because you started getting pain once i restrung the racquet correct
what are you doing
we have a new grip huh it doesn't matter it's an old-school technique anna you've ever seen this
no the new grip no nothing nothing gonna happen to the grip on her don't worry about it i'm just
loosening your strings i'm taking care of your elbow what were you asking me is it good to
play with a bandage i think it's pretty good i don't know try it yeah yeah they wear some
like they do yes yes but i think if we trace back what's happened when you got this racquet restrung
that's when your arm started hurting correct i think so okay so we loosened the strings a little
bit here anna this is going to feel better and it's gonna help your tennis elbow a little bit
good good
okay good anna good
again come
better
attack it anna go
remember put the racquet to the side a little bit earlier
when you yeah when you're running up racket it to the side here
come go again
good
and i like it
turn okay turn more on the backhand and wait hold it good
be patient on the backhand hold it longer don't open up too early okay good
good forehand come anna again open racket face here
good
backhand side
attack it anna go come come come good try
much better make sure you recover back to the baseline don't get stuck
in the inside the court good up up and now recover back it up
okay come up and recover back it up good work
get up there go and good try
all right those low ones you those low balls you still try to put some spin okay
go up to the shoulder more up with the racquet good work
backhand and attack it anna go racquet to the side okay not bad not bad at all
good good
come backhand
go again hold it longer hold on
what is wrong with my backhand
hold two things set yourself up better so you're in a good place sometimes you're a
little too jammed too tight and also don't rush it hold longer to accelerate you got to
wait a little bit longer on your backhand and then just let it go from there it's going to be fine
yes
yes ah a little bit back here it's okay
again
wild that's the old anna just a wild slap shot way out yeah it's the old slap shot
okay we gotta put some control clean up that finish a little bit okay better
okay backhand
again backhand come on turn more set yourself up attack
keep attacking anna go and now take it in the air take it in there in the air okay continental grip
please on the overhead continental and get into the trophy phase trophy position on the overhead
come closer better do it again same thing trophy please beautiful job anna nice overhead very good
keep your well keep your feet moving though don't expect the ball to be right to you keep
moving a little bit okay again trophy you have the racket too far away from your
head keep it a little bit closer in the trophy phase closer to your head
oh okay all right how about this anna lob run it down the lob is when it goes over your head too
high you can't do an overhead and it's back so i have to run back exactly but but you know a lot of
people do they attempt to hit an overhead anyway so they don't judge the height of the lob properly
and they try to attempt an overhead when the overhead is impossible and then they end up making
a mistake obviously so it's ball recognition you have to recognize that the lob is too high
for an overhead you won't be able to reach it and then just not attempt an overhead just run
back let the ball bounce and do a forehand or backhand ideally a forehand okay
that makes sense well it does but like how do you run back with the trophy position well this is a
great question the first thing you do is you turn around keep your eye on the ball if you lose the
ball in the air you're going to get disoriented so you have to keep your eye on the ball
right it makes sense okay when you run back you have to run next to the ball not under the ball
let me show you so this is the most common mistake when people get lobbed and they run underneath the
ball like this on a look and now they have to go this way that's all they can do they can do a shot
they can do a shot like this that's all they have so what you need to do when you get lobbed is run
next to the ball ideally you want to leave the ball as you're running to your left okay watch
this i'm going to get lobbed watch this next to the ball and now i can hit a forehand you saw that
very easy keep your feet moving attack it anna cmon and now volleys come on get in what about this
anna beautiful job that's how you run down a lob you see
come on on the run go control that forehand a little more and i want a cleaner finish on
the forehand better not sloppy clean again ana it's kind of like a slap shot again it's very
horizontal you're slapping the ball i like you to control this area a little more good
here we go
good anna
again up attack get in anna attack get in anna what's wrong here we go anna up and volley
again continental grip please
overhead good work nice the issue sometimes on your forehand is that the the sloppiness is right
around the contact and it's almost like you're you're slapping someone like this with the hand
like you're hitting and i see the racket coming through here and you finish very shallow here on
this side so that's why i keep saying finish clean make a clean finish like like we always practice
clean finish all the way to the top here elbow pointing forward like put more control around
the contact maybe i stopped a control because i loosen it up so it because when i squeeze and
there's a contact then it hurts wow this is kind of like let it i'm faking it yeah well
you don't want to do any extremes when it comes to tennis you don't want to hold it with a death grip
and squeeze it the racket to death but you also don't want to be too relaxed somewhere in the
middle hold it naturally a natural natural hold of the grip here put your racket put your racket like
this let me do a test put it here no no i'm going to push on the racket and put it in front like
put some put some pressure on the racket i'm going to push on it does that hurt no okay do it again
does that hurt no no okay what about what about this way it hurts okay so so i think what hold it
with my all right so see here's what happened i don't think you have tennis elbow i mean go
to the doctor and get it checked out of course i'm not a medical professional you know but i'm
telling you what it makes sense to me what happened was one of your slap shots overextended
your wrist this way you over flex the wrist and you pull something here you want to keep
playing with the with the hurt arm why don't you take just like a few days off and ice your arm
because it doesn't sound like tennis elbow to me no it sounds like a muscular thing but again
this is a reminder that even today when we were rallying there was a tons of forehands where you
you did a sloppy finish yeah so you got to control the finish you got to make a
clean finish on a clean as clean as possible maybe don't hit so hard because i told you
when you hit super hard you really lose control of the arm the arm kind of does its own thing so
slowing down helps a lot to be able to control the ball properly yeah you know what i mean all right
it's time for you it's time for you to to ice the arm okay all right sorry i'm sorry about that
