Can I Beat My Brother?? Mic’d Up Match (#2)

Can I Beat My Brother - Mic’d Up Match (Ep. 2) #tennis
Started a new series of videos where I play matches against a range of players and coaches whilst both wearing microphones.
As well as being a fun way for me to make you videos, it’s going to mean that I can actually start playing more tennis and hopefully share some useful insights with you.
This second one was against my brother, Wilson!

“My supporters are telling me to serve and volley. I can’t volley!” Too good

[@TheTennisMentor]

Haha!! I paid them

[@grantdelmege2724]

Got to see the match with Macca!👊

[@brianmurphyie]

I was shouting for Wilson, sorry Ashley, but this was good fun to watch. Great idea. Fantastic insight into what your thinking as it goes.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Haha!! Don’t worry, I was kind of rooting for him too 🤣 Not enough to let him win though! If he was fitter I’d have a battle on my hands, he looked impatient in many points!

[@julianschmid2884]

Really enjoyed watching you play. Would love some more gameplay :)

[@Javi_C]

What a fun and enjoyable match, thanks for sharing Ashley!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bojack3827]

Great video. Really interesting hearing their thoughts on tactics etc

[@marvinko6610]

It's equal parts funny and uncanny to see that all tennis mates are the exact same no matter the country. I'm German and the courtside comments from my mates are almost exactly the same. We give each other a hard time when someone misses repeatedly but acknowledge good plays and in the end encourage each other to get better. Love this series!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Love it! Got to have fun with it!

[@touchtennis]

Looking forward to this! That backhand down the line was a joke at touchtennis.

[@alexporter7003]

Great stuff. Proper nervous playing big bro, love it.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Haha, he was tight!

[@TheBlessedLion]

Your dad is a gentleman, so he was neutral in the background…😊 Great format!

[@TheTennisMentor]

You’re right, I think he just enjoyed watching his boys play (but was naturally quietly rooting for the younger sibling)

[@MegaBensley]

Loving the format! More of it please. Clearly some family issues to work through, but that's normal I guess.Hope you get to enjoy hanging out together away from the court!

[@TheTennisMentor]

We have a family weekend away each year (5 brothers and dad) we’re actually doing it next week!

[@MegaBensley]

@TheTennisMentor awesome, sounds great, which country are you heading too? A bit of early sun, sea and sand between your toes?

[@TheTennisMentor]

@@MegaBensley just a UK break actually, to Center Parcs!

[@MegaBensley]

@@TheTennisMentor sounds good, have fun!

[@gms9073]

Will has great form. I really want to see Maka get at it.😊

[@TheTennisMentor]

500 likes on this one and I’ll take him on 😎

[@filmercy]

There's no justice in a great player like Wilson - not - swinging a Wilson stick, give him a Blade 98 and he'll show you! Bad jokes aside, great content as usual and lovely post-match analysis, I feel like its really necessary and it was really on point. Can't wait for the next showdown!

[@TheTennisMentor]

🤣🤣 the funny thing is, my mum applied for Wilson sponsorship for him when he was winning nationals and they weren’t having it 😆

[@fernandoprete5310]

Pretty cool. Fun to watch. I think you was more aware of what to do and expect, and Wilson was trying to figure out during the match, that makes a lot off diference on shorts matchs. (Preps Boosts confidence) Congrats 👏👏👏 🥸

[@TheTennisMentor]

Totally agree! I’m glad it was just one set 😅

[@nathanmiller6051]

Fun guys! Thanks 🎾🙏 not easy playing your bro

[@redmandyl]

I heard Murray grunting at the match point 😂

[@TheTennisMentor]

🤣

[@owenclark6487]

You could do a doubles video with your other brothers, Babolat and Slazenger

[@TheTennisMentor]

But Wilson, Babolat and Slazenger don’t get on, so what would the pairings be??

[@ЯрославРодионов-ю4ю]

Cool format

[@bigbrain6966]

The biased audience was comedy gold

[@TheTennisMentor]

The audience definitely made it more fun!

[@mallinmall1327]

Could you please do a video on how to build match confidence/mindset for rec level players? i feel that i do well in practices but as soon as i start a match, my play level sinks. really annoying.

[@alastairtheduke]

Ashley gets no love lol

[@TheTennisMentor]

😂😭

[@s41magazine37]

I'm curuyas to why he quit fir 10 years. I was a county junior. Sadly, my mother died when I was 14 and tennis was no longer an option for me mentally.

[@bradleyjacovides994]

Hi Ash! You never tried to compete or be pro in the past? If so, what made you stop?

[@Flstudiog-d]

What’s ur camera setup on both sides 😮. Lens and camera

[@TheTennisMentor]

Sony A7IV w/ Sigma 24-70mm and DJI Osmo Pocket

[@Flstudiog-d]

@@TheTennisMentor cheers mate. Do u feel that lens is wide enough to capture the court?

[@ajollypanda4175]

Wait so did he coach his younger brother? Also to be fair, dad did not clap for either of you 😂 he was grinning the whole time though, I have a feeling he can take you both on hahah

[@KarolinaElrawas]

bruh

[@jaygarner2911]

😢 *Promo SM*

[@peterguerreri7143]

Nice video! Big fan of the mic matches!!! Please play Mike Johnson :)

[@saketlandge3443]

Why did he quit at 12 y/o? Asking as a father/coach to a 7 year old budding tennis player

[@TheTennisMentor]

A combination of a few things resulting in burnout. The tennis journey is a long road and enjoyment is the only fuel that will keep you moving forward! Keep it fun!

[@saketlandge3443]

@@TheTennisMentor If he ever gets ready to share his story, then please do make a video on your channel so that we can learn and educate ourselves on things to avoid in this journey. Having fun is very important!

[@TheTennisMentor]

@@saketlandge3443 of course, I will speak to him as I think it will help many!
