Zero benefits!? Just habit. He’s top ten now no? Earns millions, pro coach. Why wouldn’t they change that- that’s my question

The way he played against Medvedev today, I could see him winning at least one Grand Slam in his career. He was looking like a young Aussie Guillermo Coria out there today on the clay. With that said, yeah I doubt he will ever be number one given how good the absolute top tier players are and that he has a definite physical disadvantage.

Your mic tho.

He hit some Top spin right there in the practice ball. There’s top spin on it so he’s not completely flat all the time.

No way that flat is more margin for error. I mean no way.

"So GD fast" had to turn it off. Can't watch it in front of my kids

1:48 hes already beaten most of the best 🥴

I have invisible tears of joy every time the top guys with improving variety destroy pushers like Medvedev and Zverev.

Good analysis but too much cursing 😒

please continue these videos. They're so funny.

I like Alex but he just doesn't have the weapons

You have a point to a degree. But sinner has beaten medvedev 4 times in a row. He has improved greatly physically and mentally over the last 2 years. Medvedev to me has stagnated and is at nearly he same level and skill he has been for apmoat 5 years. He is good, but when his opponent is alcaraz, sinner, novak at their best, he will be second best.

no way de minaur is 6 feet nadal is truly just over 6 feet (even though hes listed at 6 1) and he towers over de minaur; I think all the pros stretch their height a bit.

He won't reach the very top. This is a non-surprise here. He doesn't have enough firepower, even though has definitely improved in that category over the last few years. That's why he's top 10. But certainly, it's not enough to get him to the top 5 or greater. And you did a good job explaining why his firepower is less than other top players.

You are absolutely correct! He has achieved a lot through hard work. However, Alex does not have the power to win a grand slam.

Indeed, Alex is really good, but limited against the absolute peak opposition. But he's already won many titles and spent time in the top 10. That's an incredible career for a player like him.

The gf jokes were straight up disrespectful smh

0:17 DeMinaur is 6 feet tall?!

Comes down to size simple as that

Ehh, yes but. The main problem with his game vs the greats is apparent in the comparison clips v Djoker. Alex doesn’t make the legs do all possible work in setting up for the ball. He’s often using a torso toss to reach the ball, and see that head moving around. Djokers bh you show has his weight directly over the feet, stepping in to the ball, no head movement, just a hip and torso rotation to strike. The Djoker motion looks simple, easy in the eye as they say. Federer even more so in the day. Alex serve, same thing he’s tossing torso into the court, like he’s a mm away from falling flat in serve recovery. That off balance stuff will prevent him from serve and volley success on grass, some hard. His off balance ball strike are more apparent in net transition, which speed won’t overcome.

276 subs ... you're gonna break 5k before december 2024.

You forgot about the important fact that Katie's BFF is a flyweight at 150lbs pounding the ball against heavyweights who eat his weight for breakfast

Another solid video! Thanks and can't wait for more.

Very interesting analysis!

bro you gotta activate windows

Well spoken. Your analytical approach and structure of the videos was both amusing and informing. Keep being u

You are absolutely right. Spot on… great comparison with RBA… they look like they are slapping the ball. No weight on their shots.

Best doubles match ever: inaugural ATP in Sydney with Amazing Alex de Minaur and (? lazy rubbishy) Nick Kyrgios beating top seeds UK with the perfect game play. You probably didn't notice.

Your knowledge of the technical aspects of tennis strokes is excellent and helpful. Don't mind your humour at all. But you lost me straight away when you made snide remarks about Nick Kyrgios and Kokkinakis. Went with the usual tabloid theory they are hopeless because they don't work hard enough. Look at their wikipedia entries. Kyrgios was like Alcaraz for years - overtraining, taking every ball, getting injured all the time - knee, shoulder, spine, hip, ankle, wrist, elbow - and over and over because he wasn't allowed to rest up properly because the media were screaming at him for 'tanking' or being lazy. So the injuries were compounded. Same with Kokk. Lazy blokes. Won't train. Refuse to make their injuries worse. Refuse to bang their bones about and tear their ligaments further. Just for you to yell at them further. Nick's knees have been bandaged for years. His elbows and shoulders are a mess. Please don't do an I hate Kyrgios analysis. You haven't got a clue.

Surely Sinner adding changes to his game (e.g. adding short angles) would be acting outside of his comfort zone too (like Medvedev standing close to the baseline)?

Medvedev would have won the AO if it wasn’t a slam what did he do there? At least in the first 2 sets

This was a great episode man. Funny as hell, but also astute.

you might be the straightest man alive if you aren't aroused everytime Danill hits a double fault. I know everyone says that maddy's recent form is due to his serve dropping off a bit, which it was tbh. It would be nice if that was it, and it's just a quick switch on, a bit of shoulder mobility work and our hard court specialist is back but we can only dream. But he's a grandpa comapred to these zoomers now. I wince if i try to think about him sustaining his energy in those first 1 and a helf sets at the AO final where he was pushing Sinner, only giving him low balls and making him hit running forehands to hit into the crowd. And meddy can't just close his eyes and avatar-mode his way to a win like carlos can. or he can try and bounce it higher so sinner has to jump everytime to attempt to crack his deer legs.

So tsitsipas beat the current best player in the world so tsitsipas #1 coming soon??

Best tennis channel hands down. Great insights.

To say Daniil did not cook is an understatement 😂

Immediate subscribe

i mean is this a hot take lmao, he never was a huge talent lol

In this day and age, it's hard for anyone at 6ft or less to be amongst the best of the best, especially over a prolonged period of time. Alcaraz is an exception to the rule, being a supreme athlete and a great hitter. But even Alcaraz has shown some vulnerability as of late. Lack of power on his serve means that he has to compensate in other aspects of his game, which is something that requires a lot of effort and makes him prone to injury. So just based on his size, De Minaur is at a disadvantage to begin with. So he has done exceptionally well to reach the level and ranking that he has. Having said that, he can improve technically and definitely this analysis is a fair assessment of what he can improve on. With an improvement in his technique, he could potentially achieve better results but his size will hinder him from being at the very top for a long time. Stats clearly show that the majority of the best players tend to be in the range of 6ft1-6ft4, which includes the likes of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Murray, Sampras, Becker, Edberg and more recent stars like Sinner and Tsitsipas.

DeMinaur is also a little front on when serving which holds him back too.

Were you playing catch with your dog using your microphone while recording this video? Good analysis otherwise, cheers

I appreciate the use of comic delivery mixed with analysis, man. While the style is pretty common, its not something I've seen done with regards to tennis. Hopefully you blow up. Glad I came across your channel so early. I believe characters like Dan Evans, Bublik, Benoit Paire etc would fit your mold well. Or even everyone's favourite top player to hate in Casper Ruud

Also another reason that I am skeptical is his serve, he doesn’t really get much pace or do much with the serve to start in advantageous positions so he has to constantly be in neutral rallies on his own serve

Due to his bad technique his is not able to produce powerful strokes. That's what top players actually have, the so called "Punch". But I still believe he can do something. Remember David Ferrer also played if I am not mistaken two GS Finals.

Alex DeMinaur : TOP 9 TENNIS PLAYER KZfaq : "Why Alex DeMinaur Will Not Reach the Top" about spin : Claycourt is around 5k points. Hardcourt is around 12k. That's why no great players are clay court specialist since the beginning of the open era : hardcourt is a non-negociable. great channel ! subbed !

DeMinaur is the only tennis player in the world who's both overrated and underrated at the same time. It's just a pain to watch him. There's nothing you can learn from watching him like you can with Alcaraz, Sinner and Djokovic.

She s not that hot

Great job! I think that there is not enough deep analysis of player's play styles like this so I'd love to see more! I'm always looking for things the pros are doing that I can incorporate into my own game (which happens to be somewhat similar to De Minaur/Murray)
