You have a very solid all-round game, almost at a pro level. It is good you are deciding to go to college - many colleges would love to recruit you. All the very best to you.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

Good hitting. One of the best recruiting video I’ve watched for women.

[@robertdenner2569]

Very good. The gap between her technique/ball striking and the pros doesn't seem big at all. Definitely good enough for college tennis and wouldn't be shocked to see her on the tour

[@alexbrands11]

Не увидишь..Она никакая!!

[@strongbrain3128]

Sorry to tell you: She doesn't have any ITF records, she doesn't play in the US, she has zero public record of her competitions. Her chance to get into any US college with a scholarship is near zero.

[@3gh2]

Your forehand is one the best I have seen among majority of the top female players!

[@sportsmediaamerica]

Margaryta made it on the Barry University team in Florida. Congrats!!

[@brazy1892]

Very solid game! I hope you make it in college and pros

[@keithhayes844]

I taught tennis for 40 years, and this girl has some SERIOUS volley skills. Great all around.

[@mrcutekorpanda]

I say as long as you can beat winston du in an 8 game pro set you should get a scholarship to any university of your choice

[@ayokay123]

Especially if you give him a 30-0 lead each game.

[@nguyen925]

🎉😂

[@timplaystennis]

Winston Du ain’t all that…

[@ayokay123]

@@timplaystennis We all know that. Fun to watch, though.

[@nguyen925]

Fun forehand spin between shots! Good luck to you in college and hope to see you on the pro tour in the future if you decide to try it out!

[@PQV-8898]

I would recruit her in a heart beat. Solid, solid all around game.

[@tonydaysog9164]

This is why the United States of America is truly a great nation, no matter what nuckle-heads on campuses say today. A young adult ftom war-torn Ukraine makes a video hoping for a chance to play tennis for a college in the US ... and she gets that chance, and she has an amazing year, winning all her matches for I think a highly ranked D3 team. America!

[@opticandersonopticanderson3364]

Amazing forms. Your first coach taught you well. Wish you all the best in college. Your serve is stable but not the most efficient one. Serve and volley is good, but consistent good drop shot is the key to set you apart from the rest.

[@logicrule]

I thought it's a video game, court is so clean, everything is so clean, strokes and all

[@donscott2681]

I annotate collegiate tennis matches, and I can say that Margaryta is much better than most of the girls I see. She deserves a full ride at a good university in the USA.

[@alexbrands11]

А что толку?? Она никакая!! Ее девочки из группы с "Островского" делали под орех!!🤣🌺🤣

[@strongbrain3128]

Sorry to tell you: She doesn't have any ITF records, she doesn't play in the US, she has zero public record of her competitions. Her chance to get into any US college with a scholarship is near zero.

[@wc3415]

really good tennis, post more!

[@Nirky]

Got a little hitch in her service motion but at 5'10" she still has a powerful serve. Can only get better!

[@jag3384]

She's got no hitch at all on her serve.

[@gnimensky]

she does have a hitch easily corrected

[@tqtrinh01]

Wow one video and over 110k views! Holy Hotness. A Rebekena in the making. So talented and Gorgeous. Good luck and all the Best!

[@svlagonda7417]

Great video quality. Nice to see more 4k/60 videos on KZbin!

[@martinpenizzotto4355]

Extremely clean strokes! Very pleasent to watch :) You'll be recruited soon, good luck!

[@slipperyblueclay2521]

I have watched a lot of D1 college womens tennis in the Southeast. You have game. Showcasing your volley skills was smart. Many coaches want an all-around player, not a baseliner.

[@samsnow7370]

Everyone shows off their all around game and as you state, coaches like to see that.

[@bigrobsydney]

Some technical feedback. Forehand - a disaster. Why? Multiple things. Your takeback is behind your centreline. This generates a few consequences. Timing for one thing; the racket needs more time to come from all the way behind you. This will hurt you in one of 2 ways; either A, you get a bad bounce, and the contact point isnt where your expected (and you dont have time to adjust), or B, your opponent hits a very hard ball to you (eg a big serve, or just a big hitting baseliner hitting flat), and you're struggling for time. Secondly, in such a takeback, you may ALSO struggle in retaining your balance, and being able to uncoil in a controlled manner. These are the two main behind-centreline issues. As an added bonus, you have a straight arm for much of your swing, and you are not maximising the lag and snap, which will give you free power. Look at Iga, Jannik, or Emil R. as players, and see what a short and compact swing can achieve (hint: a lot). Backhand - solid. Serve - I'm not convinced. You have a huge ball toss, and this is very inefficient. A few degrees error on release angle, or a windy day, and your toss is all over the place. I would seriously suggest altering the toss duration, and work on timing your stroke to match. Some non technical feedback UTR history - you havent played a UTR rated match in nearly 4 years. Go and do 30 matches (and do another 60 practise matches with friendly people outside any prying eyes interspersed within these), and then see what happens. The UTR is a useful tool for recruiters, and right now you are simply not represented with rigour in this metric. Sorry if this is harsh, but if I was your coach, I would immediately tackle these things, to help you simplify your strokes, and bring added efficiency into your game quickly.

[@harmoniaSINGS05]

Good luck! Your spacing on your forehand is something I'm working on. The volleys and point construction you got is very good!

[@heartofmay]

This one will be a big player for the next decade.

[@123Rockchild]

That serve looks like something I use to see in tennis books from the 70s…pointing the toe and the rocking motion.

[@leonecindodiez7913]

She will not have any problem in getting a full scolarship. Great decision from her and her family. Super solid player.

[@trumpetluv71]

She can hit. Wow. Tenacious.

[@robertlee7332]

She is a very solid player. Wish you the best.

[@TeamBob]

fantastic volleys

[@duck4344]

Good job ! I’m looking forward to see your next video !

[@kimdang4386]

Beautiful, clean, crispy shots. I’d see how u would handle body backhand shots though … excellent footwork

[@jdn8884]

Straight arm on both wings is impressive. Looks effortless powers.

[@oliverdesouza5741]

Great hitting, and lovely courts too.

[@AN-cy7xm]

You have a great swing on both sides. Good luck to you!

[@9r393]

I think she'll have many choices of colleges to go to. Good luck and maybe see you at the pro level !

[@TennisDK-hy7hr]

What a beautiful talent. Good luck

[@DarrylHebbes]

Amazing footwork… and your outfit is stylish too…

[@DonYang73]

Good hitting. Solid shots. Good luck to your tennis career

[@tennisblood]

Koroleva Margo!!

[@jasonhe6947]

The form is excellent

[@panyachunnanonda6274]

Wow I love to play tennis and I love indoor- tennis court and also the surface liked this.

[@nocotton]

If you're not already settled, reach out to Blue Mountain Christian University, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. You should likely get a full ride at any of the three. I know the coach pretty well at one.

[@Famouss]

The serve motion of her toss is what I enjoy watching most. Notice her left wrist

[@blakebarone1809]

Tiafoe-esque left wrist

[@howardd8097]

so beautiful

[@user-rv4ed2pn8x]

beautiful tennis. Good luck to your tennis career

[@caklerdogan9192]

Very good! I am waiting your new videos

[@renatujkee]

You're a gorgeous at play, well skilled!

[@ThDaniel]

For my understanding, do these aspirants upload these videos w.r.t their college education application, or are they aiming to join a tennis coaching academy ?

[@hj_guard]

I think you're so good at tennis. I'm curious. Is it a habit that you turn the racket every time you play? Or does it help you grab a grip?

[@TatsTalks]

Awesome. Best of luck!

[@mikec4834]

Let's hear it for her hitting partner! She is very impressive,should hold her own in her college career!

[@domichrome1825]

Good Luck!!!!

[@renatujkee]

One last question which string setup for this beatiful shot up ? Im drowned in blackcore and didnt love my ezone 100 now...

[@StaycationSafari]

Excellent, but why the grip change by twirling the racket after every shot? It wastes precious milliseconds which can make all the difference on the Pro Tour.

[@strongbrain3128]

She doesn't play in the ITF circuits, her habit of handling racket between hits is very bad.

[@alexseveromorskij5834]

Good luck!

[@loganfive5783]

I noticed that every time she hits the ball she flips the racket in her hand. I wonder if that is a habit she uses in a match.

[@cozyslor]

One comment, which I have seen some other young players do; She should lose the habit of spinning her racquet after every hit. As competition improves and the game speeds up, she is losing preparation time. I'm not a coach, just a casual player and fan. This seems obvious to me.

[@jimpowang]

Good play, good luck!

[@dannycooper7552]

Best of luck

[@akamanniefreshable]

Looks slow but normal for someone almost 6ft tall. Solid strokes, nice and clean. Should get some offers

[@bella-mm5yg]

너무 멋있다 진심! 화이팅❤

[@ChrisTennis]

Very good, good luck to you

[@testplatform582]

I wish you the best! Personally I hope you go to California, where I’m from 😊

[@julbee4777]

Is the racquet twirling a nervous habit or does it serve some purpose?

[@mpa1931]

Did you get picked up? All the best in your endeavors

[@dinh5532]

What surface is that?

[@ryanadams127]

yeah, I was wondering, too. Looks like carpet. We don't play on that in the US. So, might be a good idea to also show some play on clay and something like hard court. Adjustment to hard court can be challenging for some EU players.

[@gjettogjetto3347]

👍👍👍👍

[@maddiemaras]

your fit is so pretty

[@TNToncourt]

Very nice..

[@treplay8846]

Thats a nice straight arm fh

[@neonoir671]

Nice forehand. Untraditional but i like it. Seems like a bit of a long backswing though but i'd say it's similar to Medvedev's.

[@user-xx5jp6mr8z]

Оооооо супер)))

[@MACMOZA]

👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@Anthony28z-tc8jj]

any updates? did you get a scholarship?

[@quentincrisp6933]

Not bad but needs to load up more on her right hip with the FH & bring the racquet back more with her shoulder turn than her hand along with a more demonstrative extension of her non dominant arm/hand. This will result in a more effortless stroke with more power.

[@user-ej3gq6mt8w]

Those courts are in Ukraine? What is your current UTR?

[@bigrobsydney]

She is UTR unranked. Last match 2019...

[@alvisport1394]

Bagus sekali sister. Kamu harus latihan lebih giat lagi agar kamu bisa menjadi juara 👍👍

[@kaikei1945]

この娘強くなる! こういう娘が活躍してほしいね。 🇯🇵には、試合でも来日してはいけません。駄目です。 手足長くてサービスが観てる方が気持ち良いです! リラックスして適度な集中力で打ち続けているね。 ボレーは、🇯🇵女子U18と比較にならない上手さです。

[@alexbrands11]

Сам то понял что написал???

[@aiushadashinimaev7053]

Продолжай становиться лучше!

[@jmarcine]

Sign her up…

[@andikaanwar]

spinning the racket after hitting the ball is not a good habbit in my opinion. but other than that, she's good

[@TheCajunAsian]

Fix the serve motion, no reason to hang the racquet head that low for that long, it can be a true weapon... Other parts look real good, including touch 💪

[@winwell6271]

Just sent you an email about playing college tennis in Texas

[@FGReaperZ]

Really solid all-round game! However, try to not always spin your racket in your hands after every second stroke. It makes you find your grip very late and preperation for the next stroke very hard when the ball comes at high speed. I know that it's probably become a habit...just try to minimize it and record yourseld again. You will see a massive increase in preparation for the next stroke. Best of luck to you!

[@TaeNyFan]

She's the female Djokovic

[@renardinosrenard9581]

Классный подброс на подаче !

[@freddytan777]

Is it the court or the ball seems old - the bounce is lower than usual

[@ryanadams127]

nope, I guess it is carpet, low bounce is normal.

[@perets006]

при подаче в самом начале нет плавной петли. Останавливаешь ракетку. При длительном розыгрыше будешь терять силы

[@trex1448]

Sweet, sweet strokes. The best tennis is in Europe. I don't know what happened to American tennis. It's fundamentally broken. All the junior are doing the flip flap slap crap with hyper G strung at 55 lbs.

[@mikerzisu9508]

Not recommended to spin your racquet after every single stroke
