He's constantly like that. Players probably know it by now and know if they can hang in there and just frustrate him he might give them the game for free ^^. I'm not saying Chung got a free win but I think even a player who is far worse than Zverev in skill could beat him if they can frustrate him enough. The fact that he hasn't gotten a grip on it yet after it's been a problem for quite a while now is a sig that this might be the thing that tanks his whole career. He will never be a great player unless he gets this under control no matter how good his game is. His coach must have told him by now, maybe he just doesn't want to listen idk. He needs someone to help him ^^. I don't really care I'm not a fan but it's so obvious idk why it hasn't improved.
I think it's about mental stamina now. Last year, he didn't have the physical stamina in BO5 matches, and it showed when he ran out of gas to Rafa. His physical fitness has improved, but he can't stay mentally strong in long matches. In BO3, he can beat anybody, but he can't get it done at slams. And it showed in his last two slam losses to players from his same generation. Coric and Chung might not be ranked as high, and don't have the Masters titles, but they have the mental stamina to last in a long match.
hi Internet. I didn't realize you could comment & stuff. I'm not that computer savvy, but i always just figured you were like a program or something. what are you, like a robot?
5:47 it's so interesting to see how little faith zverev has in his forehand at this point in the match. He is literally running around to hit backhands and when he finally hits a forehand, he dumps it into the net. It's actually kinda funny because Chung kinda realizes part way through, and decides to just give him a forehand to see what he does with it...and is immediately rewarded with the point and the break.
a lot of Players have the talent to Play within the top 10, the key is to be constant over a long time, it's the same with Thiem, they can beat everyone but have not yet the thing it takes to be one of the biggest
I disagree. He has talent enough to be a successful pro tennis player, but I don’t think he has talent enough to be a great player. You’ll see things like this with zverev, goffin, krygios, thiem and dimitrov. Up and down losing to players similar to them. The great players have that bit extra that distinguishes them from everyone else. I just don’t see it in these players. It’s more than just mentality, sure it helps, but if the ability isn’t there then the player will always struggle no matter how perfect their demeanour is.
to be fair, chung initially gives up on the shot, which is what zverev reacts to and why he starts to apologize for the net cord. But then, chung suddenly realizes that he can get it and suddenly sprints forward after initially slowing down and zverev is caught off guard.
I agree so much. He's got a really strong mental game, and he ran every point. His strokes are ok, but with that attitude and those legs, I see a future top 10.
1000 subscribers with videos. Did u see what even happened? At the time he was in the middle of both singles and doubles open so he got huge blisters on his feet you should have seen
Smashes racket >>>>> doesn't win a game after. Justice . I like Zverev but he must not believe his own hype. What was he playing at doing tippy tappy shots when Chung was at the net ? Did he think he was playing a club player or something ?
Ryan Sodhi how do you people you've never met haven't played a competative match? Don't assume anything unless you know for a fact. Your reply is already wrong
My bad , well in the game of tennis especially during matches U get agitated several times and can go to a certain extent of cheapness to get the better of ur opponent , take Hewitt for example in his famous Davis cup match
The point at 5:12 just highlights why Chung is so good. Makes a really nice defensive backhand cross-court, sprints really fast to get to Zverev's drop shot and then slips but reacts quickly to hit a volley and ends up winning the point. His speed, athleticism and anticipation are awesome.
Sascha will not win a GS until he controls his temper. He acts as if he's a level higher against those nextgen. He hates losing to nextgen peers. Chung will win a GS sooner than Sascha does.
I don't know about chung winning slams but, the point about sasha was absolutely spot on. I fest the same when I was watching the match. Temperament and attitude are so important in any sport that especially at the highest level
Chung is so underrated. Hes a brilliant player. He was undefeated in next gen ATP Tour Finals last year. A very deserving winner. There would be quite a few worried big guns in tennis.... the way Chung is playing. Chung has dispatched both the zverev brothers this australian open. Im sure they are livid 😊😊😊 sascha zverev has of late started behaving like a diva on court. He sounds and behaves like maria sharapova. Good looking but a sore loser
tennis is game of polite people. He should be control his unethical and unnecessary emotions, otherwise he can't be a champion and even he don't look like a champion because a psych can't be a champion. D.thiem and he is age fellow but Thiem is much better than him and of course this asian guy rocks
Josh Smith Think before u judge, bruv. He had a long heated argument to turn the light on on the court due to darkness over the period of 4th set. Imagine a guy that young under the knife of media with a huge expectation losing such an important match for darkness. When Roger had similar darkness issue in Wimby 2008 final, many peoples mocked at him. Sure now Sascha will understand it better.
How come players from non-english speaking countries always say come on or lets go in English? Only a few players like Nadal will say Vamos, or the French players 'Allez'.
This is genuinely good question. I was curious about this when I started to watch tennis, like 10 yrs ago, but then I just accustomed to that and forgot about curiosity. Perhaps they do it so that crowd and opponent could understand? Not everybody does so though, for example Radwańska shouts often in Polish "Trzymaj!" which stands roughly for "Keep it!", but she is addressing so herself, not opponent, so its not rude by any means.
Because most of the players that come from non-tennis related countries such as korea are raised and trained away from their hometown. Example: If you were born in Taiwan but you moved when you were a teenager and learned tennis in say the UK, you are most likely not going to say ''come on'' in chinese. They either learn the new language or resort to english for that matter.
In table tennis, where the Chinese dominate, European players (even club level) will shout "Cho Le", the Chinese way of saying "Come on" (not that it really has that meaning). It's ridiculous.
Bruh did u watch the match? Chung doesnt apologize for a net cord that leads to zverev miss right after, in break point for him. Zverev always apologizes. Chung celebrates every unforced error, u shouldnt care if Zverev yells back
Wow, Sascha behaved like a brat in this match. I like him a lot and see a bright future for him, but he should be more relaxed and have some more respect for other players.
I think Chung has the most potential among young 'Nextgens' because of his strong mentality. He's definitely got the strongest mental among these young players. look at his stableness compared to zverev. Also other young guys lack this. (ex: Andrey Rublev, see his match against Dimitrov )
In the public school where I volunteered to teach tennis to kids, we take turns with the rackets because not everyone had one. And here, spoiled brats just destroy them because they have a lot of rackets to break. I wish instead of breaking them, they could just give them to schools that don't have funds to buy tennis equipment.
I haven't been too invested in NextGen players whether it's Zverev, Rublev, Khachanov, Shapovalov (just realised they all ended with 'v'! lol) etc. but I really, really see huge potential in Chung. His game is very exciting and his mental game is already up there. Not one point did he crack or doubt his game. He kept it together which not a lot of young players do very well. Zverev is a great example above. I think people spoke too soon about Zverev (saying he will be the future no.1) and at this moment, I disagree. I've seen a few of his match highlights and let's just say, this is not the first time he's broken mentally.
3:42 let's go 6:03 let's not go 6:55 let's not go at all There's what happens when you underestimate and disrespect your opponent. 7:02 didn't mention Chung wears brases btw
Fantastic movement and balance. Chung's fitness is amazing - he looked like he was hitting the ball harder in the last set than he was in the first set! and after a 5 set match he still looked completely fresh. He will take some stopping! Don't think Zverev lost this but rather Chung KOd him!
Hyeon Chung needs to study Federer more than Djokovic. His style is more similar to that of Federer. He would be unstoppable, especially considering that he's only 21!
I adore Chung! He is going to be the future Number 1 in ATP for many years to come when Nadal and Federer eventually retire. He is so solid and modest! He is going to beat Djokovich! And many many hugs to South Korean brothers! I'm proud of sharing Asian roots too:)
Chung's biggest achievment will be top 10 but he won't be in top 5 even. The future number one when the big 4 retire will be people like Dimitrov, Zverev, Thiem, Shapavolov and some others.
Chung hits backhands like Djokovic and forehands kind of like Marin Cilic (less powerful right now). He's definitely going to be a grand slam contender soon, if not this tournament!!
nice channel this; i like the intro too with the guys, the expression on their faces before the game; would be nice if it's a tiny bit longer on average
I can't wait to see Mr. Hyeon Chung in the final 4. Can he really get that far? Superb play so far, especially so much confidence and poise throughout this match.
You may be right, Ankith P. but they said the same about Stanislav Wawrinka a few years back at AO, or Kei Nishikori at US Open. Besides, Tennis deserves to have some new and memorable "WOW: emerging star rising moments" to keep things exciting for us enthusiasts. BTW, who took out Djokovic last year?
Oooooouuuu! I did not know that, Anonymous... Oh well, Chung has got to believe what he is capable of: A small easily forgettable upset, or a series of geometrically expanding aftershocks... That's why they play the match! Let's hope it won't be a let down.
EMPOWERMENTalist he's playing Djokovic tomorrow. If this had been 2016, I would have said Chung had no chance......but now Novak's form just isn't at it's peak. I'd say he has much better chances now. And if he beats Djokovic, he might just make it to the semis. Tomorrow decides everything.
Hyeon Chung; in skill level, he's like a young Korean version of David Nalbandian. He knows how to construct the points, not just hit balls. Zverev didn't take Chung seriously enough, which is why he was smashing his racket.
Djokovic v Chung will be interesting. Chung is not up to novak's level yet but novak is still not 100%, so a player like Chung will be a challenge, he moves extremely well, gets a lot of balls back and is very solid overall (epecially his groundstrokes), so djokovic will be tested.
Yes, I was wrong. But I did come to this video after the match and expressed my congrats to Chung for great victory and wished him luck. It's just attached to someone else's comment.
Here, I found what I actually wrote after the match. I will repeat it once again. Congrats to all of you who cheer for Chung. He is a great player. Well deserved win!
Zverev's "Let's Go"s just sound so arrogant and makes him look like a total douchebag. And then when he loses he smashes his racket lol. Definition of immature.
Zverev a talent. But your mentality is like a children. Your "Let's Go!" was very borry. :/ I hope that will been more health mental next Grand Slam's.
