Holt v Wolf Boys Pan Am Closed Final

[@adman0828]

That feeling when you think you're a pretty good tennis player, then you watch a couple of kids tear the cover off the ball on KZbin.

How old are they here?

They are like man kids

Quite different demeanors these players possess. Holt is so calm while Wolf is throwing his emotion into every point.

[@forgotmyname2462]

Something goes here... Difficult to say what is better... I think it depends ob your personality, but the second one can get you in far more trouble

[@curiousgeorge6921]

Wolf is like 200 atp now while in college sick

[@Nebula_08]

Which is why holt destroyed

[@craig170]

@@curiousgeorge6921 ikr

[@craig170]

Doesn't matter wolf is 200 in atp rankings

[@Elastiboy20]

What is quite interesting is that watching this 4.5 years later, both went to college but Wolf is now the superior prospect, at 140 in the rankings and rising fast, while Brandon Holt hasn’t had nearly as much success. Wolf has developed massively physically compared to this video, his legs are huge and he serves and hits much bigger now. While Holt still seems to have the same weight of shot now as he did then. Wolf will likely break top 100 this year: Holt still has a lot of work to do to even get close to winning Challengers.

nice!

holt just beat fritz!!! and wolf just beat rba

crazy how they both became the two best college players in the nation

[@colehudson7156]

Watching this after they just played each other in the Dallas Open 2023. Crazy to see them duking it out on the ATP tour years later. And kudos to Wolf for stepping up his game to ridiculous levels. Would love to see him push towards top 20 in the world.

[@andytran010]

ball at :33 was in, clipped line

If it did, it was by a millimeter because to my eyes, it was out.

[@td866]

ball at 2:11 was in. its annoying, seems desperate, and also unsportsman-like to celebrate EVERY point won. i really wish young players (Wolf) would stop this.

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

td866 why would you not celebrate a point if you won it? It's about positive reinforcement. Sadly with him I believe it also lead to a level of complacency!

[@JakobTennisMB]

Karma that he lost.

[@palmerbyrnes7018]

I agree

[@Jun-zg5jv]

JJ wolf ( dark blue ) is currently ranked 147ATP ranked. Brandon Holt ( light blue ) is currently ranked 613ATP.

[@marctravismba]

It seems like Wolf has a bigger game, but Holt was playing smarter. He was picking his spots to be aggressive.

[@chaostrigger14]

And now Wolf is slappin bombs, clappin moms, and he made it to the 4th round at the Aussie. Insane growth !

Please tell me Holt won, I like his game and personality so much more.

[@jamesmcload1137]

A Djokovic imitator vs. a Murray imitator?

[@nicolewilliamson1478]

James McLoad no I don’t think holts copying Murray really, Wolf is definitely a Djokovic imitator though lol

[@GrandmaBetty1945]

Wolf got his fist pumps from Djokovic, his forehand with the feet wide and bum backwards from Djokovic. Backhand from Djokovic. Serve is different though. But yeah, clearly he copied a lot from Djokovic

[@acemachine26]

It was a good match but both guys need to work on finishing points when at the net. Most of the volleys from both of them were weak and allowed the opponent to get back into the point.

[@DrumWizard16]

Agreed/ Both fantastic players from the baseline. Volleys are really abysmal. Like truly terrible.

[@FireMatHawk]

DrumWizard16 should probably see more of Holt now that he's in college. Really improved his net game.

[@Beechaii2]

It's a common weakness for junior players. Even Federer has pointed out there are a lack of next gen of players with competent skills at the net.

[@prestonsmith7279]

bad volleys but their both playing D1 college tennis while your at youtube comment section university....

[@alephnull4044]

@@prestonsmith7279 No need to get offended. It was a very reasonable comment - their volleys are disproportionately bad compared to their groundstrokes.

Both of these guys play a similar game, like watching a clone of each other. Holt slightly more consistent apparently

[@donesy125]

[@T31-e2y]

@@risiateb he’s complaining to the chair

[@xf6226]

I seriously hope Holt's development has been slowed by injury and not by a lack of size or pace on his balls. He is an incredible college player but his results on the Challenger Tour are not very inspiring

[@gmonster461]

yeah wolf hit too many loopy balls and only occasionally flattened them out, but you cant really attack with spin unless you have serious rpms, holt took advantage and really ripped what wolf hit to him especially in the first

[@deathbombs]

indeed wolf saw more success with flat shots. He he used spin, he should've at least went for better placement

[@seanharmon1]

Wolf struggles with depth on his backhand. He looks (and probably thinks) like he’s playing hard and hitting big shots, but it isn’t effective. Volleys need some work also. Pretty good feet, good serve, and a solid forehand.

[@trimotionmedia5487]

lol, the second point was IN not OUT. I played it back in SLOMO

[@minh1197]

They're both playing at the us open as we speak!

[@capz3011]

2:19 was in WHATS he talking about!!

[@fcnator]

Was talking about a previous shot in the rally but it looked in aswell lol

[@shaadydog1]

He was talking about 2:13 or 2:14 opponent backhand comes off the line...

[@john-boy4283]

Holt with good bloodline (Tracy Austin is his mom, boy did she have a pure backhand)

[@5ammy13]

Wolf wins points when he hits deeper. He has a solid forehand but if he can consistently hit more deeper regularly, he can win quite easily.

[@georgewhite5370]

He thought it was out, but thanks to the video quality these days we can clearly see it actually bounced INSIDE the line!

[@paris2024olympics]

but it was in....

[@flum6881]

The bounce at 2:12

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Some are commenting that Holt is just consistent and doesn't go for the killer shot. Why? If you're playing and winning without taking big chance why take those chances? It doesn't mean he can't, it just means he's able to beat his opponents without having to completely extend himself.

[@whatamidoing8023]

You should only celebrate a point when it is important ... Not points like the first in the match

[@ucdlin]

Wolf is the kind of player where it seems like he's hitting hard because of his huge wind up, but his shots actually are really weak. Like there's barely any penetration cause he hits so much spin. His style of playing won't get him very far in college tennis

[@JoePerdue]

+ucdlin he's a 5 star blue chip on tennis recruiting...to classify his shots as "really weak" is beyond laughable.

[@946rolo]

+ucdlin Actually he is 27 in the junior ranking. He played two G1 in this year and won one, and in the other one he reached the final. You must see more junior tennis to say those things!
