Andrew vs Jon - MTC Men's Finals 2019 

Great match. I would love to see you and Jon play on a fast court, where the ball doesn't sit up for you and give you as much time to get to it. You have great wheels. Love your matches, especially with Jon.

If you watch yourself do you see some points where you move in to mid court then retreat instead of advancing. If you want to improve to the next rating you should try moving in. Just some observations from a High School Coach, PTR certified and USTA Junior coach.

All the armchair coaches coming out of the woodwork hahaha how much do you guys charge?! Can you help me go pro?!?! 😂😂😂

...young vs older once again, tough fight even if obvious result, respect of the opponent, handshake picture and smile at the end...good snapshot of what i like in tennis pas mal du tout !

I really enjoyed this camera angle and view, keep these matches coming

A new upload yay! I've been having to binge your older videos to get my tennis fix 😄

Way to dig deep in that first set, man! Solid.

Andrew, see Thomas Mederiois below. You are such a solid / fit player but my guess as to why you don't close on the net after a great approach shot is either you don't like to play volleys or worry about being lobbed? It would be great to see you add this component into your repertoire. Well done on the win.

I commented on athelets playing sports really for competition and not fans or entertainment as I see here. It's just evolved into a business as pros yet it's always competition. I became a great athlete training for me to be good as the people I enjoyed competing against in basketball, tennis, golf, etc. Good work guys.

Raining here so at least I can watch tennis!

I have some recommendations for improving certain aspects of your game. Forehand- Have to work on stepping into the ball and not hitting open stance so often. It's not good to hit open stance on every forehand you get, especially when it is sitting in the middle of the court. You seem to have trouble with midcourt balls that sit and you are not comfortable with moving into the net. I believe it all starts with having proper footwork where you can hit consistently with a closed stance and step into the ball and rip it. This will help tremendously with transitioning to the net. Backhand- Have to work on hitting open stance when on the move. You can lose a lot of time and direction when you constantly hit with a closed stance on the backhand side. You want to step into the ball when you have no more than a few steps to get to the ball. Strategy- Start learning how to construct points better. I see that you change direction often, and I think you do it too much and at the wrong time. Try practice points where your main goal is to go crosscourt on all your balls until you have a short ball where you can make a statement and punch it down the line. This is how the pros think. Have you ever played a game where you were designated to go one direction and the other person was designated to go the other?? For example, you can only play cross court and your hitting partner can only play down the line. When doing this drill, you will see that the person in the crosscourt always has the advantage. This is why it is important to control the crosscourt during points in a match, you don't want to give up the crosscourt so easily. You want to either hit a strong shot to force your opponent to make a bad decision and change direction with a weak ball or change direction yourself when your opponent hits a weak ball. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jihxS6u-WCA.html watch that clip of highlights between rafa and cilic. You will see that typically the player will lose the point when they change direction down the line or don't get the ball crosscourt enough. YOu will see that the player almost always wins the point once they attack and change direction of the short or sitting ball. This is the pattern of play that all high-level players follow. Understanding the dynamics of how pattern of play effects the way points are won will help you tremendously.

Your scoring got messed up lol it said Jon had 4 games

Net Rusher vs Baseliner.. Always entertaining.. 👍🏻 Great match amigos.. 😎 Peace ✌🏻 mates.. ☀️🦊🌕🐺😺😎

Not sure if this was intentional strategy on your part Andrew but you don’t seem to be consistently swinging out(mainly on the forehand side) in this match the way I’ve come to expect you to in your videos. Was this part of your plan against Jon or not so much? Either way a match well played as usual.

Very entertaining match! Love to see this difference in play style

Great match to watch! Jon has sick hands at the net. You had a little more pop in your serve... Way to go! Thanks for sharing as always.

Jon has early chances and then Andrew starts doing Andrew stuff and wins in straight sets - I feel like I've seen this movie before... xD

Jon was very solid with the volleys. Great game from both of you!

Jon's volleys are so good, nice win

BH slice passing shot....backpedaling FH pass....you're playing well Andrew. Looks like Jon loves his drop volleys! Is that Jukes supporting you over there on the sidelines?

Hi Andrew! I really love your content. I do have a question for you. How do you deal with "burning out" on tennis? Or how do u stay motivated?

Wow... Jon is a really good tactician

well done Andrew. in the first set, especially early in the match, were you a little nervous? You seemed to be playing just a bit tighter than normal? thx and well done.

Love your game. Consistent rally ball, always under control., stay low to the ground, beat with percentage. I try to incorporate that in my game after watching you

Congrats on another victory.

You seem so cool under pressure. Have a great sense for not overplaying the shot needed, but going for some zip in the right situation. Nice passing shots and smooth movement. We'd love to see you play down on the Peninsula in some of the summer tournaments in Hampton and Newport News if you get a chance (some clay, some hardcourt). Often the 4.5 draws have some 5.0 players (teaching pros, former college, etc.). I wouldn't be playing you though, only in the 3.5 level:) The organization is PTPA. Some aficianodos down here would be delighted to have you play.

What level is this? Looks like 3.5 maybe 4.0.

could you tell your gopro setting plz

Hey Andrew, not judging here...but for 5.0 player ur volleys have to be crisp and solid...don't u think? I watched ur matches and most of the times ur retreating to back court when ur already @ the service line. Ur ground strokes are solid and ur fast! Keep up w/the videos...nice job!😉👍

Jon was up 4-2, how did he ended up with 3-6 on the first set?

The court is not compliant with the Rules of Tennis, so this cannot be an official match. (None of your videos have compliant courts, that I've seen). Per, Section 1 - The Court: "For doubles matches, the centres of the net posts shall be 3 feet (0.914 m) outside the doubles court on each side. For singles matches, if a singles net is used, the centres of the net posts shall be 3 feet (0.914 m) outside the singles court on each side. If a doubles net is used, then the net shall be supported, at a height of 3 ½ feet (1.07 m), by two singles sticks, the centres of which shall be 3 feet (0.914 m) outside the singles court on each side." A piece of 3/4x2 trim wood costs $3US and it takes about thirty minutes with hand tools to make singles sticks. I went to a DIII school with a lengendary tennis program, and all the courts on campus had singles sticks (painted school colors, obvi). Love your channel ... but get those sticks and find out how hard up-the-line shots really are. It also makes a huge difference with wide serves (Ad court for righty/Deuce for lefty).

Nice playing! Serve at 0:50 may have been out, no?

How is it that Jon was winning 4-2 in the first set then ends up losing 6-3? That's confusing🤔

Capitalizing on his short balls by hitting out would win you a lot of points, you have the stroke. Just my 2 cents well played!

What sort of training do you do to move around the court so well.

Hey Andrew, is there any one thing you feel you need to work on?

you guys are fun to watch

Wow you’re getting better and better by the day. I’d say the biggest area you can improve is your serve. If you can get a bigger wind up in your arm and put more torso rotation forwards, it’d take a lot of pressure ofd your shoulders and add a few extra mph. Your ground strokes are on point and your movement is great though, so I think a bigger serve would take you to a new level.

Good work against a tough opponent

What was the score of the match between Jon and Kosta?

was Jon injured? seemed like he didn't serve and volley near as much as previous matches you posted. You need to have him do a volley lesson video for us, his touch is so good.

How is it that he's losing the first set 4-2 and ends up winning 6-3????

The Drop shot volley can miss a lot. I would do more shot angles.

U have great consistency but on ur forehand u need to face your racket down on ur backswing

what’s MTC?

Haven't looked at these in a while!

Team Jon here

Hey Andrew, so stating the obvious question - where’s a photo of the trophy? 👍

I miss Jon mate'

Why you never use lobs? He always stays near the net. You should attack more, he has a very bad defensive game: if you keep him far from the net he can’t do anything bc his shots are flat or slice

Come on. Pretty obvious who would win here. It’s all about fitness. The fit person will have the stamina and better footwork, easier to move around the court to win.

how did he go from being up 4-3 set 1 to losing it 6-3?

Mate, Jon was a tough opponent but Andrew’s will to Win & punishing cross court shots were too much

How do I get to play you?

With jon With 7/8 kilos Less It Will be another story. .good match

good job man....noto easy opponent, i know.

This is 4.0 tennis at best!

Aaahh... Your opponent was a pretty good player. But he was 2 steps slower than you and u are much fitter.... He had ......no chance of beating you - regardless of his style of play.... Being aggressive is they only way he could even get games

Serve and volley guy has a great drop volley but had a few volleys that he should have put away but didn't.

There are no serve volleyers under age of 50

Very tough, grueling points !!! IS this 4.5 or 5.0. Both guys very tournament tough

jon doesn't have the game to go to the net.

Best 3.5 match I've seen

This is not 5.0 tennis! 😂

dinkers....
