I Played a Tennis Influencer!

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Thanks for a fun match Winston and getting to connect with you in person! Love what you are doing and look forwards to seeing you in the near future. P.s. Come to Wimby 🎾🌱

[@nguyen925]

It looked like Dylan was going full send with every shot but his timing was impressive. Good play from both players! New tennis content creator for sure 😂

[@blaster36000]

Honestly, you're at minimum 13.3 UTR Dylan, there's no way your pro level diminished, while you went into tennis content creation! Also, I think I should now hint at a clash between two certainly big tennis content creators? (Gee vs Sell?) 😏😏😏

[@SpiritSlayer1]

What I love about Dylan’s content is that not only is he informative, but he’s also very entertaining! Good playing from both players 👍

[@angelalonzo03]

Dylan is freaking amazing he's probably like let give you some free coaching quit tennis and play pickleball you might be good at that lol😂

[@cupidok2768]

Omg he smiling so much! They are in the same country?

[@cotidiefps7275]

Behind the politeness is a monster. Thanks for capturing Dylan playing some match play Winston, never expected him to be that lethal. Great Collab guys!

[@Belinera]

Let's say Dylan was very "gentlemanly" during that 7th game 😁 But that's great hitting Winston, his game's truly 13+.

[@CrabNoodleSoupp]

Dylan should do a tutorial on how to speak that smooth, posh accent.

[@Tenniswithdylan]

😂

[@brownfifarookie183]

He is English so I guess politeness came from there

[@ellison2546]

I saw many of his videos but didn't know he was a monster. You can tell so many other internet coaches are not great and not fit for tennis, but was a pleasure to see a bit more of his personality and his skills. Great content Winston

[@maxwellrabin_properties]

This guy is so polite! It cracks me up how chill he is

[@RonnieJamesOsbourne]

Today we got Karue vs Taylor Fritz, now we got Winston vs TennisWithDylan... Let's Go!

[@james-tennis]

Definitely some great KZbin tennis today!

[@zlzhao1104]

Karue wined everyone he played. Fabulous.

[@aj4819]

Love the KZbin/Influencer tennis community at the moment, just such a positive vibe to it all. Great content here! Shout out to Dylan too. I didn't actually know his background or that his level was so high, have just seen his Instagram content. Have to say he seems like a really decent person too.

[@WinstonDu]

great guy

[@gihan84]

This was literally free advertising. Insane playing by Dylan

[@james-tennis]

Both benefit from each other and we get to enjoy good tennis 👍

[@CameronNewland]

I have no idea how Dylan would stack up against Karue head-to-head, but I must say, @tenniswithdylan is the first player I have ever seen on your channel who seems like he might be able to give @MyTennisHQ a run for his money! Let's see that matchup!

[@SwanTech6061]

govind?

[@OdinsMonkey]

govind was super close.. i guess marcus giron has technically now been on the channel too (and a few pros in the last week for quick hits) and he has beaten karue

[@james-tennis]

Definitely a collab id like to see. Karue just beat Fritz in a practice set, albeit Fritz look hung over and they're comfortable hitting partners, but Dylan does look really great here it would be interesting. If Karue's serve isn't on then it might be close. Plus the lefty factor is real

[@dpadron]

As of now Karue will take it, Dylan has not been practicing and training anything like a pro. Fitness alone is huge. But if Dylan were to train I don’t know, his strokes are awesome.

[@ChaunceyDos]

Dylan might be more “talented” but Karue was and is on a higher level. Their ranking and results, past and present, are definitive.

[@caseyterbeest9394]

“I’m not even playing bad and I can’t win a point.” Hahaha, that is 100% spot on, lol. You’re playing good tennis and it just isn’t enough. Seems like a fun and frustrating challenge, haha. Love the content. Great effort out there.

[@ryantraniam]

I follow Dylan on TikTok and always wondered how good he was since he only posts coaching/stretching videos. But Dylan is damn good

[@seanysean86]

Dylan is the real deal. One of the few tennis influencers who’s actually great at tennis. Much respect for putting his skills on display for the world to see. I’ll definitely will keep listening to his tips. Pros for Winston for the great content. Keep up the good work y’all.

[@lucianogonzalez8597]

Dylan seems to be the nicest guy on earth

[@sh0ck815]

he was in fact... legit. lol so happy to see my favorite two content creators link up, both of you are awesome at your craft and make amazing content to help grow the game!

[@kenttalcott8428]

Congrats to Winston for your willingness to take a match when heavily out gunned. Not to worry, the nightmares will fade away in time! If you are going to get whooped, always great get whooped by such a nice and polite player. Dylan is the real deal!

[@gabrielfernandez9792]

Have been following Dylan for a while now. Great Coaching advice on his channel. I also enjoy his personality. Thanks for having him on the channel and hopefully we'll see him again here.

[@Simon.Freund]

@tenniswithdylan absolutely cranking it, and not taking any prisoners!! Great collab 🔥

[@brokerminh]

Need to see Dylan up against Simon 😮

[@saugus2]

Dylan needs to be in next year Winston’s UTR bracket challenge !! That serve is monster!!! He look like the most aggressive player Winston ever faced! Mr Sell is still better since he is literally playing the tour now but not by much !!!

[@kid820208]

The BEST crossover episode from 2 of my favorite tennis content creators. Dylan is soooo humble and just realized how good he actually is!

[@robertcollins330]

Dylan clearly the experienced ex-pro and the killer instinct of a smiling assassin. You’re both great players though! Top video guys. 👏👏👏

[@jwinn007]

Dylan is a beast but sounds like a nice guy too. Definitely will start watching his channel.

[@tenniswithric]

This is so good, Dylan's in town! Dylan vs Karue or Hermont next!

[@milancollin1819]

I really love the way Dylan is playing.The variety is difficult to beat when it is done with such a precision. But that divides the good from the less good players.

[@EdgeriPlaysTennis]

He literally showcased every element he mentioned of his game in the first 2 points. Dude is a beast! Great video!

[@DanTuber]

Dylan should give winston a serving lesson

[@thelonelydekuscrub4817]

Winston you're by far my favorite tennis yt channel keep it up

[@WinstonDu]

I appreciate that!

[@samackin6032]

Winston you have been hitting with some bigs lately. Goes without saying but your game and level have come a long way since I first started watching your content. Keep it up. I do wish we could have gotten some more insight from Dylan about how he would advise players going up against a stronger opponent. Thanks for posting the clip!

[@jgugala]

God, he beat you so politely.

[@xart23x]

Dylan!!! One of first ig tennis accounts I followed 2.5 years ago when I got back into tennis. Such a calm, sweet guy and good coach with a lefty swing I could relate to as fellow lefty. Had no idea he was this powerful and badass. 😳 Follow his account, very clear and great advice. Thanks again for a great video Winston. Awesome collab. Dylan!!!!!!

[@jakeclemen4786]

Great stuff. Dylan's clearly at that 11+ UTR. I take issue with the title, though - YOU are a tennis influencer. It's really nice to watch somebody like you who makes this all so approachable and down-to-earth.

[@random.tennis]

Very impressive from Dylan, being able to maintain such a level after all these years! Great inspiration for his player that he's coaching

[@neilangeles396]

Dylan and Karue easily have the best tutorials on hitting a kick serve.

[@SpiritSlayer1]

Dylan’s playing level was outstanding!! He seems like such a friendly guy, but on the court he’s really a deadly beast! Amazing playing from both players ♥️

[@Tommie22x]

way to stay positive winston! you gutted that match out! dylan was tough. but your spirits unwavering! great video! you improved so much since the beginning of this channel, and it shows!

[@djaziztube]

Lefty kick is something that is so hard to be prepared for. Juniors out there if you meet a good lefty server make sure to practice with them so you aren't caught off guard in a tournament setting.

[@Tlevy2]

Great stuff again. Dylan is very good to say the least. Agree with the comments that he is the first pro-caliber player I've seen on your channel outside of the actual pros and Karue.

[@IanHom-p5s]

One thing that immediately stands out is how fit Dylan is, he's a precision player and makes everything look so smooth and effortless

[@kururugi8221]

I’ve been following him for so long! Love this guy’s personality

[@ilycalebb9913]

bro 4:49 got me dead, the reaction by winston and everything lmaoo

[@kc24jack]

DYLAN!! I'm so glad to see him on your channel!

[@rdmalonso1]

Nice match Winston. You are brave to take on these great players! Dylan has great content on his channel .

[@jeffbernales7067]

Been following Dylan on his Insta and love his content. Great to see he’s quite a player & a true gentleman!!!!

[@dougsmith5920]

Winston is like thanos, collabing with every tennis influencer. What’s next Federer? 😂

[@WinstonDu]

Djokovic

[@schmoglickstein2700]

Winston - loved watching u run after balls to no avail. 😂 I really enjoyed watching this match. Dylan’s got serious game.

[@TimelyAdventure]

Another banger from Winston, also impressive that both players seemed to be hitting well (score notwithstanding as Dylan is semi pro) even with first time using both rackets. With Dylan, amazing kick serve out wide to the forehand and also the way he loads and explodes on the forehand.

[@PerryLoh-i1w]

Hermont v Dylan wouldve been an interesting match

[@DelZ3030]

Stunning strokes from him. Hadn't heard of him before, will def check him out

[@gho0osting]

Hard work is paying off man! Congrats and the guests just keep getting special!

[@bakerandthebug]

So great to watch. Thanks both of you! 🎾

[@seank468]

oh..so glad to see dylan here. Dylan is really cool guy..love his content.

[@xdorothy]

Damn, will def be taking Dylan’s IG reels more seriously lol. Awesome game!

[@emanuelmcgee182]

Getting the “Tennis Doctor “ on here would be dope!!

[@hankpeng]

Great video! It made me LOL watching Dylan's fireballs come at you.

[@aliashir8880]

Finally seeing Dylan in action first time. Great video Winston👏

[@kbob9625]

Man the way he flattens that forehand when you give him one in the sweet spot off the serve in the AD court. Just a hammer.

[@lyndseyandandrew5771]

Some outrageous Karue-level returns going on!

[@eddysaur]

you're on fire lately, winston! great content. dylan is a beast!

[@Rigo_S]

I secretly think dylan was upset to give away a game, so good job for stealing it!

[@incacube]

dylan might be the nicest tennis coach on the internet but he is a beast at the court and you can understand it from the first hit.

[@finnishinsider1569]

I’m a fellow Englishman and Dylan is beyond posh 😂😂 very well spoken and a great player. Very impressive. I’d make Karue the fav against him but it would be a fascinating match up if it could ever materialise, somewhere down the line.

[@jerryg9581]

Very cool! I played for Jax State in the late 70's early 80's. It's cool to see a guy from there.

[@applesforakbar]

"Dyyyylllllaann!" Insert Arnold gif. Damn did not expect you to be such a machine behind such a polite persona! Very impressed, well done guys as always

[@CTang-yw8cn]

The guy is crazy holy hits r so clean

[@WinstonDu]

he's legit

[@CTang-yw8cn]

@@WinstonDuappreciate ur vids keep them coming

[@mats1975]

Thank you for the content, you are also a great player ! ​@@WinstonDu

[@ceterisparibus969]

The difference in muscularity between Dylan's left arm and right arm is crazy. You can really see it in their initial conversation. Like the arm's of two different people!

[@darkjedi60]

Jesus Christ that was a massacre, fair play, Dylan can play real good… doing the UK proud!

[@tribe_called_oh]

Winston, you're level is higher than that. Seems like you were a bit flat and got caught ball watching. I'm guessing it was nerves, but without a doubt he was taking it to you and trying to overwhelm you early. Great stuff overall, keep the great content coming!

[@brianburns77]

He's 13 for sure. VERY solid tennis overall from both guys! Well done!

[@grantdelmege2724]

Great match guys. And Winston you did great to get a game as Dylan is a very high level player and could probably still play national/futures level matches and win. Dylan is clearly very talented and a very good competitor. We need to get Dylan back and get Dylan playing Karue in a pro set. That wood be great! Great match guys🔥👍👊

[@PDivision1]

He should play with Karue

[@jasonrowland1594]

Wow, Dylan is a great player! He's got effortless power on his groundstrokes. Another great collab Winston!

[@BB_Ye]

Dylan embodies the fire and ice that federer talks about. Ice cold appearance but absolute monster on court

[@albionicperpetrator1]

Dylan seems better than tennis brothers. Definitely higher than the 11 UTR you estimated him at!

[@azatron]

Good Hitting Winston. Dylan is a top player! He really smacked it.

[@mythcrab6047]

Wow. Dylan is nasty. There are levels to the game... Thanks, Winston!

[@tennisjourney]

Great job wining game 7. I love watching lefties. Dylan is so British and polite with some nice crispy pop on his shots.

[@ChowDownDetroit]

Dylan might be the best hitter I've seen on this channel so far

[@sudiptamallik1006]

Damn..Dylan’s got some serious game

[@kd-qx9us]

When I saw the vein in Dylan's arm I knew Winston was in trouble!

[@gogogoup]

thought he was just another pretty face, but the guy's legit!

[@jonathanchen1026]

Can we get a Dylan vs Karue 😳

[@juliandelacruz8170]

Winston - Love what you do for the sport! I noticed you don't split step. Add that to your game and it will help you A LOT! I want to play you when I'm in your area next. Former d1 player. Thanks!

[@EdgewoodTennis]

The only points Winston won were when Dylan made an unforced error. Crazy.

[@johnkantar8034]

To play at Dylans level it would require extensive footwork practice. Its not just about how quick you are running wise, its how light can you float on your feet. His ball comes back so fast that you literally must be in position way earlier and take that ball early. Easy to type this shit out then to do it, but yeah its tough to play those balls

[@SpiritSlayer1]

29,830 views, 972 likes, 191 comments, 78.8k subscribers. Nice!!

[@michaelp9061]

Dylan s rhythm is impeccable.

[@thientran913]

Dylan is a beast! At least you won one game! very impressive!

[@dpadron]

Wow! Dylan is Karue level of tennis seems to me. When will you set up that match Winston?

[@JeremySry]

I felt guilty watching this live, for free 😂

[@Zeparme]

What a handsome, humble man.

[@MomentumTennis]

@0:56 In the intro you can already see that Dylan is a lefty. His left hand is huge compared to the right one😮

[@luckyvinny]

“My Love Letter to Tennis” classic masterpiece 👌

[@Nerdzombiedisco]

That guy is a beast.

[@gomezaddams4347]

Love Dylan’s accent.

[@TVUntilTomorrow]

Dylan’s serve is a cannon! 🚀

[@jamesedwards3119]

The consecutive backhands Dylan hits starting at the 6:02 mark are hit too short. So those are hit with pace and landed short, like at the service line, and you can see that Winston is able to handle those easily and win the point. You have to hit deep first as a priority, pace a second priority. A short ball with pace is candy even to a much less skilled player.The backhand return Dylan hits at the start of the point (5:55) is perfect with perfect depth and pace. Of note, Winston probably should have run around his backhand at 5:57 (Dylan's return) and hit an inside out forehand to the open court. I could go on and on, but no one will probably read this, and I gotta go back to work, which is not tennis related.

[@NeelSandellISAWESOME]

Dylan is a beast. I can definitely see him being a good coach.

[@TheAbhi541]

Fantastic match. Really helps to see how levels differ. 6:27 shows a fantastic approach shot most people below 10 UTR including myself would have hit right into the net 4:11, you never meet anybody at the recreational level who can place winners accurately like that. Plenty of learning moments in this video to show the difference between a pro and a pretty good recreational player. Credit to Winston for being a good sport, and Dylan obviously gained a follower today

[@Wearepros-z7y]

Winston can you make tourial videos ?

[@gms9073]

Dylan's forehands were stupid fast. Great job, gents!
