I Asked A Tennis Pro To Train With Me (Almost Didn’t Make It...)

[@gabrielaknutson1813]

Thank you for the support everyone! This video was so much fun to make and Noah was such a good sport. 💪🏻

[@laurent9752]

Cool video. What's do you think is missing right now to break the top 100? Is it something you pursuing?

[@inarssinicins1470]

Hello, Gabriela, hello Noah! Great job, of course. My question for you: What is the name of the ball I see in your training video at 3:20 minute. Can I buy it in Europe? I want one for my granddaughter for warm-up training :)

[@MajklAstarin]

Ahoj Gabi, just wanted to say you’re doing an awesome job! I’m a fan from the Czech Republic and have been following you for a while now. I’m so proud you decided to play for us-your journey is seriously inspiring. Pojď!

[@googlereviewer1944]

Great video!

I just pulled a muscle reading the routine 😫

Appreciate the breakdown. For the off court fitness is there any direction in terms of how many reps/set per exercise?

I'm waiting for your "it's time to talk about Jack Draper" video.

[@dougsmith5920]

You did a great job! It takes a lot of guts putting your body through strenuous training. Very few will know physical training beyond the point of exhaustion. Also give yourself positive affirmations. All the best! PS: 🤘

[@Courtside_Tennis]

Thank you!! Appreciate the support :)

[@iNovak_ñ]

Very good job! Also this video was a nice breath of fresh air. Keep it up, your dedication is contagious

[@Courtside_Tennis]

More to come, I’ve been training for the past few months since we shot this!

[@iNovak_ñ]

@Courtside_Tennis Cannot wait! Next one will surely be even better

[@average-chess-enjoyer]

​@@Courtside_TennisDid you do this same training these past months or a less exhausting version? Would be cool to see some progress.

[@jellyg0d]

Noah probably had the best night’s sleep ever after that day 😄 Awesome video and such a fun change from your usual great and informative content 🔥

[@Courtside_Tennis]

Oh I did for real 😂

Great video. Super original and entertaining.

Great content man! You really put yourself on the line for this!!!!

[@rolfw2336]

Noah and Gabriella, thanks for sharing the inside view of training! It definitely looked brutal, although entertaining too. I imagine if you did this routine every week, you’d eventually get it.

Thanks man!

Really great. New to tennis. Learning. Picking up interesting information as I go along.

[@tylervalentine4716]

Very nicely done! Do you have a link that I could see the workout you guys did? Not that I’d be able to do it any better of course…

[@BigGTennis]

Should do more with Gabriela, she's awesome :)

Love this type of video!

Brother was cooked, scorched and fried all in one video. Good job on this, sir. Great video.

So much drama, but i fully share the feelings about such challenging sessions! Great effort!

Thank u i will stay recreational where theres minimal stretching just hitting

[@shakirm2807]

If someone shared the workout names of complete circuit then it would be great. Nice video.

nice video bro, hope to see more of this

More to come!

That looks exhausting. More content like this!

[@Courtside_Tennis]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@bigrobsydney]

Thing is, almost ANY exercise becomes easy if you do it enough. For someone who is just coming into it for the first time, its very normal that it may seem difficult.

[@FastFitSecrets]

amazing workout

[@propgee]

To do all that leg work and not split step is criminal

[@pooolish334]

Can we get a "It's time to talk about myself" video 🙏

[@emmanuelokosun7624]

😂😂😂

[@kennethshih]

After watching this video it says to me that Noah and many of us should be in significantly better shape which will do wonders for our game. Noah gave great effort but given his current level of conditioning he was really dropped into the deep end with Gabi's workout.

[@Courtside_Tennis]

For sure, gives you that much more insight and respect on what the pros go through each day

[@RCShufty]

Yeah, this checks out.

[@Strangerer69]

14:15 Did he just try to quote Dave Potnoy?

[@MarchalisVan]

... I mean get your muscles warmed up, do some squats and some light shuttle runs and assorted shuffles and arm warm ups. but playing the tennis at 100% is really the workout for tennis lol. how to warm up for serve?, stretch the arm do some slow serves.. I guess if you only get the court for 1 hour you will have to get to other fitness shenanigans.

[@gabrielaknutson1813]

This is my daily routine mate, I very rarely practice tennis at 100%

Hey will there be a coco video soon?

I want to take lessons from her. So she can work me out !!

[@squirrelprooffeeder]

go Longhorns!

[@francisfajardo6055]

In a lot of balls you are hitting the ball lately. If you're tired, needs to be prepared early

[@Courtside_Tennis]

You're so right... hardest thing about coming back after not playing for a few years is getting the timing back. I've been working with my coach on this!

[@gabrielesantucci6189]

​@@Courtside_TennisGetting back to playing tennis well, after you've stopped for a few years or months, is tough. You still have all the shots in your mind but your body has forgotten everything! 😂😂😂

[@JordanjamesX]

How tall is Noah he looks like over six feet? He is handsome.

[@lanlam879]

While I admire you for doing this, it seems unwise to push yourself as a pro player does. How long did it take you to recover from that session?

[@Courtside_Tennis]

Haha thanks for the concern! I was pretty sore for about a day after, but was good to go after that

[@whyaminoob]

Guys i'm not sure if his legs are cooked

who is the girl?

[@quentincrisp6933]

In all fairness you simply aren't in tennis shape. If you were an avid player you would weigh 10 lbs. less than what you are in my estimation. You look to be 185/190lbs. and in good shape just not tennis shape!

[@Courtside_Tennis]

So true, good general conditioning is so different than being in tennis shape. I’ve been working out for tennis for the past few months though!
