D1 UCLA Recruit vs D1 USC Recruit!

[@odb233]

Probably the closest match I have seen on the channel. High quality tennis.

[@CrowPasture]

What in the world, that is an absolute insane match from start to finish. These two guys left it all on the court, and what an absolute treat to watch. Cassius has insanely good defense, and is just so solid and powerful all around. Jeez, the margins are just razor thin at this level. I think Niels if can find like 2ft of extra depth on his balls, he'll be unstoppable.

[@roeeorland]

Cassius has some sick footwork

[@ginoreynera5890]

he's a freakin energizer bunny

[@coffeedude2024]

Some very high level tennis here and some great tennis played. Both of them will become top level college players for sure and pros for sure. The only difference between them was Casius just played the big points in the breaker a little better and Niels let frustration get the better of him just a little in the end. Cant wait to see these two face off again and to see their college tennis journey over the next few years. Kudos guys👊

[@BassByTheBay]

Yeah, when Niels showed his frustration after that volley at 5-3 in the tiebreak, I thought the match was basically over.

[@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842]

The best first point I've ever seen on your channel, Winston!

[@davebeery_youtube]

Both of them said they were baseline players and then the first point is an awesome net game point! 😆

[@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842]

@@davebeery_youtube Haha. True!

[@TheRmm1976]

Great playing, and gotta say I enjoy the candid remarks and laughs at the end

[@jasonrowland1594]

Incredible match from two flat out awesome players! Some of the best baseline rallies I've seen on the channel. Cassius seems to have an awesome mental game. You could see him buckle down when he was down 6-3 including not being afraid to get into his opponents head with the underhand serves. Niels net game let him down a bit today, but he is an outstanding player nonetheless. As always, Winston's channel just flat out brings it!

[@sankalpjain-re6ui]

What a blockbuster of a match! Insane levels of tennis! Loved the touch at the net from Niels, and the couple of dunk-shots from Cassius. Well played both! Go Bruins!

[@tampaed]

Niels is one laid back guy. I used to get so pissed when I lost a close match. Takes it in good stride.

[@WinstonDu]

He was a bit frustrated lol

[@SeireaTennis]

Super high quality right from the first three points. Such a banger

[@KingsClubTennis]

Incredible playing from these two guys. Their movement is fantastic. Makes me really think about taking the fundamentals you learn when starting and then just building on those. Progressing with intensity over time and hopefully resulting in mastery. Niels can predict the ball movement so well and yet has a strong stable stance. Cassius brings a nimble spark to his footwork with electric groundstrokes. Love this backhand return from him here 5:59 then hits another similar here 7:02 Can learn so much from these guys. Thanks Winston. Literally watching it over again cause it's just so good!

[@Dfblack2008]

Cassius has amazing groundstrokes, penetrating with pace, and fast feet. He had multiple jumping groundstrokes which shows his great timing and made it entertaining to watch. Niels has a big first serve but seems to really need time on the forehand which he rolls too much. Great job to both and look forward to seeing their improvement

[@BassByTheBay]

Love this matchup! Cassius has incredible wheels. So fun when players are this close in level. Please have more of these guys, Winston!

[@dxgi3737]

These two are the most alethic and talented players that I have seen on your channel. I thought the match was playing at 1.5x speed. Better than a pro match.

[@LunarEclipsism1]

What an absolute slug-fest, haha. Incredible play and very funny commentary from the players between points. It's wild to watch players with 12.4 UTR from this angle because part of your brain goes "well surely it's not possible to be much better at playing tennis than this..." And then you remember that Alcaraz has a UTR of like 16.3, lol

[@uw10isplaya]

Great level. Been fun to see Niels's game develop over the years on your channel.

[@A2DetroitLions]

a great match, very competitive. I expect to see these boys on tour in the future! Thanks Winston!

[@w4ltz]

Would love to see more Niels in the future! I resonate with his attitude and play style

[@IsaacPeachey]

great content. these guys know each others game very well. very high standard of base line tennis. both of them need to come to the net more often. what a grind ; a pleasure to watch. best of luck to the both of them. future is bright for these guys.

[@-Munditimum-]

Wow...amazing. Usually I'm not at a loss for words, but just amazing tennis. Thanks as usual Winston! M

[@Heritage5StarNews]

best match i've watched in a long time on the internet. cool to know these guys are good friends. as a high school tennis coach and about a 4.0 player myself-i couldn't get over how well both of these guys move. their footwork seemed flawless. tough stuff for sure-i'm going to have my team watch this one when we all get together in a few weeks. congrats to both players and good luck in your future.

[@ChaunceyDos]

As a former d2 and d3 player, these dudes are ridiculous. Dang. They will become more polished but gd they are good. Never faced anybody like them.

[@TimelyAdventure]

What a battle! These guys do play similar, with Cassius seemingly looking to dictate more closer to the baseline. Looks like both are on the verge of becoming more all court players and finishing more points at the net

[@unearthedbean5008]

Probably my favorite match on this channel by far, would love to see a rematch for sure.

You can really tell these guys have played a number of times, know each other’s games well. Nothing much between them, it was impossible to tell who was going to win the match. In these types of matches it’s just about being a competitor.

Very even between these two. I think cassius has a little more power on his shots and dictates play a bit more aggressively, but not much separating over all.

What does that even mean

[@padflash]

@@BriasRocks I don't think it is a pro stock, it looks like he is just playing w/ a Blade Pro. It's a completely different racquet - different mold & layup. It's got a constant box beam shape w/ a higher swing weight. Blade Pro has more power and plays like a traditional control frame, it's a demanding but rewarding racquet. The regular Blade is more of a modern control frame w/ an aerodynamic elliptical beam.

[@BriasRocks]

@@padflash Yep I see the differences now. I agree he probably does have a v9 pro which essentially is the pro stock. I have the v9 16x19 phenomenal racket

What type of UTR would a player need to be a qualifier for the US Open?

[@mariahcareylover406]

Probably somewhere around 14.5-15 if they’re playing qualifying purely from ranking

[@TenisAmador]

To enter the qualifying you need to be at around 220 in the world. Current #220 in the world is a 14.5. There are guys ranked higher with lower UTRs (~14.2), but 14.5 would be a good estimate.

It's camera angle. Pros hit just as hard as this.

[@KevinLin-o6e]

What does Neils mean by rolling?

[@zanido9073]

Hitting too much spin and not enough drive, resulting in a slow, loopy shot. Usually happens when you get tight/nervous and are afraid of over-hitting the ball so you overcompensate.
