For fun, these are my ideas for Mark after watching the first set: 1. Mike’s a big dude so drop shot him a few times (maybe in a row) and make him move forward and backwards on your terms just to force him out of rhythm and to annoy him; 2. on short balls, slice approach short to make him hit passing shots from shoelace level; and, 3. on ad side returns, maybe SABR a few times to grab that kicker early. I’m excited to see if anything changes in the 2nd set. Interesting match! Thanks, Essential Tennis!

[@kenharris7194]

Mike is a really good player but a bit too cocky for my taste. Momentum can change in the matter of minutes in a match or in the beginning of a new set. Mark is definitely capable of playing alot better but I believe he needs to be more aggressive and stay closer to the baseline to hit more penetrating shots. Maybe also not be a bad tactic to charge the net once in a while to keep Mike off balance. My prediction is that the second set will be competitive. Looking forward to the remainder of the match!

[@michaeltreis9751]

It may come off as cocky but I had a confidence issue growing up. So I try to channel that "athletic arrogance" on court to increase my inner confidence. It helped me improve my mental tennis game.

Great display of attacking tennis from Mike, just so strong all around. I love Mark's game but unsure what he can do here - maybe aim for slightly riskier targets, more angles, maybe get into the net a little more, but it has to be behind the right shot or it's target practice for Mike.

[@BackoftheLineTennis]

Good stuff. Mark seems pressured (rightfully so with Mike being so offensive), but that backhand DTL percentage is dipping more and more. Not that cross court will solve things, but interesting to me. And that feeds Mike's FH stroke or volley if he is moving in. Will see what the second set holds. And like this format for the match. Get to focus on points and play with the good commentary. Cheers all.

[@EssentialTennis]

[@charlesdang2557]

Talking points from both players are very helpful. Commentary was lively. Great content, you guys! I fear that Mike will continue his steamroll. It's a demonstration that being a better player saves you from having to be the better athlete. Looking forward to seeing Mark mix it up and make his opponent uncomfortable.

[@petershort936]

I'm no coach, but I think Mark's serve has a hitch that's robbing him of some power, which is saying something b/c he can hit it. The hitch or pause is in the knee bend when the ball toss goes up. He's frozen there for just a beat that is interrupting any kind of kinetic transfer. He goes down, pauses, than goes up after the ball. It should be a bit faster and smoother so the explosion into the ball requires less effort.

[@Dubinski2382]

Yeah he's putting so much effort in but the ball doesn't go anywhere.

Mark is rushing his setup on the topspin backhand - not sure why but it has a very abbreviated rushed look to it, and he is coming up a little early and high when he makes contact. The Mike kick server is just 'sick' for a rec player. Mark has to stand in on that thing and be a cat.

It looks like Mark entered the match with the wrong mentality. He cant beat Mike in a power baseline duel. His focus should be being consistent with enough deep and no more than that.

[@HeavyTopspin]

Just love the aggressive style of play from Mike, doing everything I try to tell myself to do (and unlike my sorry 4.0 ass, actually succeeding): groundstroke depth, attacking short balls, and not getting sucked into 40-shot crosscourt rallies. I do have to ask, though: why the obsession in titles of listing what they played in college? They're full-grown adults, and we're watching the players they are now, not what they were years ago.

[@EssentialTennis]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@michaeltreis9751]

What helped me is trying to hit really specific spots in the court over and over again. Instead of focusing on hit to their backhand side which is a very general target; make your target in the location of the court more specific. That's how winners are created. The pros are trying to hit spots rather than just where their opponents weakness is. Thats why the average rally in the pros is 2-4 shots.

[@miguelroda8779]

Mark could use some racket head control on his backhand. Usually when he tried to go full power with the backhand, he lost control of the racket head and the ball. The shots where he has racket head control were the best backhands he made during the game.

[@vincentpun123]

[@mikesannitti6042]

This is the second time (I believe) that Scott has questioned Mark's strategy of taking big swings but from way behind the baseline during a match.

Great question. So going Into the match I thought mark was going to be more of a grinder and slice his backhand in order to counter my attacking style. I was going to use my one handed backhand that I have been working on to counter the slice. That was my x factor game plan going into this match. And maybe get In his head of not knowing if i was going to use one a one handed or a two handed topspin backhand.

You would need to have a 10 UTR to make the team. But at least an 11 to play in the lineup. 11-12 will be about 4-6 singles and 13.5-12 to play at 1-3 in the singles lineup. I played at western michigan which is a mid major D1 program. I played 5-6 in singles and 2-3 in doubles before I transferred to UWW. As you get to schools in the Big Ten or the Big 12.

Again IMO she should not be required to go to these oligarchy class sponsored dull old school interviews that nobody cares about unless a player breaks down during a "got you" question.

reupload?

[@EssentialTennis]

We live streamed this match a few months ago, this is the edited version with the confessional cameras

[@MrSubWright]

@@EssentialTennis Ah I see, I thought I was going crazy swearing I've already watched this before LOL. It's great that it's been edited with the confessionals and better audio in general as I thought the audio during the livestream was kinda low.

Well played by Mike but cheering an opponent's mishits when you're up 5-1 is a bit Al Bundy.

[@seanalves557]

why does mark verbalize every thought he has on the tennis court. why not just keep them inside? weird

[@rossbrides9445]

thats correct. you are not dimitrov.

[@ted4ty]

99% of free and easy points were directed to mark's backhand.

C'MON MARK! THE POWER OF BWEH COMPELS YOU!

Come on Mark expeliamus his ass.. not going happen this time think. Mike is just a level better nothing to be ashamed of. Physically I represent Mike more myself. For the Americans I am 6.4ft 1.93 cm weighing ruffly 80 kilo's. Tc myself Mike mentality of confidence of hitting more ball back because you are a coach is also my go to place.
