These videos are so great. You quite possibly have seen the best tennis practices ever from the best perspective.

@LiamApilado - Thx, but there's a lot of great tennis practice videos and channels out there both from past years (like protennisphotos, theustatennisplayer and a number of others) and more recently, yourself included. Frankly, I'm starting to feel to damn old and worn down to keep doing this, so you'll need to come out to IW and take over in the near future.... I also have to say that I kinda hate shooting video like this Nole/Daniil one thru a hole in the back wall as it's really annoying. I started doing it years ago basically out of necessity b/c I rarely could get good a front row/middle seat in the back bleachers for the 2 biggest practice courts where they typically put the most popular players on. But folks seem to like this perspective, so I've continued to shoot it but I'd much rather shoot video on other practice courts at IW

@@12kgpTennisI’m curious, is it possible to see the court clearly from the hole or is it only through your phone up against the fence/wall you can see? I feel the same way when filming that I just want to be present and soak it all in with my own eyes instead. I would spend all day at the practice courts and miss out on matches but this year I sat and watched a few instead of filming and it was so great.

You don't own ANY apology, the quality is perfect. At full screen it feels like I am there. Thank you and please upload more! Shelton if possible or Bublik!

@LiamApilado You can see the court but you'll be hunched over peeking thru a gap. For practices with the top/popular players like this one where the stands are all full, that entire back wall will be lined up with people as there's no other way to get a view. Yea, I've shot less video (or taken video just for my personal library that I don't upload) with each passing year in favor of just watching lower ranked players or doubles that I like, but I know will draw little to no interest on the channel (which is perfectly fine and I completely understand). It's also a great way to take a breather and avoid the crowds which get bigger each year.

Which planet do you come from?

@@batboy5023 not sure exactly, but it ain't this one. Don't fit in here

@@j.jmcquade5278 I feel like i dont either sometimes...

@@j.jmcquade5278 i dont like rap or hippity hop, TV, movies, or just about anything mainstream

What are y’all talking about?? This is a tennis video?? 😂

Sabalenka and Alcaraz can clearly be heard in the background lol

Yes, Alcaraz is practicing with Tommy Paul over on the next court. Obviously, it was a madhouse and crowded as hell when these practices were going.

Have to use something with a smaller lens (smartphone, gopro, etc.) that can shoot thru the small gap between the wall and the fencing on top of it. Not ideal and honestly not the way I would want to shoot video/not the angle I would prefer to shoot at, but trying to grab front row center seats in the bleachers is too much of a hassle. So this is the only other choice if you want a back view.

Lmao

btw i really enjoyed the video i appreciate your job

Thanks for watching. It's just an old iPhone as you'll need something with a small lens to squeeze into a small gap in the back wall of the court. Maybe one of these days I'll bring more expensive gear but I really hate lugging extra stuff around all day.
