- Brad Gilbert was the coach of Andre Agassi and winner of 20 professional tennis titles. His book Winning Ugly reveals all of the tactics he used for success on the court.
We're sorry to report some initial audio issues, but the issues clear up by 2:45 (goo.gl/dfgpBc).
Brad is a great story teller and one of the best tennis commentators out there. Real smart and likable guy!
I played Brad in high school when we visited piedmont High from Walnut Creek, he was a freckled little schmuck with a folded back tennis hat who dinked dunked and drop shot to pull me in and then lobbed over my head to win every point...with the nick name of Bratly...i think he was # 2 in the 16's nationally at the time..his sister and brother both played in front of him at 1 and 2 on the team that year (1976)....
7 years later, indeed we are seeing tiafoe and opelka in grand slams .. great foresight by brad 🎉
Audio is fine past the
I everyone, Im from Argentina, i have the book and is totally amazing, the best tennis book ive ever read, since the moment it came into my hands my tennis changed totally FOR GOOD! Brad is the best person to explain how to maximize our tennis!
This guy is very smart and has great insight into tennis and life. Amazing how accurate his predictions were.
The best ever written on tennis strategy, tactics, and psychology.
Brad had the best running passing shots in the game at his time. He had a good first serve, and steady, controlled ground strokes. He could serve and volley, had a good return of serve, and decent volleys. And he scouted the opponents better than almost anyone. He liked to play slow and dare you to come in, but he could sneak in and take the net away from you, and he could serve and volley. And he was QUICK. This notion that he had no skills is just wrong.
Brad Gilbert's talk show very interesting. Thank you for the many gems in your talk.
He was talking about would Roger federer win another Grand Slam title, and Roger was 33 at the time of this recording. Roger ended up winning 3 more slams so far.
Calling out Tiafoe and Opelka as rising stars 7 years ago … impressive. Ranked 29, 27 now and both still improving
Yesterday I was up 4-0 on the 3rd set, lost my focus and lost the match 4-6. I'm planning to write a book. "Losing Ugly"
Nadal is like the very talented and very athletic version of Brad Gilbert, that's why he's the most destructive tennis player ever.
Loved this. Thanks for sharing.
Wish this guy coached me in HS or College..Great person and personality!
I think Brad would change his answer about the greatest ever at 33-34, after seeing Djokovic at 34, Nadal at 34, and Federer at 34 all winning slams
Watched a 4.0 doubles match once. My guys were up 6-0, 5-0, 30 love. They lost that set 5-7 and then third set 0-6. Worst meltdown ever. I bought both of them “winning ugly” as kind of a lighthearted prank but one guy read it and he said it changed his whole outloook on the game.
Crazy that he has this style yet immediately after building coco's team she has significant improvements to her forehand. Trying to guess what his psychological approach to that was. Must have been something along the lines of "you dont need to have the best forehand, you just want to inprove it enough to play your game". Whatever it was, she was able to improve without putting more expectation on herself. She seemed so loose. Incredible.
I have learned so much from this video. Also love the insight about Tiafoe , Opelka , Kyrios , and the future of tennis.
Wow, he nailed that boxing prediction
