Man, the hands on both these guys! Some of those volleys and drops so nonchalantly, Amazing!

[@tp76ben5]

Great angle way better than on TV. You then realize at the level they play.

[@marceltorretta]

Totally agree

[@balat77]

Both are awesome, Gaston is the drop- master!! 🙌🏻

[@Funkytrip73]

Botic was a bit injured, hence he often stopped so early running to get them (and hence Gaston hit so many dropshots)

[@manamat]

Am I the only one here to trip on Botic serve gesture ?! Love the shoulder stretch, beautiful technique (--> 0:08)

[@sylvainbauge]

technique

[@3DxPOD]

I immediately slowed the video to .25 to see what he does. It seems quite flawless.

[@neclis7777]

He just stops, hangs in there, and then hammers it away. Spectacular !

[@Wizard101duncan]

He has great racket lag which allows more/faster racket head speed buildup

[@sylvio9771]

It’s similar to Marat Safin serve

[@gregmacfd3]

Would rather watch this angle all day from some randoms phone over the actual professional camera angles they do on tv

[@seizethedayandlive]

Absolutely right. Can't stand the high angle view that wipes out any sense of depth.

[@yannickdrmda5295]

The sponsors: 😑

[@kp1779]

Great camera angle! I love it

[@susa4727]

Now I am a fan of van de Zandschulp.

[@danguee1]

There used to be a phrase: "good touch for a big man". I never quite understood that - why can't big men have good touch, doesn't make sense..... Well Botic - big man - gives us some amazing touch in this video. Didn't move well, though - nursing an injury, perhaps? Well played Hugo (he's a guy with some brilliant touch of his own, tbf).

[@LiamApilado]

Great atmosphere

[@DiegoMorales-by1ms]

Man the Pros are lunatics hitting the ball, it’s crazy how good they are 😮

[@natejs260]

Van de Sandsculpture’s forehand is probably one of the easiest power generating ground strokes currently on tour. It’s so smooth

[@HerrRiede]

On tour?? He's a great player, and his run in the US Open was awesome, but maybe, we should be realistic: He's not even top 50 and there are also better forehands on tour.

[@natejs260]

@@HerrRiede each to their own. Your opinion my opinion

[@HerrRiede]

@@natejs260 Agree. Just that he's not in the top 50 is not an opinion, but a fact 😜

[@yourbedroompunk7601]

@@HerrRiede I agree with you, Aaron. There are better forhands on tour at the moment.

[@TOXRaizou]

@@HerrRiede Drop it dude. He said "on tour" which isn't necessarily top 50. And that's his opinion, has nothing to do with fact. Much like a lot of people think RF's forehand is the best, and others prefer the Rafa's one.

[@alessandroardu1059]

Noticeable spin in Gaston's forehand by the way, I wouldn't say that seeung him on TV

Gaston doesn't seem to have many weapons at all. Hes just quick and smart lol

I was thinking the same thing, almost feels like he is framing his forehand a good chunk of the time.

Is it just me who thinks Botic vdZ looks the better player? I know the score doesn't lie but...

[@bonzwah1]

botic plays beautiful tennis, gaston plays scrappy tennis. Botic could get double bageled and still LOOK like the better player you know?

[@Timothy_Pitt]

@@bonzwah1 That seems to be a paradox of tennis I am still trying to understand how that is so

[@bonzwah1]

@@Timothy_Pitt people just need to give scrappy players more credit. Gaston is one of the best movers in the game, and he has great hands as well. It's not easy to do what he does...it just isn't pretty either haha.

[@va6680]

Botic was injured, he couldnt move well

[@astonm.8173]

It is just the highlights, all about consistency and Botic was injured, he couldn't run properly for most of those countless dropshots.

[@romaingamard4038]

Who win ?

Comité val de marne ..vous êtes grave 😂un récapitulatif sommaire avec que des images du mec en rouge Sans doute de votre région et,au final ç est gaston Avec peu de points gagnants diffusés qui le torche...🤦🏼‍♂️💪🏼😁

[@ayoubgasmi9574]

A moins que les pays-bas soient au val-de-marne je ne pense pas, ça montre juste que pour gagner des points il devait mettre plus de points impressionnants que Hugo ;)

[@mvpmott4840]

Le titre de la vidéo c'est "best points from both side" ce qui veut juste dire que Botic a mis plus de beaux points et pourtant perdu. Si si, c'est possible :)

[@passionpourlessportsextrem2768]

Le problème de Hugo Gaston,il est trop dans la défensive,il n'attaque pas assez.

[@antoinethomas6570]

Il gagne quand même le match au final. Chacun son style même si il y laisse certainement des forces. VDZ est devenu un très solide joueur de dur c’est bien d’arriver à la battre.

[@passionpourlessportsextrem2768]

@@antoinethomas6570 Tu as raison. J'aime bien Hugo Gaston, il a style à part mais j'ai peur que s'il joue trop défensif il va perdre des matchs importants. J'aimerais bien qu'il retrouve son niveau de 2020. Ses amorties sont incroyables.

[@Mohe86]

@@passionpourlessportsextrem2768 mais il est bien plus fort qu'en 2020 hein Il a vachement progressé et s'est épaissi physiquement ça lui permet d'être vraiment plus incisif sur ses attaques et grapiller quelques km/h sur première balle

that's some amazing pushing if he's able to beat a talented attacking player like Zandschulp in an indoor court

[@veganpork7601]

@@abujabi well yeah obviously. he is a world-class pusher, partially because he is an amazing athlete and has great feel for the tennis ball. unfortunately, he uses those skills to push and grind until his opponent gets tired

They both play amazingly well. They would destroy me or friends of mine (amateur tennis players) in 30 minutes. Now imagine how both of them would get destroyed by the likes of Djokovic, Nadal, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, ... Sometimes I doubt we all play the same sport

[@rkstudio2579]

so boring Game. Hugo just dont have idea, only drop shot each time. so amateur.
