Coach Patrick, thank you for this amazing video. I've been coaching a young lady for many months now, her forehand has always been a huge weakness/problem. I used your methods from this session, within 30 minutes her forehand was transformed. She went from an error-strewn beginner to crushing the ball with depth and spin during our hour practice. Thank you so much for providing us with this!!!!!

[@colinbyer3018]

Telling a beginner these tips would not make them suddenly hit a modern forehand these are tips for players that are already pretty good

[@huma0605]

Agree. These are very high level tips.

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

Hello Will, thank you for watching and learning! I am glad I was able to help!

[@HughMcQ]

So good, Patrick, in fact 'super good'!

[@TrainLikeAProDaily]

This is a great video. I remember having exactly the same problem with the forehand. It is interesting to see that almost every beginner player can have this type of short or rushed forehand. Patrick's technique is gold. It took me a long time to get my mind to extend the arm through the shot as if someone would pull the front of your racquet forward and perpendicular to the net before you finish the swing up your shoulder. So yeah, this is the best video I've seen that teaches a flawless, beautiful forehand.

[@mohammedrachid556]

Wow long sentence

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

First things i noticed were his exceptional footwork and fluid hitting motion. Must be fun playing that good, especially being just 13 years old. Mouratoglou must have something going on, attracting so many good players.

He is an excellent marketer and makes players feel comfortable. He is a faux technician, but gets kudos because some big players enjoy his ‘e 8:41 space’. None of the mentioned players improved their technique with him. E.g. Halep; she improved under DC, not PM.

[@kuanhau4323]

He has a killer forehand. Perhaps good to explain that it works in some situations and in other situations which may not be under his control such as an opponent looking to counteract your tendencies, such as his tendency to full body rotation to generate both power and direction, potentially making him take that extra step to stabilise himself when landing. With the early preparation and using racket speed to generate more spin, he has another type of weapon to generate or defend angles.

[@mb-shadow-f2v]

Actually two technical skills before the adjusting, it is the legs drive, but no upper body mass impact after that is the upperbody rotation, but it looks not smooth.

[@mamm171177]

excelent video thanks a lot .. alot of teachers ..seed .. no relax the wrist...it is to bad ç

[@CJZM7777]

Good lesson. The player tucks his elbows in too close to his body on both his forehand and backhand. Good idea to get him to extend a bit. He doesn't have to hit a straight arm forehand like Federer and Nadal but Djokovic's bent arm forehand has his elbow out several inches from his torso. This player was tucking the elbow near his torso. He could also improve his 2 handed backhand by extending out to contact and getting his elbows away from his torso a few inches. You get more leverage and racket head speed when you are farther away at contact. I like the early prep too.

[@deepaksajwan319]

Sir, i am big of you..I have learnt a lot from your videos... But I am still struggling to deal with high balls.. I see pro players crushing high balls...when I try to do that I either hit them to net or hit them out of court.. Please make video on dealing with high balls..

Knew of Mark from his previous training centre, the same place Raducanu trained as a junior, could not believe he was 12 years old, he was already 6ft at that age.

[@meitoli]

Hi Patrick. As always amazing video. I have a weird forehand. My starting grip position is bevel 3 but I hit the ball with my hand and wrist on the opposite side. Like I hit the ball with an eight bevel. What should I do? When I have time to prepare myself I can hit the ball very hard but I need a lot of time to do this

[@subhashnitave7575]

Excellent couching!

[@donatellagizzarelli4506]

Where is the chair?? 😮😮

[@surajl89]

Sir, I have been trying your teachings of letting the hand go, let the wrist go to get a complete balance of power and spin. I see a huge difference in quality, speed and spin. Thank you for that. One question: I am trying to hold the racket as close as possible to the bottom of the handle while I used to hold it a bit inside earlier. But while trying to hold it close to the bottom, I tend to hold the racquet only with the bottom three fingers and sometimes shank the ball. I wanted to know if we have to ensure that the pad of the palm right under the index finger should also rest comfortably on the racquet and we ensure there is no gap with that for stability. Somehow, I don't feel that if I hold the racquet a bit inside. I use the Eastern grip as I find it more comfortable but find this problem in that grip. I don't face this problem in the semi-western grip which also I have tried but I somehow don't feel very comfortable in hitting through the ball. Also, I find it more time-consuming and difficult to change the grip to my 1-handed backhand as the game gets faster. What would you suggest?

[@mohammedrachid556]

Wow, long sentence.

[@georgepush4243]

Should I always start uncoiling first before hand goes forward with the racket or both (uncoil+hand) comes together? I know my hand should be relaxed (to get wrist lag as well) but still looking for correct grip power/timing because sometimes my hand starts going forward sooner than my trunk and breaking kinetic chain.

[@BassByTheBay]

The criticisms of some people here imply that they don't understand the context. Patrick does not coach beginners; he coaches players who are already exceptional but looking for the kind of micro-adjustments that make the difference between being a top 100 player and being a top 10 player. And this is just one step in a process. Patrick is focusing on just a couple of concepts so that his student doesn't have to think about a bunch of new things at once. Yes, the kid's forehand was already very good, but Patrick is giving him the tools to be both consistently good and _efficiently_ good. These are some of the steps toward making a good player into a champion... which Patrick knows more than a little something about.

[@neesa7671]

[@allboutthemojo]

Good drill but how do you swing loose and fast when the ball is high ( heavy spin) ? It's not difficult to do to strike range balls

[@bracksza]

Have to take it early on the rise (tricky shot)

[@allboutthemojo]

@@bracksza yep know that in theory but need to see some good drills for it. So far most institutions are to easy dead ball feeds

[@bracksza]

@@allboutthemojo needs a slinger or ball machine imo. That way you can set pace and angle of the ball

[@goggleboy2464]

Make your balance forward as you swing and start your swing early enough to contact the ball in front.

[@vidarlaufey]

Curve the ball... Trust you hand..... Hmmmmm. Sorry to say but I don't see what is so exceptional in his advice. The student already has a fluid motion and a loose wrist on his forehand, but just need to include his lower body more in the build up and his footwork and preparation needs to be improved. Especially on his backhand which is just a slap with his arm.

[@HolyChicken1]

That's not 13 bro ☠

[@OscarEggen]

With all due respect, Mark's forhand is precise and powerful. His wrist is loose during the swing and his rhythm and acceleration are top notch. The only tip I would give him is to get a little more support out of the legs.That is missing especially in the drill to add more spin. Mark stands completely straight during that drill. Just saying there's more power doesn't mean there's more power! For me there is no transformation in 13 minutes!
