fml. Oh Denis.

that is so painful to see. Hurkacz legit rattled and Shapo gives that game away. I mean, is that not the perfect example of a donation?

lol what? It's just consistency between the ears. He has everything else. There's a reason he beat Nadal in their first meeting way back (wasn't Nadals best day but a win over him is still a serious achievement in my books back then).

Oh man do I ever love the Berdych "keep quiet" finger that Felix just gave, I assume, to the Ymer camp/fans who were heckling him entire match. He's coughing in the interview too and as expected, said he feels worn down and sick. Doubt he'll recover from that but here's to hoping.

However this goes, thanks to Felix for always representing our country with tact. So glad he wasn't one of these chronic complainers always looking for a reason for failure other than themselves.

Yeah I mean Felix has majorly improved his serve since 19, don't think any conclusions on his entire career can be made at this point in time. Generally what doesn't increase is raw power, so we've seen what he can do from a young age. I still think Felix has more physical upside in terms of...

Maybe it is the way you wrote it...you said "no way" which would indicate not even close.

Are we talking about Felix or Carlos? There's a ton of aspects to a shot. By saying Felix is just a better server and "everything else is not close" is cheap. Clearly not the case.

Numbers say otherwise when you compare average spin and groundstroke speed but ok. I don't think his is necessarily better but they each have their strengths.

lol what? Forehand is at minimum equal between the two. Rally forehand edge goes to Felix right now, offensive forehand advantage Carlos. That's unbiased.

Backhand, in multiple tournaments the mph and rpm has gone to Shapovalov (based off of hawkeye info). The shots he hits for a one hander are ridiculous. Definitely more error prone than Stan, but honestly just as effective offensively (defense, definitely not).

Troll

Sevastova has one of the best forehand techniques i've seen on the womens side. Tons of power and spin, very compact (ATP backswing).

What? Do you actually watch his matches, or just regurgitate the same rose tinted juice as this entire thread? The guy has a huge problem with behaviour and it is quite disgraceful. Glad you seem to let it slide and maybe you were raised with different values and virtues on how to treat people...

You all buy this nonsense? He is terrible to the ballkids. Great tennis player, may be a great person to his family but you reap what you sow. The fake desperation that emanates from his desire to be loved by the crowd and his handling of court volunteers is very disappointing. Not someone I...

Thank you very much. I noticed that also, watching myself back. My off hand and arm are really not conducive to balance or power. I will need to make a conscious effort. I uploaded a second video with better light settings and also added quite a few of the mistakes I made this time rather than...

This exactly, its a brand new Gopro Hero 8 with 4k60fps source. The light in the bubble is mediocre I apologize, and I had the ISO set to low. I am playing again on Friday I will try turning it up. There are 6 courts indoors and yeah there are a ton of children behind us in the training courts...

All advice is welcome. I've been a member here fore a while but don't post videos often. I am in green. I still make quite a few mistakes as I am currently not playing often enough to get into a groove on the forehand and backhand simultaneously (I find). EDIT: Match 2, brighter light Really...

How can anyone say Shapo doesn't have a backhand? His backhand is the best of the next gen minus Zverev, period. He hits more spin and winners than anyone else down that wing? Just because he is aggressive with it and take huge cuts doesn't mean it's not a good shot. His problem is between the...

I am indifferent as to who won, I am a tennis fan first before a fan of any player.

...disgusting behaviour. Things don't go his way - yell at the ballkids "come on come on, hurry up!" as they carry your soaked towel for free. Show some class - none of which he clearly has. Won't even start on the cursing in his native language or the "shut the **** up". He wonders why he...

@mike danny Were we not watching the same match? Denis hit 36 to 10 winners....Berdman had no chance once Denis decided to win :D

Shaps hits more spin on his BH than Berd on his FH, plus with as much pace. That is scary.

Now that I have been playing in my local club league for around 2 years, I have learned the weak parts of my game. I had a humbling experience going up to division 2 (out of 8, which is probably 4.0-4.5 level with mostly 45+) where I just got frustrated not being able to hit through people (play...

Since it is travelling a shorter distance the ball speed on impact is also higher due to that though. They are both terrific shotmakers.

Avg groundstroke speed here must have been really high. Best of luck to both of these guys in 2018.

https://www.**************.org/tennis/news/Roger_Federer/48293/roger-federer-i-had-arguments-with-nadal-but-today-he-is-my-friend-/ He really is different than 5 or 6 years ago. Nice to see him speak his mind.and be honest about how painful it is to lose, and the talk about how unlucky Rafa has...

I am thoroughly impressed with the way Federer spoke in the press conference. I have NEVER heard him give anyone that much credit or basically state "I had no answers tonight", as if to say, someone was better and it wasn't on my racket. Federer has not only had a terrific year but the time off...

Saw it watching the US Open last night in Canada...

Personally I thought he would have won anyhow. Kyle got injured and retired rather quickly so, Denis was looking to be a little more in control as of then. No guarantees though.
