If I were you I would watch this tape. My impression is that this would have gone a lot easier if you were just aiming 8 inches higher over the net. (Almost all your errors were in the net or just wide. You almost never missed long). Anyway I’m just a 4.5 but I think if you watch it you might agree. Also your win rate on drop shots was pretty low.

I'm not qualified to say, and you probably already noticed it when you rewatched but when you let go of that second hand on your backhand (for a slice or drop shot), you usually lost the point. Keep up the great work. Go Bruins!

Any more videos from this session?

It always hurts my heart to see a young, talented LEFT-HANDED player like Tien not appear to have developed a wide slice serve on the Ad side. Imagine if he had a left-handed version of Karue's slice serve?

Já te acompanho há um tempo assistindo seus vídeos e só hoje descobri que é brasileiro! 👍👏👏💪💪💪

Wouldn’t be Barnes without the planes overhead. Now you just have to get Marcos to bring you to Paris as a coach.

Winston needs to learn how to hit the ball a bit flatter

Another entertaining match, thanks Karue for uploading this amazing content. Learner is a great player and his consistency is very impressive. Go get ‘em in the next match, Karue!

If pro tennis was a basketball league with 30 teams you would be in the NBA

Nice footage Karue, just a damn shame you were playing under a flight path of some sort 😢

Great match so far, I just watched the first set, super close and tense, really it was for anyone. About Learner, he's a great player ofc, but I’ve noticed something, he doesn’t go forwards naturally, when he gets short or floating balls he doesn’t have the instinct to run forwards and charge the net.

Great content! I was looking for this, thanks coach!

Me encantó! Ojalá sigas subiendo de clasificación. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina! 👍

Bro! Your serve is so heavy. Great balance and weight on the back foot! Well done 👏👏👏👏👏🎾🏆

You getting to that move forward ball and attacking was so effective. Your first volleys (on the points I saw, I was skipping around, especially toward the end) were won points nearly every time. Taking the ball so early like you do allows there to be less ground to cover when attacking. Oh, and your backhand, just wow: flat, through court, taken early...butter.

Congrats! That was a good win. Your opponent was very solid.

Katie your forehand is a liability

Bro u still have to improve more ur endurance and ur physicality and ur fitness level to reach the level of endurance of ur Bro Giron

Your match reminded me of my own one earlier today. Everything you tried just didn't work. The intensity of your footwork was off and combined with his lefty game, it increased your unforced errors. It didn't help that when he needed to make a big shot, he hit it every time.

i'm sh*t at tennis but i'm glad i play it so i can know how hard it actually is.

Did you all catch the deceptive pan cake slice that got a return error… Simon being small should get an extended racket to get more service winners

You just bored him to death with a super consistent 5.0 game with foot speed only

very impressive how Krew is reinventing his game to play against these modern young guns

Good job man! You're playing strategically, which is pretty cool to watch :)

Really wish you had used your backhand to attack his forehand more. Your flat backhand to his loopy forehand would’ve gotten you some short balls. The forehand backhand rallies weren’t getting you anywhere later in the match, he was too solid on that side. Either way, your forehand is a great shot now, just think the backhand could’ve come into play more.

great clip. I can let my son learn a whole lot from your game by analyzing the details of your play.. Great job!

@33:46 called out when it was so in...

not even thinking twice about the like button :)

I had tensions @ 54 lbs will it damge the frame when hiting the ball?

29:53 - I love how you didn't want to rob him of that amazing serve he made.

He was hitting more topspin than you... There were some unforced errors. You will win next time though

Where is this at? Looks like Barnes?

Glad I got to watch this match in person! Great meeting you and watching you play, Karue!

Karue!!!!!!!!!! Keeps it real!!

Appreciate your videos bro. I had scholarships in high school to play college tennis but my knee was to messed up to play. I got sick of the sport and quit but these videos inspire me.

Vamoooo Brasil!!

Nice win ... you wore him down!!

Interesting chess match with the lefty keeping you on that forehand side and daring you to go down the line. Didn’t take him long to figure out you would rip the backhand cross court when it was there. Incredible patience from such a young player.

My humble opinion is that if you had made fewer unforced errors you would have won relatively easily in two sets.

Crazy ball was outside the line

what I see is 2 flat hitters, the other guy moving well, no serve though. after 10 min, I checked out - all the same.

You're living the dream Karue

shit place for play tennis... Planes all time landing...

Ok, 30 is not old. Do what Djokovic does (Keto diet, cryo freeze, OD stretches, and lots of amphetamines during bathroom breaks)

lefty serve gave you some trouble.

Your forehand looks so stiff sometimes. Is that a motion problem or just some nerve?

Yeyo Karue, When do you think you’ll be eligible for a 250? (Oh n FYI, ur not old!!!)😉

I watched this some weeks ago and I've been playing a lot of tennis. I had the first few matches very frustrating and couldn't serve and return on my level. Then this video popped into my head in the middle of a match, "Just have fun! That's why you do this.". Next point I put on a smile while I was returning and tried to look forward to the return with joy. I started returning better and my first-serve percentage went way higher. I haven't lost since. So thank you man!

First set was a banger!

Definitely faded early in the 2nd set. Your energy and focus just plummeted.
