Novak Djokovic Practice RG 2016

[@jimgabrielsen]

Wow he places the ball with such incredible pace and ease. I know he's the best player in the world but it's amazing to see it from this perspective. Thanks for uploading!!!

depends on surface, nadal is almost unbeatable on clay. Novak inconsistent in late years

Nice video. Never before have I notice that Novak has such a nice contact, so easy power. I always though he needed to use more force but that looked really really good.

[@sirjain4408]

he is very efficient

You can tell by the sound of Novak's racquet at impact that he never misses the sweet spot.

[@nn3444]

fantastic quality....keep up the great work mate 👍

[@sohamprasad6696]

I don't understand how anyone could possibly coach someone like Djokovic.

[@charmeleon10]

I just have to wonder. What do his coaches actually tell him? They walk up to him several times in this video and talk to him with a facial expression that makes it look like he's doing something wrong. He's the number 1 in the world and one of the most accomplished players ever, what could anyone have to say to him? I'm always so curious about that

[@rubikswu]

I think the coaches for the top ATP players don't teach them the specific mechanics, but how to play the point. Watching a point play out on the sidelines is very different from what the player sees. So the coaches might say like be more aggressive on the backhand side or like change up the pace on the 3rd ball. That's my speculation, anyway. :P

[@charmeleon10]

+rubikswu Well yes I never guessed the pro players needed help swinging their rackets, even I'm past that. Most of the insight my coach gives me is how to play the point, yes, but there's obviously such a HUGE gap between me and Djokovic, that just watching him play makes me feel like he doesn't need any help at all anymore. But you're probably right :P

[@abujabi]

I think his coach boris is like "hey Djokovic you're doing great, keep doing what you're doing and don't forget to pay my $1million salary check next week"

[@noriega78]

Even the pro needs someone to tell them what's wrong. From a technical point of view. But it's mostly tactic and mental the coach brings

[@cooldude2399]

That skill gap doesn't necessarily mean his coaches don't fulfill the same role. Remember, his opponents and your opponents have as great a skill gap, and with that comes a greater strategic ability and more well defined playstyles / strengths or even weaknesses. And even the tiniest kinks in their game matter so much more than the tiniest in yours. So yeah.

[@Manuser7]

is it Guillaume Rufin practicing with Novak? I think it is. This player had a pretty nice game and was improving nicely in 2012, he disappeared since...

[@tata570]

yes, too much injuries..

[@jiahuazhang7193]

mikeisu theres no need to zoom in on that, and no ones crying over this.

[@song7087]

they are afraid your small eyes couldnt see him clearly

[@TheScreamingSeal]

I've always wondered why the top guys don't train against each other, how good would they be if Djokovic just played Nadal or Federer everyday?

[@nicoslater8750]

Because they would spend their practice to observe their opponent (to find a way to beat him in an official match) without focusing on their own game.

[@MrRomcallis]

Wish there were more clay matches between Djoker and Fed. Hard to determine who is second best on clay. They each have one RG title but Djoker has won Rome five times

What else can you teach to a true champion!

[@ebenburger111]

Not bad.... It looks like the strings & racquet of djokovic gives him tremendous 'pop'.... That wd explain the effortless power of his shots.... However he also has speed from his waist up.... But particularly in this video u can notice the huge difference the racquet & strings can make to ur game! 😮

[@GodGod1337]

hahaha his racquet has a swing weight of 370+, it does give u some insane plow thru plus he string with gut and alu power. I am always amuse at how easy djokovic manage to swing that club 😂😂 probably if i use his racket i can only hit a few good shot before my body giveway with some upperback and shoulder soreness.

[@ebenburger111]

Where did you get the info regarding the swing weight of his racquet? ..... It's probably just a rumour.... Not all pros play with heavy racquets...
