I played a D3 Walk-On!

[@gaspardieu558]

Hey Winston! Long time fan. Could you please stop randomly hitting the ball into the net. Thank you!

[@a2max280]

It's weird. The net is always higher on Winston's side.

[@TheRmm1976]

underrated comment lol

[@johnnyblackrants7625]

Winston has so much integrity - gets cooked 8-1 uploads anyway full grace and complementary of his opponent. That’s why this channel rocks.

[@BassByTheBay]

Indeed, his low ego is rare and appreciated.

[@matthewburgar2626]

Matt is solid. One of the best D3 players I’ve seen in a long time either online or in person. His defence is awesome, and he has great speed.

[@Boston-prince]

I kept hearing Karue's voice in my head with every stroke Winston misses

[@TheNeoske]

Matthew was insanely good. Props to him and to you too for putting the video even after a loss. You played good, he was simply better

[@tampaed]

Matt has some really solid strokes on both sides.

[@kenttalcott8428]

Matt is definitely going to see an increase in his rating. He is a perfect example of how difficult it is to play against someone who may not be great at anything but is very good at everything. He was so consistent, defended well and simply played smart the entire match. Matt's analysis of Winston was pretty dead on. good stuff.

[@MochiNPRA]

Matt is a beast, great power and spin production. Wish him the best on his way up the ladder.

[@TheEriclikeseatin]

Sheesh, this was terrific tennis. Props to both players. Matt was barely sweating by the end of this pro set.

[@Harmlesscell]

You could easily convince me that Matt is a 10 utr, his consistency and footwork are his biggest strengths

[@BassByTheBay]

Yeah, and he's probably higher considering he's still getting back into tennis after taking a break.

[@trifectafn5341]

Well he trained in Europe so his utr is probably slightly underrated

[@tenniswarehouse]

Matt seems like a pretty cool dude. Great playing as well. If homeboy needs some grommets, hit us up. We gotchu!! LOL💪🎾

[@WinstonDu]

he would take some lol

[@ChaunceyDos]

Matt is one of the most athletic players I’ve seen on this channel. Like a d3 alcaraz, violent agility. He can play for any d3 team in the country probably. He should contact the coach, they can give him an “academic” scholarship if it’s a top private school.

[@Johnnybgood76]

The top D3's typically don't have anyone lower than a 10-10.5 UTR in their starting lineups.

[@Justin1one]

I see people saying Matt looks like a 10. He would be if his serve was bigger. Good player. Didn’t need to walk on D3. He would be in the main lineup on 95% of D3 teams.

[@awgagasfaf]

Dang man I knew you can get to 100k before the end of the year! Great Job Winston!

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

Solid strokes and smart playing from Matt. Not many people play that good all around. Maybe more variation and power on serves possible? Maybe more flat forehands? But it's highlevel already. Rematch!

[@bbb12345]

Go for it, Winston. Nice job and great content as usual.

[@Dfblack2008]

Really enjoyed today's video. Both of you played great and I enjoyed the questions at the end.

[@LolaFansOnly]

100k soon❤

[@mrchuckles1022]

I was really impressed with Matt’s backhand. It really moved through the court. It seemed more powerful than his forehand at times.

[@IronFudge]

Winston's backhand has improved so much!

[@BassByTheBay]

Great advice from Matt. Winston, I feel like I see you having a hard time breaking old patterns. Karue gave you advice similar to Matt's some time ago. That said, I do see you occasionally putting in some flatter serves with more pace, and I hope you keep going in that direction because your kick serve doesn't have nearly enough spin and pace to do any damage. At least some pace will give your opponent less time to tee up the ball. It seems you're always on the cusp of moving up in level, and your fans wanna see _you_ give a beat-down at least once in a while 😊. Breaking some of those old habits will help you be more consistent and hence more competitive. Anyway, was good to see Matt here. If this is him still getting back into the swing of things, I'd love to see him back in the near future. P.S. Matt, you don't need to apologize for Winston's UEs 😊.

[@cayvenyi5370]

I definitely think he’s better than his UTR says lmao

[@zlzhao1104]

Matty's forehand looks like Fognini's. Clean and efficient.

[@Ta3hoon]

I must say Winston, your groundstrokes have improves a ton over the last year. Completely different level to where you were earlier in the year.

[@seank468]

great game. Matt is a great player.

[@michaelchurchill1048]

That guy is an animal. How tall is he like 5'4"? Incredible power. This is a masterclass in the importance of raw power -- and the fact you don't have to be tall to generate it. Wow.

[@WinstonDu]

around 5'6 I think

[@davidszeto5294]

Good match. Winston has improved a lot over the past year. A next step would be improving in comfort and competence at net to finish points. Otherwise, opponents can run down balls and just float them back to reset the point back to neutral.

[@Mendouksaii]

Mathew is soo good its insane 🔥

[@finnishinsider1569]

Brilliant little player. Diego Schwartzman/Sebastian Baez vibes. Very impressive.

[@heatherperleberg7816]

Hey Winston, just want to say that whatever youre doing in the gym is working wonders! You look huge in the thumbnail!

[@jasonrowland1594]

Great match! Matt is definitely better than a 8.9. Winston played well. Some great advice by Matt on Winston's footwork.

[@Jacob-rq5zb]

What is Matt’s height? I’m not sure if Winston is 6”4 or Matt is 5”2

[@m.myriel2182]

Karue's about 5'11-6'0-Winston is about the same-so Matt is probably in the 5'3-5'4 range

[@WinstonDu]

around 5'6 I think

[@ReyYbarra]

Fun match, majority of Winston’s errors came from him trying to force a forehand or the forehand being on his back leg. Even Matt had missed forehand’s from being on his back leg… we all got work to do.

[@skyfox22342]

What I notice that can improve Winston's game the most is working on his footwork. Bad footwork leads to very bad shots. I think he could benefit from running drills as well.

[@lucasv1]

you're one of the best youtubers out there, please dont talk to little girls!

[@dankmemer459]

Let’s get Winston to 100k 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ayushshah6309]

this was a high quality match! also I and a few players from my college club tennis team would love to play you some time and we are based in Irvine, if you are free lmk I can provide my details

[@bluephoenix8630]

Which D3 team did Matt go to, like how good is the tennis program? I currently play d3 tennis and had like a 10.45 ish UTR at freshmen year of college at a D3 school and think he should be able to start in most teams but may not be able to for nationally ranked teams.

[@ayokay123]

Matt plays incredibly well, especially for his shorter stature. I'd be curious to know what racquet head size his Pure Aero is and whether or not he uses an extended racquet. Again, he's an incredibly good player.

[@WinstonDu]

100 sq in Pure Drive standard length

[@chuckersthenut2097]

Did that guy miss one shot besides a return?

[@a1993d]

lmfao. bro got cooked

[@VeganBoyDDB]

hello! can anyone here explain what a Level 4 USTA tournament is? does it have something to do with the NTRP levels? much appreciated!

[@andrewlee5853]

What D3 school?

[@deklavier]

How do you like the Alex de Minaur fit? That's all I think about when I see this Asics color way haha

[@WinstonDu]

makes me feel professional lol

[@huyngo2655]

Matt made less than 10 ues and only made one service return error i think.

[@adamromero]

I want Winston to play MEP! 😀

[@aidananimation123]

How tall is Winston ?

[@TMPOUZI]

a bit more topspin and 2m above the net could save you a lot of these frequent unforced errors. Also you need to lean forward when striking, not backwards

[@town-on-the-hill]

You played well

[@vagabond197979]

What is Winston's overall record on KZbin?

[@WinstonDu]

1% win rate

[@chopsticks7411]

Winston you played very well against an opponent higher ranked than you!

[@traceww]

Winston do you ever play in singles tournaments? That would make for good content I think to see you against other 4.5 rated players in a tournament setting.

[@WinstonDu]

played one earlier this year and maybe one at the end of this year

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

guess size doesnt matter in tennis.. winston has him in the physical stats but got manhandled...

[@fprocks2415]

Do you think Winston can win a point off Djokovic?

[@WinstonDu]

yes

[@fprocks2415]

@@WinstonDu Really? I reckon I can win a game off Djokovic if I concentrate

[@aztecterp]

Matt is a D-2 player at the lowest, not D-3. He's really good. He was kind to gift you a game too 🙂

[@bbrrwwnn]

“D3”? The kid’s good! Better than D3. Winston, I thought you missed a fair number of approach opportunities maybe?

[@sayles7858]

Actually he’s not way better… which is why he was a walk on

[@07TBoneMarcus]

Your footwork seems to have gotten worse Winston. You have some past matches where you were able to setup and position yourself way better than this match. Thanks for the content though.

[@a2max280]

"I got in to a D3 school." How does one not? 🤔

[@WinstonDu]

some D3 schools have really strong tennis teams and academic standards

[@sudiptamallik1006]

Partially due to the influx of foreign players, the difference of levels in divisions for tennis isn’t as high as in other sports. Top guys at elite D3 programs like Emory, UChicago, Case western reserve can make the rotation at many D1 schools.

[@TenisAmador]

Usually the #6 player in a good D3 school is a +10 UTR. #1 can be a 12. If you go to the UTR site and look for the universities, there are charts that shows their lineups vs their conference rivals for every position in the lineup. Top D3 tennis schools are tough.

[@bluephoenix8630]

@@WinstonDu Yeah there are some really good D3 schools with academics. I'm not the best tennis player, like a 10.5 UTR at my best and I was playing 4 at my school

[@bluephoenix8630]

@@TenisAmador Yeah I can confirm I play number 4 at my school and I had a 10.5 UTR. I don't think UTR for D3 is accurate sometimes since there is huge deflation. One of my teammates started as a 10.89 first year and dropped to a 9 after a couple matches cause everyone's UTR is so deflated in D3

[@frankyherrera2670]

A d3 walk on? D3 college tennis is very low level with the best players being 10 to 11 utr. 8.9 UTR could easily make a d3 team anywhere
