At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="561">9:21</a>, we can all appreciate a wild Shamir in its natural habitat, what a gorgeous view

[@rodrigomartindelcampo9534]

Great Shamir-spotting 😂😂

[@robdavies4294]

Is that fed, no wait, nadal, no better, Shamir!

[@1114gabby]

First I REALLY appreciate Emma putting herself out there for us to watch her work on the serve. I can relate to the struggle. Secondly Nick is one of the top guys putting out tennis content. He is an excellent coach at all levels. Wish I had him as a coach when I was young.

[@HPontara1]

All the best to Ema! Hope she does even better!

She’s to old for wta

[@AC-be5gu]

Sheesh anytime I’m not comfortable with my serve I think to Niks progressions he did for the “re calibration” and ask myself when was the last time I’ve actually carved out time to focus on them and hit from the inner service line. Great stuff.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Got to put in the work 🔥🔥

[@bbb12345]

Lots of tips right there. Thank you so much.

[@milanvincic9668]

Way to go Ema. Fingers crossed🤞 Nick is simply nailing it with the right words and the coaching expertise. Pleasure watching and listening to it💕🫶

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Milan 🙏

[@Alejo.Martinez]

I live in Bogotá. Maybe that is the reason why I double fault so often 😅. Love your content

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you 🙏(altitude is tough but spin helps)

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

This is soooo great! I’ve had the same issues and this helps me a lot! Thanks so much. In practice yesterday, I hit over ten aces and barely hit a double fault. But in tournament matches, that confidence can disappear and that fear of trying to get the second serve in creeps in…I’ll follow your advice and do those drills today. I like to believe that what I do in practice, I can do in a real match. It’s all mental! But having specific things to do during those freak outs is so helpful! This was like a private lesson with you…but for free. Much appreciated 🙏🎾🏆

Shamir warming up in the background while Ema is grinding is some top notch intuitive tennis content.

I like that warmup she does w/ the bands.

[@TennisNeedsMore]

Top stuff Nikola 🎉

[@knotwilg3596]

At the recreational level, my advice for a double fault crisis is kick serve all the time. That way you can adjust immediately after a first kick gone wrong. You get into a rhythm twice as fast. I don't know much about pro level but if she double faults 24 times in a match, I would sacrifice my 1st serve right away to regain confidence in the 2nd

[@aledmorgan4889]

I'm nowhere near as good as Ema but that's exactly what I've done this year. Every practice or social match iv served only with a kick serve just to get the practice in. Now when playing league matches I only double fault once or twice a set.

[@sjc5255]

Great lesson! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="495">8:15</a> Then what if my kick serve mostly goes into the net? Guide it more towards the opponent i.e. add more forward movement?

[@deepseadiver8191]

Nik, you look like a French Open umpire with that head cam lol

[@IntuitiveTennis]

😂👍

[@petrtamler4484]

I believe that with kick serve, one shoud go and open 45 deprese , meaning you follow and open towards right fence, and has to be thorough relaxed racket drop?

[@crunchtimeeats347]

All the best to Ema on the return to WTA journey. For the serve, just a thought. Maybe I’m wrong but it looks like she does not have much torso rotation during the coil, so even with a little uncoiling she’s already opened up with most of the body facing the net. Hard to throw the racket to the right with the hip and shoulders already facing the net.

[@Ockv74]

❤❤❤

[@lungchan1729]

That's great coaching. I usually only see coach feeds ball never explaining and demonstrating. I'm talking those improvised coach at the tennis courts.

[@Hentz3]

Could anyone explain what exercise she's doing in the beginnng? What's the purpose of doing that with elastic bands? Warm up?

[@deepseadiver8191]

Nik, do you have any videos with advices on how to serve in windy conditions? Today it was so windy and while serving I hit a home run: framed the second serve and the ball left the park…. So embarrassing and an instant confidence killer. At least this time it could be blamed on the wind. Thanks!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I have a video with Shamir where we talk about playing in wind kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLLeHmFbrNlgc0si=UOSjV4sG23DhFsTP I will make a how to serve in the wind video…

[@GGGinJe]

Sheesh, on your last video the court was ruined with pickleball lines, now this one has a double whammy and looks like a jigsaw puzzle. A true a mess to look at.

[@alastairtheduke]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="23">0:23</a> Nick or Emma, what is Emma doing here in the beginning. I know she's warming up, but what do these sumo walks help with? Glute activation?

[@alexlackner1945]

Medial glutes and external hip rotators. Important for keeping the joints of the lower extremities aligned and protecting your knees. Often a weakness in women especially .

[@leandronicolas8848]

@@alexlackner1945 is it for warming up? For stretching? Can you work these "Medial glutes and external hip rotators" without the strechy bands? I'm very interested in anything that helps you protect the knees. Thanks for the info.

[@davidperman7517]

@@leandronicolas8848wall squats are a good one. Side lying leg raises are good too.

[@davidperman7517]

@@leandronicolas8848bands are good after dynamic movement.

[@alexlackner1945]

@@leandronicolas8848maybe it's done as a warmup here, but it's a strengthening exercise really.. yes you can work these muscles with certain machines in the gym (abductor in seated position) or even with your own body weight lying sideways (clamshell exercise) but the resistance bands enable you to do them functionally, just as they are used in tennis, with the entire body weight on the lower extremities. But i recommend seeing a PT if you have knee problems, there are many different knee problems and many different reasons for it.

[@ArthurVerhulst]

Nick, very useful tip! But don't say spin when you mean kick. After all, slice is spin too.

[@zetristan4525]

Shouldn't you be speaking "to the heart" in Bosnian-Croatian for real feeling of confidence?!

[@GRBomber]

I can barely hear what Ema is saying.

[@bbb12345]

try to volume up.

[@hansolsson3409]

Use subtitles.

[@megowopwop8545]

her problem is so obvious. Her body is facing the court too much at contact. She needs to get her chest facing up to the sky more, by leaning further back. This will help the more upward swing path. and delete those double faults. ps. imagine the butt of your racket aiming up at the sky as well this will really give you that kick serve.

[@megowopwop8545]

Just watched her serve again, she literally doesn't lean back at all!! so upright, go watch tommy paul Kick serve slow mo. That's how you do it.
