Robin Soderling and Marin Cilic Warm Up -- Indian Wells Pt. 01

[israelisbest2]

soderling with the black t shirt and cilic is with the white t shire right?

[aznboi1398]

soderling slaps his forehands like a pimp slaps his hoe

[davd1986]

@aznboi1398 LOL.

[LeylaGerMert]

Marin Cilic is a amazing player. His kind of playing tennis is diffrent to all other players. I think he has definetly the potencial to become the next Goran Ivanisevic. A big Serve a great forehand and good footwork. Today he becomes 23 years old i hope and I am sure that he will have a great future his best years will come soon. Hope he have had a great birthday today. Croatia you can be proud to have such an player. Best wishes to him and all croatians from your friends in Germany

[surfjabroni]

@LeylaGerMert I think he has potential but is wasting it with bad tactics. He has a great kick serve but he never serves & volleys. He never uses a hard flat serve for a first serve either. This is crazy because he has power and is very tall. When he is losing he never seems to get determined to win.

[lordofkronos]

i played cilic in highschool and beat him 6-0 6-0 6-0

[elkabras]

Microgel Prestige Pro....Probably the best racket in the world xD

[MrTennisMenace]

They are just warming up and they have to stay 4 feet from the baseline...

[ajolson47]

what grip does he use

[explodingpimp]

Soderling overhits like 50% of his shots in this video, but he is an absolute monster on tour. Cilic... Cilic sucks.

[cj397]

@explodingpimp lol "sucks" you're an idiot.

[explodingpimp]

@explodingpimp Compared to the top 30 which he is in? Yeah, he sucks. I don't understand how he was ever No9.

[HamiltoncheaterisFag]

Cilic is a very bad player. It's disgrace he is on ATP tour.

[CeruleanTwist]

@HamiltoncheaterisFag Thank you. Cilic has the ugliest forehand I've ever seen. He just flails his wrist and hopes for the best.

[MrGreenSting]

i hope thats not as hard as they hit because it looks soft from here...well i guess its only because they are warming up.

[Gurbzors]

I need to get my backhand like soderlings..

[novola1972]

Roderling shots look a lot more stable and fluid . He is an asshole though.....

[CoDINmyHEART]

@novola1972 you are

[novola1972]

@CoDINmyHEART I am awesome , he is an asshole

[aierxiwei]

This video has a perfect perspective!

Hope every video to be like this one!

[ffallenaangel]

they make teniis look so easy

[jewbinson]

Is it just me or is Soderling hiting the ball miuch harder than Cilic on average?

[Joll3n89]

Söderlings groundies are soooo heavy, sounds like a bomb going off everytime he hits the ball.

[Manuser7]

can't stop watching this, looks addictive to watch heheh

I wish i could warm up like that :-s

[yoootooobeee]

such easy power from soderling... reminds me of safin

[rooksaiz]

Soderling's forehand is a example of a simple technique taken to its extreme limits in power and execution.

[MrModernfx]

what racquet cilic using?

[TennisMardee]

This is an awesome video. I could watch it all day

[Manuser7]

@TennisMardee yeah same !! can't stop watching

[serbtennnis3]

Ljubcic is 100 times better. i dont like this Cililc at all!!

[skate4life890]

that ball looks so heavy...

[s900203]

FYB, you are the greatest :)

[r0baa]

too flat play and Soderling is hitting out. boring

[cj397]

@r0baa these players in match will use a lot more topspin, soderling uses same amount of topspin as anyone.

[r0baa]

@cj397 no , not Nadal

[cj397]

@r0baa lol no shit.

[r0baa]

@cj397 why did you say that they hit the same amount of spin as anyone?

[cj397]

@r0baa you must be what..14?

very immature reply.

I mean with their strokes, every player at the top level hits with tremendous topspin, besides a VERY select few, with delpo being the main player that hits flatter but still incorporates very high topspin type strokes.

i'm not talking about "rpm's" of the ball dude..

[davd1986]

Soderling and his frying pan forehand. I have no idea he doesn't get injuries with that sort of shot. I mean he takes the racket back like 180 degrees. It's incredible, and his arm is pretty straight as well!

[cj397]

@davd1986 watch slow motiion vids of his forehand. it's techincally sound

[golfmaniac007]

i wish my tennis partner can rally back to me just as good

[daemonturk]

soderling keeps hitting out

[cro91Maderfaker]

cilic needs 2 work on his backhand

[z0lika]

2 clown especially CHOKERLING the fucking moron

[OneInchSlap]

wow soda's groundies are so much heavier than cilic's. Cilic is getting pushed back and his body language is tense.

[yoootooobeee]

@OneInchSlap agreed. Soderling finds power and depth very easily. Reminds me of Safin

[macedonianBLOOD17]

is cilic use the head YOUTEK MP?

[damirhota]

@macedonianBLOOD17

he use youtek radical mp cosmetics,actually he uses microgel radical mp pro stock with custom 16x19 string pattern also known as TGK231.3 strung with babolat vs gut touch 16 and luxilon alu power

[morlich9]

normal speed might like cooler but you learn more from slow motion......great video

[abcjc1]

cilic is my favorite up and coming tennis player

[joe101510151015]

wow soderling is one of the heaviest hitters on the tour. he hits it so hard and deep effortlessly

[r0baa]

Soderling and Cilic have the same racquet ! I have also that racquet

[hashamkhan16]

damn, soderling has sexy groundstrokes...you cant truly appreciate it on tv but this camera angle just tells a completely different story.cilic has a good game too. and i particularly like soderlings forehand

[alexryderr]

First Backhand from Söderling in this video is epic fail.

[napper91]

I personally like Cilic's strokes even if they are a tad unorthodox

[daraemkar]

I've always wondered if Soderling learned his backhand/forehand form from the same person. The rest of his game is very wristy but that backhand is pretty old school. I love it.

[CeruleanTwist]

Soderlings a much better player than Cilic imo...and he hits the ball freakin hard in matches O.O Robin has a really good backhand too

[ryckgrunt]

Soderling shot weights 300 kg!!!

[KalEl1402]

Hahaha. It's some like a match of Nadal vs Murray!

[wat870]

i love this camera angle! they should show the proper matches from this angle more often

[moosewii7]

get more cilic vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[NonDairyYogurt]

lol, is that you off to the side feeding balls?

[Jaewon12345]

woohoo 6 minute footage!

[sageross]

Great footage... Not everyday u get to see warm-ups so close behind the player

[bingobongo0711]

enjoy the perspective and the high quality not so much cilic´s ugly strokes.

[AllGenreMusic]

Robin has such clean strokes off both wings.

[MightyIronHead]

Wow I am surprised with how far back Cilic is.

[ChaunceyDos]

More stuff like this. Not a huge fan of too much slow mo and cutting.

[etniesengstrom]

awsome video! if you get's more of these videos plz tex. me...

[RobT89]

FYB has some high quality shit. Keep it up. I think we especially enjoy this camera view, because it gives the closest POV experience. Keep filming these please, the highest quality return.

[coachjeffl]

Watching the warm up is great. You def get a better idea of their base stroke. Instead of the match were they are reaching for everything. He steps in and finishes high which should be taught even if it doesn't always happen in the match.

[jyy82993]

Soderlings forehand aren't even going in, lol. He has game despite his ugly form though.

[RobT89]

@jyy82993 Robin this year will be better after that beat down from Rog. He should of learened

[r0baa]

wats the point with slow mo? Its like just to .... slow

[doggypoo777]

they're holding back aren't they?

[jyy82993]

@doggypoo777 Of course. This is only practice, haha.

[dewi20]

hey there

I love these vids

are you going to film any in this clay court season? cheers

[sydkneesy]

Much more suitable this perspective!

[shh90]

I like Robin's form a lot more than Marin's.

[SuaveL88]

@shh90 I like Robin's backhand more than i do Marin's but i prefer Marins forehand!

[lespaul2223]

no more slow-mo please!!

[FYB2007]

@lespaul2223 Haha... unfortunately we have a ridiculous amount of slow motion on the way.

[jeewalk]

@FYB2007 really? i liked the whole compilation of the pros hitting like last year

[shh90]

@FYB2007 noo! please dont!

[shh90]

@FYB2007 use windows vegas to increase the playback speed!

[shh90]

@FYB2007 i meant to say sony vegas

[FYB2007]

@shh90 It's a different type of footage -- the Red One (slow motion) video doesn't have audio, for example, so playing it at normal speed would still lack something

[Yosimato]

@FYB2007 You guys shoot this on RED? *_* i'd love to hang out with you guys at indian wells. I'm a film and tennis geek so shooting tennis on Red at Indian wells sounds like a dream come true

[nightwingxl]

@FYB2007 I like the slo-mo, you can see the footwork clearly - some are a bit redundant but better to have a huge stock than scraping for scraps... to bad there isn't a huge stock of slo-mo of the last gen: Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe, Borg .. I'm pretty sure 5-10 years from now someone's gunna be mighty happy to find these.

[Gondee]

@FYB2007 I love the slow motion... =)

I hope you guys have some Roddick on the way!!!!?

[lespaul2223]

@FYB2007 Thats alright. I know i speak for a lot of people when I say that I appreciate your videos a ton

[r0baa]

@FYB2007 next year make more videos like this and not soooo much slow mo!

[juanluishm]

It seems so easy for Soderling, he founds angles from everywhere. Con que facilidad juega soderling, encuentra ángulos de donde sea.

[krprunitennis]

do you have anything with Verdasco this year? even if he lost early T-T

[juankavillada]

this angle is perfect

XDXDXD

[bbchoi91]

Thanks for this perspective again

iliked yesterday's nadal one too :)

[SweetAznBro]

I like this angle

[ZKmG]

what grip is cilic using?

[hmoob7]

@ZKmG

The Ghanian grip.

[FYB2007]

@ZKmG Not 100% sure but it looks like an extreme semi-western -- index knuckle close to the edge between the 4th and 5th bevel

[AeroSpinGT]

@FYB2007 What grip does Robin Soderling use?

[federerownsall111]

much better to watch than slow mo!

[kaszap]

perfect angle, perfect quality and perfect video length! Keep it up!

[doublea422]

i like this camera angle!

[Nerderline]

I hope there will soon be a video of hitting from Sod's back perspective.

[tennisproderek]

cilic's backhand looks awkward

[shivex]

cilic forehand, the racket drop, looks a bit weird, like he uses only his wrist to create racketspeed.

What are your thoughts about this?

[breek1]

@shivex i agree and i also think his backhand is kinda gross because hes bending his left elbow, i like it more and its better for reach when you use a straight arm twohand backhand

[d0min0danc1ng]

Yes Phil, keep uploading vids like this enough with that slo mo stuffs those are for rookies. We ain't rookies. Me like. Me thank you.

[kenisinoregon]

he makes it look so easy lol

[prattle128]

this is EXACTLY the kind of videos I want to see, thank you so much!!

[HaItsMeaks8]

perfect video quality

[chizzle4235]

i like it
