It's important to evaluate the quality of your shot very quickly and it is also relative from 1 opponent to the other depending or there defensive quality.
@@joseppi4cinqua that guy was just adding an extra thought. But when you decide to rush the net you better be all in. Once you see the other guy in a defensive mode go in for the kill
@@willkittwk another coach. Wow so many amazing coaches everywhere. How else should I play? Tell me what to do please! I want to know anything you think!
@@joseppi4cinqua well if Patrick is doing his job then he's stimulating our tennis IQ. So it's a good thing for people to absorb and formulate ideas on their own within the framework of the lesson. Then go practice and see how it plays out. I learn a lot of tips from him and also Boris Becker. Tennis is fascinating in that there's so many ways to play the game and ways to look for weaknesses to exploit. Last night I was playing doubles the guy on the BH side had a killer topspin BH and he was blasting crazy shots but when we played a low slice he would hit into the net or blast past the baseline. But that's from nobody telling him maybe when you get that slice you have to maybe play a slice back or not go for a glory shot BH. You see Djok and Fed hit slices back an forth in rallies till they get a ball that sits up to hit a good drive and take control. But I'm not gonna coach him on it and probably he won't appreciate it.
Love this, I always lose against someone who slices everything, I'm going to hit a return deep then ghost in and hopefully grab some points 😄 Thankyou ❤
Another great lesson... great way to make your opponent double guess just before they are ready to return. A couple more lessons, and I can claim that Mouratoglou is my coach ☺
Astuce pour réussir les montées à contre-temps : ne pas faire trop de bruit en courant, porter un tee-shirt de la couleur du court (pas jaune fluo stabilo !), et éviter les déo trop forts !!! 😂😂😂 sinon...grillé... bim passing ou boum lob.
Absolutely great instructions by this wonderful coach. I have seen Federer playing this numerous times, he comes in whenever he catches his opponents off guard with low short slice backhands, he is right there at the net and put away those volleys. The best thing about this approach, the surprise element it has, hard to see it when your opponent does it.
What an excellent RU-vid tutorial, this is going to be so valuable to club players like myself. I can't wait to start applying some of these tips in my own game tomorrow when I hit the courts. People would pay loads for a coaching session this good and we got it for free on RU-vid. Amazing! 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
21st century Tennis 👍🏻❤️🎾 With Patrick only the best , I like that very MUCH, the installations ,top quality, the coaching top quality,and his videos Top quality for free , you can not complain 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@MrTresto true some of the kids think this tactic was discovered yesterday.😂 forget McEnroe and Conners it was done by Poncho Gonzales and Jack Kramer.
Interesting content, interesting focus on a particular tennis tactics. Obviously to put in practice this scheme youìve to be an already evolved player because it requires an important techical base. But we can also adapt this scheme to a lower level: for example, there was an amateur player in my tennis club who often did this "ghosting in to the net" doing an high lob on the opponent's backhand(that at his level nobody can do it well, especially in the form of a winner) and he rushed to the net, playing a smash in the other side, obviously because amateur opponent could only do a lob with his precarious backhand. Winning tactic!
I mastered this and now winning against junk ballers is much easier than before. I would still win before but I had to exchange way to many balls it was tiring
Love the details! I had to lose several matches before my conditioning, overhead, and swinging volley were good enough to execute this. You have to work VERY hard to get proficient with this, but it is worth it.
In order to teach a shot correctly, how champions do it, an excellent Coach should first know how to do it correctly, if this does not happen, it means that there is a problem. Because the Coach should be able both to teach but also to imitate the gesture of each champion and also perform the difference between the various types of gestures of the champions, which apparently seem similar, but there are substantial and enormous differences to recognize. So there is no correct gesture "universal" for everyone as Mouratoglou would like to teach, but there are various types of backhand. Therefore you cannot teach Tsitsipas's backhand, if you don't know how to execute it first, and recognize the difference with Gasquet's or Federer's backhand. There is only one way, that a Coach can both TEACH and above all be able to PERFORM the champion's shot, it will be only through the study of HIS OWN gesture, (in this case the backhand), through seeing himself in the Camera, but in Slow-motion , therefore it will be necessary to take Coach Mourotoglou back, up to the total control and simulation of the champion's gesture to then think of being able to teach him. For example: one thing that is noticeable in the backhand gesture that our friend Coach performs is that he exceeds in gripping the racket by the handle, making it too high, which NO champion does, because it will prevent him from total rotation and flexibility of the wrist, without squeezing excessively the handle, which the 3 champions mentioned above do not do, and then there are many other small details that become mistakes that he commits in his backhand. A good teacher can teach a Coach (even Mourutogu himself), the gesture of the champion. I can do it to him, through my Method, that of teaching at the Wall (I'm the only one in the world who does it) or even published a book entitled "The first Manual of Tennis at the Wall" with the work he can perform at the Wall, with the camera nearby, which Mouratoglou will film, in this case, in order to correct, IMMEDIATELY, an error of his by now "crystallized" in him, but that can be rectified, precisely through the correct repetitiveness of the shots against the wall (a fundamental element) in order to be able to think about modifying or better reprogramming a shot. A tennis Master is the one who above all knows how to "repair" a gesture, rather than teaching it academically as all Masters do. If Mouratoglou wants, I could undertake to teach him how to do it and how to do the backhand of the Champions (in this case, in the same way as that of Tsitsipas or Gasquet. If you like, you can contact me. Rinaldo Massone rinaldomassone@alice
Interesting, I didn't know the name in English. In French it's called 'montée à contretemps' (off tempo run to the net), which happens at a time where your opponent can't see you as they're looking at the ball!
Wow, superb detailed tutorial monsieur Patrick, thank you so much , I really enjoy watching your tutorial s , so much I would 1 day love to goto training with you for a week, Bravo😅 from monsieur Joel.
My god man Ptrick Mouratoglou?! You are somply excelent.. Whe I was playing more often tennis, my very point was, to close in & to pass thesevice line & to manage to make most of the time "" dropshots "" Only that way, Iwas able to make them precise with 71% or 72%. So Imixed them up, othevise, my friends/opponents found out, my pattern. Thank you for the detail explanation. = ( I wish Iknew of you, much sooner? || Those 2 felloes are full of very good abilities! )
Umm how many recreational players even have mid court volleys LMAO, and they are slower, so no doesn't work unless you are already a mobile 4.5 minimum WITH great mid court volleys
after a few successful "ghosts" it's good to sometimes do a "fake ghost" by acting like you're coming in but then backing up when the opponent hits the ball. this will get them to possibly play a short ball in an attempt to pass or to overhit from a defensive positiobn.
It is NOT new - this is a classic tactic that got lost in the era of the baseliners. Rod Laver and Jimmy Connors already did this successfully in their matches.
Especially the slice preparation by opponent is a very good cue if you are not extremely fast and nimble. A slice return at recreational/intermediate level gives a huge amount of time for you to close in to the net. It's one of those type of balls where you have a lot of time to say to yourself "crap, I should have run to the net on this ball" and then, when it lands close to the baseline, you sigh and start over the point all over again with opponent back in position ;-)
A very unique and vital project for everyone which can be implemented during the match. The expression with practical lecture was quite clear and understandable, so very thanks dear Patrick.
The other benefit that he doesn't mention is that you put doubt into your opponents mind. So even if you lose the point that you ghosted in, maybe you will win the next point because the opponent is thinking about you and not the ball.
Thanks for the video! But what to do against the opponent who hit the lob practically always with 95% accuracy and even with extremely difficult defensive situations for him?
Mr. COACH...Thx for the great video and these deep insights how to understand this game...I would like to explain us more about dominant eye. I personally have left dominant eye and I want to improve my forehand...Best regards from SRB
at the recreational level, you'll get a very HIGH lob which magically lands on base line, so you'll have to run back, is even more annoying :( those pushers they have some kind of magic of making hard to get lobs.
You ' re right. Top players hit a winning stroke at pretty good speed around 140km/h. Recreational players hit at 85 - 90 km/h. At that speed the opponent can respond with a lob as you said, or they have even time to watch you at the corner of their eyes before looking at the ball itself. To the asynchronous rushing to the net, I prefer chip and charge which suit me best.
You need to hit a better quality shot before moving forward so that the opponent can’t hit a good shot back, like such lob. Down the line, low bouncing, high-angled shot (pace is less important) are good factors that increase your chance to get an easy ball from your opponent back to crush! With a good enough shot you can make it almost impossible for him.
Just step inside the baseline, if the lob is great you can step back, if it's a bit short you can volley it and move forward. For lower level play this is a better idea - being fast enough to reach the service line and having the skills to take the ball out the air with drive volleys and the like is asking a bit much.
