20+ Astonishing Angles that Shocked Everyone | Serena Williams

[@tennistopshots6346]

My favorite shot from her is that sweet short-angle crosscourt backhand 😍

[@sweetie9393]

I think she had a good run and should now open a state of the art court to teach others especially her daughter! Don’t wait until your all used up and have lost the passion. So many minorities who are not exposed NEED your talents!🥰 What difference does twenty or thirty of the same award does it freakin matter! Getting older is life it’s what and how you finish your legacy! Do something that has never never been done like BECOMING THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO TRAIN THESE mini-me Serena Williams and Venus Williams’s it’s not the money GOOGLE says you have it all make a difference in this world in a different way.

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

her response time and hands are so damn fast. i don't think anyone will ever surpass her in this skill

[@quarmainestephenson8403]

That’s crazy

[@roter13]

Richard legitimately got everything right.

[@mrrogers302]

One of her more underrated skills. She get credit for her power and speed, but not often her fabulous angles. And she can hit them from the middle of the court.

[@henning439]

Her return is also incredible.

[@stephenkeye2678]

Don't forget her intelligence. U have to be smart to use all those tools that well.

[@patrickgeorge6574]

Such an underrated technique to create those angles. No one can do it like Serena. She'll outdo anyone's angular shots and she's unpredictable with it too.

[@maggotbrain7499]

People knowing tennis don't find it underrated.

[@doksh5740]

​@@maggotbrain7499did you ever play tennis???? Tennis legends, men and women, have talked a lot about Serena's capabilities.🎉

[@maggotbrain7499]

@@doksh5740 That is why she is not underrated. Forget the media's take on this. They don't establish the ratings.

[@smallfire93]

Serena does have amazing angles. Believe it or not, she said that's what she focused more on when she was starting because she didn't have the kind of power she does now. But with her power and angles, definitely makes her an unstoppable force on the court.

[@adasp23]

That clay court clip was brighter than the sun.

[@nutrick92]

😂 I still see sparks 😵‍💫

[@maheshBasavaraju]

Her angles are a treat to watch!

[@liamj5208]

Such an underrated aspect of her game!! She hit an amazing forehand angle winner against Vesnina in the Wimbledon 2016 semis and a backhand angle against Vinci at the US open that was amazing

[@melliegotsoul]

how is she underrated when she’s known as ‘the best’

[@DW-es2en]

@Mellie Chris He said “underrated ASPECT of her game.” Never said she’s underrated. There’s a difference.

@@DW-es2en maybe you can point out some more underrated aspects of her game. Help people knowing her abilities.

Love how this video showcases across decades how good she’s been from beginning till now. Truly the greatest there is and will ever be.

[@chazzprinceton84]

Watching this made me realize Ive watched over 200 matches with Serena and her angles are always incredibly amazing to watch everytime.

[@ItzBryicee]

No one is beating Serena when she’s playing her best.

[@WapajeaWalksOnWater]

Serena Williams, the absolute Greatest of All Time

[@Hypegreene05]

It's not just the power but the precision too.

[@ContagiousGlory24]

She is the epitome of an athlete. It's her build. It's her MIND & ATTITUDE!!! And her extraordinary Mom & Dad. #King Richard - Great Movie*****

[@zeddeka]

I remember seeing Serena and Venus back in 1998 at Eastbourne practicing. They were both standing on the service line hitting really acute angles to each other. A great drill if you want to practice hitting angles like that.

[@rnsw4572]

2:01 What an amazing shot! Single handed, no look flick of the wrist to create that angle! Her angles r so underrated! 🐐

[@kylestewart1439]

Never seen Henin applaud a shot till I saw that clip she got a taste of her own with that one hander

[@sibais]

Nobody else in the game has her angles. I wish she’d use them more tho

[@lawrencemaweu]

And don't forget that no one else has her curves too...so angles and curves...

[@delroisfierro517]

Agree 100%

[@manuelramos8172]

@@lawrencemaweu 100% lol

[@secrets.295]

@@lawrencemaweu The curve is what we call Top Spin. Not many women uses a lot of top spins, they prefer a more flat forehand/backhand shot. Even Serena rarely used it but when she does use it, she uses it effectively. Her Top Spins look so beautiful. But recently more and more women are using spins. I think women players are beginning to realize that without a lot of spins, it's hard to be consistent. The 2010s was a disaster because the women are increasingly hitting flatter and harder. New players like Swiatek who uses a lot of spins will benefit from this. I am excited for the future of womens tennis.

[@xavierrobinson200]

I agree. Men or women no one hits angles like Serena. You can't even tell she's about to go for it

[@TechWizz]

The same way she was able to disguise the direction of her serve. Just a great player.

[@EuroForUkraine]

The quality of some of these clips make it look like she's been around since early 70s...🤣

[@stephenkeye2678]

I met Richard at a tournament in AZ. Great man! Serena's ability to be smart enough to use all those tools she has is herstery.

[@a32tl]

Monica Seles was one of Serena's tennis idols and Seles was known for those incredible angles as well. Serena took it to another level but I'm sure Monica provided some inspiration.

[@AmadanDubh]

Serena hands are so quick she has it all Holla

[@willybeama1]

Seles, in her prime, had the sharpest acute fast angles. Serena’s are more varied and less powerful. Seles was definitely Serena’s favorite player and you can see it in her game too. She said she started grunting because of Seles.

[@jujumusique1305]

Seles had the craziest angles thanks to her double handed shots on both sides.

[@adityavora007]

and the fools say that she is not the greatest Mr richard is the GOAT of Fathers

[@bryanmartin5901]

He was and is an amazing father and coach; unfortunately he seems to have not known the virtue of purity or fidelity as he and Oracene divorced has many children from many women. Still, he cared for his daughters so well, and never gets the appreciation he deserves as the single greatest coach of all time.

[@justinadu6063]

5hrs later... Still watching this. Amazing!

[@martinaatsuelime6902]

Serena is the GOAT for lie...I’m yet to see anyone break her record...she’s a mother wife and an athlete

[@martinaatsuelime6902]

Still she plays the way she does with even much strength I’m yet to see any player married with a kid and still plays like she does

[@emmanuelmakoba6085]

Wow. So true. I never realised how great she is at making these acute angles. Great tennis player.

[@francisvandermosen302]

Honestly, Monica Seles is not far behind in terms of creating angles. However, what papa Richard said at the beginning really shows when Serena plays mixed doubles. She uses the tram lines better than any other player, male or female.

[@silulekomkhize7839]

Wow I just can't get enough. That shot at 2:25 is so enchanting!!!

[@thrshwll1526]

Great job SERENA Williams. Just awesome

[@Listenthenspk]

The GOAT period, doesn't get enough credit for her angels... enough about the serve her angels are emaculate

[@Nike5221]

I actually learned angles from watching Serena... Particularly in 2002 is when I caught onto how well she hits angles....

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

Yup, hit short angles within the service box, and if the opponent manages to return it, their court is wide open for a finisher.

[@tennistimeless1090]

Love this video! A couple extra I remember was the one against Halep AO2021 at 1-0, 40-40, and the one she hit in round 2 of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon 2019 in the second set at 1-0, down advantage. They're both on youtube if you want to go watch!

[@arabking6251]

She is the greatest tennis player in the world..

[@danielgeorgetheoneandonly]

At some point in Serena’s career I know her game was parallel with male players. I coach tennis and the biggest difference between men and women might just be the serve, but Serena hit constant 120+ serve and her athletic body in 2013-2015 could be comparable to a man. This woman is amazing and we’ve never seen her full potential

[@Eejaysushi]

if you truly believe the difference between a man and woman's game at Tennis is the serve speed... actually, you believe what you want this topic is not worth arguing over.

[@k.alvarado6237]

2013 Serena was a phenom. Top tier shape, top tier hitting. However, she and all women would fall to men once they get into a rally more than two shots. The speed of the game is too much

[@safee4540]

A Serena Willians foi dentro tênis, com o devido cuidado, aquilo que o Mike Tyson foi no boxe. Alguém que colocava pela força uma pressão absoluta sobre suas adversárias até um ponco que elas não suportavam. Mas tal qual o Tyson, suas adversárias a estudaram e descobriram um modo de conter o vulcão que ela trazia no braço e, como acontece com todos, o tempo acabou fazendo algo que ele sempre faz. Traz o acréscimo de peso e as lesões, diminui os reflexos e a agilidade, além é claro, de sempre apresentar adversárias mais novas e mais técnicas. Mesmo que não parecesse para suas adversárias, ela sempre foi humana e dessa forma gravou merecidamente seu lugar na História. Por último uma ressalva: ela não era só uma tenista de força. Ela tinha também muitos golpes. Que o digam suas adversárias.

[@stevenmills3530]

It’s such nonsense that Serena was just a power player. Some of those angled shots were inspired. And she has one of the best topspin lobs in history as well IMO.
