$15,000 professional tennis tournament, round 1 🎾

[@bmpjjaa]

Wow. This is just an insanely high level match. If you could just add some voice overs on your thought process during the match, this channel will blow up Your opponent is the younger brother of Matteo Berrettini!

[@Simon.Freund]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m gonna start adding voice overs to the matches. Posting the first one any minute now! It’s from the quarterfinals of this tournament where I take on another top 500 ATP guy 😃 Let me know what you think of the video!

[@bmpjjaa]

@@Simon.Freund 1) the title and thumbnail made me think that you were commenting on someone else's match instead of your own. 2) good intro on introducing the opponent. It would be better if you could go over your strategy and patterns after analyzing your opponent 3) you can go over how you are feeling at the moment. Anxiety over points, feeling tight. Audience might resonate with what you are feeling 4) the video might be too long in duration. Check the analytics on how many ppl made it through the entire video. 5) Talk about your tennis journey rather than just tactics of your game!

[@bmpjjaa]

Your matches are probably the highest quality on KZbin, except ATP tour level matches. However, if we wanted to watch a high quality match, we can just watch old matches of federer. Showing your journey or commentating your own play will make your channel unique. One question: uploading your matches will give your opponent an edge to review how you play right? Wouldn't it be disadvantageous?

[@rohanpuri7899]

3 free points on the pancake serve. Awesome. The under arm serve with heavy side spin is a good switch up too

[@Simon.Freund]

Check the latest shorts video I just uploaded haha ;)

[@crazyguy338]

2:32 there's the serve I've been seeing all over instagram lmao Really high level stuff and high quality footage!!

Thanks Coleslaw!! trying my best :)

You are a pretty quick player. Love the reverse serve, very well mastered !

[@GrungePopRecords]

Congratulations. Keep it going! I def wanna learn what you’re doing on that amazing serve of yours 🏆

Just so you know that is Matteo Beretini brother

[@reallypantik6283]

Yeah there are so many levels in tennis. Like hard to imagine that there are like a thousand more players who play like this and even better

[@farhatk6054]

same thought! and they are hardly inside the top 400! Tennis is brutal

[@JaffaHeckle]

Some exquisite drop shots!

[@andrehanderson]

crazy serve at 2:32 haha. Amazing. Beautiful groundstrokes as well.

[@Simon.Freund]

haha thank you man!

[@user-pk2dq6ds3n]

what an insane level from those two players, I would love to play like that

[@Simon.Freund]

What you practice you improve!! You'll get there my friend

[@chriseads7133]

It's scary how good these guys are and yet both of them would get destroyed by the top 100.

[@Simon.Freund]

Unfortunately... Most likely, yes. But if you look through my vids, I believe have an old one where I take on a top 100 guy and put up a decent fight!

love the video maybe just add a score board but other than that.... im speechless dude holy shit if u grind thiss channel this could be another great tennis channel along with tennis brothers.

[@colescalisthenics]

Both really good players. Guy in red has an awesome backhand

[@unknownentiti2351]

That's the first thing I noticed, besides that they are insane players. The only thing I can do with my backhand is defend

[@colescalisthenics]

@@unknownentiti2351 my forehand is good but man my backhand is very inconsistent. Not with hitting it in but whether is shanks high above the net or lands short for the ooponent

[@unknownentiti2351]

@@colescalisthenics My backhand is pretty consistent and deep, but I cannot attack with it at all. If I get an approach shot with my backhand either I miss it or hit a shot and back up. It's better than nothing but man I wish I could attack with it.

[@asdfghj151]

LOL watching the highlights, I was struck by how similar the player in red was to Berrettini... turns out he was a Berrettini!

[@Simon.Freund]

Hahaha yeah, they play and look very similar!! Serve, groundstrokes, movement as well! I'm sure he'll join his brother up there soon

[@daphnenales]

Incredible wow 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@parentselevesjeancocteau159]

2:34 love that serve

[@punpun2773]

You're a great player mate. I actually watched your match against Mora before knowing you were a KZbinr and followed your recent matches vs Moller and Squire. If you keep this form and grind some more indoor tournament I'm sure you'll get back to top 600 in no time. Good luck!

[@Simon.Freund]

Thank you! Small world. The match I played in the Rennes Challenger? That was a rough one... Thank you man, we keep fighting

[@punpun2773]

@@Simon.Freund Yeah, I had followed Mora for a bit and he was having pretty good form so the fact you bageled him first set on his home court was pretty wild lol. It's a shame you couldn't end it quickly with the momentum and he came back

That was fun to watch. Now I need to get out with some balls and practice a pancake serve :-)

[@brucewayne2480]

I'm an amateur but don't understand what's the difference between these guys and the top 100 players

[@Simon.Freund]

Obviously a lot goes into it. But the main thing I would say is that they don't necessarily to anything a lot better. They just do everything a little bit better, which really stacks up... Also, people always love to talk about "mentality" etc. To me, the top guys are so much better at keeping their dips shorts (maybe 1, max 2 bad points in a row unfocused). But the lower you get, that gets to 2-3, 3-4, and that makes the world of difference.
