Samarai Groundstrokes - Sammy Q.
Posted May 4, 2009 – 11:07 am in: Tennis Instruction Happy Monday Everyone!
Hope y’all had a great weekend…
I cam across an old video here. It is of Sam Querrey practicing with his old coach, Grant Doyle.
As you can see from the video big Sam can move really well on the baseline. He stands at 6 ft 6, but moves like a solid 6 fter.
We worked hard on his movement and it was a combination of indoor and outdoor work, as well as on court agility drills. Watch how Sammy split steps just at the right time. This allows him to react to his opponents ball and flow to it naturally.
I believe the strength training he did helped him attain a better center of gravity due to a better core and increased balance.
Sam knows how to work hard and to be a professional. We’ll be seeing a lot more of these in the years to come!
