the fact that the pickleball game 100m away is audible in this video... 😂😂

Hi Nick, your every small tips counts a lot.
Thx

I believe more players will adopt this motion.

[cliveburks]

I’ve noticed he has a very smooth flowing action as a whole, it looks simple although obviously not. I am prioritising racquet drop and lag so no waiters tray and then working on one continuous flowing action. Thanks for the expert analysis.

[heroofcomments]

Wawrinka was doing a similar type serve and much simpler too. He moves his back leg to front around the same time of tossing.

[georgesunaryo]

Just realized that sinner used to serve platform style.

[chinpak]

Not to troll but you missed a key advantage of this new motion. By delaying his right hand/arm in the motion, it has further to go in less time, meaning he has to swing it up faster which allows him to build more racquet speed throughout impact. Ash Barty also uses a similar technique.

[frankpiccione]

Still waiting for video on Taylor Fritz serve.

[yearsoldnot]

Best way to get shoulder tilt is to swing non hitting arm keeping it straight, along and parallel to baseline

[applesforakbar]

Thanks for the analysis coach. Can you go over the role and importance of going on the balls of your feet (with the heels raised) once loaded and in the trophy phase? Is this something that is practiced or is more of a byproduct of the motion?

[SophieJjishuaa]

whatsinmy AI fixes this. Jannik Sinner's serve improvement analysis.

[drift-mu]

Can you expand on why the extreme opposite, like the Iga example, is bad? I recorded my service motion with focus on my setup going into the trophy phase, and noticed by racquet lagged well behind my toss and leg move, sort of like Sinner's. So, I watched Iga's motion and copied hers because it seemed like the most extreme in terms of racquet leading the motion, and it often helps me to exaggerate when changing mechanics. I didn't know if this racquet lag I had was necessarily bad, but I thought it might be contributing to my inability to fully pronate at the ideal contact point. By the time my racquet reached the ball, my racquet face was still slightly closed and resulted in slicing when I meant to hit flat. I figured having my racquet in the trophy position earlier would help me start my swing earlier and allow me to be on time with my pronation, and it did!
As with a lot of these things, I imagine a lot of it is motivated by personal biomechanics and abilities. Maybe for me the Iga model is ideal, because I'm slow to pronate? If you think this is not the right solution, I'd appreciate any advice on how to pronate on time.

I know it may sound crazy, but it's not that crazy if you think about it (and if you watch Tennis Scientis's video "Jannik Sinner vs best Roger Federer: who would win?"): is Sinner the best tennis player ever? Would any of the Big 3 win against this Sinner? Would they be able to keep up with the intensity and speed of his game? Moreover, Sinner is improving in real time. He's a deep learning machine. Fritz, Medvedev, Ruud, de Minaur, etc... don't even look angry after losing to Sinner. They look resigned, as if they were aware that, even though they gave their all, it wasn't even enough to win a set, but at most 4 games.

PS
I'm a big RF fan and when I first watched that Tennis Scientist's video some months ago, I thought whatever... Don't even compare the King to this guy, but now... watching Sinner, I must admit I've NEVER seen anything like this before

[jorgebarbosa]

The pickleball in the background...😮‍💨

[sportsyeah體嘢]

Toss and moving the back leg at the same time… will result in inconsistent tosses for most recreational players. They don’t have enough practice like Sinner or Zverev.

[ruggierojerolli]

Have to admit. Better than Federer's...for sure and the 2nd is way more dangerous than Roger's.

But there's a bit lacking in Sinner's: Just make the ace or winner when needed the most in extreme pressure like those set points against ot mp against like Roger in Wimbledon and alike. We'll see in 2025

For the count Sinner already tallied 1/2 of one : his mp against vs Djokovic in DavisCup 2023, not an ace but a hard one.

And the debt Sinner has so now is performing in red clay as good as in hard courts.

I'm 100% he'll do. My question is if his groundstrokes hammering each and every ball with, say somewhat low height over the net like in hard courts will succeed with Alcaraz in clay. In 2024 didn't in RG.
But as Sinner keeps improving he (his team) should've already analyzed that by now.

[sportscastercanada]

What’s your opinion on Sinner’s physique? Does he need more mass/meat on the body or he’s perfectly fine?

[TennisFreakLondon]

Any shots forehand, backhand, serve Sinner go low under the ball and hit it.

[seaneckhart]

His serve pattern is the same as Lehecka

[al-vm]

Interesting changes. To me it looks as if he was trying to speed up the whole motion, Kyrgios style. Looks like it made his serve harder, morr precise, and more difficult to read at the same time. Maybe it's the Clostebol.
