Great video Andrey. I've hit regularly with Madhav since he was 11. It's been very impressive to see how much he's improved the last two years, primarily how consistent his ground strokes are even as he's hitting harder and harder. He also has a little brother that is very good as well.
the real miracle of players this age is that their tendons aren't destroyed.. most kids can't play so much before they have injuries, and therefore can't get this good.
The young kid has tremendous talent and has alot of potential to turn pro if that's his goal. I am also taking nothing away from Andrey who also has polished game.
I agree; his follow thru on both wings are very similar to Sinner's. On the forehand, you see that trademark follow-thru loop, and his backhand reminds me of a hybrid between Sinner and Medvedev (notice the right arm aiding in the backhand with a controlled pull, and the right elbow placement and over the shoulder follow-thru), with emphasis on spin and control. For a 13 year old, he has really good footwork and technique. Have him put on a little more muscle/grow taller, hit thru the ball by moving forward thru the shot, and he'll be very very tough to beat.
Hey man, love the video! I'm a full-time player myself, about to start posting more on youtube. What camera do you use here for filming? It's really great with the angle and quality! Keep up the good work. Best, Simon
Love his backhand more than his forehand. That could become a dangerous weapon for him. He is more consistent and makes much less errors than on FH. Regardless he is great
viewer from ATX here. some friends of mine are planning to watch the women's ITF event next week. would be cool to cheer for you in the men's event next month!
Andrey, I have watched your videos since I saw your video on the yonex pro 97 racket. I think your foot speed is your only issue. The kid is getting to the ball quickly and is a step faster in your rallies giving him the advantage. Work on your foot speed and you will improve greatly. Your strokes are fine.
You need to travel to California to play more tournaments. Fly to LA for weekends. Play smaller level tournaments so you can get a lot of matches in. Small prize money UTR tournaments. Good luck in Austin! p.s. more videos please!
I disagree with your Utr projections about him playing like a 10utr because of the serve return handicap. His ground striking technique is undoubtedly world class.
@@andreysmirnov7461 no offense, but UTR says otherwise. He could definitely be higher than how high he already is, but the top 50 ish ranked players are 10 UTR or above. Maybe Madhav doesn’t play many national rankings, but he does play UTR so his rating does reflect his skill. I don’t think he can “easily” be number 1, but he definitely has a bright future and is no joke!
14U boys are still moon balling each other. This kid is playing 18's & Open tourneys & beating men. Taking sets off D1 players in practice. Don't sleep on him.
