continuing to be the GOAT tennis channel on KZbin IMO. Thank you as always 12kgp!!

[@12kgpTennis]

Definitely not the GOAT tennis channel… but appreciate the kind words. Been shooting these vids for more than a decade. Never imagined anyone ever wanted to watch my amateur home videos of my tennis trips

[@andreaho]

Stop overexggrating and say the truth.

[@geutz2000]

[@ktownsearch2012]

[@PTI1992]

Love it!

nice video！I love peoples figure in the background

[@tommasogaetani7964]

what shoes is grigor using ?

[@12kgpTennis]

Old Vapor 9

[@tommasogaetani7964]

@@12kgpTennis oh ok thanks! is it possible to still find them on market? I guess he can because of the sponsorship...

[@12kgpTennis]

They have been long discontinued and not sold anymore. Only way to find them is thru places like eBay. Although did read rumors of Nike bringing back the Vapor 9.5 next spring. The Vapor 9/9.5 are GOAT shoes, and many pros are still wearing them over Nike’s current shoes

[@tommasogaetani7964]

@@12kgpTennis yeah they are so much better than the current vapors. Hope they really bring them back... would be smart for nike.

[@Foolwithouthumility]

You'll never be even 90% of Grigor's level so don't try buying his shoes.

[@Pola509]

May I ask what you recorded with? Thank you!

[@andrewtruscott8515]

It’s not ‘terrible’…

[@geutz2000]

Is there anything uglier than playing tennis sockless / with invisible socks ? 😐

[@notyouraveragespiritraven5143]

Imagine having a solid game all around, but then having a hideous FH and arrogant attitude like Evans

[@ezza1236]

Evans face annoys me sometimes

[@leroydavis236]

It blows my mind that Dan Evans is even top 100 he is so bad

[@nicolasheinze5339]

Sure buddy

[@vladraduandrei5227]

it blows my mind that retads like you still think they re funny. Evans is a goddamn talented player.

[@ronny_duval]

Can’t be top 100 by being bad

[@pierreraynaud6714]

So cool to see how bad 😂you know tennis

[@jyp6655]

Give it up to Dan evans having the worst tattoos on the planet

[@mattstyles1244]

😁

[@MrRovoLova]

How does a pro like Dan Evans have such a terrible backhand? All he does is slices.

[@user-dv4dh8mf9t]

How’s that terrible?

[@MrRovoLova]

@@user-dv4dh8mf9t slices are much easier to hit than driven backhands

[@user-oe4wr9tn2n]

@@MrRovoLova He has a top 5 slice on tour maybe top three and has beaten Djokovic with that slice. He doesnt have insane weapons which prevents him from progressing farther, but he is absolutely a top 50 talent.

[@abass1770]

Tell me about it, I mean Steffi Graf hit 99% slice backhands and look how awful she was.......;)

[@toddrhodes4251]

A low biting slice is an effective tool against players with big FHs as it limits their ability to get below the ball and create topspin to keep the ball in the court, thereby limiting their ability to hit as big as they want to. That's why you often see players trading slices back and forth-they realize that they can't get under the ball effectively enough to weaponize their shot, so they try to hinder the opponent from going big on his shot as well. A slice also is effective at disrupting an opponent's rhythm by varying the shot pace. Dan Evans isn't quite a pusher, but he's not known as a power hitter on tour either. His slice, however, is perhaps the best on tour, and it helps immensely to have a means of neutralizing power and varying pace when going up against power hitters. Just look at Ash Barty's success in using the slice. She had a great slice and used it very well to exploit a vulnerability in the women's tour, which, unlike the men's tour, had not seen many players using the slice BH so effectively on their tour after the advent of the power game.
