Thank you V!! I noticed my game get better and better since watching your videos. I don't usually focus on footwork much but I think this will definitely give me an edge over the guys I usually hit with :)

[@rameeen222]

This video is so so helpful for someone like me who has just started playing tennis!! Especially since it's advice from such an inspiring tennis player, Thank you Venus!! 💗💗

[@thitran9637]

"You win with your feet! ”. 👍 Thank you very much for teaching and sharing. I also noticed that when you move, you use balls/front of your feet and not flat feet. I need to work on that too.

[@LeskeyC001]

Hey, V! Great drills. I can’t wait to try these tomorrow morning. In all my years on the courts, I never grasped the importance of these small steps until you opened my eyes. Thank you so much, Coach!

[@carlbenson6412]

Hey Venus, hang your head up high...you've achieved legendary status & once you get your groove back on the court you'll start winning...hang in there. Go out on your own terms, when you're ready after a big win that no one expects.

[@akizaizinskii]

She needs therapy so that she can learn to move on from tennis and stop stealing wildcards from younger and more deserving players. Nobody wants to see a geriatric player 15 years past their prime get dragged on center court by a journeywoman like Minen.

[@giuseppetripodi2299]

Great video Venus , the movement is still there and after all this years on court you are showing what your dad and your expectations has giving to you to show the grace on court. Please don’t stop ,looking forward to more video

[@LazerHs]

Wow! It’s my first time learning the right foot back, and left foot back as you hit the ball, to turn defense into offense on deep balls! I just tried them right now at home and wow I feel really balanced 😂. Very excited to try it on the courts 🙂

[@Tennis24_7]

Thank you V❤W for helping tennis players, coaches, perents of the world 🌎 good to see you on court again 😊

[@blanelltallur1]

hi there VENUS, really love and enjoy all of your tennis tutorials. they're all very informative. Please post a tennis tutorial on how to serve and volley at the net. Best of Luck at the US Open next week! Much Love! ❤

[@mauriciodenardipeterlevitz3694]

Oh boy , I wish I could take lessons like this in the 70 's . I would be a much better player today 😁

[@deanban]

They say great players aren't great teachers. You are probably the only exception! Can't wait to try it out on the court! Thanks Venus!

[@skewbgamer6989]

Thanks this helps a lot

[@scubashar]

Whenever I have a question about tennis it seems Venus already knows! Two days later she releases a video with the answer. 🥰

[@VenusWilliams]

Love that!

[@timonty457]

Honestly the footwork is a very serious topic in terms of playing. I noticed how many balls I would miss if I had the work footwork wrong. Thank you for the video!

[@MaryseQuenum-qh4cc]

Hi Vee you still beating the top in the game, never doubted. Praying you stay healthy and keep enjoying what you love doing. Eh bring the serve volley back like you used to so to conserve your energy. Thank you for bringing joy to us ❤😘

[@whatever3041]

Your outfits keep getting better, absolutely gorgeous!

[@Asteroid147]

I definitely feel the difference whenever I actually move my feet a lot than if I don't. Same with split step. I hadn't realized or heard about that footwork pattern for hitting balls that land deep in the court. Definitely going to practice that! Awesome tip, thanks!

[@nplnpl3]

Great video Venus! I especially liked you teaching both the Richard William’s method & the “other” way to handle tough balls. Keep the videos coming.

[@skewbgamer6989]

Keep up the great videos they have really improved my tennis game

[@sergio.canzoneri]

Love these videos! ❤ Good luck and enjoy your US Open, Queen Vee 👑

[@saoirsekennelly7732]

I'd love to see a video of a gym/ weight workout you should do to help improve your tennis game.

[@djherlockandfriends9973]

Good luck at the US Open. Rooting for you!!

[@VenusWilliams]

Thank you!!

[@Yaio.e]

I just wanted to say heading into us open. You're match against kudermetova you were so composed, focused, great defense, and heavy offense. You make this girls rethink there tennis i love it.

[@PeterFreemantennis]

looking good Venus!!! Love it...best of luck in New York...you are so inspiring

[@VenusWilliams]

thank you so much

[@sonnyyombo2230]

You don't have to, but you gave your time for others to improve. Well done and thank you ❤

[@MrIvanbrewer]

great video and opportunity to see the coaching from such a legend! interesting to see that in the forehand drill, Venus shows small steps and neutral stance and then say “in a match it would look like this”, and here we see her real muscle memory where she goes with the most efficient big steps to arrive to location and hit forehand with the open stance:) her match muscle memory shows the true drill how it should be done!

[@ucNguyen-oc8lx]

I have been watching youtube about how to play tennis for 10 years but have never seen a top 1 pro teaching technique like you, it is an honor for us, sincerely thank you. Hope you release a video about volley soon. love you.

[@Rois300]

You're in terrific shape! Thanks for all the footwork drills. I especially like your "get back, swing, and turn the hips" one, as I find myself swinging up like Rafa except I nearly hit my head every time 😅

[@tesladiesel2420]

At 5:10 is when you realize, “she ain’t just another KZbinr”… (but an actual pro!!!) 7:55 an absolute bonus 😳 😜😜😜😜 The real deal wow!! Edit: okay, I just finished watching the entire video: it’s an absolute MasterClass !! Especially the drills for “absorbing” deep balls and turning them to offensive shots! It’s raining here in Boca but my kid wants to go and try this one out asap…! 😊😊😊 Thank you!

[@TennisOnAction]

Short and best explanation so lucky we here to learn from Venus.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Best of luck at the US Open Venus ❤

[@crsantin]

Great drills to wake up those feet. Us rec players have notoriously sleepy feet. Get those puppies moving! These drills really help with fitness, which is the first thing that goes for me. Which Wilson racquet are you using these days?

[@MiNeroblu]

I love it. Thank you!

[@ellierose6]

Oooh good tutorial!

[@liamdaddyoohofficial8661]

❤ thanks again for a nice tips 🎉

[@tenniswilliam]

I have a question / request about split step especially in approaching the net for volleys. Do you have drills on split step when coming in? If i hit a good shot to the corner i often forget to follow the ball in or if i do i am too late on split step or do not do it all all resulting in missed volleys.

[@user-ve6xh8dn6s]

Thank you

[@thecleegroup]

I love the video for advanced players, Venus! Please keep those coming

[@sunubishwokarma1002]

Thank you, Venus, for the great footwork tips.

[@CarlosRodriguez-mp8jp]

Thanks a lot

[@qwiickk]

Seems like your method of turning your hips both at the same time will give you more momentum and more power.

[@federicotown8052]

Nice !

[@dorismosley5892]

Thanks V for sharing your expertise and knowledge. You are AMAZING ❤

[@MirzamMuhammad]

thank you Ve

[@secretbowman2151]

Great video Venus, I think this was one of my questions! The footwork drills are almost like dancing!

[@anahatsharma8585]

All the best for US open Venus. May you give your best 😊

[@K4R3N]

Oh wow, that defensive step-back pattern is interesting. Always had issues with this situation. Thank you!

[@shelleyshell1150]

Superb! Those are great cardio exercise moves even if you don’t play tennis 😊

[@JudithDuval]

Also, more footwork drills would be great for sure!

[@avisdhir]

Venus is adorable! And the lessons rock.

[@itzsansa]

it is very nice of Venus to make videos on KZbin to teach us who to improve in tennis 🎾:)

[@yogeshpawar9683]

Hey Venus ) you are doing amazing work , it will definitely help in becoming of tennis champion for someone who is far from good coaching classes living in countryside ❤ love from India 🇮🇳

[@pepebcn81]

Great video Venus! Many thanks :) I will do the drill with my daughter Emma

[@dogs.and.tennis]

Thank you. This is probably the best lesson on footwork I've ever watched on YT. We are so thankful to get tennis lessons from a Professional.

[@swaynno]

That's an amazing lesson..wow. Makes tennis a great game w the foot work. Impressive, thank you !

[@klaotae]

Excellent drills I am gonna try in my class today ! Let see how it goes!

[@harryharrison4749]

Super useful video 👍 these are the types of video that are hard to find on you tube - lots covering technique of all the shots but very few useful ones on footwork - particularly straight forward drills like these that you can do at home. More of these would be super welcome 😊

[@lifeisbutadream70]

Love this ! Simple, yet effective 😃Thanks Venus!

[@VenusWilliams]

Glad you like it!

[@sebastiandelosrios9340]

Leg work! Its all about it!!!

V! I’m going to go see you play today at Arthur Ashe stadium! I’m so excited! I’ll be rooting for you!

[@joyceharris3040]

First, I have to say that I have always loved your fighting spirit as a person and tennis player. I have been working on my movement on the court. These were great drills for getting faster feet. Yes, the balls are scary for me, so I will use cones. Great instruction!!!!!

[@doyandrum]

Glad to watch a comprehensive tutorial video from a legend. Thank you, Venus!

[@VenusWilliams]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for these tutorials! My husband and I just bought our first rackets a few days ago and have been hitting the courts ever since. We’ve been having so much fun, but I’m trying to get to even just a beginner level. Lol. These videos are extremely informing and enlightening.

[@VenusWilliams]

Good luck!!
