The Rhythmic Forehand
Using the SportsCAD Analysis package, Doug King breaks down the forehands of Nikolay Davydenko and Marin Cilic and explains how they generate so much power. Doug demonstrates how a non-linear racquet path uses angular momentum to create maximum racquet speed at the point of contact with very little effort. There's a lot to learn here for club players who want to generate more power off the forehand wing.
Deliberate Practice
So how does one become good at tennis? This is a question on the mind of many tennis parents and players. Is it only the ‘talented’ players that achieve success? The truth is, talent is largely a myth. All sport development experts have confirmed the 10 year/10,000 hour rule to mastery. There are no short cuts to player development, but just mindlessly hitting balls on the court hour after hour will not get you on the pro tour. Wayne Elderton
Oudin Still Believes, But is a Question Mark
Melanie Oudin continue to confound observers, those who believe that she has top 20 stuff, and those who think that her inspirational run to 2009 US Open quarterfinals last summer was just a flash in the pan. For a player who primarily relies on foot speed, fight, a sizeable forehand and consistent backhand, there is almost no explaining some of her victories, as well as some of her defeats. Matt Cronin
ProStrokes 2.0 – Marin Cilic's Forehand
This 21 year old has been on tour for five years, but he got everyone’s attention at the 2009 US Open when he outplayed Andy Murray in the quarters, losing in four sets in the semis to eventual winner Martin Del Potro. Currently ranked 9th,he may be poised to climb much higher. Marin has notched wins in 2010 over Roddick and Del Potro as well as Nadal in Beijing in 2009.
Big hitter, clean strokes, a bit of a kick serve motion, but the young guy hugs the baseline and bangs the ball to the corners, and fearlessly I might add.
