I've seen a couple of Maria's practice sessions where she doesn't start grunting until she's been on the court for 20-30 mins. Have also seen her fairly quiet for the 1st set of a match but then becomes more vocal in the 2nd
@oceanbnd yes I know. What I mean is that both of them are usually monkey levels of loud but the comments are only talking about Sharapova when the same applies for Nadal
@@randomcommentor7001 so why do women want equal rights? Especially in price money, when they dont play in the same income. Crowds are 80% interessted in male tennis.
Man Maria knew Nadal was going to have some trouble with those flat laser beams 😜. And Nadal wasn't even trying to go for that back hand 😂. Maria has one of the best backhands of all times. But what's super cool is both of these championships are both ambidextrous and play with their least dominate side. 🤯.
Genau wie es sein soll: stets den Ball an der höchsten Stelle treffend und immer leicht versetzt vorm Körper, danach direkt in die offene Grund- Fußposition zurückkehrend!
ese es el tenis de hoy en dia... a ver quien sacude mas del fondo ... a ver quien le pega mas duro o acelera mas el swing....que triste... el tenis es otra cosa......
Rafa is going 3/4 speed and aiming right at her. Meanwhile, she’s going full speed just to hit them back. He’s not grunting cuz he’s going easy, she’s not grunting cuz she’s barely hanging in there and has no time!
@@Shankar-Bhaskar Because they’re having a friendly hit. The more powerful player always has to go easy during friendly rallies with less powerful players in order to keep the points going so they both enjoy themselves.
@@jaytravtulsa1 Again, you are assuming that. Sharapova too is a professional tennis player; sure she isn't a man and as strong as Rafa, but she doesn't need to be in a tennis rally. Tennis rackets these days provide plenty of free power. I have seen many women go toe to toe with men in tennis rallies, and neither player is "going easy" on the other.
See how Sharapova's ball drops after it bounces, and Nadal has to pick it up from the ground almost. As of Nadal's ball bounces higher and deeper, that's why Nadal is very hard to play against. His ball is not as flat as most men, not to mention women.
I'm impressed by how she can take the ball so early, some of these are virtually half-volleys off the baseline. Great technique, many people think it's all about power but truly great players are great at just about everything.
She was a great player at her peak, but look closely and you'll see that she is having every ball hit straight back at her with no attempt by Nadal to score.
@@yeeeaaahmayneee3808 its not a half volley, its hitting on the rise. its true that a lot of amateur players cant do this. but its a common techniek between decent players
That fourth forehand is pure hand eye coordination and incredible timing; the technique is not textbook, so it is a testament to her talent. Seeing her play at this angle actually makes me realise how skilled she is. Her ground strokes were some of the best ever - perfect backhand technically and a very unusual forehand but she made it work. Was really just her serve that let her down and she had no volleys to speak of.
My guess is they aren't going 100%. They were just hitting the ball back and forth to each other and not actually going for passes like an actual game. Notice how they actually start making grunts when they start hitting harder at the end.
@@allainangcao28 That exchange is definitely at 100%. Most definitely from Sharapova. He's right, screaming isn't necessary. Thats why a lot of screamers temporarily stop screaming when their mood changes and they forget about it.
Apparently it's impossible to shut up about men being better that women in tennis. Just enjoy the rallying. Enjoy the tennis. Sharapova would beat everyone in this comment section.
@@DoesntMattertbh Well maybe we would have to agree to disagree, but a top boys junior is basically going to be someone less than a year away from going pro or a top college recruit, and he to be at that level, he would have to be able to beat the top pro women's player at that point. So my point was that the original comment would be wrong since there could be such a person in the comments section.
Yeah, I hadn't noticed before, but she _does_ keep her head still for a _looong_ time after hitting the ball, doesn't she! Follow-through is 100% complete before she starts tracking the ball with her head again. 💯
@@Kuros666 that's a different thing. the way people talk about follow through is always in relation to the shot being made as if through magic the movements you make after the ball has left the racket impact the flight of the ball. but even in relation to being "stable and ready for the next hit", tennis is not ping pong, the next shot is not coming in 0,5 secs, you have plenty of time. and all of these follow through rituals have barely any impact on that. the original comment that I replied to is a great example of that. how exactly does keeping your head still for several seconds after hitting the ball and only moving your head after said seconds impacts anything, really?
@@MrPiotrV Its a lot easier to focus on the follow through and prep when teaching rather than the small moment of contact. Try and swing through the ball vs stop after the moment of contact and notice the power difference. The path which you take to the ball is important and the follow through is a result of that.
You have made a great point. Roger's sharpness in shots declined but his movements and footwork improved with age and that kept him in the game against nearly everyone with the exception of Nole on most occassions😊
@@roelkuiper9919 If Player A hits the ball & Player B is unable to touch it with his racquet before the ball bounces twice, then it's a Winner for Player A
Maria was so hard to watch, her shrieking was uncomfortable to hear while she was playing. Then you had Serena doing the same 😂Nadals grunting wasn't too bad
