Hendrik, I appreciated your video. I'm 43 and have been playing for 3 years. There is a lot of growing room here in the Salinas, Ca(Monterey Area). I am probably too excited about playing tennis, but have been competing for about 6 years as an athlete. First as a basketball player, which I still do and recently in tennis, but haven't gotten into the league.

[@hendrik_jebens]

Hey thank you and great that you love the competition!! I went to college in San Diego, I have been most of the time in the SoCal area where Tennis seems to be big with many good players

Very motivating now destroy ur opponents in Wimbledon. Come on Hendrik du bist der beste 🔥

[@hendrik_jebens]

Vielen Dank 💪 jawoll immer weiter

[@MPTennis]

Hey man this is amazing stuff you have here. Financials is something I think for me will be really tough. for me. How did you do it to start? Did you have a sponsor or did your family help you. The “long breath” I love that comment. Futures going for it in dubs is something I have never thought about either but it’s on my mind now. I see you are in R3 of wimby now. Best of luck and cheering from 🇨🇦

[@hendrik_jebens]

Playing club matches helps the European, in US/Canada hitting with juniors can help to raise money the parents often pay well for a hit and it’s still practice for yourself. Thank you 💪

[@svlagonda7417]

Interesting video. Good luck on your journey! PS You sound like Dominic Thiem!

[@hendrik_jebens]

Thank you 💪 I have heard that before haha

[@Jonggimuhammadkrisnasukma]

[@aaradhyagarimella4208]

My parents don’t think I’m good enough to play tournaments and join an academy but I have been playing 2.5 years and am beating people my age that have been playing for their whole life. What do I do? I’m 15 and trying to go pro in singles btw

[@whit-zo5nn]

could you please make a video on how to get sponsors? thank you for this!!

Should I quit high school for going pro I am in my mid teens and I just started playing tennis and for me to be able to make it to the professional, is it necessary to just focus on tennis now and as I said leave high school and take it full time?

[@hendrik_jebens]

For me it was highly important to finish High School, becoming a pro is a risk and education is something to fall back on and build another career. Education also helps you become smarter and play better

[@user-ej8or3ts3q]

Machst du auch krafttraining? Wie sieht das so aus? Und ernährungsplan?

[@joshiweber2307]

Hallo Hendrik, Ich komme auch aus Deutschland aus Hessen um Frankfurt rum. Ich bin 15 Jahre alt und spiele aktuell Bezirksliga in meiner Altersklasse und Kreisliga bei den Herren. Ich spiele schon regelmäßig seit ich 5 bin. Meine LK ist 13 wenn dir das etwas sagt ;). Ich trainiere ungefähr 10 Stunden in der Woche. Mein Traum ist es auch ein Profi zu werden. Glaubst du, dass ich mit 15 zu schlecht bin um ein Profi zu werden oder was wäre dein Ratschlag für mich um es zu schaffen. Ich bin bereit sehr viel Arbeit dareinzugeben.

[@thomashofmeyer7689]

What do you think you are missing to be a top 100 singles player? In doubles you obviously haven’t plateaued yet

[@hendrik_jebens]

When I was focused on singles I didn’t move well enough

[@MegaHofmeister]

Interesting, you seem super athletic for your height….more then some other tall guys such as Fritz & that canadian dude

[@rainerkl9810]

hat man bei allen challenger turnieren hospitality?

[@hendrik_jebens]

Ja bei allen

[@MrMjolnir69]

Might want to focus on FINANCE just touching on the subject at 14.45 or so wont cover it. (Ex Pro.)

[@MrMjolnir69]

Yea. It's brutal but i.e. a friend in Laguna Beach invested $500k in his 2 newly acquired Step daughters tennis ambitions . (15 years ago?) 1 got a scholarship to Penn state I think, the younger maybe at Layola? But chose Michigan. as both wanted to leave home! . either way he figured the numbers over 4 years of collegiate tennis plus! private coaches, fitness, psychology, travel, nutrition, cars, equipment, chasing sponsors via photo shoots (they were both lookers) low points tournaments overseas. Plus building a court in back yard for time at home. on & on $500k. And none of it particularly extravagant.

[@azizanianugrahadi7157]

What happen to your shoulder? I think you have a problem with your spine 😮

[@ThisDesignLife]

Is it too late at 47?

[@hendrik_jebens]

You could be the first but at 47 is very tough to make it in the atp, has never been done before

[@Creees]

Are people still starting their intro with the generic american "yo whatsup guys". I still remember when everyone was super unoriginal and all said "watsup guts'

[@mollyseymour10]

Is there any hope for a 30 year old? 😂
