Great video! I don’t mean to sound negative, but eventually, don’t you think it might be time to be honest with yourself and consider stepping back from tennis? It might be worth focusing more on what you’ve mentioned before your business and your relationship. It seems like pursuing this tennis dream is causing you a lot of stress, and, to be honest, the results just aren’t there. Don’t get me wrong, I admire your positivity, but at some point, you’ve got to ask yourself if it’s worth the significant amount of money you’re investing without seeing the returns. Just some thoughts from someone who’s been following your journey for a while!

I agree with most of the sentiments in the comments, here. You say not to force the issue, as that's when mistakes happen. But honestly, I feel that you do need to force the issue more, by moving in and taking time away. Beat him at YOUR game! Let him adapt to you! And not try to beat him at HIS game. For example, you've been working on your volleys, and you say you've improved in that area. So use them. Attack your opponent and finish at the net. Make him uncomfortable.

You talked about not winning many matches lately and your confidence and your believe in the process is high. In psychology the research tells us the more you win the more likely you are you win in a future match. However, the same is also true for losing. The more you lose the more likely you are to lose in the future. Of course a player is unlikely to loos every match or win every match but winning creates a higher chance of winning again. Now you say of course that logical. but here is the psychological trick to get winning more so the brain starts to like the feeling of winning. Start with setting win goals you 100% can win and this could be as simple as walking faster to a certain point than another person (they are unaware its a competition) the brain doesn't care where the wins comes from as long as you tell it, that's a win. During a match you can have little wins ( you do this already for example, when deciding where to return a serve) within the overall big win the 'Match'. Doing this over time you build up a very natural winning mindset that is rooted in winning but another massive upside of learning to use this technique is that it builds a very high level of resilience to failure. It's resilience to failure during a match that allows a player to get their wins and ultimately match wins.

@sebdijkema83995 күн бұрын
I think your ballstriking is amazing, but whats lacking to beat these types of players imo is that you rarely come to the net to finish the point. There were many instances where you moved your opponent well and he got back in the point with a high slice or slow high ball where you couldve moved into the net to take time away and finish the point. For example at 4:59 and 5:03 youve just hit a great deep ball forcing him out of the court and you stay on the baseline. I know you end up winning that point with another good forehand, but I think it would be very useful to come to the net more often. For example at 7:30 you do it very well. This can be the key to beating these type of opponents

Hey mate, unlucky in your match as you had chances especially in the 2nd set. And your opponent looked like a nitemare to play as he got everything back heavy and hence forcing you to win points playing aggresive rather than him giving away cheap errors etc. Keep going mate as you will get your breakthrough👊 Glad to see you're cheering yourself up at the end with a coffee( I'd be doing the same😂) legend👊😂☕️

There were so many instances where you could’ve been looking for that shorter ball being a little bit inside the court to dictate on your terms but you played to his strengths and just engaged in these long rallies. Yes, rally when you need to but also apply pressure when you can, and over time by applying pressure and coming in it’ll make him uncomfortable and potentially come up with some errors. You’re more of a shot maker player, at least from my perspective, so take those opportunities when you can. That way when you hopefully make some rounds of tournaments you aren’t going to be dead in the ass from unnecessarily playing long matches because of hesitancy to move forward. Some food for thought. Nothing personal mate, keep grinding.. love the content.
@megowopwop85455 күн бұрын
totally agree. need to take more risk, doesnt move well enough to trade feom the back with guys like this. Has a great serve, if I was his coach I'd make 80% of practice, serve, serve +1 and all volleys. Hope he can have a great year though. Wish he'd drop singles and play dubs, has the perfect skills for dubs.
@TennisAddict835 күн бұрын
Totally agree. Waiting for the ball instead of stepping in gave your oppnent chance to recover. Take time away if you can (look at Australian Open how often they step in and close with a volley). I think that also suites your game style (you also improved your volley). Don´t take it personal. I love your content and want to see you succeed! Greetings from a german coach!

Hi mate! Unlucky in your matches but you were striking the ball really well and I just think all you need to improve is point in and point out level consistency and a bit of match play confidence. Once you get a win or two, the wins will start coming like buses😅👊 The coffee looks incredible in Spain and I agree, for the most part, UK coffee is pretty average. Nero's is probably the best coffee house😅 Coffee takes priority over everything😂 Keep battling mate as the break through will come soon enough👊👍☕️☕️☕️

You were playing well. But I've been wondering something. Do you think you're able to get the ball through the court as fast as you were when you were using the RF97? Seems to me that your ball is a tad bit slower though the court. Which would make sense if you're now playing with more topspin and not flattening out your shots anymore. It's giving your opponent more time. So it has me wondering if the switch to the Extreme Pro was a good thing or not. Only you know the answers to these questions. I'd love to hear your thoughts as I too am seriously considering switching from a heavily modified Pro Staff 97 V14 to the Extreme Pro for more power and spin.
@seanplaystenis9 күн бұрын
It’s a good observation, I think the shots that were really penetrating the court were more affective with the pro staff, but my kick serve forehand and backhand feel like I have far more control, I think I will up the weight slightly. The extreme is far easier to play with in windy or more lively conditions

@seanplaystenis I don't know if what you taste is because of this, but being from Portugal and living in the UK for a while, I would say the answer to the coffee thing is the fact that Italy(not sure), Portugal and Spain use what is known as Torrefacto Coffee where some sugar is added in the roasting process. I think this comes from the spanish civil war times to preserve coffee for longer. This could be the answer to a more intense flavour you noticed.
