You should totally make a part two to this video, with Rybakina, Alexandrova, Yastremska etc

hahahahahahaha *gives you a huge high five* broooooo

AHAHHAHAA

6. Monica Niculescu :)

Hahahhahaha

😭. The weakest players to ever go pro

I’m not sure Giorgi hits that hard, I’d say it’s the tremendous pace rather than strength in her case. Kanepi on the other hand is pure strength indeed.

Love the context of your comment! Seeing players in real life is totally different than TV/computer. To be able to see how beautifully struck their shots are is what every true tennis fan should experience at least once!

This is one of the major problems with our sport is that you can’t get an appreciation for the game unless you see it in person.

I always considerd Giorgi one of the weakest

@@fallendevonish1869 she hits very flat. It’s more about timing than strength so you may be right.

It's hard to play like that and not get hurt this is why Serena is different.

Hauling body fat around the court for hours.

Missing garcia quinwen zheng and ALEXANDROVA xD

OK because U was about to ask if you were only considering this year. One question is this based on statistics or just who seems to be hitting harder/faster

i think the sameeee, and then collins and yastremska for me

True alona should be the one.

it's not an unpopular opinion. It's the truth. It's part of what leads to all this WTA inconsistency and the reason most, if not all, of these power players will not win slams. And it comes down to to coaching. All these girls are coached to simply be aggressive and go for their shots, even if they are missing. They have no idea how to problem-solve and change-up their game if their shots aren't landing in. Like adding more spin, hitting to safer targets, or coming to net more. And as result, we get terrible matches, like the 2017 USO final. And you would think after Keys' terrible performance in that final, she would have learned from it and tried to improve her consistency. But it's been 5 years, and she still plays the same high-risk brand of tennis. It might look nice, but she hasn't won that much and is not a factor at slams. The men are coached to slug it out from the baseline as well. The difference, though, is that they are also taught to be consistent and defend. They don't have to go for broke every point. They can keep points alive with their defense & court coverage, and utilize spin for extra margin and safety.

@@pomerlain8924 To some extent, we can blame this on the Seles/Williams sisters/Sharapova mold. Except these players could consistently paint the lines, finish points at the net and had the mental toughness to raise their level on the big points.

Couldn't agree more. I think it may be better to slow down the surfaces again to somewhat reduce the advantage of hard hitting. But it's the development of better racquet and string technology that allowed ultra aggression to become the norm, so there's no going back.

@@laprimaverrra I obviously don’t count them in this category. Seles and Serena are all time greats with complete games, Venus was a superb athlete in her prime and had plenty of variety and one of the best net games ever. Sharapova was kind of robotic in the later half of her career and never had great movement so she always looked a bit awkward on the court, but at least she was mostly consistent.

​@@laprimaverrra Seles, the Williams sisters, Sharapova, and Davenport all had better control and made proper tactical decisions. Even Clijsters, Pierce, & Henin. For example, if they were pulled outside the doubles alley, they were not going to try to hit a DTL winner from there. They would make the smart decision to roll the ball back cross-court to reset the point. They all had power, but they knew when and where to use it. And with the exception of Sharapova, they knew how to grind matches out playing their B, C, D, etc. games to get the win when they were making a lot of errors.

Rybakina peaked more after the video was produced.. She is up there now

Yastremska should probably be on this list. Still a good list.

DAMN THOSE WERE EXACTLY THE PLAYERS ON MY MIND THAT I WAS THINKING WERE MISSING

LITERALLY

I wrote a comment saying quinwen garcia and ALEXANDROVA should've been top 5 here without reading your comment lol

Even pegula and sakkari can probably make it here or be an honourable mention

Wouldn’t go right to powerful? Lol I’d say more so a consistent hitter man

No she ain't

@@nathangraham1760 bro they won't change. They compare her with Serena 😂

@@krishnakumar2390 LOL!! serena at their current age would have them girls crying LOL hell I bet 1000000 damn dollars Serena could make a MF comeback now and still slaughter these girls please! LOL 🤣iga wanna Be Rena so badddd lol 😂

@@nathangraham1760 nathan they are not actually accepting a point that this lga is playing in a weaker era of nobody's 😂 tell me frankly ignore ree she's too much for her, can iga stop prime Venus, Sharapova or vika?

Rybakina is weak. She didn't even qualify for next week's WTA Finals. She in the race to WTA Finals ended up being only 21st. Ostapenko in the race ended up being 18th, but Jabeur 2nd. Plus Rybakina got destroyed by nobody from France in US Open first round with the score of 4:6 and 4:6. Elena Rybakina is weak. She can't win even against outside top 130 opponent. Jabeur lost to Rybakina in Wimbledon Final, because of pressure and because she played badly herself.

@@einarsd4 Rybakina didn't qualify for the wta finals because Wimbeldon wasn't with ranking points this year- the russians and belarussians players weren't allowed to participate because of the war. Before you critisize her you should learn some facts. She suposed to be a top 10 player with this 2000 ranking points missing. I bet that you wouldn't manage to return one ball from her so weak she isn't😂😂

@@shaharrosenberg8659 If she can't even win one set against as weak opponent as Oceane Dodin is, then she is weak. And I know that in Wimbledon no ranking points were given to tennis players. And Rybakina isn't the only one who was affected by it. If all Russian and Belarusian tennis players would have been allowed to participate in Wimbledon, Rybakina wouldn't have won it. With tennis players like, Azarenka, Sabalenka, Kasatkina, Samsonova around, Rybakina on any surface doesn't stand a chance. Kasatkina even without Wimbledon managed to qualify for WTA Finals. Elena Rybakina even struggled against Ons Jabeur and barely defeated her. Elena Rybakina defeated Ons Jabeur, because Jabeur played badly.

@@einarsd4 Rybakina won Andreescu in the 2nd round, Halep in the semis and Jabuer in the final so she dosen't had an easy road to the title. The russians and belarussians weren't change alot because except of Sabalenka there isn't a strong grass player. Kasatkina, if you are talking, is a weak player who basically run and defend until her oponnent will miss. She dosen't have a backhand and 2nd serve at all!! Rybakina loss to Burel in the Us Open dosen't say alot because most of the recent years grand slam champ aren't having a good results right afterwards (kenin, stephens, ostapenko, andreescu, osaka last year, raducanu...). There is just not the same mentality in these years that grand slam champ had in the past (serena, venus, clijters, sharapova, henin, hingis, azarenka...)

@@shaharrosenberg8659 What a bullshit you just wrote. Andreescu, Osaka, Stephens and Ostapenko are far superior to your beloved Rybakina. Kenin had bad season that's all. Ostapenko, Stephens, Osaka and Andreescu didn't lose to opponents outside of top 130. Elena Rybakina did. This shows that Elena Rybakina doesn't have serve and return. Daria Kasatkina qualified for WTA Finals even without participating in Wimbledon. Daria Kasatkina is Wimbledon former Quarter-Finalist, Azarenka is former world #1, Samsonova won 4 tournaments this season and played as an equal with 1ga Swiatek. Ostapenko even defeated Iga Swiatek at the start of this season. Rybakina is weak. She is ball basher with weak style. This year's US Open showed that she is indeed weak. If she can't take even a set against weakling like Oceane Dodin, then she doesn't belong in top 100. Just put against her any decent opponent and she will lose the match. Kasatkina is way better than Rybakina. They do and they have. This era is far more competitive which means that this era has far better mentality than previous eras had. Nowadays reaching top 100 is great achievement, in previous eras it wasn't as great. Not so long ago Rybakina lost in 3 sets to Katerina Siniakova. As you can see, Rybakina is so weak, that she can't win against opponents against which most tennis players will win. Even Siniakova has better first and second serves. If in Wimbledon Belarusian and Russian tennis players would have been allowed to participate, then Rybakina wouldn't have won the tournament. Andreescu would have won against Swiatek if umpire in the 1st set tiebreak wouldn't have made that costly mistake in line call. Ostapenko, Raducanu, Stephens, Osaka and Andreescu are all former top 10 tennis players a ranking which even to this day Rybakina wasn't able to reach. Barbora Krejcikova right after winning French Open last year qualified for WTA Finals. And this year she in Ostrawa Final defeated Iga Swiatek. And here you are saying that recent Grand Slam champions doesn't have good results right after. Iga Swiatek won 8 out of our 9 finals this season. How about you do your research and shut up? You only embarrass and humiliate yourself.

Serena has a very well-rounded game that holds up well under pressure. She is a category unto herself as part of the limited pantheon of GOATs. These players are known for power as their signature weapon more than anything else.

Venus should be included as well as Davenport

Ree, Vee, Maria I can say these three are the best.

Come on! We've only seen the honorable mentions here!

Quinwen zheng i agree but the rest not top 10 hardest tbh.. maybe shuai can also make it but not sure Zheng tho hits the ball top 5 hardest.

@@Simon-zl6ek yes, not top 10, but the hardest I saw at Monterrey haha

are you one of the ballboy where leylah won? like this year? because the players you mentioned were the one she played against with

@@fritzdc6769 yep, and in 2020 when Svitolina won

And you would think after her horror show US Open final performance, she would have tried to make the necessary adjustments to add more spin and margin and have better rally tolerance. But 5 years on, she still plays the same way. Almost like she's hoping that eventually she'll hit a purple patch for a full two weeks at a slam where all her big shots land in. If she could ever learn some consistency and add a b, c, d game, she could be a serious threat.

She's the Queen of Unforced Errors.

Yeah,I've thought Madison Keys is one biggest hitters in the game,but to inconsistent for a fine player. She might win smaller tournaments,good for the bank account,but gets only small amount of ranking points. I find her a fine player,but their has been many of her type of player,but I still like seeing her play.🎾🇺🇸💐🎾

Iga is not a power hitter she just playing normally.

@@krishnakumar2390 with forehands and BH close to 150kmh is not power player? Mate lol

@@slawomirpietraszak6839 against whom is what really matters, against pushers even I can do more than that, pounder to pounder like if she plays like this against prime serena, Sharapova or venus then that's great not in this era. Against to a pusher like gauff it's easy to deploy such forehand. IGA has no backhand power what ur talking about is only her forehand power. She has no backhand like big gals. Just a average one.

@@krishnakumar2390 swiatek no BH power? Lol u are delusional. Swiatek overpowered everybody from the list presented in this vid. Open ur eyes and learn something about tennis, take a look on avg. groundstroke speed etc u have no idea about tennis

Lol how?

@@chimchimo.5050 that’s the joke..

I think it was only with players in activity ! That's also why Serena isn't there

@@antoniobusto3610 you are missing my joke i think, radwanska was the most defensive player😭

@@Ianadelrey_ oh I'm sorry 😂😂😂

She had no power but lot of skills and inteligence

With more pace I would say, tho still really hard, sharapova too

@@thedeceiverl.b.3972 she was doped up

@@mikelyn1035 yeah I forgot lol💀

@@thedeceiverl.b.3972 sharapova pre 2006 will eat you up

I think semi western

semi western or eastern i think

Kitchen spoon grip

I second this!

They’re probably racist

Because they’re men

Missing garcia zheng and alexandrova

Vika? Azarenka has never been one of the hardest hitters; her strength is depth and consistency.

@@ramonecricket5183 and her BHDDL is just money.

This list is what I agree with.

Marie pierce to 😅

When Jennifer Capriati was in the zone she was hard to beat 👍 My favourite player so I may be bias

Pokazała Ige akurat w 2 przegranych meczach, zapomniała że wygrała 7 turniejów w tym 2 Wielkie Szlemy 😀🏆🏆🏆

i think they are active hitters,but not"powerful"ones,compared to keys/osaka/sabalenka type ...

yastremska hits soo hard

Alexandrova and garcia and zheng are missing lol
