The return of serve: TENNIS MASTERCLASS by Patrick Mouratoglou, EPISODE 1

[@wty989898]

I can't believe we are getting this kind of quality tennis lesson for free... Thank you so much Coach Mouratoglou!

[@117mxsanchez]

I was literally thinking the same thing.

[@west4798]

There is a reason for that😂. Just look how many players(girls/boys) have won a GS under him as the main coach.

[@sjp4565]

@@west4798 these comments are so stupid winning GS's is next to impossible most players that sit in the top 10 will never win a GS in their lives. Not to mention that like 3 dudes have won nearly all the GS titles in the past decade.

[@jptennis]

As a coach who has worked 20 years on the WTA and ITF tour. This is the best example of simplifying things that are so difficult. For every sentence he says, he is condensing hours of research and analysis, meanwhile making it look easy. Awesome presentation, Patrick 👏

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind words!

[@philipplange2133]

Please keep educating us and the next generation for better tennis performance. God richly bless you Coach

[@mladenmijanovic1328]

One of the best tennis coach in the world if not the best

good presentation but poor info

[@julianocorsino6836]

I pay around R$100.00 for a class to have this type of information that was passed on here. My teacher is a great idol to me for his dedication to tennis, but Maratoglou surpassed all barriers of excellence with this video and FOR FREE!! Congrats!! 👏👏

[@stephenkeye2678]

I've found that most club pros no nothing! They take your money, and you never even get any better.

[@armandovalentin1117]

This is a student of your teacher too.

[@armandovalentin1117]

​@@stephenkeye2678yeah...most...pros are not teachers.

[@asoaresjr]

Played competitive tennis my whole life and played D1 in the US back in HS before going to a college that killed its tennis program my freshman year. I've watched world class coaches give lessons on returns, and I have to say this is by far the best return class I've ever seen. I feel like if I had this resource available to me back in the day, I would have made huge gains on my return game. Great work as always by coach Patrick -- keep it up!

[@venkatesh4kotapati]

😮😮

[@RapotatoGAMING]

I have found similar help from this video. So so so so so helpful

[@stephenkeye2678]

True! Most club pros no nothing. They'll take your money and you'll never get better. Sad....

[@baomichael]

i learn more in this video than 54 years of playing tennis!!! thank you coach!!

[@walker.studios]

Come on KZbin - throw this legend a bone and recommend his channel more. Love Patrick's clear and engaging instruction. Merci beaucoup!

[@ckng86]

This is by far one of the best tutorial on return of serves delivered in such concise, succinct fashion! Straight to the point and easy to understand even for early learners of the game - no wonder folks like Rune and Gauff are improving so drastically! Ps: next up, please could we have a tutorial on defending / attacking high balls. Merci beaucoup!

[@TheTamrielDrunkard]

I will let Patrick make the video, but to get you started, make sure you're moving your feet forward and timing that ball off the bounce at around chest to shoulder height. This allows you to level out your swing and flatten the trajectory of the ball because the net will not be in the way when you are contacting the ball well above the net's height.

[@saurabhtiwari7525]

Hearing you felt like you are describing Novak’s technique of return. Thanks for putting it in words. You are great coach.

[@drrwin]

Very humbled by your passion to teach tennis in such detail.... everyone around the world who gets to learn from your videos are indebted to you...thank you

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

I appreciate that!

[@ST-rm3bz]

Patrick’s ability to translate the dynamics of everything in tennis is second to none. I am a beginner and I learn so much from start to end of every video. And, he delivers advice so well that I am able to apply it right on my next practice. He literally imprints the lesson in my mind. Merci beaucoup!🥰

[@ElectricanMV]

It's incredible the amount of knowledge you're sharing with us Patrick. Thanks.

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@andreaho]

Best lessons (freely), best-edited video structure with chapters, easiest understandable English explanation from a world-class coach. What more to expect!

[@Sudama2000]

I have not seen any video with a better technique than this video about returning the serve . Simply Amazing 🤩! 👏👏👏

[@camlendrim7609]

The best comprehensive tennis lesson I have ever seen. Long but worth every second. 👏

[@paulwilliams9232]

This is by far the best coaching available on You tube. It's incredible

[@lalaki2]

I started tennis when I was 7 but then stopped at 15. Recently I returned, to be able to exercise, but also to play good tennis and enjoy it as I should have in the first place. Every single one of your videos has helped me towards feeling more confident in each practice. Thank you so much for your work, your channel is fantastic!

[@BMX6x4-]

This is amazing, i have been playing tennis for 4 months, and so far ive learned so much from the content, thank you Brother! Big ups from Brazil

[@jeekay-xp5rp]

A beautiful and insightful lesson. I am in my 50s now, but still remember a backhand return I hit playing a future Davis Cup player when we were both in our 20s, with him serving at 3:3 in second set tie-break (me having won the first set lol). Serve was down the tee, I stepped in, compact backhand, guided it inside out, hit the sideline. He barely flinched as my return used the power of his serve as best as it could. So proud of it lol. And yes, I did win the tie-break :)

[@daledonovan9542]

Can't wait for episode 2,3,4,5.....always great!!! Thank you🎾🎾🎾

[@citiofbrass]

I can't believe you only have 200k subs. Your lessons is a gift that I hope never goes away

[@TennisZ.T.S.]

I am 12 years old and i love playing tennis. One of my dream is to play in your academy. Thank you for teaching and giving information about tennis. I feel like i am in your academy when i watch your realistic tennis videos. From Turkiye...

[@stevecrell7330]

Thanks coach Morataglou- last week I played a doubles match and a lefty with a good kick serve was sending me way off the court on my weaker side. I could feel the anxiety growing every time it was his turn to serve. your return of serve lesson has already made me relax .Best regards, Steve.

[@brianb336]

Thank you Patrick. That was the best lesson in return I have ever had in my life. I learned so much from you in this brief session. I can’t thank you enough.

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

Glad it was helpful!

I learned more from that video then I ever have from my former tennis coach which was actually a former top 100 player … Thx so much!

[@johnmccane1970]

Thank you sir for the free lesson

[@Nessaj87]

Must be the best video you have made. Incredible. The point about return on 1st serve cannot be a normal shot is a gamechanger. Credits to the production crew as well, this production was similar to the level of coaching!

[@Fitness4London]

Fantastic lesson, Patrick. You're the best tennis coach in the world (probably in the universe!).

A 20mins video but loads to take in! Merci Monsieur🙌🏼

[@wohtennisacademy]

Thanks Patrick Moratoglou for a great lesson and for giving us insight to all your knowledge. Would love to see a video of you talking about the best serve + 1 combinations. Greetings from the caribbean island of Puerto Rico.

[@lenwelch2195]

Excellent teacher of tennis. He makes the details of the basics sound easy to grasp- takes the guess work on where to stand on the return.

[@K4R3N]

9:29 using the bodyweight forward to control the return is so important Patrick. I was having trouble my last match, left hand guy with strong slice. I was having some success using my bodyweight to remove the "heaviness" from his serve. If I did not use my bodyweight forward the return was a mess. Bravo for this content.

[@jinwoopark9966]

His lesson is priceless. Thanks Patrick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tiagofreitas5783]

Awesome master class of tennis, a huge congrats from Brazil!! Long videos, details, stats, wonderful !!!

[@richardgarcia9943]

yes or good or bad using dampeners ? TY

[@willkittwk]

This split step is exactly the same as a prep step infielders use in baseball. Go to a MLB game and you'll see all the infielders hop like that just as the pitcher delivers so they can react either side.

[@christopherseidl444]

Thank you, this is by far the best return of serve video I have seen! Thank you very much for sharing so many valuable insights Patrick!

[@peterpanagopoulos6698]

Your instruction is, as always, impeccable! I am older and new to tennis (about 18 months now) and the two things I am having a time with is top spin and keeping the two handed back hand in the court of play and not sending it to the fence!!

I am just getting back into tennis after 30 years. This is excellent instruction and very helpful to me. Thank you so much.

[@normandiebruce]

Hey Patrick, thx for the exceptional content. I mean , this kinda lesson is often chargeable online. As someone who plays at a local club in Normandie , my only way of understanding the tactics from my coach is by guessing and google translation because my French is extremely limited. Your channel inspired me tremendously. My grandma in law is a big tennis fan and she once won the French championship as a senior player representing Normandie, every time when I visited her for tea time , we’ d talk about tennis and you, haha. You are quite famous in her generation, and you are keeping the pace to be THE most famous and inspiring coach. Yasas !

[@gazetronix]

This explains so well what I feel (and what I've inadvertently done) when I've played a good return. Now, to take steps to recreate the shots!

[@krolldavid]

Great in depth overview and summary! Thank you

[@Travelling2477]

Am amazed the way Mr Patrick coaching on very basic for this game. Even before watching Mr Patrick videos I was not even know how to grip tennis racket😊

[@cvanaver]

I've taken group tennis lessons by various coaches from various organizations for over 15 years, and this was the first time things finally made sense to me. Coaches in the past told me I was swinging too much or taking my arm back too far on returns, but never really explained why that was bad or how I should be really modifying my swing on return. Thank you Patrick...I get it now!

[@titonadler8981]

a masterclass of aproach shots would be amazing. I feel like a lot of people don’t know how big to go, how much spin, and when to maybe stay more back. low approach shots btw. thanks!

[@anirutvideo]

Thank you for your great coaching tips. You have digested a difficult subject and made it simple to undertand.
