Backhand: the basics

[@jeanpauljeanpaul2530]

Saw this coach at the tournament in Canada…he literally sits straight up, no slouching for Halep’s entire match…very disciplined guy.

ALso gave her illegal drugs that got her banned and probably ruined her career.

[@brettneuberger6466]

Twelve years old. Wow! So good. Love Patrick’s positive teaching approach!

[@ملتقهرمانایران]

Ce monsieur est un menteur, il n'a jamais été capable de sortir des joueurs et joueuses de lui même. Il s'est toujours servi des travails des autres en particulier des parents: par exemple Serena Williams, Aravane Rezaï, Gregor Dimitrov. Il cherche des joueurs qui sont au plus haut de leur niveau, qui ont de l'argent. Le tennis est un sport de bourgeois. C'est un manipulateur.

[@nba_fan7214]

Crazy what a good coach can do in just 10 mins. She did great and made a lot of improvement in that short time

[@willkittwk]

Your dreaming. Lol anybody who's a tennis player can do that dry run in a few minutes .You have to do it over and over to get it down for weeks or months to get it with live balls. And if you don't wanna hit thousands of balls no matter if Patrick or Federer or whoever is teaching you forget about it. You're not gonna have that shot.

[@JoshuaWilliam-zb7sx]

Maybe for you

[@amal_mk]

Your best video so far because we felt her progress and understood the changes she made to improve her backhand

[@thefridgeman]

Top level trainer who doesn't shy to feed balls by hand from a basket, when and if needed. Respect!

[@stevem9289]

Would love to see the same for a student with one-handed backhand.

[@corazonmadera931]

Yeah, such a great coach..

[@GrahamL2000]

He did do a few for us but yeah, love his one hander too! 🤠🎾😉

[@bournejason66]

I wonder who’s her coach, the coach develops her game thus far. She’s clearly already a top junior. Her forms look amazing

[@VicDamoneJr82]

Dope name she def has 10k hours

[@willkittwk]

Her BH needs power. Any tennis player knows your ball that hits in court has to hit the back fence without bouncing again. That one left hand drill is going to help.

[@carlosraventosprieto2065]

​@@willkittwk she is 12

[@willkittwk]

​@@carlosraventosprieto2065I train to 12 year old girls in California. They hit almost as hard as teenage guys. But they're both lacking consistency cause they don't wanna train every day. And there's a big difference between training and practice.

[@rajatyadav7162]

Mr Patrick.. you are an awesome coach. I love the way you articulate and make players understand exactly what you want out of them. I hope to visit your academy in coming years. Thanks for the videos!

[@Frank020]

She's so good, that she could actually give me lessons. ⭐ Great bite sized lesson coach.

[@partmist6727]

You are fantastic. Love your simple explanations.

Jai Sitaram. Marvellous Patrick. I like your teaching.

[@UchihABitachi]

Awesome progression by the student! Very quickly learned & taught!!

[@smueller12244]

It is hilarious seeing her bounce on her feet after hitting well with her left only, she is happy to see it. I need to learn this shot myself thanks to both of them. They are both great hitters

[@soumik-bumbabose1551]

Excellent Training System. Especially for those who wants to play power tennis with perfect. Very helpful Video. Thank you very much for this Video. From :- Malda, West Bengal, India .

Each and every video is simply Superb..

[@santhiyag1650]

as always your instructions are fantastic. Thank you

[@corazonmadera931]

Amazing lesson! Looking forward to see a one handed back hand lesson.

[@EdmonBegoli]

@Patrick Muratoglou- thanks for sharing. It would be great to get your take (and instruction) on a one handed backhand. I play a decent 1H BH but would like to hear your take and if it is worth switching to 2H BH for control, power and consistency as I progress at a skill level and competitive play (currently a 3.5/4.0).

[@relaxandwinintennis2550]

Good instructions…. ❤

[@angeldiluciano2317]

Great ! Muy bueno !!

[@OptimusOctopuss5302]

Great job coach!! Now I understand what’s happening and what’s going on.

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

Patrick is an one hand back hander 🙂

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Whats your point? Thats off topic. Everyone knows that Patrick has a one handed backhand. Doesnt mean his students also have a one handed backhand. Serena Williams and Simona Halep both have a double handed backhand.

[@unknownentiti2351]

find a better coach. also prove his points wrong, please

[@HartmannTennis]

Thanks coach, will remember this for my next practice

[@franciscomanrique4979]

Gracias

[@Horcaplayer]

ty for sharing this

[@Tech_Publica]

I might be mistaken by I am under the impression than when he said "short cross" she understood "a diagonal shot that will land short" and not a small angle... :)

[@laurastone6578]

I think you might be right.

[@willkittwk]

Got it genius. But not a bad idea to practice the baby BH slice when you get push deep and wide on the BH side dropping it in that little " funny bone" which is angled barely over net to your opponent BH. Even all the pros have problems with it . Fed loves to do that then move in and usually get a cross court drop that is so awkward to execute for anybody.

[@OoOo-e6x]

This was better than my 120$ an hour coach.

[@willkittwk]

That's cuz he's a $1000 an hour coach and for idle rich millionaires probably $10,000 and hour😂

Great vid Patrick! I’m a big fan of you and I’m playing tennis aswell, I started when I was four for some years, them I went on atletic and after that football but I got a foot injury. Now I’m very happy that I play tennis again and it goes very well, also my coach says it. I really like the way you are kind for the people you train also when they put a ball in the net. Keep it up

[@MiS-jy4gm]

Hey Coach At the video it appears she keeps here arms close to the body, during the swing and hitting Is that how she should be executing this shots?

[@matebesisehume2623]

Man I feel like a Dinosaur 🦖

[@aylathayladiversoes9680]

Ok…and

[@MK-------]

She still keeps struggling to play cross at the end. It has to do with her timing. When the ball bounces she isnot ready with her loop and therefore is too late. That makes it hard to play cross and balls will go down the middle.

[@laurastone6578]

Damn…I WOULD NOT gotten that close to that girl…especially when she started hitting backhands with only her left hand! 😳

[@BrunoSLB]

Why do you love the spin so much? these days it looks like, that much spin is not the way to go!! sinner, alcaraz, medvedev etc...

[@icyolives]

Sinner’s backhand has the most average topspin on the ATP, you can look it up. Spin doesn’t only mean slow and loopy. Those guys hit with crazy topspin to hit the angles and pace they hit and still have the ball land in the court, just not always high over the net.

[@Hueho1]

Referring to that the guy appears to be really very supportive and excited in this lesson (see other comments) according to his website he charges 5000.-$ for 40 min of a private lesson ( worked as a tennis teacher myself in the early days but for only a fraction of that money I would be even more supportive and excited than this guy) 😅😅😅 Final Note: from all the students he is teaching , including this very talented 12 year old girl- only a minute fraction, I.e.

[@AaeriosYT]

Roger Federer didn’t have a baby. Talk shit about Serena all you want, she’s the greatest to ever play and is still competitive at the top level, and winning, at 40! What have you done?

@@AaeriosYT certainly more for humanity than you will ever do …; unfortunately your IQ might be limiting to even remotely grasp this..( IQ might be limited by the size of a basketball court) @serenawilliams: she is currently destroying her legacy by being in a really pitiful physical ,shape and beating women ranked in the 200th only.., and her baby is now 5 years old…

I am sorry, but in my opinion the thing about Serena Williams was too much. Federer didn't have a child, so think before writting ;)
