This kid is amazing, and your training style is awesome! Thank you for posting these videos!
The best lesson I have ever saw !!!!!!! Thank you very much Patrick!!!!!!
He’s using a grip between SW and Western, which makes it harder to hit sharp cross court angles. Due to his young age, he has to compensate with the use of his body for leverage, so the appearance of pulling back when he’s trying to work the arm across his central axis. It will likely correct automatically as he gets bigger and stronger.
No it wont. If he keep like this your body mechanics will benefit from it. I learned it the hard way );
Eres muy bueno !!
Felicitaciones !!
Little Teo is going to be a great tennis player in the near future.
he’s small and his parents are very very tiny mom is probably 4,9 and dad is prob 5,7
@@officalstallion866 You don't know that for sure dude. His grandparents from both side cause be 6'0-6'5. And his dad looks to be at least 5'11...and that's pretty tall. Hell, how tall do u think Andre Agassis is? Nadal, Federer?
Patrick is great at praising the young players and giving good this is good but his will be better feedback.
This child is impressive!
Bounds dropped from clay courts are of a suitable height and are not moving, so it is good to hit. On grass courts and hard courts, the bounces are very fast and low and difficult to hit. You also need to practice hitting very fast balls, very low balls, and high balls. In particular, it seems to be difficult for ambidextrous players to hit a left-handed highball volley. It takes practice to hit highball volley like badminton
Could you explain how to be precise when we plays with our two hands? Finding angles serms to be hatder..thank you
Kid was born to put both his hands on maximum power
Yesterday I lost a tournament and came to 4th place i was so demotivated by it because they were so many easy shots which were short and i was not able to play them
I want to try this but the grip change is confusing me
As long as he knows that these are rarely used shots. Top boys his age crack the ball pretty good and go for large targets, as do the pros. Most top boys are aiming for midway on each side between the service line and baseline, and mid court and the sidelines. Such extreme angles and/or down the line shots are fairly rare, extremely hard to hit them consistently when receiving a hard topspin ball, compared to these soft hand feeds. Seen many boys lose matches trying to hit these hero shots. In reality, the boys and pros who win have a staple of topspin cracked to huge targets with a large margin for error. Nice to practice these for those short and soft floaters, but he will very rarely actually use them in a match.
A lot of time is wasted changing that grip so he holds it lower on the handle and it clearly messes with his timing. My bet /idea would be to keep doing this so he develops symmetrically then will incorporate a backhand. Great talent & skill on the kid!
That's what I was curious about
if this boy gets to play in the atp in the near future, he would be the first to play an "all-forehand" men's tennis 😅
You don’t _find_ angles with an ambidextrous player. You HAVE them.
Can he hit slice from both his hands? If he can't then that's a major disadvantage.
Good point indeed. For very good reasons, forehand slices are innocuous compared with their backhand counterparts. This does mean that, while this ambidextruous forehand style may have strong potential on clay where slices are commonly inefficient, things will oppositely come as extremely difficult on, e.g. grass... That being said, this ambidextruous forehand style seems as fitting quite well with modern tennis where most of the rallyes (unfortunately) build from baseline strongly hitten strokes..
I'm sure if not already done he can easily develop a proper 1 handed backhand slice.
@Devon R : having been checking further, it does seem that he 100% relies upon a sliced forehand on both sides. Developing a good backhand slice is everything but a simple thing. Please have a look at the ATP 100 top ranked players : all of the ones who developed an extremely performing backhand slice (D. Evans, G. Dimitrov) do also rely on a one handed backhand... L. Davidov will develop further an alernative approach with strong and weapons through ambidextrous serves and forehands that may end up compensating his lack of a backhand.
@@jpdrgvii6844 As a high level player with lot of fundamental and natural skill and still being very young, developing a slice backhand will be very easily do able and isn't anything to worry about.
Yes he can hit backhands on both sides, as well as slices
