Big thanks to Keeps for supporting the channel. If you are trying to fight hair loss like me, go to keeps.com/MYTENNISHQ

[@Mondballer_00]

Important notice and too bad it’s not mentioned in the video: Talk to your dermatologist/hair specialist first before buying into such products.

[@town-on-the-hill]

Or maybe let it go and play like Agassi haha😄, you have the backhand already!

[@y2jandy]

Try Finasteride 1mg. It’ll reverse your hair thinning

[@germanslice]

I had a look at this practice set and the tennis looks pretty solid to me Karue, I like the short wide killer angles you go for often for which shows your skill level is pretty high and also wide down the lines, but just taking your time getting to it. not overcooking, but on your backhand slice, on low balls down near the ground you can't finish low on these or it just dumps half the time into the top of the tape when you drive it and doesn't quite get the clearance. To try to resolve that I switched to a low to high swing instead on that ball and that allows me to pronate the ball through the court instead of just digging it up out of the ground to try to skim it back as its known to hit short and weak or turn into sitters.

[@Simon.Freund]

I’ll get you next time… just gotta stay away from that backhand…. And that forehand 😅

[@EP-336]

Serve up more of them Swedish pancakes. That thing was awesome.

[@OneChallengeRemaining]

What are the rules for the baseline game? Feed cross court and return has to be cross court, then anything goes?

[@fearhand]

Battle of the backhands

[@MerKaBahDNA888]

I waited all 2023 for this video…

[@MoatEel]

I was just about to comment that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅

[@jamesmckinnon9473]

Best comment ever

[@MerKaBahDNA888]

Next video me vs one of them …… goal for 2024 help me get their brother.

[@robbertdekker1402]

Great video. I was hoping Simon would win, he was looking a little tired and it seemed he mis-timmed some shots. Anyway, we want more games like this...

[@bojack3827]

That REDONDO sign at the back of the court is so distracting. What idiot decided to install that??

[@joshz6289]

So lucky I could see this in person, just happened to be at Redondo Beach and could not stop looking over. So much more pace in person, and both ppl r super nice in person too

[@fornarnia7569]

Did you talk to them?

[@nascentnaga]

watching you play is such a joy. Your backhand is my favorite stroke but your serve and forehand are tied for second. Your serve just seems to effortless and accurate and today you had some real pop on the forehand side

[@adriantanskanen3914]

Peak tennis content. Thanks for making this happen. Would love to hear your thoughts on each other's game's. Both of you have some of the best (maybe just the best?) Analysis of play styles on KZbin. Would be awesome to hear a discussion about this.

[@agradina]

finaly some real ntrp 4.5 hiting

[@PeteInTheMatrix]

Great to see you guys play. My two fav matchplay guys. Glad you're healthy and things are good. Play some dubs with him sometime. Have a great year guys!

[@Ben_Weaver]

This is amazing. I have followed both of you for a while and was wondering if there would ever be a link up. I know it's hard with Simon being from sweden.

[@smueller12244]

Nice hitting. With how incredible your topspin/flat backhand is...I would use the slice to slice backhand less! Easy W, too clean. Simon played pretty well himself...volleying and lack of weapons got to him.

[@LunarEclipsism1]

Really great hitting and another great video. Simon's tough! Hope you both do great in Ithaca. Thanks again for putting together this channel and putting so much great tennis on KZbin. It's been a big inspiration in terms of me getting back into the sport the last few years. I even got some friends together to get tickets to go spectate at a big tournament for the first time this year (indian wells). My buddy asked me if there were any players I would be excited to see and I realized I'd probably be more starstruck to spot Karue walking around than any of the top ten, haha. But it's true! I'm more invested in this channel and his journey than anything you see on the Netflix show. Anyway. Good game, well played, and thanks for helping bring my enthusiasm for tennis back after a long hiatus. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@FlyingRacket]

Both guys will be Top 300 at the end of the year ... ?

[@DANCEFORRO74]

Congratulations Karue Sell, Wins ithaca M25 NICE!

[@ChaunceyDos]

Didn't even know this was going to be a possibility, two youtubers I watch relatively often. Great match. Respect how both guys don't let ego get in the way, they take on all challengers, and upload the results. Simon really reminds me a bit of a righty Noshioka. Hope he gets to play a Slam.

[@SM-hf1en]

really been waiting for this.. simon best tennis youtuber for mens doubles... karue best for mens singles. really enjoyed this

[@kennymarshall2197]

Difficult to see what’s happening up at the far end of the court.

[@roopher2]

Lovely to see two of my guys on the same court! Hope we see more of this soon.

[@bzo218]

Karue's backhand would put any pimps to shame

[@stephenrepass6399]

Currently at the M25 ITHACA, NY tournament watching Karue in the semis; Simon practicing in advance of his Doubles final next.

[@Wooist]

You have the smoothest hitting. So therapeutic :)

[@giacomosivieri3025]

Prediction 6-3 karue

[@Tlcunha81]

nice! Great match up!!! I want to see you playing Jules Marie.

[@JimmyOlsson]

Fantastic collab! 👊😎

[@berna783]

Hope you play Bakersfield tennis open (25k). Bakersfield is 30 minutes from where I, I’d be stoked to see you there!

[@KaruesellHQ]

I will definitely play that

[@chj0233]

Can you guys play a doubles tournament together? 🔥🔥🏆

[@RobBlanzy]

Two of my favorite tennis players!

[@FlorianSuri]

Looking forward to watching you compete in Ithaca! Good luck

[@sergiosimbula]

Funny, when you guys played the baseline game I took it literally and thought you didn't play a match tiebreak or whatever, but really played games but then without the serve. I thought what a great idea... But then I heard the score being 9-8 or something :)

[@jamesmears7552]

Well played Simon, especially after traveling and doing someone elses workout sesh!!! Big fan, looking great

[@Mishabtw]

Awesome practice set! Quick question: What do you think gives you the edge in a lot of the sets you play against these elite players? Just curious. You play a lot of really high level players and seem to edge it out most of the time in a relatively comfortable fashion. The sets always seem really even, but somehow you find a way to gain the upper hand so I know it isn't a coincidence. Do you focus on anything in particular?

[@y2jandy]

If I could hit the Like button for a 1000 times!!! Dream came true seeing my 2 fave 🎾 youtubers on 1 court 🔥 thanks so much for this collab and rooting for more to come 💪🏻

[@jamesmears7552]

Karue, man your striking is looking so clean!!!

[@shicobon]

Come on Karue, double partner with Simon in the next tournament 👏👏💪💪

[@KaruesellHQ]

Focused on singles. Body can only handle that haha

[@erikgarcia8143]

awesome video to watch in between the Australian Open highlights with the awful soundlogo EEEOOOH!! EEEOOHHH!!s at the end

[@rootdoc1997]

Karue, love the channel. Game is looking good, what is your ultimate goal on the your? Like top100, 50?

[@BoiProduction]

I really enjoy this match. Also is this peak Karue?? You've been doing really good in all your matches. Keep it up!

[@reuelray]

Without watching yet, Sigmund Freud is smarter than you. As a matter of fact, he's smarter than everybody, he should win.🤓🧠

[@marcomonti9823]

What about double? It seems you're good at the net, good return, I think you have the quality of strokes to make damage also at high level double atp game. Around the world, playing with top players, beautuiful cities....not too bad!

[@alexjustme1982]

Wooow 👏👏👏👏 long time waiting for this! Thx guys

[@vanvalium]

Would be cool if you would play doubles together there.

[@davelee6002]

Keep going karue! How much European stuff are you gonna sign up for? Eould love to see you fwce up against Jules Marie, another YT creator grinding it out there!

[@worldtraveller8654]

Both have great returns and no powerful serves.Simon better mover, Karue more consistent,evenly matched.

[@chensien75]

Did you all catch the deceptive pan cake slice that got a return error… Simon being small should get an extended racket to get more service winners

[@frankfurter7260]

Would have been more interesting if you played Sigmund Freud instead.

[@tennis4lever]

Karue pls answer. What do u change mentally/technically to play on clay? I have a similar style but in clay its harder to catch everything on the rise and my shots lose quality if I try to play heavy instead of flat.

[@IsaacPeachey]

amazing to have both top tennis youtube guys playing on my screen on a Sunday. although the game seemed to me a little tentative on ground shots. maybe thats just me? would have been nice to see a post match chat about how you both were feeling on court. outstanding tennis as ever though. thank you very much!!

[@chuckersthenut2097]

Man I was just thinking about this match last week. And here it is.

[@creativemagu]

Karue has everything to go to top 100 pray he gets better in receiving he will tough

[@gabrielash9433]

Fun to watch this! You guys are my fav tennis channels, really inspiring stuff

[@-Munditimum-]

Amazing hitting. Simon is incredibly talented. Hope to see him within higher rankings. Amazing content K. Always a great pleasure seeing you hit with your clean strokes and mindset with your game. Cheers and hope to see more of this! M

[@Winners-Only]

Big year coming for both!

[@KaruesellHQ]

for all of us

[@ChaCha765-SY]

Geez who put writing on the back of the court, hard to see the ball as you hit pretty hard 😂

[@kdesa1]

You make returning those serves look easy, amazing stuff

[@ilips6588]

Karue is just trotting around and smacking flat shots.

[@agradina]

tell marcos to practice his first serve and second.its a weakness for him.

[@marcelogarcia1]

It’s fun to see both of you playing together. Simon possesses a really unique style of playing and hitting the ball as well, which can make him a very dangerous opponent. This wasn’t much of a challenge however! Good luck at Ithaca!❤️🍀

[@Official.tadiwa]

Its not surprising karue is a far much better player

[@zeussatrid7126]

at 15:23 karue needed to slice down the line for an approach and come in :)

[@Fluzzel]

Shouldn't you be in Australia rn tho?

[@MJ-zb4lv]

Sick collab here

[@ggryffiths]

Play Felix again!

[@synhet84]

Damn is that *Sigmund Freud* ???

[@coolcartons2153]

K. Sell gets it done ✔️ (again).

[@vladivital4356]

Always love to see Karue's match play! During the match I noticed some heavy legs and tiredness in the plays and it all made sense in the end of the video :) Good luck to both of you in 2024!

[@KaruesellHQ]

legs were cooked. Tough training week

[@vladivital4356]

@@KaruesellHQ love to hear that! Hard work pays off as we all know. I am also in the process of trying to improve my fitness / conditioning. Its a game chnager in tennis for sure 🙂 Looking forward to seeing you play at ATP events, I will be rooting fot you!

[@tennisjourney]

10:20 The Swedish PANCAKE!!!🥞🥞 followed by the smile of satisfaction.🙃

[@EP-336]

That was one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. Only better was Rosol

[@tennisjourney]

Giant Killer Rosol? He was a beast@@EP-336

[@infinitepossibilities337]

I know everyone has their equipment preferences, but I think Simon would benefit from a heavier swingweight on his racquet. You can tell his swingweight is lower than Karue's, and there's a difference in stability/weight of shot. Karue plays so smoothly and lets weight of the racquet plow through the ball while keeping the swing under control. Simon has great strokes but has to keep that racquet speed up so high with more effort to get the same effect. I know it's something that's not easy to adjust to, but I really think some lead at either 3+9, or at 12 like Karue uses could do Simon some good for some extra stability/smoother power. Especially at this level where the weight of shots you're returning is so high.

[@thedpg5602]

Karue just plays so effortlessly

[@Joharilok]

Karue serving huge this day

[@davidcullen1078]

Love the vids, recently switched to percept 100d. How heavy are lead weights you add to 12 o clock? Tks

[@Mondballer_00]

4:40 - 5:50 Important notice and too bad it’s not mentioned in the video: Talk to your dermatologist/hair specialist first before buying into such products.

[@KaruesellHQ]

In order to buy you have to talk to a specialist. The service aims at making that accessible

[@erikgarcia8143]

damn that shot at 9:35 was so close! the exact contact point with the ground is lost in between frames, but it kinda looks like it might've brushed the line anyways fairplay I guess Simon had the better POV

[@shawnxs22]

What a joy to watch you two play! 🤩

[@rodrod959]

Please do a serve video and focus on the tossing/off arm and its role (& importance). Also, re staying relaxed - you do such a good job of it.

[@jeff3257]

I was watching for Simons signature reverse pancake serve. Did I miss it?

[@iagree4686]

10:20

[@akhrormuminov7180]

I feel like the difference here is basically 1600 guy's goal is to put the ball back because he is struggling with the pace. When Karue attacks, the guy is lost a bit. But that is the beginning

[@ST-ek6lf]

Katie has better backhanded

[@mezzaninedebt]

Your style reminds me of Bautista Agut! Super clean hits and great tenacity.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I can see that. Thank you

[@nassibneme]

Why is this point 8:44 given to Simon if Karue won it ??

[@KaruesellHQ]

just a mistake in the inputting the score. Relax

[@nassibneme]

​@@KaruesellHQ Hahaha I'm relaxed, I was just wondering. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@silverporsche81]

hi, I noticed that you do buggy whip often to do the short cross or cross court shots. Can make a short vid about it? Thanks, John

[@LTBlightthebeam]

Where's your camera dude Karue? Simon's dude teasing you with all the attention on Simon.

[@ILoveTennisVN]

Great to see you guys playing each other! Watching tennis from your channels gives us even more familiar feeling and close-up look than watching the ATP matches ;)

[@wildanekaputra912]

thank you. we tennis players love matches with this camera angle, keep it up.. btw the neo one handed-backhand spotted 15:20

[@mattiastennis]

Will be interesting to see how you go in 2nd round vs Kingsley. You had a solid win in the first round. A shame that Simon didnt get through to the main draw though

[@thiagolopes6394]

CONGRATS ON YOUR ITF25!!! You’ re the guy! Te desejo o melhor cara, aqui no Brasil em SP toda minha galera te acompanha, gostaria de ver um vídeo em português seu. Seria muito irado. Parabéns, Karue, siga em frente cara, sucesso 👏🏻

[@bendeuitch4439]

Everyone should watch Simons videos also there so good

[@xband]

Good luck to both of you! Stay warm up there, Simon should have an edge on cold weather acclimation!

[@watcher687]

Wide angle lens please.

[@pugsondrugs6556]

Dude you are striking the ball incredibly well. The future is looking pretty exciting based on the last few videos you have released.

[@arian0091]

karue the machine

[@DanTuber]

Ranking don't lie. You can see here the level difference.

[@ryantraniam]

Since when did Karue use On shoes? Review on them?

[@dustyroot4708]

I was going to tell you that you need to stay low through your shots especially on the backhand side, but your explanation at the end made sense. It’s not that you were being lazy, it’s that you were tired from the leg workout before the match. Good luck this year!

[@alessandroplaysaveragetennis]

huge dub karue!!

[@BrazilDan1]

I really enjoy watching Karue playing. His style is one I like: he hits "flatter", through the court, but with consistency. Offensive, but not all-in in every shot. He moves well and that backhand is awesome! Vai Karue, tamo na torcida! ;)

[@gomezaddams4347]

I wish that, just for one day, I could hit the ball as cleanly as you guys do.

[@pertjacanape]

I bet Karue's racquet is heavy. His swing looks slow and easy but the ball comes screaming off the strings. That's also how Nalbandian, Murray, and Berdyche looked, all of whose rackets reportedly weighed close to 13oz.

[@KaruesellHQ]

335 grams with string and grip and everything

[@pertjacanape]

@@KaruesellHQ Oooh U got that thing set up nice...let me guess: just under 2 points head light? Your technique is so clean, it's hard for me to guess right.

[@Janghwan]

don't you use the single's net post? won't it affect your game much?
