Footage from the local Davis Cup tie

[Greg G]

The Philippines hosted Pakistan in the Asia-Oceania qualifiers at my home club, so I was able to get some decent footage from the matches which focused more on player techniques instead of match play... We lost the tie after being up 2-0

In between matches, I heard some booming serves coming from the practice court... I hurriedly took footage (3 courts away). Turns out it was Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (27th in the world in doubles). Love his serve, very easy motion and great posture. He was a big factor in Pakistan's comeback, dominating the doubles match and playing the 5th and deciding match.

Managed to get footage of our doubles guy Treat Huey (25th in the world in doubles), practicing returns of serve. The coach was serving from NML, nice drill. I was allowed to stand inside the court, so I like this angle:

Will try to sift through the rest of my footage, if there's any interest.

Nothing we don't already know... Good court positioning and early prep. Short backswing, hit way out in front. Stay relaxed when hitting.

Those were my takeaway points, and I've been playing pretty well since.

Treat Huey is from my old stomping grounds in Alexandria, Va. My dad has met him a couple of times.
