Andrew vs Dillon Sykes - USTA 5.0 Men's Singles 

any time! hair on point!!!

god man u can run～

I love your serve. Looks so efficient. Not sure if it's on purpose or not, but it didn't look like you were doing a split step in general, and on net points especially. It looked like you were getting caught flat footed a lot. I think it would push your net game to another level if you incorporated that. Just to be clear though, your movement is already unreal. Here's a video of Ferrer at the net. It shows how quickly it lets him push off and react to the ball. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u2xAK9p2hIM.html I'm definitely not an expert though, so if you're not doing it on purpose, just ignore me.

@@marshallmykietyshyn4973 I just wanted to say I took this comment very seriously and have started to really focus on that. So thank you I appreciate you're insight.

Dillon Sykes awesome! I hope it helps.

Thanks for the kind words, means alot

Daniel Tobben Even we amateur players can learn tactics by watching the pros you just have to know what to look for when watching a professional tennis match. I have been fortunate to have attended many pro tournaments since the 1970’s. Watching Rod Laver play Ken Rosewall I learned change and vary spins. Laver hit with top or slice on his backhand with the same preparation you did not know if was going to hit a topspin,slice or a drop shot. They both moved into the net on balls hit short. Watching Connors play McEnroe was like going to tennis camp. They both set up points and closed into the net. They both served with lots of spin and kick not just flat serves. Connors could dig shots out of the corner an hit sky high lobs to gain recovery time. Sure he hit low percentage winners but he played the game an set score and was always ahead when he took a high risk shot. I have been teaching and coaching for a long time and always use the pros as examples to explain strategy and tactics. Whenever I hit with someone or watch anyone play I automatically assess their strengths, liabilities and consider tactics or strategy that would be helpful in coaching them or playing against them. So when you watch Professional tennis try to look beyond the aces and winners. Have fun on the court 🎾🎾

Shakeem Robinson hey I appreciate it! I list the details in the description but I lost 11-13 in the 3rd set breaker. I agree it would be great to hit with Tim some time!

i posted links to all my gear in the description.. thanks and good luck!

skeet0rz they both do

And he is the mirror image of you for game style and play. No wonder you both had to grind. Sooooooo muuuuuuch runnnnnning. :D

Thanks for the kind words alot of videos just like this on my channel as well, This video inspired me to make videos of my own

I remember this match I had like no tread on my shoes and I was sliding like a mad man!

Thanks for kind words, this video inspired me to make videos of my own

l An Lol just charge up to the net and get a good shot off the drop shot. If you get there fast enough the court’s wide open to hit to. As for at the net, you gotta anticipate where they’ll volley, track it down, and hit a shot to the open court, or a really powerful shot at their body. It’s easier said than done lol

Don't get caught 8 ft behind the baseline. And don't hit short balls that sit up high. Andrew kept returning them because his opponent hit bad volleys. Andrew had to move minimally and had tons of time to pass him. Best way to deal with a drop shot is don't put yourself in a situation where you cant deal with one and make the other person move off your shot if you get there. You aren't going to be hitting a winner off of it unless its bad. But you will have alot of angle and court to hit to its executing that is difficult for alot of players.

Depends. If the other player is close to the net. Return to the far base line. If the opposite, return with a dropshot

thanks! I've used all types they all do about the same thing. GoPro Studio, adobe premiere, sony vegas. I've spent lots of money on the software but they are worth it.

NTRP

Love the comment, I def go back and watch footage of me playing it has helped me alot

DanimalLawlz 6.0 6.5 at top D1 tennis programs.

Sachin Kolachana lol he’s a 9.3 utr no kidding

@@alexaney2810 haven't played much since college and my UTR has dropped, working on bringing it back up

It's actually not 5.0

Congrats, your sick

You are absolutely right, I remember after the first set I was making way too many errors but in turn, I ended up playing too safe, but don't get me wrong Andrew is a great player and made me work for every point

Can you do faster ? Show us !!

I actually agree. If you go watch some college tennis, that's the real 5.0+ tennis.

semi-western

Right?

willythefree yea ikr

If they're 3.5. I'll put all my money on a match where they play any 3.5 you choose...and still win.

Found the moron

jcsaclkh Either a moron or a troll hard to tell the difference. This is at least solid 4.5 tennis even in the toughest markets and 5.0 in a lot of others.

That's crazy. They're at a minimum 4.5 just with their ability to consistently serve a kick. I would say they are both competitive 5.0 on good days and minimum 4.5 on bad days.

HEY! Im not that young hahha
