Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.39,0:00:26.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.73,0:00:30.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first thing I want to talk about is why you want to serve in volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.65,0:00:32.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did you know that Roger Federer,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.17,0:00:36.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's basically a 50/50 if he wins the point at the baseline?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.12,0:00:38.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he wins
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.48,0:00:41.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well over 60% of the points when he's at the net.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.28,0:00:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not even Roger Federer has a clear advantage when he's at the baseline.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.00,0:00:45.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.60,0:00:48.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting to the net is so important for your win-loss record,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.39,0:00:48.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.76,0:00:50.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to be able to get to the net,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.40,0:00:54.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and one of the ways to get to the net is serving and volleying.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.44,0:00:56.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first tip I have for you is to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.80,0:00:58.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,toss into the court,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.17,0:00:59.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so when you're done serving,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.92,0:01:01.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are inside the baseline.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.40,0:01:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can see that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.40,0:01:02.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He has moved
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.03,0:01:07.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside the court with his left foot by jumping onto his left foot,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.42,0:01:08.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since he is right-handed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.90,0:01:10.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now whether you jump or not,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.02,0:01:13.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you just want to toss forward into the court,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.10,0:01:14.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you are leaning
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.78,0:01:15.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.66,0:01:17.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,allowing you to get a step in, and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.86,0:01:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it helps you to get up to the net.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.39,0:01:21.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It just brings your momentum toward the net.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.62,0:01:24.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first tip to have a greater volley is to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.50,0:01:25.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,toss into the court,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.94,0:01:28.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you fall into the court or jump into the court.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.34,0:01:35.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second tip is to follow the 1-2-3 split step footwork.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.31,0:01:36.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I want to show you what this is.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.87,0:01:38.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want you to watch when he lands,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.96,0:01:40.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's step 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.43,0:01:40.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Step 2,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.03,0:01:42.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,watch Federer's feet.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.23,0:01:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Step 3,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.31,0:01:44.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then split.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.19,0:01:44.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.35,0:01:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is actually a very advanced 
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.71,0:01:46.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,split
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.99,0:01:48.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,step footwork that I'm gonna show you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.19,0:01:51.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he does two types of split steps—
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.39,0:01:53.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a basic split step and an advanced split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.91,0:01:56.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But let's get to the steps first.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.67,0:02:00.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He takes 1-2-3 steps,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.27,0:02:01.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then split steps,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.07,0:02:04.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you'll notice he split steps in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.99,0:02:08.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of players are under the misconception that after they serve,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.87,0:02:11.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they've got to get all the way up to the net or well
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.99,0:02:15.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside the service line by the time the opponent strikes the return,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.32,0:02:16.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's just not true.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.15,0:02:20.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unless your opponent is standing way at the back fence
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.39,0:02:23.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to return serve or your serve is very slow,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.75,0:02:25.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you wouldn't want to serve in volley at that point anyway,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.92,0:02:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're not going to be able to get in very far.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.07,0:02:29.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the proper
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.55,0:02:33.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,place to be when you split step is really in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.79,0:02:34.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.36,0:02:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the proper timing of the split step is to actually split your feet apart
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.89,0:02:40.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after they make contact.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.21,0:02:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So watch the opponent.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.53,0:02:43.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe that's Diego Schwartzman.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.29,0:02:46.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He returns the ball and now Federer split steps.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.97,0:02:51.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to be basically in the air as your opponent strikes the ball,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.80,0:02:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that synchronizes your brain reaction time with your body hitting the ground,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.85,0:02:57.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then it's seamless.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.77,0:02:59.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can move in any direction
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.29,0:03:00.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to go.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.29,0:03:00.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.45,0:03:00.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he actually,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.02,0:03:03.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Federer uses a very sophisticated split step here
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.82,0:03:07.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where he's airborne when he notices where he wants to go.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.40,0:03:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He knows he wants to move to his left the moment he sees this ball,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.76,0:03:12.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so he plants his right foot first.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.08,0:03:14.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that allows him to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.76,0:03:17.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,push his body in that direction
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.28,0:03:20.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to move slightly out of the way of the ball to hit his first volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.80,0:03:23.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wouldn't recommend that type of split step for
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.08,0:03:25.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,someone who is just learning to split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.34,0:03:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On this next volley that Federer's going to hit,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.16,0:03:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll see the more basic split step that you can use really
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.00,0:03:33.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on all split steps if you're just learning to split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.92,0:03:35.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the first volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.41,0:03:37.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is where people are shocked
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.76,0:03:39.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at where the pros
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.00,0:03:41.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make contact with their first volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.68,0:03:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first volley is generally hit at the service line.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.28,0:03:46.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you're hitting this volley,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.60,0:03:47.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to move through it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.24,0:03:49.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you want to hit deep,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.04,0:03:50.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's down the middle,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.13,0:03:52.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's to the open court,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.52,0:03:53.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's to behind them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.88,0:03:57.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You just want to pin the ball deep and keep your opponent back.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.83,0:03:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you volley
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.65,0:04:00.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,deep,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.23,0:04:02.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it gets onto your opponent really quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.27,0:04:04.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't have a lot of time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.59,0:04:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you can see he moves through this volley,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.83,0:04:07.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hits the ball deep,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.19,0:04:09.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now he is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.87,0:04:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ready for a second ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.87,0:04:12.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.15,0:04:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first thing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.63,0:04:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is notice where he's standing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.47,0:04:17.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what I call shadowing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.47,0:04:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If your opponent is on the left side of the court,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.11,0:04:21.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you should be slightly on the left.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.15,0:04:25.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If your opponent is on the right side of the court,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.47,0:04:27.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you should be slightly on the right.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.43,0:04:30.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to stand in the middle of their two best shots.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.37,0:04:30.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.80,0:04:33.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the middle of Diego Schwartzman's two best shots down the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.49,0:04:36.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,line in crosscourt is actually right where Federer is.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.97,0:04:38.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He is bisecting
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.61,0:04:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the two best shots that Diego Schwartzman
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.49,0:04:42.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can hit.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.29,0:04:44.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when your opponent is on one side and you're at the net,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.01,0:04:46.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be slightly on the same side,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.00,0:04:49.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you'll be equidistant to either passing shot they try.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.56,0:04:53.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next idea I want to show you is his split step.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.58,0:05:04.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You don't want to land before your opponent hits or as they hit.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.22,0:05:05.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to land just after.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.50,0:05:10.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what I tell my students is be in the air as your opponent strikes the ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.70,0:05:13.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is that more basic and conventional split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.78,0:05:15.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Watch how Federer is landing
