Jannik Sinner Forehand Lesson - 3 Vital Tennis Tips

[@ttaanguyen2556]

OMG. Out of hundreds of Jannik Sinner forehand video analysis out there, only this one captured the essence of it. Why do I say so? Because it somehow sunk into my head and I tried it on court and holy smoke now my forehand has been transformed from a weakness to almost like a weapon. Before everyone in my club keep hitting to my forehand and wait for me to make error. Now they avoid it like a plague. And it has been only 3 sessions ago that I applied the changes. For me personally it was literally "that game changing breakthrough that you've been missing" as Alex said in the video! To be fair my swing was already fast and compact, but it was very unreliable (60-70% chance of error). After applying these tips, my forehand has more power, spin, and most importantly more reliable (now may be 20-30% chance of error and continuing to improve). Many thanks Alex. You're amazing! (I think this is my first ever youtube comment. I feel obliged to say thank you as I feel so happy)

[@sawyer7191]

He has definitely broken it down well!!

[@troyspoelma]

This is one of the greatest stroke breakdowns I’ve ever seen. Great takeaways and great comparisons all the way through!

[@marvingardens2261]

I’ve played tennis for 40 years and coached for 25…this is a good good video. I agree with everything you just said and somehow use similar language to describe things. Good stuff man🤙

[@dennisfois8414]

Alex - this is fantastic! some very nice nuanced insights in this video that go a level deeper into the kinetic chain without overcomplicating things! The flailing of the racket was something I was doing naturally but told by coaches not to - to focus on a more controlled finish... interesting to see your take on it with Jannik's technique

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes that finish is useful for some players especially ones who are slightly stiffer in the wrist that allows the racquet head to maintain momentum. What was the reason they wanted you to stop it?

[@dennisfois8414]

@ I think there was a feeling that I was a little too loose but to be honest this is probably on of the drawbacks of feedback on video and slo-mo. There is such an emphasis on what the stroke looks like that the context of the actual result gets lost a bit

[@yusufazeem2274]

This changed my game really... Thanks

[@Jazzcodes]

Brilliant video Alex! Very clearly explained and super interesting. Will definitely put it into good use. Thank You!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💪💪

[@divineyogi21]

You are a Great teacher ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

[@opalpearl3051]

I thought I had seen all of the forehand video analysis videos I could take, but this was an amazing video that really puts the spotlight on exactly what Sinner is doing. Great work. I cannot wait to get out on the court to try it.

[@normanashbrooke3345]

Excellent video, Sinner’s forehand is a great model for advanced players. And yet his game will certainly be an inspiration for all players both young and old.

[@bruceashby7384]

Fantastic breakdown of Sinner's movement and use of natural power and momentum, gained from his proper use of the body's kinetic chain. Great explanation once again, bravo, keep up the good work!!

[@PhilippeDeGrom]

Hello Alex, this is my first comment since I watch your videos. In general, your videos are amazing but this one is, for me, the best I have ever seen. I will be playing on next Saterday and I will try your advices, I hope it will help to improve my forehand I am struggelling with since a long time now. Many many thanks for the very good job your are doing with Simon. Sorry for my English that is not my mother tong. Philippe (Belgium)

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Hi Philippe thanks for your message and glad to hear we are helping your game! What do you struggle with on your forehand?

[@PhilippeDeGrom]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Hi Alex and Simon, in fact I am not that confident on my forehand. I would like to be on automatic pilot when I do a forehand as I am on automatic pilot when I play a backhand. For my forehand I am constantly researching the "same good" movement that will give me an advantage on my opponents. I certainly am thinking too much about technique instead of being more tactical. I will try your advices and will let you know asap. Many thanks for all videos you are doing to help us.

[@771ceh]

Ta n k you very much. Excellent demo of great technique. Well done.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for your support! Who’s your favourite player?

[@rossdickinson2541]

So grateful for this, and all your work! World class teaching!

[@sammihoulides2971]

Excellent analysis! However, as a teaching pro for decades, I’m confident most players will end up striking their head with that finish! I do appreciate the looseness!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I think hitting your own head is avoidable if you get the right trajectory so would be interesting to see if that’s a real concern, many juniors use this technique because it allows for a good racquet head momentum without much strength in the arm

[@jamesduffy5019]

@Alex, Legend! Great piece 👍

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Ah appreciate the support! 💪

[@Miguel.Garcia]

Thank you you explained it really well

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thank you very much!

[@macsfarmer]

Great and useful analysis!

[@slawomirsokolowski-d4l]

Since I lack the power in my shots, I'll definetly start imitate that move. I'll see what it brinks to me.

[@jonyjd]

The power its not in the swing. Its in the transfer of the legs. The arms only lets you control the shot. Body and legs put the power.

[@danezu791]

@@jonyjd not really, try to stand still while hitting and you will hit 100 mph forehands without effort

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It should help with both power and accuracy so let us know how it goes!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Well a swing that allows the full racquet head momentum through the shot will also generate power

[@jeffreybartlett4899]

Elbow analysis is helpful!

[@AdrianMorris-g7o]

Thanks will try it out tomorrow

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Enjoy! Let us know how it goes

[@krevin2008]

The best lesson thank you.

Great Analysis !

[@intowndzn1]

Great breakdown of the Sinner forehand.

[@daver5626]

Very good video. Good explanation. Easy to undestand and to reproduce (here in my living room in front of the PC)...... And it will always be so difficult to get anywhere near this technic on the court....

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Living room to court is the perfect transition 😁

Glad you enjoyed it! What are you working on in your game currently?

[@1122bchc]

exactly what I teach , awesome

[@1122bchc]

you are on point with everything with the elbow pull like Lendl never understood , and exescive rotation allowing relaxation and extension of the arm

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

That’s great! Are you finding it helps many players?

[@omg_tennis_siblings]

Great video 😀

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💪

[@TenshiSilver7]

Your lessons are always so good. I'm struggling with the forehand, after watching this I really wanna go out there and try some new things !

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thank you for your kind words, glad our lessons are helping! :)

[@gabrieleparachini680]

A bit tricky this one imhb. While the importance of the elbow coming forward applies for both eastern forehands and semi/west forehands hitters, the elbow bent and wheelie finish are all trademarks of players hitting forehands with a semi/western grips only

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

For sure! 👍

[@benjamins15779]

Great video. Do you have any drills to improve this...? Thx

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Well shadow swings if you have a mirror even better, as you get better you can shadow swing with two racquets or a racquet head sleeve for more resistance. The practice doing the move when hitting balls form feeds then go into rallies and ultimately points

[@benjamins15779]

@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thank you for your advice and taking the time to answer

[@mario17-t34]

Thanks so much, sorry you said horizontal @2.05, is this correct? not clear what is referred to

[@benjamins15779]

Hi. Lets start saying Im new with tennis. So I need a lot of help 😂 Can you make a video (if you haven't yet) on why we're hitting the ball long and how to fix it? I had a match last night, lets say it didn't go well 🤷‍♂️😊

[@phillai9930]

Shall we initiate the swing from the leg and hip all the time or our left shoulder for righties? I missed my timing to meet the ball when I focused on the legs. Any remedy on that?Thanks

[@abcd-fs2de]

All the time I waited for you to show us your hitting with this style :/

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I don’t know if I can make it stick for me, too many hours spent grooving mine 😂

[@Shaehaank]

What is happening at that exact moment of contact and slightly after when sinner hits the ball in involving his wrist when finishing through the shot? does he consciously turn his wrist over after making contact?, or is this part of the stroke just a natural by product of the swing?

[@lynyrdskynyrd9742]

Do you think that wrap around might be tough on the rotator cuff? I ask because a lot of club players will try to imitate pro swings... And they don't have the physical reality .. flexibility in this case to do so.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I don’t think it should be a problem as it’s a continuous movement through racquet head momentum it allows the racquet to flow without any harsh stops which is usually what strains the rotator cuff

[@bronetoxa3911]

how to made return from the back faster?

[@kavitasingla2326]

Any suggestions

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

sent you a reply below

[@narsimha1089]

One important thing or the information lacking in this videos was , after that horizontal take back what is he doing to get into slot position ? Good video though

[@kavitasingla2326]

I mishit the ball ig because some times my racket twists in my hand

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I would get an overgrip to make the grip thicker and more tacky

[@Anonymous-ic3dl]

i copy sinners style and it’s great

[@sunmanyi3265]

There's one more very vital element which I'm not going to divulge, hehe...

[@pr4nk5tr]

Would copy Sinner's forehand yourself, or prefer to stick to yours?

[@Kazzzzzo]

Yeah, similar to Jack Sock, Nixk Kyrgios, Dominic Thiem...

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Modern forehand taking over?

[@watcher687]

The biggest problem of rec players is not being able to hit the ball cleanly rather than power. This will make them even worse. Thanks!😀

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I think doing an early turn for takeback (giving you more time) then extending through contact making the contact point more predictable and finishing the stroke to make the movement fluid will only help hit the ball cleaner and more consistent so I’m gonna have to disagree with you there

[@watcher687]

@ Isn’t that racket inversion on take back too extreme for a rec player? Isn’t an Agassi type forehand more likely to be hit cleanly and consistently?

[@masteru7649]

[@samoart]

Dont copy sinner style . Not for casual player

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Why not?

[@sawyer7191]

For the casual player there is a fitness level you need to have to do this. I would like to think I’m pretty fit given my background in gymnastics and ballet, and tennis 5 times a week now. In order for me to swing a racquet correctly it took me doing supplementary fitness exercises and building up muscles I didn’t use to not strain my muscles. Sinner’s shot is very technical and requires you to master a lot of elements and knowing how to engage muscles to properly rotate. Plus moving your elbow that fast and bent can hurt, especially if you are trying to be loose. Sinner is my favorite player, but how he hits the ball is not easy to copy for a causal player trying to learn their game or to restructure their swing!

[@colinbyer3018]

The way sinner hits it is not bad to copy, the only thing that looks tough is the pat the dog position looks weird, everything else is pretty normal tho

[@leondarcy7367]

You'll explode your wrist

[@Angelostennis]

None of this has anything to do with him winning
