Denis Shapovalov, 2018 US Open practice, 4K

[@LucaSevenfold]

his cordination is just insane! real beauty.

[@strontor]

love his style of play, so much aggression and touch combined

[@youngzheng8408]

i love how half the comment section is people trying to coach Shapo. As if they know anythjng compared to him

[@ronniemcinerney3273]

yeah people are so quick to pass judgement.Like they have any idea.

[@lloydvalenciano9398]

Exactly! They probably cant score a 15 with shapovalov.

[@johnv8754]

If his mother can coach him to become a professional tennis player...I'm sure I can too.

[@sooyoungmoon1530]

Thanks for the footage, man. as always. Shapovalov is also a pleasure to watch, with his perfect coordination, especially how he generates immense power from kicking the ground and rotating/jumping. Quite different from other players who display perfect coordination themselves, such as Federer, whose form is rather still and stationary (not jumping or rotating 180 degrees like Shapo), thereby securing more control and balance, I guess.

[@proTennisPhotos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bskelto]

federer is nowhere close to stationary on his strokes.

[@MRB96]

He is a pleasure to watch, I hope he can achieve his potential giving his talents.

[@Callumliuu]

Super clean and loose hitting, hope this guy wins multiple slams

[@HCaulfield115]

Future #1

[@ManBearPig14]

I wonder what he's thinking about during a rally... "Alright I'll swing even harder this time, let's see what happens!"

[@mrd2010]

meanwhile his health condition of soft tissue is on a one-way flight to the destination called permanent damage.

[@mrd2010]

@TheFedHD i'm not jealous a bit. he is one of most powerful player i've seen. his footwork is quite unstable, so he relies on these frequently slight jumping to produce more power to hit the ball, every time, and that's already quite heavy in practice in long run. in other way, speak of ball hitting, his grip is like djokovic who has got an issue in the elbow, and there're some problems i still can mention with, like shoulder rotation, bended knees, high tension on the left heel, ball watching... you can totally see his spine is very twist and lean, so just make it short, his technics are very off to me, i am very sure 'cuz i was a lefty single backhanded and had made most of mistakes i just say about. oh, maybe you're right about one thing, i do jealous he has physiotherapists, so I bring these injures back and quit early.

[@lefthooklansing]

I like watching around 4 minutes because you see blue shirt guy really struggle with Dennis amazing and relentless spinny pace. It's breathtaking.

[@patrickcarson290]

Denis Shapovalov- a Chapion in the making.

[@patrickcarson290]

Just kidding. He's so bad that he won't even win one grandslam. =P

[@alleniverson397]

0:51 damn that’s a nice backhand

[@marikenobi1817]

Look at his mum, so cute

[@johnv8754]

He's saving a boat load of money from not hiring professional coach who can potentially guide him to a slam title. Who needs slam while you can have a boat load of money.

[@bounce_hit3534]

Yeah that’s definitely my boi Frank Dancevic on the other side. The first Canadian to get me jazzed about tennis

[@jjns5600]

Dancevic never amounted to very much though...throughout most of his career, hovering around 120+, routine qualifier/journeyman...but hey, easy to say right? Tough sport

[@DanTuber]

lefties always look good especially denis.

[@dia685]

I like it because it's different from Nadal and Verdasco in play style.

[@Elastiboy20]

Who is the hitting partner?

[@jackitbl4des616]

Mikhail Youzhny I believe

[@bounce_hit3534]

Frank Dancevic most likely. My boi the Davis Cup captain for Canada I think

[@ethanlim3222]

I thought it was NIcolas Almagro! But yeah, Frank Dancevic seems to be more right

[@abujabi]

can't put my finger on why his partner's 1h seem so much less efficient. it hits pretty clean but is so much weaker

[@user-ig1ew2kb8t]

Looks unnatural/ forced. He lacks on the take back, look how much more lively it is on Shapos

[@johnv8754]

A lot of power, but inconsistent backhand with short-balls at best = being abused by top 10 players.

Try to jump less on your strokes. That is the source of your unforced errors. Watch fed

[@youngzheng8408]

how about domic thiem? is he inconsistent as well?

[@ronniemcinerney3273]

He uses his legs correctly thats how he creates all his power,ground reaction force.

[@diabloo28]

@@ronniemcinerney3273 yeh but he is putting too much into it that his whole body is out of position most of the time thats why he cant sustain long rallies

[@henrylee4374]

It's just a different technique. It clearly works for him

[@EAMFilms]

The issue no one is talking about is that he's a tad late on his forehand. He's letting the ball get a little too close to him before he hits it. He's extending the arm, but the ball is getting beyond his hand, causing him to hit it late. If he'd hit a little further out in front of him, I think he'll be pretty solid. Backhand is looking great imo.

[@seaneckhart9914]

His forehand could be a little more compact. Very nice backhand though
