7 year old boy playing tennis

[GirtopolisArashiki]

this is like wii sports....it just you swinging your arms....with no ball =P jk

[2good4utyra]

ur cameras resolution would pick up the ball....it isstrong enough, if i could see the net in the back i think i would be able to see the tennis ball. :/

[FS2004RULES]

well, come back when your balls drop, ur imaginery ones, like in the video.

[EMVEnergyDrinks]

He's so small but good power!

[FRDKNG]

Good Luck kid! I wish I was in your shoes.

[asdfuogh]

He's stepping back when he hits but he has a good full stroke.

[sajshah]

It's all to easy for parents and viewers to get carried away, by postive comments for kids at this age... see if this kid goes beyond 15??? Probably NOT.... Just being open minded and honest

[charliewuu]

no your not. your being negative and you probably heard from somewhere than kids who play at younger age wont play when they grow up. Im being honest and telling you that you're an idiot

[tennisstar9999]

Wow nice first lesson as well, well done!

[KraBauZ]

your son is playing very well... just forget the other guys they are only envious that they couldnt hit the ball like that when they were young...

[Geno98]

Yeah, that's true.

[iamafrendoffiend]

WTF there is not even a ball

[Goonerboy23]

now that is a great idea isn't it - take a 7 year old for his first tennis lesson and don't bother using any balls! of course there is a ball - the resolution of the camera on my phone just didn't pick it up

[theImaginarySolution]

every video of tennis kids has like billion negative comments saying "I would own him" or "he's a little bitch!" why we gotta hate? tennis is all about the love

[NonDairyYogurt]

I wish I played tennis at his age...

[dannitnt]

ya hed doing good

[teampawel13]

you got it kid you just pursue tennis and you will become a top ranked jouner just stick to tennis and you will be amazing

[49ers5xchamps]

This comment was for the idiot bam 7001

[hugodesautels]

itsa fake there is no ball

[Goonerboy23]

are you some sort of muppet? why would we take our 7 year old son to a tennis club, pay to get in, pay for a racquet and all the equipment, pay for a coach and then film him hitting nothing?

go check out the level of progress he has made in 18 months of playing!

[legendofnaruto]

hes been playing for 18 month? holy cow

[Goonerboy23]

since this was filmed he has played a further 18 months... this was his beginning

[HellRaiser51]

good forehand stroke

[muscle99sav]

future Pro

[lcbcity]

why is there so many negative comments this little dude looks good from what we see of the footage well done nice vid!

[okpapereat]

not better then dennis shapolov

[Goonerboy23]

if i remember the canadian boy then he is about a year older at least than marco... besides this is the first time marco picked up a racket... and finally so what, there must be thousands of other kids who are better... has the canadian boy ever played against marco? no he hasn't so how do you know who is the better player?

[bam7001]

omg polipoli7 is right he looks like 4 and dude his club neads to work on his footwork its shit!!!!!! and he finishis up at the shoulder not down by the poket wath federer not nadal he bogewipes or roddick or black ext

[49ers5xchamps]

You are an idiot. Obviously never took a tennis lesson before. The proper swing is low to high above the sholder and neck. Thats fundamentals. later on you develop your own style of swing. Before insulting the kid on his swing work on your grammer. you can't even complete a sentence.

[hentaiby]

rock on little man !!!!!! xD

[polipoli7]

WTF he looks like 4

[Goonerboy23]

Search on "Marco Tennis May 2008 speed footwork 8 years old" and you can see how much he has improved in a year.

[bam7001]

his footwork is so bad int it like crap no wours shit

[haydensith]

there not even a ball:P

[Tvmakerguy]

...... that kid can own me lol much better swing than i have

[candysweet4444444444]

wait i dont c a ball but he has a good swing better than mine hehe

[hdsox98]

kid has a great swing. i know hes only seven, but hes got to start moving his feet and be up on his toes. I wish i had started this young though, i play d1 college and i started at age 11. who knows where this kid could be if he keeps working at it.

[SalzerX]

this kid will be a legend! keep it up buddy

[LJ43094H]

Where was this filmed

[sbinsdca]

He's got potential! Concentrate on his footwork and shot anticipation. Let him know that he should always be moving when the ball is in play.

[robo4680]

yep great.yep.fantastic.yep.a real champ.not

[Goonerboy23]

this was filmed when he was just turned 7 years old - he had only just picked up a racket so how can you possibly form any opinion at this age based on what you see - look at the progression over a period of 8 months - what he is like at 7 is not reflective of what he will be like at 17

[joel4009]

ummm... actually yeah it does. Well not simple video footage but, if i knew his psychology i could probably tell. oh umm stop bitching. Fa sho. AND Y IS THER NO BALL!

[Goonerboy23]

A) there is a ball - do you think he would stand on a court and swing at air... would I waste my time taking him somewhere to swing at air? B) 7 to 17 is a long journey, a whole lot of changes and event take place that shape a child for the future... those who are great at 7 don't always stay the course, those who show nothing at 7 discover themselves later on... I agree video footage tells us nothing.

[babyboy1490]

hes good i wouldnt mine teaching him im 13 and i was playing for eight years hes good

[tambor74]

VERY GOOOD...GOOD LOCK!

[Goonerboy23]

thank you for your support - you can follow Marco as he develops because we are trying to put up a clip each month as a video diary for family and friends who are overseas. You can see more recent clips at our homepage because this is a year old now when he had just started.

[captainjay6]

u stink badly im better than u im 11

[VAkId1953]

Exactly idiot. He's 7 years old, NOT 11...I bet you suck, but you're just trying to make yourself seem more powerful by saying he sucks. Well guess what lil buddy...IT'S NOT WORKING.

[ribas3333]

my brother is 8 years old he doesnt play federated tournaments but he can beat 13 and 14 years old federated players easylly

[JoshuaMari]

wow hes pretty good

[runeloser454]

He's really good  for his age.... but if u can only make him move around a little more...

[Harun619]

[yank06ws]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LITTLE MAN.. ur ready to take on those williams sisters now

[HCNguyen86]

[thundercat90]

[karlkid15]

Hey, Good luck in tennis . Reach far and you'll go far.

[huevojodido]

cool litle dude has real future

[Goonerboy23]

thanks, your encouragement means a lot to him. he struggles academically so to find something at which he excells and loves to do is a real bonus.

[JoshuaMari]

i think he can win in the atp tour wen hes older
