Former ATP 400 and 15 UTR x 9.5 UTR - Full Match With Commentary And Tactical Breakdown

[@colinpartch887]

I really love this video. You clearly demonstrate that high level tennis is accomplished through a combination of clean technique, high-percentage shots, and consistent depth. You didn't need to blow him off the court to win with relative ease.

[@whitbrown1648]

This is it - this is the content that allows us into the brain of a high-level player. Invaluable insight on shot selection, rally tolerance. Love it

[@travisbarber350]

This was great! I would definitely enjoy more of this type of format!

[@alwaysfinishwhatistar1521]

To me it’s really interesting how it seems impossible for him to get you out of balance. You seem to anticipate his shots so well and so you’re always ready to take the ball early to put constant pressure on him with controlled, deep shots.

[@WivoRN]

Oh my god this is amazing!!!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!

[@RobBlanzy]

That was fantastic. I learned quite a bit, and it pointed out where I was making mistakes in my matches. Keep them coming!

[@TagUrIt2000]

Karue, I’ve enjoyed ALL of your videos, but this by far is my favorite. The commentary is SO VALUABLE to us recreational players! Thank you again.

[@JourdanTravers]

This is fantastic! I love watching the match commentary, and analysis, and hearing you reflect on your thoughts about the match. I find it incredibly useful!

[@terrycoles9745]

This was fantastic Karue, such a great way to break down the tactics in this way. Very helpful indeed, thank you

[@KaruesellHQ]

That's awesome! Will definitely do this again. Thank you

[@geausportequipment]

This is awesome stuff Karue. Love the play by play commentary point after point. Nobody else is doing this. Would love to see more.

[@boleta9v]

Never disapointing with the content! Personaly, it gives me material to think about when I'm playing, recognize the errors I make on court and realize that even though you and me have a very diferent level, when it comes to unforced errors, the reasons are pretty similar. Thanks again!

[@boleta9v]

I just hope you don't mind I play it on 1.5 speed hehe

[@kbddv6181]

Your filmed breakdown commentary of the points is really the best way to learn to play real points. I loved watching it. I was never bored watching it. Really understanding the strategic mistakes as well as the correct plays in the point…why the point was won or lost is the best way to learn!!

[@Matheusfk3]

Lesson of the day: must resist the temptation of going down the line. Awesome video as usual, Karue. Keep it up!

[@danielpoppi1409]

Amazing!!! I didn't know you are Brazilian!! Now i will support you more than ever!!! Wish you always the best!!

[@KH-ks7si]

Such a great idea, Id love more. Ive been subscribed for a moderate time and watched a lot of your videos and this is one of my favorite one :).

[@ncournault]

High-value video. Thanks. It really showcases the importance of hitting deep and also tactics.

[@caioprudente3279]

Karue, eu realmente agradeço todo esse conteúdo que você cria com tanta dedicação. De verdade, dá para ver o quanto você ama o esporte e o que faz!

[@jeffbrunswick5511]

Thanks a lot Karue, that was very useful. The young guy reminds me of myself, as he doesn't do much wrong, just over hits at times and makes small errors. Whenever he had you in trouble, you seemed to hit a better shot, which is the sign of a world class tennis player.

[@kellygraves8146]

Really really good video. Please keep it up. Your opponent is a really good player. I can't help but notice how relaxed you are, you never seem to get pushed off your base. You stand tall and it's as if you're towering over the opponent.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I have good timing and I work that to my advantage. Not a lot of power but I utilize the court and the angles well. Plus taking time away by not going back

[@AlmirSevero1]

My mind just blew when I discovered that you’re Brazilian! Conteúdo bom demais. Abraços!

[@vectorthurm]

I would characterize my own level at (frustratingly) slowly improving from 3.5 to 4.0 and at times feeling higher levels of play. Never after 10+ off and on (played from age 12-18, 45-…now 49) and lack of big serve, overheads hold me back. Invested lots of time, effort to improve these but I’m probably more uptight than most so it’s been a journey. I appreciate this video as I’m starting to realize (late to the ball fashion 😂) that I should focus on what I got more. Beautiful thing about this game is you learn about yourself and you accept it. Great vid, thank you!

[@karadale5219]

Karue, mate, a tennis video couldn't be more helpful than this for people to learn 'how to play tennis properly'. I'm simply grateful to you and hope you continue creating this sort of content.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you! It's about being a good player, not a good hitter

[@devinotero1798]

This is the only channel ive seen where every new video just gets better and better

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!! We really appreciate the feedback. We are just getting started

[@tennissifu]

This is really eye opening. I've always tried to power through the points. But this got me thinking about the plan, the setup of the point. Thanks!

[@francislirios9730]

More of these video-analysis please! Your insights regarding the shots and errors are very useful for players. Thanks for posting this and hope to see more going forward.

[@kenseewald7301]

Super format and very helpful info for someone trying to be a better singles player...thanks!

[@doannguyen7051]

really awesome content. tennis lovers will not care and want even longer video. we can watch this stuff all day lol the angle from the end of the video with the lower camera view is better cause it gives a real sense of the arc of the balls. again, great stuff

[@rafiqmuhamad8251]

Thanks bro. This is one of the best tennis coaching video. Great game tactical analysis. Hardly any coach teaches us about this.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you! Will make more of these

[@andrewmaddocks1006]

Really excellent talk, thank you for this! I appreciate the way you look at tennis and for the vulnerability of posting your own match.

[@joel4ng]

great vid Karue! really appreciate the advice on hitting back to where the opponent hit, i find myself forcing angles when they just hit it down the middle... now i know how to play it :D

[@gustavodesouza9463]

Holy s* man! I did not know you are from Brazil!!! Good job and I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos! Good to see that you, Bruno Sant'anna (I play with his father on the weekends) and others are finding your ways to keep playing and making a living out of tennis. Congrats!

[@hoangta7272]

I love enjoying MTHQ's longer length videos over dinner and after a nice session of tennis!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Hahah that's the way to do it

[@grantg8638]

Great commentary, not a lot of this content on YT. Super helpful, thank you!

[@kwm23]

This was great, Karue! Thanks so much and you can definitely count me among those who would love to see more of this kind of content. Generally a huge fan of pretty much everything you're doing on this channel, but really thought this was extremely helpful.

[@mansour6623]

super helpful! Please keep these kind of lessons coming!

[@spyghetti]

Great format and information.. it's nice to have you commentating during the points, even when it seems obvious hearing it from you it sinks in more as when I'm on the court I realize in my head 'man why did I try to go there with my shot' when there was a more obvious and probably 'safer' play to open up the court or dictate from a better court position. Some times I just get away with shots then think that is how I should be playing which can be prioritizing a worse shot over a better one.

[@jjkrasnick]

I remember seeing you play some on tour with Martin and at UCLA, and against some other guys on tour that I know, but I didn't realize you had stopped playing ATP tournaments until now! Great video, and good luck coaching and bringing that insight to UCLA this year!

[@jamesp9115]

I like this video and your simple approach. You ALWAYS talk about deepness and you can tell how it affects this match. Even wehen the junior hits high slower loopy deep balls which he didn't very much, its still a neutral ball which keeps him neutral and still in a good position. But, when he hit harder and shorter you pick a corner to hit the ball to and the point is over within the next shot in your favor.

[@KaruesellHQ]

YES! I always talk about depth. You got it. Hitting hard and short takes you nowhere

[@richardking7682]

Thank you Karue. Tennis logic is very hard to grasp, but your commentary helps tremendously.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Appreciate it!

[@jeffhaley9494]

Great video! You really cover some great points about position and opportunity. Love the way you play and cover the court. Thank you.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!

[@BackoftheLineTennis]

Really like the break down Karue. Well done. Thank you.

[@jayt1292]

Really enjoyed this, would be great to see the same thing against someone who can push/rush you to see if you play the same or a different way. Keep up the good work, Kudos to Naomi for making a stand! Cheers

[@ryansmith4760]

Do more like this. Really Useful stuff.

[@user-ww1tf3ed1b]

Really good format for teaching how to play matches.👍👍

[@oliverdesouza5741]

​ @My Tennis HQ Great video Karue, the camera angle is ideal for analysis.

[@ivanromero4936]

Thank you for making this kind of video! I's very instructional from the strategic point of view.

[@AlexanderGr8]

Your videos are great man. I enjoy them very much. Thank you. 👊

[@migsgovea5310]

Great video Karue! Thanks for this, I'm working on court positioning and tactics lately and this is super helpful

[@joelmarcus6133]

This is a fantastic teaching lesson! Please do more on strategy. Thanks

[@alanhaddy7499]

Cool, my favourite tennis coaching channel

[@AlvinJing]

Keep making these videos man. Really enjoy your walkthrough of the game!

[@linolium3109]

Love these kinds of videos where you playing against someone else and commentate :)

[@johnmann5482]

Yes, I learned a lot about playing points. Very helpful.

[@MisterG300]

Love this ! ... nice and clear comments on the match. Hope to see more of this! :D

[@chuckydog8668]

Really good stuff! Smart comments and breakdowns. Thank you.

[@金正基-x7g]

super good video, if using the swing vision to record, we can learn much more on the speed and show the score, thanks

[@luisminillas21]

what an easy way to play!! regards from andalusia

[@joelmarcus6133]

Great teaching in this one! Please do more on strategy. Thanks

[@solo4227]

Best tennis channel

[@tommasogaetani7964]

I'd love to see a match between him and Milan from Tenfitman tennis!

[@dr.adamsdc]

Great insight man! Loved it!

[@AbsolteZero]

I really enjoyed this - very informative. Thank you!!!

[@TheKevinluvzdimsum]

Great video, super helpful! Keep these types of videos coming!

[@kevinarmes9804]

I love this type of content. I subbed right away, great job!

[@KaruesellHQ]

thank you!

[@johnbenevoli2066]

Love your work!

[@conzidv8]

Super cool format-keep it coming please.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Will do

[@jasonodeorain366]

Nice quality vid So grounded the care and passion you have for the game really shows. Do you mind me asking what strings you have I’ve just bought two new Sv 95 I haven’t strung them not sure what to go with. Any who look forward to your new vids 👍

[@MoodFreak]

So elegant and effortless

[@dwightlewis2026]

The right kind of tennis video to SEE where the rubber meets the road: match play analysis. What good is mastering a "perfect forehand" when you don't know WHEN and HOW to use it? Excellent work!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Yep. Perfect technique doesn't mean better player. All that stuff is just noise

[@9r393]

yes, this was very informative. wish you could've kept the sound of the ground strokes, but oh well.

[@DizzyBone3030]

Love your content man, keep it coming

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!

[@mrjuanderfuI]

Cool video. The tips and strategy were super helpful. I think you just need to work on some editing and continuity things. But that'll surely get better as you go. I'm subbed and looking forward to more videos.

[@80blubber]

Learn so much from you.

[@mikesuarez9780]

Great video Karue!! I've been waiting for a video like this forever. I think you have a winning idea!!! Definitely something I'd subscribe/Patreon to.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Awesome!

[@tansmay23]

Simply great!

[@stephendefferari1559]

Taking the heat off those forehand approach shots is always easy in theory than in practice, commonly seen among many 9s and sub 9s, though I can understand wanting to finish points quickly on a 15 ;), 16:26 - return to backhand off second serve = so much more difficult than you make it look

[@TennisOreste]

Great idea! Analyzing shot selection in a real game is really interesting. 28:52 haha the story of my tennis life

[@eltwistedtigre7968]

I would love it if you did this for even like pro player matches maybe! Great vid though very informative.

[@glademaster]

Super helpful!

[@RK-ft9rn]

Hey Karue...great stuff...what is your definition of a deep ball?...1/2 between service and baseline or 4ft inside baseline like you and Osaka practice...also, how to train hitting deep balls...thx

[@patrickvogele2650]

Thank you for the great content. Amazing insight!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!

[@RK-ft9rn]

Hey Karue...love it!!...how can or what drills can help me with better spacing on 2HBH?...Im too jammed...thanks

[@TennisJunkie]

Keep it coming! Thank you

[@KaruesellHQ]

will do

[@lfhass]

Caramba. Nunca imaginei que tu fosse brasileiro, ainda mais um catarinense como eu. Parabéns pelo conteúdo. Sempre muito bom.

[@so03]

Great channel.

[@Rin_o7]

Love the video. Having the scoreboard on the screen might take it up a notch?

[@pro71]

Great content. Love it!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you!

[@aeron1758]

Would you prefer Head Graphene 360+ Extreme Tour or Ezone 98 (305)?

[@limonRiver8818]

There's a huge difference in the placement of your serve and the Jr's.

[@franc1smurray]

Hey Karue. A problem I have been having lately is that I am making too many changes to my serve technique. My technique is never the same as the week before. Most of the time these changes are unintentional. Sometimes this happens to my groundstrokes too. Can you make a video about how to find the technique that works for you as well as the fundamentals to base your technique on?

[@2017Fed]

This video speaks volumes on how the UTR rating system has changed over the years. A 9.5 UTR today is the equivalent of an 11 UTR 6 years ago. What was final score?

[@Gabriel-rb1zk]

Faça vídeos para o pessoal do Brasil, Karue! Make more videos for the Brazilian people, Karue! Abraços, nice content

[@natestenniscomeback1486]

this is really great. what software are you useing to pause and draw over your video?

[@vinyda4088]

Same, would love to know too!

[@bonzwah1]

This is wonderful. exactly what I always wanted to see from you.

[@Skarmeta1]

This is amazing mate! Thank you so much. I never coment but subscribed and recomendating this golden channel to people. Hope you can retry a profesional journey soon. Regards!

[@at5686]

凄いですね！👏👏フットワークも綺麗😍

[@DanielM-ld8cv]

Also any spike ball footage??

[@maxagent86]

Good format, but I can't always see the ball.

[@Lunchpgap]

It's crazy how relaxed karue looks. Effortless power.

[@KaruesellHQ]

effortless because I use my body. Most coaches online only focus on BS things like the "atp forehand"

[@willzsportscards]

that's because like any advanced player, he's using a ton of core and leg. and unlike most of us, he can deliver that with 'timing' into the arm, which is basically just along for the ride at that point.

[@watcher687]

Hi Karue Did you give up on emulating Del Po forehand?
