Have a Question for Me?

Re: Edberg

Ok let the fundraising begin...but seriously most of the players we film we film up to 6 or more matches. Particularly with attacking players, good complete sequences are relatively rare. Need to figure out how to get several matches...

[johnyandell]

Thanks for the great comments about the patterns! And yes. We've filmed over a dozen players.

Agree there is a ton there to learn--we probably don't even know how much yet...

Nadal is next, early next year. We have Murray, Djokovic, and also older players such as Agassi. Going to be a big new component in our evolution...

Edberg strokes

there should definitely be Stefan Edberg in the stroke archive. His backhand is easily top 5 of all time.

bobbyswift,

I have spoken to John about getting Stefan Edberg into the stroke archives. I'm a big Edberg fan. I know John is as well. Logistically it's tough because he lives in London. He may come to the states to play senior events, but it is quite rare. I keep hoping, and that's all I can do. I would love to start a fund to finance a trip for John Yandell and the tennisplayer.net crew to london. That would be awesome. Edberg would be worth it.

John,

I really enjoy the new patterns archive and there is a LOT to learn in a single clip. Those clips are worth a thousand words.
The way I watch tennis on TV is quite different from watching those patterns. On TV, I'm just there to enjoy and don't notice much the smallest details...

Now this helps us analyse how an all-court player like Federer plays the points.
Are you planning on filming others pros within this pattern? I think this new archive raises our tennis IQ!

[hyperwarrior]

Ok thanks

[johnyandell]

There is now a new category called Interesting Links.

John,

Is there a way to tell uspta146749877 to stop creating pointless thread?

No offense but I feel like he's polluting the forum...

[johnyandell]

Yes, coming soon.

A new Patterns Archive Section?

John,
you mentioned
Volume 5 Issue 8
November 2009

New in the
Patterns Archive:

Roger Federer
Coming Soon!

Are we going to have a new section of a yellow menu?

[johnyandell]

Couldn't agree more! Too bad he stopped playing before we started filming. If he ever plays a fuller senior schedule in the states, I'll try for that.

edberg

[johnyandell]

Yeah good call. He managed to escape us mostly when he was on the tour. There are a few clips of him in one or more of Welby's articles in teaching systems. So unlikely he'll get the full treatment. If a lot of other people feel the same, I could put up some footage though in the Interactive Forum.

Todd Martin

John, Any chance you might add Todd Martin to the stroke archive ?
He has a really good all court game that seems to be still holding up very well on the champions circuit. He also had one of the best two handed backhands of all time. I think we could learn alot by studying his strokes.

[johnyandell]

Yeah I saw that. You would have to look closely at the incoming ball to determine if it was slice. Obviously, that is not the way the Stroke Archive is set up, although there must be some if you looke through all the court level rear views. Good request though. You will be able to see more on this when we start our Patterns Archive.
