Incredible Courtside Match! Daniil Medvedev vs Denis Shapovalov - 2022 Western & Southern Open

[@hwoarang2001]

I’m ticked that there were not more people watching. These players deserve our support as our cheers and jeers make them play with more vigor.

[@divinespark4842]

Immaculate footage and great angle. It makes you realise just how hard they are hitting the ball and how accurately; just fizzing it low over the net.

[@alexbakuta7375]

Shapo is fun to watch. Always hitting hard with amazing one hander...but consistency is key vs top 10 players.

[@purplefishies]

It''s his forehand that fails him over and over again.

[@MTechnikM]

this sums up him as a player, looks so great and well-rounded but then you look at the score and hes down by a lot...

[@KorJpn]

Really nice video angle. Appreciate for the video. Really feels like you are watching the match at courtside.

[@cat32orhat23]

Wow, I've only watched your videos on mobile efore. This is incredible on a bigger screen.

[@seizethedayandlive]

Fantastic angle; thx for posting

[@alexsokolov330]

Спасибо за съёмку матча с такой позиции. Браво.

[@ajfuentes3376]

Best angle and quality I've ever seen.

[@michaelp9061]

Absolutely insane angle.

[@edwardhudson815]

why isnt all tennis shot like this it just seems better in every way

[@divinespark4842]

The clarity in this footage is incredible. The best I've ever seen. This angle shows how consistently hard and low both players were hitting the ball over the net. Shapo has a very fluid style that's easy on the eye, while Meddy's style seems more erratic, though still very effective and accurate. It seemed to me that Med was hitting most of his forehands with a lot of topspin during the rallies. Was he?

[@sebastiankissling2248]

I love this! Awesome angle and quality

[@전홍재-c1o]

Amazing!

[@Purallax]

2:45 the voice crack grunt 😂

[@Esprits4s]

Thank you for this!!

[@Tennis_practice]

great view to watch

[@connorwb93]

What happened at the point starting at 14:10? Wasn't Medvedev's shot in? Why not hit it?

[@aidantran3224]

the shot that shapov hit prior was out

[@IronChefPeter]

Medvedev has the type ofgame only a mother could love

[@bobertrobertson130]

tennis would be more popular if it were televised at this angle

[@levelsetgo5331]

Starting to see why Shapo can't get the results he wants: there's no real strategy. Hits a lot of quality shots, some neutral, some hard, but nothing to really set him up in a winning position. Kinda stuck between offense and defense.

[@Mavert83]

Story of shapos life - I like his hitting but tennis is strategy, the not fun part of tennis

[@terrfan]

What racquet is shapo using here? Is it a paint job of his usual Vcore or something else

[@weixiangwong2227]

based on the shape of the frame (particularly the throat) i think it's an ezone. could be wrong though

[@andrehanderson]

Medvedev has such an unorthodox style, but I love it.

[@michaelblair1582]

17:30 this should have been Shapovalov's point, Med fed the second ball back before the rally ball had landed out of play

[@connorpen]

Yeah I noticed that too, but I think the rally ball landed a split second before the second ball. Still technically hinderance or a let, but the umpire should definitely never call that lol

[@johncharles2357]

@@connorpen It doesn't matter which ball landed first. What matters is that he threw a ball into the field of play before the live ball was out.

[@ゴプ-r8q]

This video angle is the best 😂

Super👏👍

[@guillermorodriguez7168]

Tennis tan bonito! lo hacen ver facil.

[@wc3415]

Thats hindrance at 17:29, ball was still live

[@jorgejuancervantes66]

❤❤❤

[@robinsoncruise2228]

I was sure it was practice until 6th minute, cuz its not full, but shapo celebration made me question it

[@ToiletTennis]

Really shows how tall Meddy is :O

[@MikeB-1965]

The woman who's voice is heard cheering for Medvedev keeps cheering unforced errors by Denis. Totally classless.

[@audemarspiguet4237]

Yeah fully agree. Her voice was so penetrating and irritating too

[@edwardhudson815]

​@@audemarspiguet4237 exactly I hate those nasally voice people

[@33Gnosis]

Russian. not surprised.

[@jacksonhilley7429]

Not really unforced errors make up most of points. The only thing *classless* Is your understanding of tennis.

[@zzzcatherine]

@@jacksonhilley7429 Then don’t cheer. Sounds like you’re one who doesn’t even play tennis.

[@poten.nis0409]

animation is so real!! LOL

[@MrOffereins]

Ik snap de frustratie van de tegenstanders van Daniil Medvedev wel. Hij dwingt z'n tegenstanders tot het spelen van drobshots of het spelen van Serv-volley. Dat doen ze omdat Daniil zover achter de baseline staat te retourneren. De ruimte vlak achter het net gebruiken, of het spelen op een veel sneller tempo (serv-volley) ligt dan voor de hand. Maar de spelers zijn niet gespecialiseerd op dat gebied, terwijl Daniil wel gespecialiseerd is op het verwerken ervan. Wie denk je gaat er winnen? De enige die dat eigenlijk kan omdat het ook tot zijn gebied van expertise ligt, is Alcaraz. En dan met name gebruikmakend van de drobshot maar ook wel het spelen van service-volley.

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

There’s a whole generation of players like Shapo who were just too in love with Nadal’s topspin. Shapo hits with topspin but his problem is that his ball doesn’t jump enough or get high enough to be a problem. Combine that with guys getting taller and taller I see why he has stagnated.

[@n.s.3410]

Also, it takes him some extra time to recover from each (forehand) heavy topspin shot that he hits, since he's throwing so much of his body into it. ..and this without really reaping the rewards of the giant bounce and spin-off that Rafa gets. I bet we see him economize his follow-through and recovery as he grows. I hope so because he's incredibly gifted.

[@jjns5600]

Standard top spin forehand of today's game on hard courts actually, nothing new. Rafa's topspin and other players with heavy spin are also more a damaging factor on clay, not hard, hence Rafa's overwhelming dominance on clay. The intention of the heavy spin on asphalt courts is both for creating time and depth, once the ball bounces, enabling a player to physically recover during hard points (& resetting the point to impose one's game), or to defend against an opponent's penetrating (velocity) ball, which makes a defensive response, an offensive one. Standard strategy in professional tennis.

[@dillydallyyyy]

@@jjns5600 yeah idk what the guy is talking about, people think Federer hits flat but have no idea how much top spin his average ball has. It's normal for players to use that much spin, Nadal is just different.

[@timmayotte1645]

Somebody needs to teach DS how to volley.

[@edwardhudson815]

shapo just doesnt have the deliberate placement a lot of the time that medvedev has

[@lovemoon9803]

Meddy's play isn't ugly courtside...

[@hiephoihoalanvietnam]

Sống ỏ trên đời, đứng bao giờ đánh giá quá cao người khác. ky tên HPG😋 ... 5 52

[@wittick1]

2 of the best in the world and the place is half empty

[@jamesh8654]

Shapo needs a strategy coach- The best game around, now he needs to play his partners not the damn point

[@stefano78]

I love Shapo's game but if you watch for a few minutes you immediately see how he routinely makes bad decisions on the court. It's his shotmaking and movement that keep him in the match. Also, his constant fistpumping whenever he wins a point is just immature. At 5:41, he wins a long point from an error by Med and he is waving his hand to the crowd for a cheer (off your opponent's error?). He fought hard but c'mon, dude.

[@audemarspiguet4237]

I think he celebrated because he broke on Danil’s serve

[@boriskostic6964]

Why is there always a girl screaming in the backround

[@gamingbtc]

Almost looks like a videogame for some reason. Colors so vibrant and the crowd is so fake.

[@ptso]

I assure you this is real haha. The stands look empty since I was facing the reserved seating section and many left after the long match before this one…I hate the fake video game highlights as much as anyone!

[@shpooko]

6:02 mickey mouse

[@saccount8009]

Shapos forehand drop shots going way too high

[@Tetsuya-Asakura-the-fire-dance]

So lucky Medvedev didn’t kick the camera.

[@janicenicholls5924]

I wish he would get a better coach who would understand what he needs to do better on the court, he knows what he needs to do but needs help. What a shame to see his talent wasted.

[@orik9107]

17:30 how is that allowed. Ball is not dead and medvedev puts another ball in court.

[@federico6126]

Pareciera que uno esta adentro de una pileta, inclusive hasta el olor a cloro se me viene a la mente.
