B18s Final Kalamazoo 2024

[@ohaiden4982]

Kennedy really is one for the future, such a bright talent for American tennis. Reminds me a lot of Svajda, Forbes played more consistent tennis in pressure points but best of 5 tennis was very obviously taxing for both players. Great match!

[@TimelyAdventure]

Love the upload, would prefer no spoilers in the opening and description, but thank you!

[@sammylee8179]

didn't know these kids play best of 5

[@AudibleMotion]

Winner goes to the U.S. Open so they better get used to it haha

[@HaydenW18]

Just finals

[@yanejz248]

i know right, so impressive

[@hamiltonjackson234]

Only the finals

[@PxxxJxx]

Well now you do bud

[@uw10isplaya]

Impressive level. Will try to catch Forbes's match at the USO. Looking forward to see what Kennedy can do in the future (hopefully he fills out a bit in the next few years, biggest difference here seemed to be athleticism).

[@chriseads7133]

3 out of 5 sets for 18s is crazy town!

[@farid1406]

Had no idea Jack Kennedy was such a hell of a tennis player. Only knew him for football.

[@Purallax]

3 out of 5 for Kalamazoo?

[@dlinsanity]

yes, it's the finals so they have to play best of 5 to prepare for wild card draw of us open where it's best of 5

[@HaydenW18]

Just finals

[@IGNSanity]

only for the final of 18s

[@juliantennis]

For the final because the winner gets into the main draw of the US OPEN

[@Nowik94]

Only for the final of the 18s. I think the reasoning is the winner gets a wildcard in to the us open so they have them play a best of 5 for the finals

[@coinrotator]

Funny how fast junior swing styles change to mirror the pro game. Their backhands (even the grunts) are like Alcarazs'.

[@yuanhu6031]

which player is which?

[@IGNSanity]

MSU gear is Forbes, pink shirt is Kennedy

[@daraemkar]

Forbes in green. I had to look it up since posters don't like telling us for some reason.

[@TLDel]

Only people of a certain age will understand this reference, but I can't help but be reminded of the vice presidential debate all those years ago when the man said, " Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy. "

[@farid1406]

Ask NAWT what your ballboy can do fuh yew, ask what YEW can do fuh yuh ballboy!"

[@astrelixx3857]

Kennedy loves his drop shot

[@Shrek607]

Whys Kennedy kicking every serve? Forbes is standing on the baseline on each return.

[@cartersmiley9078]

Great players, lackluster net game

[@nathanrarangol402]

For everyone’s awareness best of 5 is only in the finals

[@bobbydoom3527]

its best 3 out of 5?

[@dlinsanity]

yes, it's the finals so they have to play best of 5 to prepare for wild card draw of us open where it's best of 5

[@HaydenW18]

Just finals

[@PxxxJxx]

Maybe if you paid attention youd see that it is best 3 out of 5

[@bobbydoom3527]

@@dlinsanity kk thanks

[@ash3r01]

11:05 what is he saying? Thats so what

[@slime8646]

That’s soo sigma🥶😥😰🔥

[@cartersmiley9078]

Such chicken maybe?

[@patrickmiller7583]

Sickening maybe

[@masonfekete4289]

So far out

[@neillund8698]

They go to the us open next so they prepare by aying 3 out 5 in finals

[@1S4Per]

The finger to the ear for the crowd by both these guys....not my style. Be humble. Just play. (YMMV)

[@thicczana6427]

Brilliant, spoilers in the first 5 seconds of the video.

[@ramz8248]

wow the level has really dropped compared to previous years :(

[@crosscourtwinner]

agree. have to assume level will increase in future years though

[@Zach78z]

Can never like any player with the obnoxious grunting

[@ethanyang3725]

Riki’s better

[@asantesamuel13]

These kids are modeling their play after Djokovic and Alcaraz. One even putting his finger to his ear after hitting a winner like a little douchebag. It’s really disturbing this is the direction the game has gone. Grunting, needlessly long rallies, childish reactions to losing a point, overly-celebratory before actually winning, no variety in playstyles. Hard to even watch. No spirit.

[@SpringFirework]

You try playing at that level

[@crosscourtwinner]

@@SpringFireworkwell i actually have and can assure you, the original poster is right on the money.
