That link takes me to some ip hiding program?
4.0-5.5 from what drak said in his other threadWhat level of play was this?
Can't really see the forehand, but I'd say he is a 3.0. His forehand didn't look like he really swung through it, you could pretty much say that for all his shots...
if you watch the other videos its clear they gotta be at least 4.5's
I thought I was watching Nadal with that serve return footwork lol
He slaps his forehand. It's not a swing, it's a wrist snap. Prolly not a topspin type player, so a nice smooth flat stroke would prolly do him wonders.
A second option (I don't know how well this would work on clay, I only play on hard courts) might be to become a spin doctor. I played a 63 year old man in a tournament who hit inside out slice. He .

Did it occur to anyone that the reason he is blocking the serve return is because the serve was coming too fast? Not much time for a wind-up.
Okay, I don't understand why you do this. It seems like you want it. You are always posting threads of a really great player, and asking to critique, then when they give a critique of of a 7 second video, were you can't even see the best shot you accuse them of having a big mouth. Nice one...Ok. Since some people opened there big mouths earlier in this thread I'll give everyone the inside scoop.
The guy on this vid is Val Wilder. He is the number 1 player in the US in the 45's. He is easily a 6.0 player, however the USTA has him rated 5.5. Take the rating with a grain of salt because at this level ratings from the USTA don't mean much.
The guy serving in this vid was hitting upwards of 120+ with nasty spin, which is why Val blocked it back. He then hit a drop shot (crazy good) to bring his opponent to net and then passsed him with a FH winner.
Here is another crazy drop shot from this guy. Also has a nasty kicker.

I video taped this match yesterday. I have been attending the USTA 45's Clay court championships this week. There are actually a few ex-pros playing this tournament. There is a thread in the Adult league section of the boards if you want to see pics and vids of the matches.
The semis are tomorrow.
My thoughts exactly, I don't know why he does this, just a waste of time.My advice is to quit trying to "trap" people into criticising players who happen to be good but who don't have nice-looking strokes.
Nice job on the split step....work on hitting through the ball more on the forehand. Extend your hitting arm farther out more before comming accross your body.

Oh, I couldn't tell what that was, or where it even landed. Was it a good drop shot? It seems like anybody could have gotten to it easily.
I'm trying to learn how to serve and volley, but keep getting passed. Could anyone help me?? Here is a vid:

^^OK. So I shouldn't come in on the second serve if my opponent is playing to his FH side???
