I played a D1 College Player!

[@WinstonDu]

Belen broke a nail hitting the forehand at 3-1, 30-15. Leave some nice comments for her for grinding through! haha

[@majesticaaa4131]

Ouch

[@TomMoose]

Belen is a great player. So fluid in generating power in serve and backhand especially. Great feet, that cross court dropvolley she had showed ridiculous feel as well. She missed many balls just due to rust so this was closer because of that I reckon.

[@hamiltobergeran5305]

This is exactly what he wants to hear and why he makes these videos

[@dustinfehr3466]

You cheated her. 4 serves were in you called out. You a lil btch for that!!!

[@ignaciorodriguez7415]

you dont play siriosuly when play against girls

[@ChowDownDetroit]

Belen's all-court style is refreshing to watch since most players are now baseline hitters. Her playing style reminds me Martina Hingis. I bet she is great at doubles.

[@robertorolfo]

Yes, that was a nice surprise. I also like her comment about opponent freaking out when she comes in, because they aren't used to it.

[@footfunk510]

Fun to watch. Belen has great technique, especially on her serve. It was also nice to see someone who's an aggressive net player and see their point construction.

[@dhp5789]

your content, attitude, and willingness to keep gettin out on the court is infectious. thank you and keep them coming!

[@yonester7]

Love this content. It's clear from the first serve that Belen is a high quality player (and so are you). Thank you for keeping this awesome channel going.

[@smueller12244]

Her first forehand sounded like a cannon. BANG

[@samdoessomestuff]

I just tried Tennis last night for the first time. Im hooked! You have great content. Thanks Winston. Great match

[@PerryLoh-i1w]

Really enjoyable to watch Belen's play style. Completely attacked your 2nd serve on her forehand side

[@cyksl7173]

Hey Winston! I've been watching for a few weeks now and I think you have one of those channels that is bound to blow up if it releases content on a consistent basis. Keep giving us great opponents and great matches, thank you so much!

[@WinstonDu]

love to hear that thanks!

[@mskcrc]

3:55 is how you capitalize off a weak 2nd server, really fun match from two excellent athletes -- great one, Winston!

[@mrst3ak]

Belen's got great touch at the net. Winston, the improvements on your backhand and serve are huge. Really inspiring :))

[@bobbyearles4230]

Agreed. Winston, you have improved a ton. Your forehand is looking like a real weapon, and the backhand has come a long way. You competed really well against a very tough opponent. I came away super impressed. Keep it up.

[@dougmilesmedia]

She's an excellent player. Shows how good you need to be at the D1 level then need to go up a notch to be able to play professionally on the tour. Good set.

[@Mattmerrison]

What she said about coming to the net is very true. Even if you come in on an approach shot which isn’t the greatest, many players freak out so you get control of the point or they make an error

[@hobbikats8744]

U of Arizona Alum here! Great video Winston and so glad you featured Belen! I hope she celebrates her great showing at Dirtbags when she’s back in Tucson ❤

[@lyndseyandandrew5771]

So jealous of those short ball putaways around the service line! Clean D1-level stuff. Great playing!

[@arnisbole7821]

Ummm clean ball put aways are club level stuff if your a 4.0 or better

[@hding98]

Great match! Belen's fast ball hitting near the side lines is a killer!

[@ComfortableTool86]

This was really fun to watch. I watched a pro match right after this and it made me realize how much i wish they would film those matches at court level

[@MsPriyaLal]

You keep getting beat by these pretty athletic and skilled girls haha.. Its great you have fun with it!!

[@kenttalcott8428]

When Belen was on she made everything look easy.! Great technique, variety, point development and wicked racquet speed when she wanted it. Winston handled himself very well. He weathered Belen's storm in the early part of the set when things could have gone away quickly. Way to fight and stay in the match. The slice serve was on fire! Very fun match to watch - good stuff. Well done by both players!

[@MarcBossYT]

Wow I really like the flow of her serve. Top tier! 👍

[@notagolfer9340]

Love Winston's intensity in attempting to get to short balls after she pushed him deep. Really love the fact that Belen would force him back with a deep ball in a corner and follow it up with a short ball opposite side.

[@DamienJemison]

Great match! Belen made a great comment at the end of the match about getting to the net and opponents no knowing what to do. I’d really like to apply this more with a serve and volley type game, but my volleys are horrible. 😂 Winston, you’ve really improved over the last year. Keep pushing and playing top tier opponents!!

[@TimelyAdventure]

Great forehands, lobs, and touch at the net from Belen, and love to see Winston's heavy topspin forehands doing damage, plus some nice serve out wide plus ones, especially some nice serve out wide and volley, nice playing despite some creakiness on the indoor surface

[@sethrose1325]

I am in awe of some of the backhands you’ll run around. Dude. Just hit a backhand 😂

[@timesworks]

Great match! Belen's service is flawless, and very good game overall, for sure she could be a great tennis player, hope to see her in the WTA!

[@luisliu7843]

Good match. Her play is methodical and at ease. Winton was playing defence most time. Good job Winton was able to keep up 5-4.

[@GrantTDM]

College tennis really helps develop your net game because of the doubles. Definitely notice the difference in players coming to tour from college.

[@RollinLeonard]

amazing player. I love her returns.

[@tenniswithandy]

Belen, your volleys are world class. So good!!! Winston, I’m liking that slice serve you’re hitting now on the deuce side. You used to rely primarily on the kick right? Excellent match and thanks for posting.

[@gilbrown4589]

Fun to watch. Well done. She hits HARD.

[@BassByTheBay]

Belen's form looks good -- looks like a D1 player. Winston, it seemed to me you were a bit more consistent indoors. Would be interesting to see you play some more matches indoors to see whether it suits you better than outdoors.

[@jasonrowland1594]

Another great player on your channel Winston. Belen has a great net game! This channel just keeps delivering great content.

[@WinstonDu]

thanks for the kind words!

[@davidrichard659]

Wow, she has a killer forehand and great net play - well done!

[@mikechan231]

Belen’s forehand is lethal.

[@tiejema]

One of your best videos. You were on fire and Belen’s shots are so clean. Keep the videos coming!

[@StreetWiseTennis]

She had a great game and nice touch. She really went for those lines.

[@pertjacanape]

Thanks Belen. Your tennis rox!

[@pedrox96]

I know it happens but 5:08 was not even on the line, her serve landed 100% inside the box.

[@WinstonDu]

Yeah I might've missed that one

[@radhaarunkumar133]

Agree fully

[@ssenssel]

Came here just to say this. Ball was IN

[@chrislw9053]

Winston I think you got hooked at 30-0 4-5

[@tampaed]

You have improved significantly. Great hitting.

[@adama2569]

She has the best looking return stance I’ve ever seen.

[@af02271]

A women's player who prefers the net! Don't see that often, love the all court game

[@matthewa7433]

Relax with the full length commercials Winston, don't be greedy

[@awachsmann]

That winner down the line to tie at 3 all was MONEY! 💪

[@escgoogle3865]

I thought it would be bloody out there but Belen had one loose game and Winston was working HARD. She was in control most of the time which is how I like it.

[@Nessaj87]

Impressive baseline performance from a player who said she don't like to stay at the baseline!

[@timyamasaki8261]

When i used to play in the 70s thru 90s, the aggressive players were serve and volleyers. I don't even hear that term anymore. Topspin was the conventional way people hit the ball. Now all the pros hit the ball fairly flat. When I started playing, wood racquets were what most players used. Then steel Wilson racquets and oversized aluminum Prince racquets came around. And then graphite racquets became popular in the 80s. The 90s brought in the thick-framed racquets which were extra stiff and transferred vibration down your arm especially on off-center hits. People used those rubber vibration dampeners between the middle two strings near the throat of the racquet, but it deadened the hits, so I never used them. Now older people have gotten into pickleball. I will never get into pickleball. It's a game, not a sport.

[@ItMaker5000XL]

This would make an awesome copy pasta...

[@squidjames7735]

pickleball and paddle are not for me. prefer open court and all that cardio work to win points.

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

She is an “ all court player “. That is the term she was looking for to describe her playing style. When you hit a ground stroke and approach the net to volley or on return of serve you chip and charge style of play.

[@Ray96744]

Her forehand had some heat

[@gregwall2023]

Good match! I really like her attacking game.

[@johng3621]

You played well. I expected this to be an easy 6-0 or 6-1 win for her, so props for playing her tough!

[@cambium0]

surprised that winston had trouble with her serve. what was it-big kick? she had her mechanics down though. so solid her forehand was noticeably better than Winston's but he managed to stay in it. She was just really good.

[@dkia111]

Belen is wifey material. She looks half Filipino. On a serious note, during the off season try practicing with a different racquet (more powerful) that will allow you to hit defensive shots more easier. I personally used the blade 98 for 2 years. The blade is solid at the back of the court, but it's garbage for approach shots, slice BH's, drop shots, net play, and serves. If you like coming to the net I'd experiment with a new racquet. The blade is good on offensive, but garbage on defense. Gluck!

[@williewasahippie]

Nice hitting by both of you! Winston, you keep improving as well. I think you can continue to improve your serve and get more power if you loosen up and get more rotation on your serve motion so the racket dips a little more, closer to your back. It seems like your arm is just a tad far away from the body and you are not getting full rotation that would give you more free power. I'd work on that with someone. That could bring up up to 5.0. :)

[@Thrilla4romManila]

Need to see a doubles match with you and Belen teaming up against anyone.

[@abrarqadir503]

she's FUN to watch damn

[@SamShrivastava-r2k]

I think you hooked her twice. When she was up 2-0 on serve calls. 😂. She still won. Tough player.

[@SaqibSheikh]

Winston has improved so much it’s crazy. Well done and keep it up!

[@ryantraniam]

Belen’s UTR is 8.25 which is really good.

[@dirkalester1839]

I enjoy watching your matches...makes me want to play more often. I'm from South Africa and we don't have all those rating systems,so it's interesting for me to see where abouts I would fit in. Keep posting more matches and thanks.

[@mfrankel8321]

Nice video. Belen is really enjoyable to watch. She has a great serve and some old-school agressivness. You can see the D1 talent. Belen definitely looked a little rusty and had a lot of unforced errors--which presumably would have smoothed out with more exposure playing indoors.

[@stackems666]

Belen is the greatest woman I've seen on this channel and it's not even close. And in general one of the best players I've seen on this channel. The only people I can think of off the top of my head who are better are Karue and Clay

[@josep9599]

What about Hermont?

[@WinstonDu]

@@josep9599who?

[@WinstonDu]

Jk lol

[@bmanbusee3812]

Wow. Don’t think so. Made so many errors. Seen way better players than this. Nice person though

[@ChaseSavage3]

She is definitely not one of the best 😭😭

[@mundi352]

great ball striking!!! love the content Winston!

[@-Munditimum-]

Too good. Would love to see her go against some other of your channel players Winston. On the other hand, I saw some movements and footwork I've never seen you do. Amazing progress and keep it up. Cheers and looking forward to more. M

[@tenniswithric]

Lovely indoor court there, great play Belen and Winston!

[@edwardypark]

Marry this girl Winston.

[@WinstonDu]

lol

[@squidjames7735]

Nice to see Belen inner reflect whenever she hits an ordinary shot out or into net.

[@gregtanner6324]

Man she can work that line on return of serve. Great match.

[@luxluv1012]

Great match! Enjoyed watching.

[@audox4885]

You played well, serve is getting better, just a bit more

[@Sweeney-Kubach]

What is everyone obsession with ratings? Winston just keep playing your game and keep trying your best, and I will keep pulling for you and your channel! I am a disabled 51 year old man, and I can beat half the people on here talking crap to you! You only have to worry about yourself and GOD! Just remember you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. This was an excellent match and a lot of fun to watch.

[@pedrox96]

I think you're really close to the 5.0 level, Winston. You're certainly not a 4.5 anymore. Really high quality shots overall. Your return game has improved a lot. I'm also impressed with your backhand. Once you get your serve sorted out, getting more consistency and going more for flat bombs, then you'll be a 5.0 no doubt.

[@jedrickboca5385]

He’s close, but serve and returns have a bit to go in my opinion

[@ryantraniam]

Maybe close but for sure not 5.0 yet.

[@K4R3N]

He can only call himself 5.0 when he defeats Mark Sansait 🐍

[@berimboplata]

Serve is keeping him stuck at 4.5 for sure. Too many consecutive double faults. And first serve isn't much of a threat.

[@ryantraniam]

@@K4R3N that’s not happening basically ever

[@jimhickox5181]

She is adorable, lol! Good player too!

[@ayokay123]

She's damned good and has beautiful touch at net. Only weakness is her first serve. Winston needs to make a greater effort in keeping his eye on the ball. There's no other reason for all those crazy shanks that skyrocket to the moon.

[@TotalTennisGeek]

She did just enough to beat you. Kept the pressure on throughout the match. Sounds like playing indoors is tough! Karue seemed to struggle with it as well.

[@nicoler227]

we need belen to come back for another videooo

[@manuelgilgoodman1126]

Beardown ! From a former U of A tennis player to a current one! Way 2 represent

[@nguyen925]

Holy belen! Shes definitely aggressive and she can back it up with good strokes! Reminds me of a Caroline Garcia! Great effort by both parties 🎉 and I enjoy indoor tennis too, just wish I had more free time to play. Hard to get out there with a 9month old lol

[@TennisHeartbeat]

She is all rounder not only baseline hitter she has excellent volleys! Great match to watch. Winston she is too good for your level (4.5-5) but you have improved a lot. 😊 Enjoy Tennis!

[@JayYeasmin]

Good play by both of you, sad you couldn't hold at 5-4 😭

[@dirtyreiner]

Loved the girls playing style. Very rare to see that agression from a girl. She took every chance. Like I try. No matter what😊👍

[@speedymr]

2:44 It takes 2 business days to get the ball for Winston 🤣

[@nascentnaga]

Belen has such dicipline on her ground strokes.

[@vagabond197979]

First thing that struck me is your kick serve is so much better after that little lesson with Karue!

[@pianosteph28]

Belen kicks ass! Love the content Winston.

[@rktechio]

🎾 I’m playing tennis from this year summer during weekends morning. Never played or watched tennis before. Learned the game by watching KZbin videos. I like to play with pros to see my game level. It will definitely fun game like pros vs nonpros 😂😂😂

[@Emily-k2b5k]

Love your channel. Simple thought. On both of your serves you need to drop your racquet head by releasing your wrist on your prep ( while tossing) rather than dropping from your shoulder. It will add more snap and 4-9 mph on a flat first serve. But as they say, unsolicited advice is self serving. No pun intended. 😊

[@paulcosta8930]

Wow! She kicked your butt. Awesome!😂

[@aztecterp]

Fun match! Indoors tennis is faster indeed. She's fun and very skilled. You did great.

[@exposureart]

very nice match. I really enjoy watching your videos. But isn't it annoying that the courts here aren't separated by nets? The balls are constantly flying over to the other courts or coming from other players, right?

[@bradbixel9816]

Winston, you hooked her at 5:08 lol!

[@roeeorland]

That lazy forehand slice all modern players have fallen in love with just because Roger used it so beautifully (when he actually needed it!) is a symptom of how no one takes the initiative anymore

[@movdqa]

For Winston, develop a modern backhand and flat and slice serves. You can hit much heavier serves with your height and build.

[@ceb7894]

Well Winston … really nice match!! It’s like she beat you hands down in both tennis and especially looks ❤…. 😂😂😂😂
