I prefer Federerβs and model my forehand after his based on my style of play on hard court, but Nadalβs must be tough for opponents to handle on clay.
A couple of days ago I commented that Djokovic will never be the GOAT even if he wins 10 more majors…and added why, however my comment has been removed!…why?
His forehand is great, but do a video analyzing his backhand. It’s the best two handed backhand of all time and should be studied. I play with one handed backhand cause it’s more natural for me, but Novak’s backhand is simply the best
Actually no. I’m a big Novak fan, but his Fh still has a small by key flaw that has played a big part in this yr being off. His Fh is much better than it was early in his career, but he still hits slot entry late in his forward swing, which gives him issues for hitting a rising, fast incoming ball. This leads to a tendency to hit them long at the worst moments.
Kids and beginners that’s how you should play forehand.
Don’t just copy Federer π and finish your follow through at your chest, take it to shoulders. Federer has years of practice he knows what he’s doing, you don’t
Yes but textbook only for UTR 3.5 and below…
Advanced players always trying to contact the ball even more in front because they want to 1.take the ball early thus taking time away from the opponent 2. create space for more acceleration and angle maneuver.
Djokovic’s forehand contact point is kinda jammed for a big guy like him tbh…but I guess that works for him well.
In essence, Pete Sampras with his unparalleled serve & volley plus his running forehand, in my opinion, is the GOAT…At his peak, Roger Federer who has the most complete game, would have beaten Djokovic as well…
It doesn’t matter if Djokovic wins 5 or 10 more majors, he will never be the GOAT…remember, we are talking about at peak level…
I have a problem in the ending part of the forehand, like… I hit in the contact point, but my hand doesnt flow to the back like Djokovic does, any tips for that?
Djokovic will never be the GOAT even he wins another 10 majors…yes, he dominated the last 10 years or so when he was at his pick…however, i will take Pete Sampras at his pick any day with his unparalleled serve and volley combination and his deadly running forehand…Roger Federer, the most complete player, at his pick would beat him too…
To play this shot, people should understand, it works because he has agile body and core strength for which he worked his whole life. People should build fitness as they are learning to play tennis. Playing tennis wonβt make you fit, rather you need to be fit to play tennis.
One point not seen here is his awesome footwork and ability to stand perfect to the ball most of the times.
I’m not sure, on top, if there’s one player to surpass djokovic on (at least, it appears as such) striving to be top notch in every single department, not only technique, strenght and fitness, but also nutrition, tactics, preparation, working on "weaknesses" and so much more, even besides the court. I also like his attitude to speak out true to himself. He is a perfectionist like no other. Therefore it totally boggles my mind that he still has visible proplems with his overhead smashπ maybe he has a depth-perception problem with balls up in the sky, where there is no "reference" point?

Depends on whoβs text book
Not so good
It’s not the most text book forehand. But it’s right after Fed’s.
Not textbook no. His left hand isn’t tracing the ball. At least not in this video.
Sorry, but watch Rogers.
Such a laborious and ugly stroke though.
Similar to rafa and roger…These 3 all have the same swing rotation… Prove that it’s the best technique possible on how to hit a forehand

It is quite disappointing that someone has deleted my comment on Djokovic!…So I am going to rewrite it again!
The most stable and versatile forehand ever…..for me the standard and best forehand ever.
He holds the throat for an extended period to guarantee the shoulder/unit turn. A subtle element that all can try.

Western or semi?

Sinner is similar with more arm and shoulder motion. More flexibility due to younger age?

Prelipo…
Djokovic is too famous
Yes but textbook only for UTR 3.5 and below…
Advanced players always trying to contact the ball even more in front because they want to 1.take the ball early thus taking time away from the opponent 2. create space for more acceleration and angle maneuver.

So satisfying to watch.
Federer
No. Federer is textbook.
Comment negatively when you’re as good as he is!
One of the best forehands ? True, but textbook ? His grip is anything but textbook!
It is a consistent forehand. I will give him that. But in terms of power, generation and aesthetics, thereβs a lot to be desired.
In essence, Pete Sampras with his unparalleled serve & volley plus his running forehand, in my opinion, is the GOAT…At his peak, Roger Federer who has the most complete game, would have beaten Djokovic as well…

No knees?
pure balance
The GOAT…π
His forehand is frequently underestimated because his Backhand is too good, but I think his is one of the best, at least better than Del Potro.
Best forehand is from Roger Federer.
Such a beautiful stroke! Heβs the GOAT!π
Smooth asf
I have a problem in the ending part of the forehand, like… I hit in the contact point, but my hand doesnt flow to the back like Djokovic does, any tips for that?
Where can I find the textbook? Can you tell me textbook name so that I can read it?
Thanks! I subtracted the body coil, and using just the arm, I have a half swing, half push, pusher forehand! I’ve never been so steady!

Pretty good but the most textbook forehand Iβve ever seen came from RF

very good for players to model after. Both Rafa’s (western loopy) and Roger’s (eastern aggressive flat) are incredibly difficult and unique
what is surprising me is that i am not sure Djokovic have "just" one forehand.
as Alcaraz this guy can give many varaitions of volumes, paces or effets with this hot.
more than many other even among the big 3.
looks so easy than a golf one
I have modeled my forehand after Federer and my error rate is also higher like him.
Federer has the best
It seems not compact swing , isn’t it?

Its not a heavy topspin forehand, he hits pretty flat or at least looks like it here
