[@subbingtowhoeversubstome6036]

I really appreciate that both you and your opponent seemed to have a lot of integrity when it came to the line shots. Even when you both did not know whether it was in or if it was out, there seemed to be a lot of sportsmanship on each point. inspirational.

How was this match his to win? 3 1st round losses in a row and this one was his to win? Please stop filling young man's head with nonsense

[@gaspardieu558]

@@dkrawk8309 It was his match to win because he was a set up and had 5 break point opportunities in the second set. Before a month of injury Felix was playing for an ATP point and is still returning to form. This match he was playing well but struggled with fitness and the heat which is easy to fix. Personally when I don't play frequently my level drops dramatically and that is likely the same at the professional level. Also matches are very different to training and take time to get used to. Even Djokovic after not being able to play competitive tennis earlier this year took time to find his form and get back to winning. This performance was encouraging and your negativity shows that you don't play competitive tennis or know much about it.

[@IstiPlays]

You will bounce back in no time. Can't even imagine this kind of mental power, a true sportman right there, keep it up, nice work, video and tennis wise as well!

[@tennisbrothers]

thanks bro

[@davidmonroy403]

Felix, thanks for sharing this with us. As a recreational player I can feel your frustration. Please keep going that you have the tennis. So great are your exercises to avoid injury which is an excellent message to young generations. All the good energy for you to continue in this journey. 🙂

Hey Rachel - glad to hear. Many thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.

You’ll get that point soon Felix and then only up from there! Seen a few negative comments from some posters here, ignore them, there’s always 1% of people who try and drag down those who set a target and go for it. Keep doing you and know that you’ve got the tools to do damage at this level (and higher), and a channel of support behind you.

[@anshukrishan841]

this was a great video and an AMAZING match!!! truly classic video.

[@amanjain4817]

I'm from London too brother and let me tell you the first tennis match I played in Floridian heat almost killed me outright. 2nd set 2-2 and I told myself "I'm ready to walk up to my opponent and tell him you win, cuz I can't breathe anymore " You played an amazing match. Your backhand down the line was superb, the idea to aggressively cut down the length of the point was immaculate. Battling the conditions is just ridiculously hard. Even the pros struggle with it. 2018 US Open Federer vs Millman. Rafa in Madrid. People in AO all the time. I'm so proud of your bro.

[@huntergrey9818]

Great fun watching you play. Your progress is remarkable, and I see you continuing to improve. You inspire me and countless others to never give up.

[@hpu8137]

Thank you for the posting. It seems you balls landed pretty short most of time and gave your opponent more chance to hit them back.

[@tonyjenkins7733]

That was a close match. He got lucky to break you in the second set with an outrageous net cord. I was impressed with your comeback from 3-0 down in the first set, great effort to win that set. Just keep going and you will get there eventually. I bet you were glad of your level of fitness after a 2 hour plus match in the heat. You just need a few matches and the wins will come. Good luck for your next tournament! 😀🎾

[@tennisbrothers]

[@Matheusfk3]

Amazin battle, Felix. Keep your head up, man! You played great. There are some positives to take from this match: Your backhand, for the most part, held really well against your opponents heavy spin, which is really hard to do on clay, you even got some on the rise. You were able to defend very well with an open stance backhand and get some great passing shots when he came to the net. You managed to dictate a lot with your forehand, as always. You got into his service games, even though he had a strong serve and an insane kick second. The match was played in conditions that you are not so used to (almost every match we play here in Brazil is hot and humid lol), so you should be pround. Keep it up, man!

[@tennisbrothers]

Hello Matheus - many thanks for the detailed feedback. This will have taken some time ;-) Yes I think if I played more tennis in Brazil and not in the UK I would not struggle so much in this heat. ;-)

[@emotionalcook2063]

Keep going. Hope see you in ATP match.

[@ernest396]

love your videos!!! good job with the killer serves and forehands. i think your opponent sort of figured out after the 2-4th games into the second set that your backhand wasnt as strong as your forehand so targeted on that side. apart from that i have observed that you have spectacular stamina but the way you play allows your opponent to make you run when they dont require that much movement, this has leveled out the playing field compared to how you could have dominated the game!!

Tough one, keep working Felix!

[@CyprusPete]

Not the result we were looking for but it’s a moral victory in my book ! After injury there’s usually a mental block, always the worry of a recurrence… So all in all, you’re heading in the right direction and will soon string a few victories together. Take a look at the Jannik Sinner groundstrokes, he beat Alcaraz again last night, may help you further develop your topspin forehand and backhands !?

[@alcaraz4life109]

So unlucky, you battled very hard and I can’t wait to see your first ATP point! Just a quick one, what racket do you use? I’m don’t know what to use. Ive only ever used head and Wilson but don’t know what else to use.

Wow great match! How old were you when you started tennis btw. Also keep up the great work and I’m sure you’ll reach your goal for your first atp point soon!

[@thomasrebotier1741]

Experience is also going to get burned in to allow you to make smart/crafty choices even when you are in the red zone. On this match we can see your tactical choices dwindle when heat and effort press too hard, but scheming is also a habit, once you have the right automatisms you'll get your palette working even in those conditions. And of course your defensive lob is on the training list now 🙂

[@tennisbrothers]

This was a brutal match....you are right..gained experience..

[@perghil8]

Cheers!

[@geografia89]

Good job, keep up the hard work. I think you should really focus on dropshots and lobs if you wanna have a good impact on clay surface. Cheers

Best I've seen you play ..really high quality from you and your opponent. For future reference - Thats the best angle for your fans to see from..can really get a sense of spin, trajectory and pace; Camera directly behind the baseline shows none of that so 3\4's view perfect ! You should feel very positive and excited about the future.

[@tennisbrothers]

Thank you hotstixx - I think the camera angle was chosen because it was the only way to film the match. You are right it provides more depth to the video.

Unlucky Felix, you played so well and just a little momentum swung against you in the tiebreak. No shame as these futures are brutal in terms of level but with each match, you're getting closer to a breakthrough and gaining more and more experience at this level which is key. You're v close👍 I see you're on the list for the Aldershot $25K in a few weeks so I hope you sneak into qualies as I'll be there watching as it's my local tournament👍 Vamos Felix!

I agree with you, be more proactive / aggressive in the opening games - the intention to settle in a suss out your opponent is sound but it is helping?

In my opinion, it would be better to you to play firstly tournament on the north of Africa and Eastern Europe. I will have more confidence from there. And it will help you to beat monsters in Italy and Spain. Good Luck!

Hi, keep up the good work! I know you didn’t win by you really pushed yourself and fought for every point and this was one of the few tournaments after your injury so well done.

In addition to higher lobs I think some more depth on the ground strokes in the second set could have helped. The shorter balls were allowing him to dictate a bit more and forced you to run and be defensive. Your progress is visible though and I am confident we will see better lobs soon enough.
