Nik, this series is some of your best content. So much guidance for us in the audience. Regardless of the match outcome I want to thank Ema, Maci and Milan for their bravery and hard work and participation. This has been a real treat and something unique.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you from all of us 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@joshuadrabble9393]

I agree 100%

[@hansolsson3409]

This is one of the best series you made so far! I am looking forward to see the match! Go Ema and Maci!

[@endasthenrik516]

100% Agree!

[@miguelroda8779]

Agree!

[@dreamy7335]

Agree!!!

[@bashment7222]

Nik, I've been following you for some time now and this is by far the best content you've put up. Tracking the progression of both Maci and Emma is so informative and instructive. Looking in on their fitness, strategy, weakness training and also getting to be a fly on the wall of your discussions with them both is next level content for a tennis hack like me. Well done! Can't wait for the match.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you 🙏

[@ebrahimeslami5940]

It's great that you are trying to work on mental parts via technical training. It looks easy but is extremely difficult to implement. One of the best tennis videos I saw.

[@marcomonti9823]

Great improvements in both of them! Their feet now are moving much, much faster and their entire game are resurging like a Phoenix. Will be a good match.

[@joelariasdiaz6991]

Hi coach! Congrats on this series!!! Is a great idea to set this up through many videos! For sure this match will be a great one and we gonna have a big payoff! Ema and Maci are playing high level!!!

[@patrikmarflak6559]

I haven't been following the series, but this one is a really great coaching video, probably the best I have seen. Looking forward to the match, both ladies are good, Maci looks to be stronger on the serve, from the baseline and also on the net. But anything can happen in tennis, so I wouldn't write Ema off. If she manages to keep her head calm and plays wisely, she could have a chance.

[@serb095]

Super ste! Odlicno video!

[@abujabi]

I really love Maci's flat attacking game

[@bhuvneshaiims]

This is a great series. Looking forward to the match. Maci has so much natural talent. Ema is a great student - a tennis nerd. Match will be great. If it’s a single set i favor Maci. If it’s best of 3 then Ema’s fitness wins her the final 2 sets.

[@simplebalanceastrology]

hyped !!!!! itll be a great match

[@1988Allnatural]

You have Maci’s elite level ball striking vs. Ema’s all court game. Going to come down to who makes the least amount of errors. If Ema can sustain rallies she’ll likely win. If she tries to go toe-to-toe with Maci’s groundstrokes she won’t.

[@dirknc]

Cool, looking forward to seeing this match

[@jonathandavidsonvegas]

This is amazing content, great coach!

[@1kafka2]

Je lipo čuti da niste izgubili Splitski naglasak 💪👍🎾

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌🙌

[@gms9073]

Both ladies are looking super sharp. This one will be a war of attrition. Whoever has better conditioning will win. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

[@scissorsharp9032]

Coach Nik, The suspense is killing us! I’m definitely favoring Maci, like, I just bit into ice and it crunched less than Maci’s ball striking.

[@wtr7]

High level training. Excellent!

[@mb-shadow-f2v]

good stuff thanks nik. this is going to be a tough match for Ema, IMO. one aspect i havent seen other commenters mention is the mental part of the game. feels like maci is the stronger of the two, at least at this point, mentally. good luck to both.

[@evilchemi]

Great to see Milan back.

[@Merro959]

Wow I wish I had Maci’s ball striking skill and speed! She hits so clean and glides around

[@martinkincl2492]

Great series! Thank you! Very interesting to hear the coaching on this level. Wondering, if Milan have to play full effort?

[@scissorsharp9032]

Would be 6-0 Milan but at the end of the day, the girls will always be prettier!

[@joshualeifer3335]

Like the reviews. Thx coach.

[@georgishopov9477]

Fantastic content! 👏 Can't wait for the match! If Maci cut the unforced errors from the slow/high balls which Ema won't give her on purpose after watching this 😜,my money is still on Maci, but let's see how they both feel on the day. I am sure it's going to be a great match! 😃🤞

[@carlosmasgonzalez2696]

I think that maybe Maci's main problem with those high balls is her forehand grip, it seems that she uses an eastern grip, and with that grip is difficult to hit high balls because of the wrist position. But keep up that nice job!

[@SuPatennis]

Nice prep work!! Ema is an obedient student, maci is little of free Spirit, anyway I am picking maci over ema, even though both are equally match!! All the best two of you!!👍🏾. Looking forward for the match up!!😍

[@edwardypark]

Wow Nik great job on coaching these two. Maci’s play has improved a lot from good to great. I can’t wait to see the match. Will you be taking turns coaching these two during the match? Or voice over?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Won’t be coaching during the match

[@chanjaq]

Props to MIlan

[@petershort936]

Seems like for Ema to beat Maci, Ema will need to keep the ball out of Maci's strike zone. Either by using heavy high spin or slicing low. I think Ema should also drop shot her and make Maci run more. Giving her pace in her strike zone in the middle of the court is a recipe for disaster.

[@DougieSSyd]

Rumble in the jungle. Can’t wait for the showdown!

[@KidInTheHallway]

Love the joy Ema has when she does it right! Very relateable!!!!

[@elchanclascocina]

Indeed! which is interesting given she is a coach and an accomplished D1 player.

[@qyray]

Like the video Nik, keep making them. BTW, actually Ema was not close enough to the net on her volley. Look at the video and you'll see she struck the ball at the 4:38 mark at around the service line.

[@wengkwan895]

has to be maci whos gunna come out on top! her flat fh's are bombs

[@zokkostenniszone3282]

Hey Milan , what happened to the heavy top spins and mid court slice ?

[@Frilleon]

I love ema she has a great KZbin channel

[@elchanclascocina]

Lots of "nuances" in matches, styles, physical and mental strength, etc. I believe Maci should win given what I saw in all 4 sessions, but, lets see! Should be a good one!

[@jimmynguyen3386]

Love Ema, but Maci is a BEAST! Going to be a tough game.

[@yourtube9224]

10:26 that's me every day 😂

[@dgib1694]

Emma shows a little her temper! I like that she wants it! I hope she won’t get discouraged if Maci starts very strong

[@info781]

That is why eastern European women make great tennis players, they have that temper, it gives them fire.

[@Tennis_Siblings]

The match should be close between both but court might be a decider. If it's hard court, Maci would have the advantage due to her aggresive style of play. Ema would be benefit on clay with her footwork and her drop shot.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Match is on hard court

[@awachsmann]

I hope Nikola broadcasts the match live!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Match won’t be live. Edited version is easier to watch.

[@finzblazin]

I was quick to say Maci has this match won but not anymore. Maci may have power but lots of errors. Ema should just go deep w heavy top spin every single hit

[@MrFeast603]

How much more time till we get to witness the actual match?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Tuesday

[@lintonblaise2356]

Is that the Wilson Shift you bought? Nick?

[@24tomorrow]

Do they know how to slide on clay? Just curious, the shots themselves look pretty damn good

[@Zix210]

maci is playing incredible from time to time, but it seems the longer the hitting session or match is lasting, more and more unforced errors are creeping in on those balls where timing is key due to lack of footwork. Basically the risk of taken balls on the rise. If i would be emma i would ty to drag the match as long as possible. If maci keeps hitting those baseline bombs for 2 sets there is not much you can do.

[@yelenashpakovskiy7187]

Love this! Team Maci💪

[@ahmadjamal484]

Hi Nik. Why did you practice match play with Ema on clay and Maci on hard?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Logistics

[@ethanhan7402]

hey nick where can i check out the merch?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Its linked under the videos

[@ivansiryi8390]

Maci is on fire!

[@mejartomlinson7065]

Who is faster? De Minaur or Milan?

[@gillesderais834]

Milan but De Minaur isn't too far behind

[@alwaysprepared]

My money is on Maci. The combination of her power and movement, I think, is going to be too much for Ema. The only thing I don't know is how they both will react during an actual match with the extra pressure...

[@letsnotgohome1314]

Im loving this series! Im a beginner player, but to me it looks like maci is going to win. It cracks me up how competitive she is. "Will Ema be able to get that?" haha. but i guess to be such a good player, and win games, that trait would be so important. Otherwise you just watch you tube of people playing while eating junk foood like me haha.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

[@letsnotgohome1314]

@Intuitive Tennis yep I'm half way through. Looks like I might be wrong! .. They're such great girls! Loving it!

[@IamnotJohnFord]

I'm going to keep with my original assessment. I think it will come down to conditioning and drive. I think Ema will be able to weather Maci's power long enough to move her around enough to force errors and giving up on balls. Maci sets early because it takes less energy. And, she gives up on balls she might be able to get to if she hustled. I really do think that will be the deciding factor. Of course, Maci might move Ema all over the court with those sharp groundstrokes. Ema seems to get frustrated with herself more than Maci. Basically, this is going to be a great match.

[@FredYang]

Kind of feel Maci has more chance to win. She is more aggressive and confident. Finger cross.

[@sportscastercanada]

Nick, you should have offered Ema some cheese 🧀 with her wine 🍷 🤣

[@hafadaze9046]

What language is that Croatian?

[@EdmonBegoli]

Yes. Dalmatian dialect.

[@EdmonBegoli]

Daj da čujemo i Bosansko-Dalmatinski dialog!

[@marcelomilani9706]

Do you speak how many langugages?

[@MisterReZ]

As far as I know, he speaks croatian, english and german.

[@reuelray]

I don't know, Nick and his buddy are pulling that speaking foreign language business so nobody will know what they're talking about. 😂 Ole Saint Nick is a good ole coach. Hey gurls, too much push back, too much questioning. Coach tell you something, nod yo head and do it. I get it, both of you are coaches, and it's hard to get coached. You have to come out of the coaching mode and get into student mode. You have one of the best coaches in the world standing right next to you analyzing every single stroke and movement. You don't understand how blessed you are. Let your rack do the talking and yo feet do the walking.😮

[@reuelray]

OBTW.. at first I had Emma winning. Now I think it's going to come down to nerves. The match will be on video maybe live, either way hundreds of people will see it. Who can deal with it best will come out on top. If I had to pick a winner I will give the slight edge to Emma if she plays her game. Maci will probably start off stronger. If Emma can get her on the run consistently the tide will turn.. Nick you ole rascal, the views are going to top everything you've ever done. You are definitely going to get more subscriptions too. Ka-ching-ka-ching-ka-ching.💲💰💵

[@ssenssel]

Comparing both players from all videos made so far my money is on Maci..

[@theCieszynka]

Maci is very strong. If she spends some time in the gym and loses weight while maintaining her strength, she will be 2 levels higher.

[@miguelroda8779]

I think Maci will win!

[@Torres913]

Maci for the win I thibj

[@henryhoward855]

What a great concept! Well done. I feel Ema needs a running coach, too stiff legged and Maci needs more time on court and in the gym and less time in the kitchen. Maci gave up a few times, will not be able to do that against Ema. I believe Maci will win, by virtue of the fact her serve is better and she hits the ball hareder. I can not see how she thinks her forehand is better than her backhand. Shehits the backhand so hard. Good luck to both and thanks for a wonderfully educational series.

[@ampecsu]

😅

[@perryloh695]

If Maci can dictate pace and direction, she should be able to wear Ema down

[@rohit2512ddun]

Macy will be stronger player and Emma will be winner. Consistency and Fitness win more matches than skill and power..

[@bandui4021]

Zao mi je Ema ali Maci ce te razvaliti

[@ktandgt]

How much time was between the first training session we saw and this one?
