Novak Djokovic & Jack Sock | IW Practice (Court Level 60fps)

[@slipngrip]

those top-of-the-top level players are so freaking smooth even when compared to other ATP rankers

[@ChaunceyDos]

Yeah, what I was going to post. Novak might one of the smoothest ever, to be fair to Sock, but he practically looks like he can see into the future, just efficiently moving to his spots, perfectly balanced, compared to Sock, who looks like he's constantly reacting and trying to catch up to the shots.

[@domhaydel3894]

@@ChaunceyDos sock is a doubles player imo

[@alephnull4044]

@@ChaunceyDos He hits as though he's seeing everything in slow motion, yeah

[@paoloantunes1283]

Most top of top players, including previous generations, have that “Smoothness” that sets them apart from the rest of the pack. Their hitting is totally based on timing not on muscling, and Djokovic is the supreme example. This is why when we watch players from lower ranks, like ATP challengers who seem to hit much harder and faster, but they actually don’t- they are muscling the ball, and hitting with more strength but less power, because strength comes from muscle but power comes from timing.

[@davidyoung1317]

Djokovic’s movement is fluid. His balance is so helpful to watch.

[@JJTrevi]

Sock strokes looks so cool.. but Djockos are so fluid

[@boriskostic6964]

TV should become more interactive in the future. So that you can switch between different modes of viewing. VR, birds eye, Court level, side view etc. Also with the option to switch between different commentary teams or even turn it off entirely. It should be a tailored experience, rather than the what you see is what you get model.

[@silentrhymes7490]

As much as I love watching Federer play in practice court, Nole also has that flawless technique and especially with that backhand wow

[@pistolpete023]

Novak has textbook stroke mechanics with body posture as near perfect as it gets. Jack has some quirks; lots of wrist action on the forehand and a really shortened stroke on the backhand, almost like he's afraid to overhit it.

[@johntallanger4036]

Jack may hit it better. He just can't move like Novak.

[@Bryceccc]

The wrist action obviously gives him more room for error with topspin that stays in the court. Nadal does the same so I would say it’s a pretty good technique considering he just beat mr textbook strokes again.

[@stello61]

​@@Bryceccc nonsense, Nadal's arm is way more extended upon impact, Sock is literally only using his wrist, Nadal uses his wrist to amplify topspin

[@absolutelynothingtoseehere]

The guy was a top 20 player at this time. You probably aren't qualified to critique his technique.

[@hilifeboizz7290]

Sock's forehand is super weird and cool but Novak is a much more complete player.

[@granitezero]

Maybe it's because he plays doubles, so not much baseline tennis like singles? Idk just my theory.

[@zachmason868]

Becuase the slice is easy. Literally, the easiest shot to learn in tennis.

[@GeorgeG4895]

Djokovic back is textbook. He's just as good on back than forehand

[@JudahIsrael]

my first time seeing sock's forehand on court level. What a grip!

[@wildlive1296]

Sock doesn't follow-through on his backhand very much at all compared to Novak. Novak practically wraps his racket around his back where Sock just gets it to vertical.

[@arweiss21]

Loolie 1 I agree that sock’s backhand sux, but it’s a legit variation of the two handed even though it doesn’t look like Novak’s. Watch Nalbandian hit his backhand and you’ll see he stops at that vertical spot sometimes too.

[@KHLee41]

Sock uses low-tension string

[@Herman-ix7tv]

Actually allows for a quicker backhand and a quicker reset. Its a good backhand

[@willhopson1277]

Djoker is just a superior player. They’re not really comparable

[@willhopson1277]

WildLive 1 They could play 100 games to 11 and I would venture to guess Djokovic would win 75 or more (When playing from the middle with a drop feed)

[@ViaticalTree]

Every once in a while I’ll watch a video like this to remind me that Jack Sock used to play a sport. Now he plays pickleball.

[@gladman9634]

[@adlib8096]

Jack must be very strong, he wields his racket like its a badminton racket and only seems to push the ball to high speed rather than hitting it.

[@yxpeterxy]

injury prone ... alot of pressure on his wrist and elbow

[@ChaunceyDos]

Almost more than any other player I can think of right now, Jack really does make that racket look very very light. It's like he's just flicking around a chopstick or something.

[@pierrelombard3631]

@@ChaunceyDos it's also because it's the case. Jack sock is light compared to other players. Plus the bright colors give the impression the racquet goes faster.

[@olivegreen1351]

[@raheyna8888]

For those wondering why it seem Novak is hitting a lot of balls out pass the baseline, it’s because early on in practice he is working on hitting the ball deep. He doesn’t care if it’s a little long, he wants to get depth on his shots.

[@andreaho]

Nobody raised a question. So shut up fool.

[@andreramos7861]

Shut up.

[@ViaticalTree]

😂 You’re obviously not a player. You don’t purposefully hit the ball long to practice hitting deep. That only teaches you to hit out. The only time they might not care about hitting the ball out is during the very early stages of warmup when you’re just trying to get loose.

[@romcallis]

Seems like all the best practice videos are from Indian Wells

[@Doty6String]

Sock racquet head speed on the forehand is absurd! Roman Probst claims he hits with more rpm than Nadal.

Sock forehand extreme grip is the result of recent American clueless coaches strategy for heavy topspin. At the end its neither heavy nor topspin.

[@andresp7136]

Jack Sock's left hand is under-utilized. Notice on his forehand he barely extends his arm out. Also on his backhand slice he barely uses it for balance after contact. Sad to see a top player making such easy mistakes on a habitual basis. On the other hand, Djokovic has crisp, fluid strokes, moves his feet more, etc. Watch Djokovic's left hand during his slices at 5:20 for comparison. It's the little things that make the difference between 0 Grand slam titles and 14 titles.
