I Played With Daniil Medvedev Every Day for a Week!

[@TheRob2D]

Daniil reminds me of the old players from the 70's and 80's. He has a style all his own. I think kids are coached too much these days and anything unique they might have is coached out of them. But Daniil is living proof that even in modern tennis, it is better to let a player be themselves.

[@pzh1]

True, the game is all too uniform

[@willydasquid1615]

Definitely agree, for example numerous coaches would’ve told Alcaraz to stop trying his drop shots because they were low percentage shots from that far away. Now he has one of the best weapons in the game.

[@-Munditimum-]

Man, you pulled this thought right out of my mind! Well said my friend! 👍🙌🙂

[@theboujeelife9837]

And Nick Kyrios doesn't even have a coach lol

[@gladiatorstribe]

I don't know if that is actually the case. Even though I am guessing that, I didn't talk to him about it. I do agree with you on what you've said, for sure!

[@gavlatennis2824]

This is the BEST 'behind the scenes' tennis video I've ever seen on KZbin! Amazing hitting footage, that 360 camera is amazing in terms of field of view, and Medevedev seems like a top guy!

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you so much! Means a lot to know you thought that! He absolutely is!!

[@germanslice]

@@gladiatorstribe Danil hits the ball very flat and low through the court with alot of pace. This is how I like to hit the ball.

@@gladiatorstribe which camera you use ?

[@cybernetennis]

There is an old book called "the inner game of tennis," this video really tickles that curiosity for the walled garden of professional tennis practice etiquette that derives from the gentlemen's/lady's sport that it is. This truly is the inner game of tennis.

[@ГеоргиЯнков-о8ж]

Woah, getting a call back from someone like Med must feel awesome. Congrats! Daniil is just so calm and casual during these warm-ups, it really shows how much pressure the top guys are under when performing in front of thousands of people with millions of dollars on the line . But also how cool was seeing two top players sharing the practice court, I suppose it happens a lot. There's a lot less animosity between the players than the fans like to imagine and Medvedev seems like a guy you'd have fun hanging out with on a Saturday night.

[@gladiatorstribe]

It really is!! You're right, everyone is quite friendly hahahahah Yeap they gotta be good at handling pressure!

[@NorfolkEnchants]

@@anemicroyalty8764 Alcaraz is untouchable at the moment. I love Daniil but try not to be too downhearted, he's won 3 titles in a row and reached 4 finals in a row which is pretty incredible. PLUS to do it at Indian Wells, a tournament he is never done well at is pretty amazing. I was very disappointed at his level in the final but like I said, it's a mix of Alcaraz being untouchable and Daniil probably being pretty fatigued mentally and physically after the run he's been on. No shame in losing to Carlos at all though.
