Stan won 100% of his first serve points in the first set.

On 32% too

Imagine losing 6-1 to someone hitting 32% first serves in

Zverev showing some heart.

Won the second and broke Stan to open the third.

Won 100% of HIS first serves in the second.

The match isnt good quality. Neither have played well at the same time

Stan is done

He doesnt have the footwork to stay that far behind the baseline for this long against someone like zverev

Zverev is timing his first serve when it does go in now and thats all she wrote

All this talk is for nothing... no one can beat novak at this AO

Surprised Stan lost that only because zverev usually chokes. Thiem or Nadal should roll him

fukk all that

Whats wrong with your forehand

What grip do u use

Etc

 

[Formerly known as...]

My forehand randomly was trash at one point too. Kinda like chuck knoblauch. The shyt was broken

What is your current grip?

Eastern grip. I messed around with semi western to try and improve it but I think eastern is my preferred.

I think my problem is not using enough spin and going for ground shyts that often just float out. Maybe timing also, it's frustrating as my backhand was trash as a kid now forehand has lost its way

 

[Formerly known as...]

I think I need to come across the ball more rather than under it? If that makes sense.

Ok..im more semi western but pivot to eastern sometimes

You gotta make sure youre using your wrist on your swing. Pretend your slapping someone on the back of their head. If your shot is floating long then youre either not brushing on it right..or your contact point is too low.

How often do you play? Whens the last time you got your racquet strung?

If you have access to a ball machine then go rent a court and just pound forehands for an hour or so

Its easier to topspin it semi western than eastern but its easier to flatten it out eastern. If youre looking for more spin then maybe give semi western another shot

Just for clarification..eastern is index knuckle 3rd bevel semi western is index knuckle 4th bevel

Honestly its hard to really say without seeing what youre doing out there

Just definitely dont overthink it or slow down your swing cuz youre shook of hitting it long. thats just gonna be a band aid at best and probably make it worse
