8.9 UTR Junior challenges USTA 5.0 Adult!

[@12GaugePadawan]

Great game y’all! Here’s a little bit to help Patrick tear up the court even more. 👍🏻😀

[@global1st1337]

Man this kid has so much potential. Can't wait to see him play more

[@jkbharrison]

Patrick is an awesome player. His volleys, drop shots, and return of serve are outstanding. He definitely mixed it up and really had Hermont off rhythm. Makes me wonder how the match would have gone if the rain didn't happen. Hermont, though, seems like such an optimistic guy. He never gets down on himself and keeps a smile on his face no matter what. I really believe that mentality is what put him over the top. Oh and he started serving like Samprass for the latter half of the match.

[@HappyPenguin75034]

Are you kidding. Did you see all his pancake swats.

[@philippzeuner3891]

Great content Winston and also great way to support young kids in the club! Definitely want to see a rematch with the new shoes :D all the best

[@zachhoward1473]

I really liked Patrick’s game. Such a great mix of shots. You could tell it kept Hermont off rhythm. Refreshing to see someone who isn’t just a baseliner.

[@payamirani5298]

Get Patrick some new shoes. Great play by both.

[@jjacinto1993]

@payamirani5298 I need some new shoes as well.

[@payamirani5298]

Great match! Here’s to new shoes. :)

Patrick seems very good for a 8.9. Great match! Also some close calls from both sides🙃

[@HappyPenguin75034]

He is bad hacker.

[@robertorolfo]

Can't believe that dude called the ball out at 4:08 especially in the first game, and returning. Just be an adult and give the guy the ace he deserved.

[@venktennis]

Thanks!

[@pencilcheck]

not sure if it is camera angle again (which is weird as you can see the shadow on the line), at 6:44 patrick called the ball out but it looks in to me

[@ddhh1270]

Hermont sounds like a highly strung person. Talk speed in words per minute is impressive.

[@devpatel7154]

Nah fr. Thought it was sped up everytime I hear him

[@cortezbrown6838]

Winston's face at 1:53 when Hermont is talking about pelvic thrusting is the funniest LMAO

[@ddhh1270]

Patrick has good hands and a nice slice which is unusual today. Hermont felt the pressure against the younger opponent.

[@MrFunkyko]

Surprised Patrick said he is dominantly a doubles player. He’s super solid from the baseline and would do really well if he continued playing singles

[@geld5220]

What video!!! Awsome - Glad I stumbled upon this gem. I love it when regular looking rec players can elevate their game like this. Im sure if they go full-time they will look like the pros soon enough.

[@geld5220]

But those line calls can be a bit frustrating. But happens some times.

[@highsocietyskate]

Great set!! Patrick has some superb early preparation and footwork on his shots... Can really anticipate the action!

[@Tennisbull-match-statistics]

great match. That's the most amount of dropshots I've ever recorded in a 5.0+ match. They were entertaining to watch but didn't give an advantage to either player. Patrick won 2 points and lost 2 off a dropshot, Hermont won 5 but lost 5. Looking at the match stats, the 5+ shot rally lengths were even between both players but Hermont won 6 more free points on his serve and he won 7 more points overall (43 vs 36).

[@SAM098.]

Jogo Excelente, Hermont com um excelente big serve, Patrick com ótimo nível também, oque deixou a desejar foram as Calls em que ele disse que a bola saiu e a situação era de bola boa contei pelo menos umas 5 vezes

[@luxuryxnoah2059]

Get this kid Patrick new hood shoes. He has great potential ❤❤

[@panosbozopoulos5212]

Amazing set at a very high level. Really enjoyable! And the camera set at the perfect height. Great court level view!!!👍👍👍

[@architennis]

Yes, that's the perfect camera location and lens.

[@hsy2448]

We found Hermont’s weakness! Patrick’s slices were really solid and drew some short balls from Hermot to approach on, and Patrick won a lot of his net points!

[@mericusta1988]

Vermonts service saved him, otherwise any neutral rally, Patrick’s variation had the upper hand. Patrick will eventually serve faster and more consistent 1st serve. His second serve is amazing. And if he had a tad more aggressive bh shot it would be tough to beat him. His style is fun to watch because it isn’t textbook. He could also polish his loopy deep topspins (e.g Nadal), to extend the variation in his game.

[@mchaseross13]

Patrick’s first serve has room for improvement though. He lets his toss drop too far and has less leverage over the net to consistently make a first serve. If he can fix that part of his game, he could get lots of cheap or free points, especially with how good he is around the net.

[@24601h]

6:43 inside the baseline and he calls it out

I'd like to see a rematch in the near future. Could be interesting. In the meantime, how about a Coach Chase or Rithvik vs Hermont?!?

[@ayokay123]

Absolutely incredible to watch!!! That kid is a brilliant tactician. Hermont is a great player as well, but he gets a shit ton of points on serve. Hey, whatever strength you've got, used it!!!! I'd love to watch them again. Patrick's volley's are wow!!!

[@EmilioPaganYourno2600]

Love to see both of these guys hook the hell out of the lines lol

Lol I noticed that first game the serve down the T..

Yep, that ball was definitely in. Punk call. @@FrazzaJ2000

[@Stephen-jy3ie]

great match patrick. patrick has got that effortless backhand and forehand with lots of power. Super great feel for his slices and amazing at the net. I think his first serve can use a bit for umph. GG hermont

[@andrewlee5853]

For Patrick.

[@majinvegeta5022]

I liked how both of their heads were steaming at the end of the video 😂

[@matthewbnguyen]

Patrick’s game is awesome. Definitely threw Hermont off a bit.

[@jennym2276]

I thought when Patrick followed his plan to put balls away at the net he had the most success. When he was stuck at the baseline in longer rallies Hermont would take the point. There were some questionable calls throughout.

[@novz19]

19:11. It was in

[@matthewbrown4323]

Thanks! Hopefully this helps Patrick out some.

[@jamesmckinnon9473]

Wow, that was awesome!

[@Shaun949]

One of the best matches so far, very enjoyable. Keep it up!

[@davebeery_youtube]

Loved the match! 👟

[@yakzivz1104]

Both players played really good. Patrick is going to be a force to reckon with and Hermont has a lot of pop on his serves.

[@geld5220]

Thanks! Really enjoyed that

[@albertsanchez5988]

Great match!! love these challenge matches...

[@aztecterp]

Great match! Love Hermont"s backhand. He gets down really low. Patrick' forehand style is nice too. 🙂

[@BuckinMich63]

Just found your channel and really enjoy these matches. Both Hermont and Patrick played well. The rain delay certainly didn't help Patrick with the momentum he had at 2-0. The last few games it appeared Hermont used the drop shot & lob a bit more, and his last 2 service games put him over the top. Great match!

[@larryly3613]

6:44 ball was in. Critical point too for hermont. Had he won that point, Patrick would have lost the game and not gotten 6 games. There were other close calls, but i think if you slowed it down, they were for the most part ok calls. Honestly i think most of those calls should be assumed in because how close and fast they were. Maybe it is experience, but these guys are cutting it close on a lot of their calls.

[@jeff3257]

saw that one. That one was in by a ball length. Not really even close. There were a few like that I saw. Of course we all make bad calls in a match but really the default should be in unless clearly seen as out. I'm as guilty as the next person in "wishing" balls out.

[@larryly3613]

@@jeff3257 the only other is the serve that hermont call out at around 4:05 or so I think was in, but I didn't see any others that was caught by the camera if you slowed down the video to 0.25x. Which other ones are you referring to?

[@jeff3257]

@@larryly3613 yeah you're probably right but in a match we don't have the ability to slow to 0.25x so I guess my point is I like to assume the ball is in if that close and just play it rather than assume it's out. Our eyes can not perceive that small of a difference in real-time.

[@SAM098.]

Ball was in, True, Hermont losts 5 our 6 points because Bad Calls from Patrick, balls hitting the line

[@larryly3613]

@@SAM098. I didn't see any other ones. Or at least what the camera can capture. There were many close ones for sure. It might look like it, but you should slow it down and see for yourself.

I used to play with Dunlop rackets way back when and always preferred to use them for lower end rackets. I've liked the Head rackets I've played with years ago or some more recent. I buy and resell items from thrift stores fulltime and have 200+ tennis rackets and I really like the one Volkl racket I've found!

Lol the post-match steaming

[@andrewlee5853]

Hermont got angry in game 4 and broke out the big shots. Patrick is amazing player and super tricky.

I commented after watching Winston v Hermont that I would be keen to watch more matches with Hermont. Winston has delivered a couple of extra matches with Hermont since. Thankyou Winston you're delivering excellent content. Another Hermont match soon?!

[@dinnermenu2634]

Weird sentence, but those were very respectful hip thrusts by Hermont lol

[@satjiwan]

Thanks for video. Volleyer was probably a bit generous. Patrick mostly came in when hermont hit a drop shot. Patrick’s forehand Alice could be better if hit swings through instead of a down chop.

[@cheahkc]

Hermont has a serious forehand winning quite a few points

Long walking for 5 weeks to 6 weeks this levels the mind to recall the shot and see dimensions. The younger can play a great game ur no tennis then after the walking 8 hours begin 4 to 6 to 8 hrs daily toll completed six weeks . The water then is to digest fully the foods . Then see the racket and see

[@stevenreech8854]

Strong match fellas'

[@Smartkid2387]

IMO Patrick had better strokes (ground and volley) but Hermont had a better serve. It was very fun to watch.

[@tadasblinda8708]

great match guys

[@TehNomad]

Patrick's game is awesome but I think his weakness is his normal (non-slice) backhand. It looks like to me he hits his backhand a bit flat and he made quite a few errors on that side. He played great though and he has a good shot at beating Hermont if H doesn't make enough first serves.

[@Jkan2001]

Hermont needs to practice those drop shots. 5.0 game and 3.5 drop shot feel

Little addicted to the content. Imagine it takes a while to edit already, but would be cool to add a bit more match style notation on the screen like a real tennis match - match point, no. double faults, ball speed etc...

[@barriger97]

Really interesting with UTR and USTA level. I would have assumed a 10 utr is a 5.0 but looks like a 10 UTR is an open player. Hermont is definitely a 5.0 and UTR is pretty accurate.
