Do you get randomly assigned to players or they’ll ask for you specifically?

[@josepherfe1084]

I know like when he played with djokovic djokovic had to personally select him

[@evd9181]

Coaching by his wife, by the way. I met him with her in our tennis-club in Moscow, during preparing to the Kremlin cup.

Let me see if you know me, I know you. See if you can recognize me

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Hold on, I think I saw you today! Is that possible? :)

Mikhail has got a good inside-out slice backhand drive so he can put pace on the ball.. if you think if you slice the ball past the service line that you're safe? Not with these guys you hitting with. Anything that drops short of the baseline from you is a short ball to them There's two different levels here that I can see. At 6:30 in video, you chopped under the ball? It made no sense to me to use that shot. The truth is maybe 70%-80% of the time we can get our feet to the ball but the other 20% of balls are usually emergency wide balls we can't get out feet over to in time. You're wasting your time looking down and cursing at your feet for being too slow getting to the ball. The fact is we can't get our feet over to every single ball on the tennis court, its physically impossible with the high velocities nowdays the ball is being rocketed all around at by these top world players.. That's the reason why we use two finishes instead of using just one finish... One finish to hit the ball ealy when we got time and the other finish to deal with balls we are late getting to... You cant hook the ball very well by just chopping all under it while its moving all away from your body.. Slicing all under the ball off your forehand while its going off in the opposite direction swinging away from your body tends to sit the ball up in the court if you don't get it bang on perfect with the timing and the angle with your racquet face.. Its a more difficult shot to try to pull off. Because you have to make sure the ball does not sit all up in the court when you do hit it. And its a one in a million that you do nail it and the other 90% of the time turn out to be weak sittters at the net so its not even worth using in a match.

Nice video, but you talk too much; we only want to watch good tennis on court view and nothing more.

[@Patrick-rz9jn]

Respectfully, I don't think "we" is everyone who watches. I think the talking is good, makes you engaged in the video rather than being hypnotized by pros hitting a ball haha
