Imagine you're practicing serves on a court, and homeboy in blue rolls up and asks if you want to hit. And he doesn't necessarily look like he balls so you're like, Okay. And then you get absolutely rolled.

@@garettmatheis933 Well, everyone who is playing league tennis is playing good enough to win against him OR at least not get destroyed by him.

They act like he is actually "good", if you know what I mean....there is 20 people minimum in each and every village on this planet who beat this guy. Keep it together.

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

I believe the commenter is stating he’ll beat most club level players which I agree with. 5.0 is a small league in Atlanta- not nearly as many players at 5.0 as there are in the other levels. Blue wins a lot- 76 wins at the time of this posting (he may have more now). How many people do you know have more than 70 wins at their respective tennis level after a few years?

Wow. Every stroke is literally text book perfect. I love the way he accelerates through the ball. His backhand slice is gorgeous. Very well rounded and although he’s likely carrying a lot more weight now, he’s still light on his feet and really shows you how top players don’t get lazy and are constantly balanced, shuffling, and splitting.

His inside out forehand is absolutely fierce. Despite the fact that he's not in the best physical condition of his life, his footwork shows beyond any doubt that he's had elite training and competition experience.

@TimTheMusicMan Год назад

This is terrible, 95% of their shots are from the baseline, it's basically passing the ball back and forth until someone misses and the baseline player is almost always using the inferior 2hbh which is the only thing 2hbh' can do, they are useless rushing to the backhand side to the net, they cannot volley, they cannot reach a wide shot, they cannot drop shot from the backhand side using 2hbh, it's an inferior stroke, but if you have todays robotic boring predictable game of standing on the baseline you will see it every single time.

Absolute beast, wasn't breaking a sweat. The amount of kick and sidespin on his serve was insane, set up so many easy balls for his partner. Feel and technique at net was impeccable. Watching this I'm pretty proud of the few baseline to baseline points I won against him.

Blue loved that pattern when he would take his forehand to your backhand starting with depth...and when you gave him a shorter ball he used more angle from his forehead to your backhand...then next opportunity he would rip a winner to your forehand or sometimes back to your backhand. He took totally control with that pattern. He has great strokes, patience, and great knowledge of how to construct points

@Belgarath777 4 года назад

The guy in blue has some serious talent. His forehand is lethal, his backhand is solid, he volleyed well, against a guy like this you have to be willing to go up the line more on both sides to make him move to open up the cross court. Also, short and low followed by deep to make him move a bit more, preferably trying that on his backhand side when he isn't already in that corner ready to hit an inside out forehand. Also, a good offensive lob when he is close to the net as I can't see him backing up that fast. Finally, if he is hitting with heavy topspin, he needs some time taken away from him by trying to take his ball more on the rise and staying closer to the baseline. You were so far back it was difficult to get the ball out of the center. Regardless, that forehand he has is just awesome. Very smart player.

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

You make excellent points. Thank you for sharing them. I have to take more risks against better players. Thank you for suggestions. I’ll try it next time. However, if I make mistake (which is evident in video), blue makes me pay with that forehand. It’s an awesome forehand as you said.

@Belgarath777 4 года назад

@@TennisTrollChannel the only way to improve is to force yourself out of your comfort zone. Take the ball earlier without backing up as much will hurt in the short term, but help a lot in the long term. Work on moving forward. That's much easier to do when you aren't all the way back deep. I'm 50, was a 4.5-5.0 most of my life, but my flat game drives a lot of the modern players crazy because I rob them of time. I also change the pace a lot and go up the lines with different spins...but I try to stay as close to the baseline as I can as taking it on the rise and learning swing volleys is critical :).

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

I will give it a try. Agassi was amazing and hugging the baseline. Thank you for suggestion. I too don’t like people who hit flat also.

hi man, first congrats for your tennis and your matches! really interesting to watch :) recorded matches are good to watch yourself playing this sport and improve what you can do better. I'm a first degree coach in my country (Italy, just to say) and, if you want, i can talk to you some tip for optimize your winning conditions during match like this. Very important is your footwork, you are often too much static and you are against a really good corners-shooter, you need to move better your feet to reach the ball. Other tip can be to try to shot in different corners, you often shot in middle of the court and your opponent can easy shot the ball where he wants and he makes sure to put you in truble. This is not good for your tennis. Well, see you next time dude. Good luck for everything!

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

Thank you for the excellent comments. I agree with your thoughts and thank you for sharing them. I hit a lot of shots down middle as I was struggling with controlling his pace and spin. I need to practice more against fast hitters with heavy spin (most players don’t hit with the spin and pace blue does). My footwork is lagging. I didn’t realize it till I saw video. Thank you for suggestions.

TennisTroll Channel extend through the shot more and you’ll get some of his heaviness. You’re not extending as much as you could on the forehand, which is why it’s more loopy than heavy. At least that’s how it seems to me

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

Thanks for the excellent suggestion. I think I’m trying to fight off his spin and trying to brush more when I should be ripping it. I’ll give your idea a try. Thanks for pointing that out- I think you is correct.

Indecisive may be a better way to describe. I wanted to hit a drop shot, but his ball stayed low. I was expecting it to pop up. I changed my mind and it was a disaster. Should’ve hit a drop shot.

@mskcrc 3 года назад

You don't have to be fit when you hit crosscourt winners on command and have a knack for controlling the pace of nearly every point. When I was in high school way back, our #1 singles player was an very overweight baseliner as a sophomore. Just consistent hitting and absolute screamers for forehands. He lost some weight and played low-end D1 I believe, but of course the talent ramps up quite a bit in the NCAA.

@basbruinsma538 4 года назад

Nice game, the guy in the orange shirt has some excellent shots. I guess, judgeing from this clip he could have scored more points if his repositioning would be different and his choice would be to play more high-percentage crosscourt.

@TennisTrollChannel 4 года назад

I agree. I struggled to control blue's pace and spin so therefore I aim for the center of the court until I could get in rhythm. Unfortunately it never happened : [

I agree and thank you for the excellent suggestions. Have been working on changing serve to use more hips and to get off the ground in practice, but it’s not ready for matches yet.
