How to hit the ball with perfect timing in tennis

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

What’s one tip from the video that you think will make the biggest difference in your timing?

[@graphguy]

Footwork- preparation

[@Edouard7800]

going forward after the bounce

[@kwallin8136]

Prepare backswing earlier. My biggest forehand problem

[@SarahatAccentEquip]

Staying with the ball! I always get nervous and back off which makes the ball fly even more.

[@basskicking4532]

The early preparation and the follow through with the back foot/leg. I know I just said 2 things instead of one lol! you are an incredible coach!!! I hope I can share how much difference your videos have made in my playing abilities. I tape 90% of my practices and games with my friends who said that I am progressing at a faster rate. I just started playing Tennis about 1.5 month ago and they hated me because I mess up so much, but now, I am putting up decent fights even if I lose BIG time 🤣

[@coachtripleb5121]

Pure master class. Merci Beaucoup

[@rockydopeydoge6730]

Wonderful free-hitting!

[@jasonshone2070]

Despite the coaching, she hit the ball the same way without making any changes. Didn’t set up early as coach emphasized. But her serve was very natural and potent.

[@basskicking4532]

I agree with that. It's hard to break the bad habits. She will get there. If not, we (watching this) will take those tips and advice to heart lol!

[@drejtoman2974]

Correct. Also not that balanced. No wide base set up and head moves a lot . So will miss.

[@cks2020693]

she needs to play with players who hit faster and deeper, her habits are from playing players that just put balls back in the court with nothing on it; but that will come with time as she gets older and play against stronger players

[@martinezdirce9225]

Please; people , it isn’t so easy … just take the advice!

[@andyh6351]

Agree - also has a very loopy and untidy backswing - she'd be better working on that in the first instance

[@martinezdirce9225]

Thank you!!

[@Shaunsweeney-Kubach71]

Her back swing is huge and if that works for her great but in windy conditions I would see her having a problem!

[@GaDoTeca]

Question. When you say 'accelerate the hand,' does it mean I should actively speed up my hand movement, or does it mean the hand will naturally accelerate by itself if I keep my wrist loose?

[@Edouard7800]

he means i think that you should accelerate by itself with wrist loose the way you would throw your racket while tilting

[@oooodaxteroooo]

25:00 "is it risky?" "i always wear protective underwear." ;)

[@grindPracticeBLESSED]

When do you teach her to keep her eye on the ball until it makes contact?

[@user-up3yi4mu6p]

She hits her forehands with a ball that stays very close to the body (very visible at normal speed, but even more so in slowmotion), which made her play with a very bent arm. In my opinion, there is a problem with focusing the distance to the ball. With an arm so tight to the body, it is very difficult to play in power. What do you think?

[@paulmoon9380]

That is not my impression... for me distance between body and the ball at the contact is good. But I would say that sometimes her upper body is too much backward, example at [16:26]

[@sn1kzZe]

Patrick is a diehard high ball topspin kind of guy, if you take a guy like rublev and tell him to spin that high there's no chance he will stay with you as a coach. Some coaches like slicing, some high spin, if you feel uncomfortable with the playstyle your coach is trying to instill in you, don't force it.

[@callummurphy4671]

Yeah I think on hard or grass you have to hit flatter, with how hard everyone hits the ball now if you hit too loopy with too much spin you'll just get run around the court

[@federicotown8052]

Great !

[@666cuk]

Prepare, then run. Not other way round

[@muchsinagani]

Saat ini Bali lebih terkanal, dengan kemajian Timnas, indonesia makin terkenal yg dapat meningkatkan Parawisata, karena banyak sisi lain dari indonesia yg akan kenal dunia, tidak hanya bali

[@CentaurusRelax314]

She moves very much like Steffi Graf. She has an 'extra loop' thingy in the backswing. And still i wish *i* could hit the sweet spot as consistently as she does.

[@love_music2081]

Sad to say her timing hasn’t really changed as a result of this lesson- her swing is also the same

[@NightSlashGaming69]

0:02 bro where tf are u zooming? 💀

[@mrbutterfluff1881]

... the racket.. i didnt even notice anything till u said sum.. ur weird lol

👌🎾💪🏻

[@ShineLove-y3w]

strong girl good job

[@felixb.3455]

Yes her backswing is too bouncy. The racket is moving a lot. To stabilize that part I would like to see her holding her racket with both hands while coiling. That would be amazing. Great talent. And great teacher as well. 😊

[@danstenis660]

Looking more and more like Shapovalov with time.

[@canchero724]

Not the best role model to emulate there 💀

[@rsh8057]

she's a very good player but it seems like she still does a take back and then another move back. It looks like a hitch. But amazing control. I don't think Patrick would have trusted her otherwise to stand in the middle of the box and tell her to hit the ball over his head!

[@gianlucacespites453]

Brava ma spesso chiude troppo presto il finale.... le va bene sull' incrociato stretto, ma meno sul lungo linea profondo

[@watcher687]

She needs to watch Leyla Fernandez instead to make that huge backswing smaller.

[@motomalarkey1314]

That backswing is going to limit her game. Her elbow is completely on the inside of her body. No chance to reach a high level with those mechanics.

[@vr6936]

*She does the same before and after the practice session. I cannot see any difference in preparation and timing after the session. Anyway... attractive lady, I would also praise her constantly :o)*

[@endlesssnothing]

You’re creepy

[@FalconSmart]

Why her swing looks strange?

[@koongfu00]

I think her swing is too big and it's part of the problem

[@Emolga6274]

Please Tell that Madison keys and Naomi Osaka who have big swings and made millions of dollars with it

[@koongfu00]

@@Emolga6274 well this is not the case

[@Edouard7800]

what do you mean it looks like normal to me? Would like to knw your thoughts

[@Tommie22x]

@@Emolga6274but those are just two people and two amazing ballstrikers. Most average or even above average players could probably benefit from smaller swings. large swings make adjustments to weird bounces and especially taking the ball on the rise, tremendously difficult

[@greg5892]

Big swings are so elegant. Compact swings have their place, but this is why you prepare. Abbreviating the swing is not a substitute for early prep.

[@johannkriz5138]

So what's the difference at the end of the lesson? Good luck Naomi Osaka! But Patrick can sell himself very well!!!

[@kkarx]

Just tell her to learn modern forehand instead of this useless confusing new gen bs.

[@yuetchuen]

totally wrong
