I Didn’t Make The Australian Open Cut: What Went Wrong? (End Of The Season!)

[@Karuedoingthings]

Thank you everyone for the support this year. It was a total gamble to go back on tour but it's been awesome. Learned a lot so 2025 is even better. Lots of cool content coming (pre season livestreams? Who's in?). BTW, where are the car people here? Whachu driving?

[@paultune1696]

Great first year back on tour Karue and good luck for 2025. I'm very much a car person, I also have an Audi, as well as a couple of sports cars, including the new Lotus!😊

[@Karuedoingthings]

@ the emira?? No way! That's one of my favorite cars out there atm. Unbelievably good looking. Kudos

Car Person here, 2006 Mazda Miata as a daily, base model, 110k miles and have had it for a year, ive been slowly but surely, upgrading everything on the car to get it to as nice of a OEM+, clean, fun car. Its a blast, cheap to own, fun to work on, a blast to drive, cheap to buy. I recommend every car guy to get one

[@sinand881]

Who says crime doesn't pay!!! Hopefully that Rs will have an 2025 upgrade after Roland garos :)))

Me too.

Karue plz respond I saw you in Vegas and I’m ur biggest fan

[@mustangsally2048]

These personal review videos are what I love. Me being a introspective guy I enjoy hearing a touring pro reflect on his year

[@Karue-Sell]

The channel is great because it allows me to think deeper about the experiences and have an outlet for those thoughts. Keeps things clear

[@MrTome1975]

Did you get a call from Rio Open? This year they granted 3 WCs in the main draw, another 3 for the qualy and Seyboth Wild entered the draw through the rankings. As brazilian number 6 you clearly have a right to play this ATP 500 event next February. Did they call you?

[@ertugrulsanskopar8248]

PLEASE I need Karue to play an MD match so he finally gets a Wikipedia page

[@caioscofield]

Agree! Karue, you should totally get a shot! It would be great for Brazilian tennis too, even if you have been living in the US for over a decade. Create a petition if necessary, you'll get at least 20k signing it haha

[@cotasa]

Those are given to brasilians. Real ones

[@caioscofield]

Shut up. Karue went to the US to play tennis in college, not as a baby.

On a positive note, you would have had to play upside down, maybe fight boxing kangoroos, and so on. FO quali seems smoother sailing. Good luck!

[@Aardvark3154]

Sad that I won't be seeing you at AO but congrats on the season Karue! awesome to see everyone's online coach walking the talk and holding your own professionally.

[@JimmyOlsson]

What a run you've had this year, Karue! It's been a pleasure following you on KZbin and on Challenger TV! Here's for an even better 2025!

[@davelee6002]

In one year, to be in striking distance of making it to AO is quite the achievement and plenty of confirmation! Rooting for you next year, and for Jules Marie too, hopefully my two favorite tennis tubers will meet in 25!

[@aldrinhewakopara1605]

Hey Karue, thanks for the awesome content! Rooting for you and wishing for continued success. As a recreational tennis player, it's really difficult to understand what it takes and the grind to even consider playing slams - can you talk about some of the parts of the journey thus far that someone on the outside may not really experience/understand? I imagine travel taking a toll + being disciplined to just simply get better. How do you balance everything from prioritizing the things to improve in your game + physical/mental health?

[@WivoRN]

You should be proud my man. To RG 2025 we go!

[@johng3621]

You did awesome this year, and I loved watching it. I first saw you playing Winston and found your explanation of how you played him very interesting. When you switched rackets at the beginning of the year to get a little more power, I was like okay cool. And then you just played awesome all year. I most enjoyed the videos where you analyzed your matches because it gave us a real insight into what you were trying to do in points, things that you thought you did well, little mistakes that you felt cost you, and just the general momentum in matches. Great playing, great channel, and I'll definitely continue to watch to see how you progress from here. Thank you!

[@javiersoto1920]

I saw you this year live in Morelos Mexico and it’s amazing to see how far you have progressed. Keep it up Karue and hope to see you soon in Mexico

[@db-jn5cz]

Congratulations on embarking on pursuit of a dream and thank you for sharing your journey thus far with us! As you note in the video, you have accomplished a great deal while aiming for a lofty goal. And you've provided many of us with some great tennis in addition to these videos! Thanks again and I'm looking forward to following you in 2025.

[@ryder.create]

If you can, you should totally hit up Tyler, Texas for a tournament this year! I personally love watching your videos, and a lot of my coaches and fellow tennis players have at least heard about your journey.

[@cozyslor]

Great content Karue. We will continue to follow you on your journey. Go get'em.

[@jacobkuhn6517]

Dude what a great szn!! Its absolutely awesome to watch and there is so much to learn from you. Also can i say, i really like how well made this video is, it reminds of a little short film

[@Iamwrathster]

Hey Karue, love your content - the lessons, the fitness drills, the matches, your journey - big fan! Now that you're one of the best Brazilian players, are you thinking about playing for your country at the Davis Cup or is that something you're are not interested in at all (if given the opportunity, at least)? Best of luck and enjoyment for the next season. Armin (from Austria)

Denied entry to Mexico!!!!! And after the same thing worked just back in April! Oh Karue, what a blow. Bravo for trusting the Universe. Yes, it just is what it is. It was SO fun watching that ranking fly up thru the recap. Fantastic video, it is always such a treat to hear from you and see you play. Thank you!!!

It’s been very enjoyable watching your amazing year and journey. As a half Puerto Rican, 4.0 tennis player and USTA captain in his early 60’s, tennis has been a wonderful part of my life for many years and I hope it will be a wonderful part of your future as well, including a rise into the Top 200 in 2025. All the best!!

Great job on your year, Karue! I enjoyed your content and commitment to training, which is not easy as we get older (though you are still young!)

So sorry for coming so close and having a technicality keep you from the AO. But great job increasing your rank so much! Looking forward to seeing you at Roland Garros.

Honestly, that’s an incredible year! Well done! I’ve really enjoyed your channel and following along. I said earlier in the year I’d come to the Aus Open if you made it, but I’m too broke anyway so we can both aim for next year haha.

[@MrBolaextra]

Great video Karue!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, it's super interesting and exciting to crazy tennis fans like us. I follow you more than I follow the ATP circuit at this point 😂 You had a great season but I truly believe the best is yet to come, you have the ranking now to only play Challengers and make the jump to the ATP circuit!!! Best of luck from a Spanish fan 🫡🙌 PD: I forgot to ask a question: which do you think is your biggest improvement, that allowed you to win matches at the Challenger level? Was it the mental aspect or the physical one?

[@christianweigert6195]

Congrats on an amazing year Karue quartering your ranking 💪 Could you do an update of your match play trilogy ("manager mindset") after emerging in competition again? 😃

Hey Karue. Can you please share some insights about how it works to puzzle the travel arrangements/accommodations expensew in-between weeks of consecutive events depending on early/late did you exit a tournament? How do you manage to catch up the travel arrangements for the following event if you made a final? Is it standard to share/combine travel/stay with a tennis fella in order to cut expenses and give us an example if you can? Cheers lad
