Tennis Star Junior is Born aged 6 at the Bolleteri Robbie

[machivellisucs]

Also he lets go of his backhand like b borg. My kid also started doing this on his own. Was wondering if that was ok, but I see some other kid doing it.

[machivellisucs]

Good to study the competition. Got to watch out for burnout though. My kid was getting good at hitting and pitching in bball but didn't like it after awhile. We play tennis alot right now and he still likes to practice. Thanks for this video!

[gogalop2287]

so sad, that he is trying to immitate andre agassi. let this kid grow on his own and play on his own style.

[HawaiiProTennis]

seriously?? hahaa lol

[atom57]

I use his tennis racquet!

[julesj98]

he's quite good, but your saying that he is perfect. Techinique isn't everything, agility and mental readiness are also factors in a match.

[IAMspeeder2fast4you]

ok hes no a pro you act like hes perfect

[chasemash123]

Eventually on his forehand he's not gonna want to catch his racquet. Look at pros they don't because you lose racquet head speed and acceleration

[ACCJN10]

On his backhand he should keep his left arm straight for more power

[M1kEala]

Great Video! He's got superb technique at such a young age. Would be interesting what Coach Nic would've said if he'ld seen him. My son recently won the Little Mo Intl 8 and under in Bolletierri last Dec. Good luck Robbie and keep playing!

[tony123hawk]

u noe, after hearing all those news reports and stuff, we have to realize one thing, even though some athletes are forced by their parents to becoming great, it isn't always the parents' dream, sometimes its the kids who want to do it, and y should he stop it? Even though it is those stories where parents pressure that is so publicized, it isn't always the case. Most success stories are when the athlete themselves want it, not their parents. e.g Sampras

[ZZR1400GREY]

The kid is good but the video is borring as hell!!!

[totti6761]

Hey, he isn't just good...HE'S AMAZING! However, he will not grow to become a pro, infact I don't think he'll play for too long. His parents are making a huge mistake pressuring a 1st grader this way..let the kid live a normal life. That doesn't mean he doesn't play tennis, that would be stupid because he's really good...but pushing him this hard will only make he hate the sport. Never make it feel like a job.

[haywood16]

backhand sucks

[bournefury]

I assume his parents are absolutely loaded? By the way it's Andre not Andrey, show respect to one of the all time greats.

[cridano7]

he hits fine he will be good and known at age 25

[tennisstar001]

his coach is funny the way he speaks ssiimmuullaarriiittiieess

[TheXILEproductions]

bummin the kid much?

[kingairbomb2]

my cousin is 7 and he is a real star! he win over that guy with 6-0,6-0.

he serving like a 12 year old guy same with the forehand and backhand!

[zahkara]

look to allu ppl who believe thaty its SURE that hell become a pro well ur wrong. we cant be sure that hell keep on training that hell keep on getiing better and so on

[iMagEzXz]

isnt there 5 fundamentals??

[hunkybacky]

im actually really excited to see robbie when he goes pro!

[powercise]

He hits just fine. But we have learned over and over again that this means nothing in the big picture. We will know about this boy just like all the others, by what he is doing when he is 20 years old.

[kremlinvodka40]

agrreed will see how he develops over the years.

[heater454]

using teh first L there is not good for the wrist

[cridano7]

And I forgot to say;believe in yourself little dude :-)

[cridano7]

This kid is flippin' amazing, fabulous technique!!!He must have a great coach.Technique wise he is very much like Agassi.He just needs to keep working hard and he'll be a future star.He will just need to improve his physical strength and improve his power on his shots,oh ye and his mental side to make him a fighter.This is how he will need to improve in the future to be a star!!great vid :)

[jocamaneiro1]

lol im sorry but he does not look like agassi there 3:01.... but he's rly good

[SetupTennis]

Nothing special...the kid is a dime a dozen...stay in school little guy...stay in school

[dodododa]

His forehand is nothing like Agassi's. Agassi has a modern forehand pushing off his right foot.

[laperdepaperhond312]

are they talking like this to a kid who is aged 6

[thelondondailynews]

Someone I expect his parents taught him, is he at Bolliteris now?

[kremlinvodka40]

Robbie is currently training in Spain

[Wadec]

you're kidding? by the time this guy is 19-20 his college will be paid for entirely if he keeps at it. you don't have to be pro for a scholarship, but this kid might be.

[dodododa]

Did someone teach him all that stuff, or did he pick it up naturally because it's the most effective way of doing things.

[haywood16]

another parent trying to make money off their kid

[Wadec]

or another parent making sure their kid has a physical outlet with potential scholarship opportunities

[kremlinvodka40]

Another parent trying to help his kid

[pitd3590]

@haywood16

i agree because tennis should be a lifetime sport and it should be his decision if he want to go pro or not.

[SamCoreJ]

@haywood16

Yeah, they shouldn't give him any skills to be successful in life. Especially anything as enjoyable as tennis, with an added danger of keeping fit. He can just work in Burger King or something when he's older, would be fine.

[haywood16]

@SamCoreJ He can be successful at home studying without spending $35,000 a year for Tennis prison camp.

[ru4skiing]

i went to the same camp as him Bolletieri i remember having this video

[plstrom]

very good coaching , allways so positive, that is how it should be with such a young kid...

[goblue237]

so many russians train in spain

[ssj9997]

how boring, can't u show him playin normal tennis not boring slowmo's

[coflas]

left hand in very bad position!!!!!!!

[ilovetennisrsg]

his forehand is very good, his backhand can be improved. With his forehand volley he should keep his left arm closer to his racket, so he has more control. his serve looks good

[SportsboxTennis]

Very good! I see they are working on some of his faults, but for someone without that much coaching that is pretty good.

[tenniscoach100]

great video amazing talent.

[alvarorehnfeldt2]

8:01 footfault

[xaniimax]

you had best let us see him play in the future, very soon.

[dalmatinkaslunce]

training in Orlando, Fl area but looking to move back Europe or maybe Asia.

[dalmatinkaslunce]

nice strokes. bolletieri tried to get my daughter to go to a 1 hander like he did ur son. half stroke with 2 hands then let go. my daughter already had a great 1 hander with eastern bh grip but girls game is about the 2 hander. he also said her continental grip on serve was too advanced for her age. b4 he saw her serve. next thing u hear is nick yelling out WOW great serve! do not change a thing. if you want u can see the serve in vid search Tennis Club Split ur son does hit very well

[kremlinvodka40]

yes good video your daughter is very talented how old is she & where does she train.

[somestunt]

ok he is good but how many times have they taped him getting the right shot. he is trained by pros

the vid is to long who wants to watch that slo mo stuff over for 10 min

[kremlinvodka40]

This video was Robbie first visit to Bollteri & was taped in 10 minutes & has not been edited, he had not worked with any pros prior to this tape. There should be sound with this tape However does not seem to work on u tube.

[mcgruffenisthename]

crap this kid is better than me!! hes amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[AangsterBboy]

Well, maybe he's so good because he was trained by so many Pros?

[kremlinvodka40]

At this age he has only been trained by his coach for 2 years

[Mill235]

His technique is really good for a 6 year old; but those arrows and slow motions suck

[bklyntennisacademy]

Took a look at his forehand... it seems his racquet may go behind him a little too much... keep the hand(his right hand) in line with the ball

[kremlinvodka40]

He has worked on his forehand now goes back much less, seems very common for young kids to do.

[daraemkar]

Woah, interesting backhand!!!! I'm guessing that's due to his size? I do love the shoulder turn then step they teach over there. Great modern forehand. As long as the kid quits growing RIGHT now I still have a chance : )

[kremlinvodka40]

This backhand came natural Robbie now has a 1 handed backhand since last October. I saw some other kids at the Bollteri whom had the same backhand 2 realease with 1 which seems to be natural progression towards the 1 hand backhand.

[tennissace]

This is the best 6 year old kid I have seen fantastic!!!

[tennisnut100]

Fantastic Footwork Looking good!

[jadet13]

get him a smaller raquet

[kremlinvodka40]

Nick Bolleteri confirmed this racket is too small! Kids there have full size racket at 5?

[deinedickemutter]

well i dont think u can say that a star is born....its a long way to go. but he has talent!

[kremlinvodka40]

I agree that he is very good for his age & we take this 1 year at a time

[tennisnut100]

great tape super

[tennisnut100]

super video

[leandronovaesbarbosa]

NICE VID. THNX

[kremlinvodka40]

Glad u like it did this have sound when you played this?

[kremlinvodka40]

This kid is Fantastic great technique who is his coach?
