Sebastian Korda Forehand Technique: Complete Breakdown

[@TennisUnleashed]

Sebastian Korda is now inside the top 15 after winning in DC and making the semis in Montreal. Will he be the top ranked American when 2024 finishes? -Jason Frausto

[@igo2054]

I think Ben Shelton or Tommy Paul will be top1 US, depends on US open ofcourse

[@TennisUnleashed]

@@igo2054 Both great picks. Nice to see Korda at 15 in the world now. The Americans now take spots 12-15 in the singles rankings. -Jason Frausto

Would you prefer the arm more tilt or is enough for you kordas tilt?¿ And why

[@TennisUnleashed]

Good question Sebastian. I’m partial to some tilt but not an excessive amount like you see with Kyrgios or Kokkinakis. Korda is good, Djokovic has more than Korda but an acceptable amount.Past Novak’s amount is when things can get to be a problem for most players. -Jason Frausto

Especially with the hat on in the video on the left, Korda looks just like Berdych

[@TennisUnleashed]

I agree, doesn’t really look like Korda in the video on the left. Nice to see Sebi at a new career high of 15 in the world this week. -Jason Frausto

[@MegaNarox]

would love to see your points on the alcaraz forehand

[@TennisUnleashed]

Thank you. That will be the next technique analysis video I do. -Jason Frausto

Thiago Seyboth Wild forehand next? He whacks the ball hard.

[@TennisUnleashed]

Will do if I can track down enough footage of him. I'll add him to the list. -Jason Frausto

I tried using a high elbow takeback for over two years and went from a 4.0 to a 3.5. I then went to Korda's lower elbow take back and won 10 straight matches. This is the forehand for me!

[@igo2054]

seems kinda Federer-esque, the mystery to me is - everybody starts with pretty big loop even this atp guys as kids must have had big loop, its just natural (even junior Fed had huge loop), and how they make it smaller- whats the process, what are the drills, that info is missing there is little of footage of pros as juniors when they were not well known --> how to convert your forehand to half-loop - zillion tutorials on youtube on forehand but 0 videos with practical info how to make the loop smaller

[@TennisUnleashed]

That’s a good question. I train plenty of kids now and do not require them to make a full loop. I just teach them the ATP/lag style forehand as long as they’re ready to learn it. I’ve done it with girls as young as 10 years old. Changed them from large circular loop to ATP/lag forehand in as little as 4 weeks. -Jason Frausto

@@TennisUnleashed thats interesting cause 90% wta players have really big loops but maybe that will change in the future, they are often braking the plane
