Dolgopolov has a technique?

@sarasmilepiano and thus cause less stress on their body. Rod Laver would have been a champion in any era- regardless of physical stature- as he had the skillset and a great mind for the game.

@tarheelace I understand where you are coming from but you fail to acknowledge that the technology of rackets and strings can also help the "smaller" players as well as the bigger ones. Nowadays, the technology being what it is, players don't have to take big cuts at the ball to make it go. And the smaller guys can create tremendous pace by taking the ball earlier and imho is less injury-prone than the larger fellows- makes perfect sense since they weight less

@tarheelace What are you talking about? You're only a product of your own era. If Laver was born in 1991 and picked up tennis, he sure as hell would have been a fantastic tennis player. This is besides the point, you used Nadal and Roddick as power players, when Roddick especially, is the complete opposite today. Stop living in 2003/2004.

@MaratSafinVideos , elbow and wrist that the modern strings, racquets and strokes impart to the body. So a small guy like Dolgopolov might have a few flashes here and there, but the upper ranks of the modern game are going to be dominated by strong guys like Tsonga, Nadal, Roddick, and, yes, your boy Safin. Nadal may not be a "power player" (and I never said he was) but he is reported to hit an extremely heavy groundstroke and there's no way a Dolgopolov can do that match after match.

@MaratSafinVideos Here's what I said, "He's got to do that to stay in the game with the Tsongas, Nadals, Roddicks, etc. In today's power game." What you may not understand is that the game of tennis has been transformed by modern racquets and polyester strings. The small-framed player of the past, like Rosewall, Laver, Ashe, etc. cannot have much of a career in today's game as the upper body just can't take the rotational forces to the spine and the forces on the shoulder, contd

@tarheelace lol at using nadal and roddick as examples of 'power' players.

@tuber123asd 1) he slows his stroke before hyperextension and 2) injuries occur from bad form.Many players do no.1 and are not injured.Many players have bad form.Dolgopolov is not one of them.Why state the obvious if it does not apply to the player in question.Its a pity you had to stoop to such levels as to call me a retard and an idiot just to argue your point.I wont reply next time as I dont want to give you a reason to keep posting stuff that is not relevant to the video.Great video!Thanks!
