My First Professional Win !!! | Road To 1 ATP Point | Ep 17

[@DeeJayPuffy]

YESSS!!! Well done bro!! Good grinding!! Congratulations!

[@tennisbrothers]

Appreciate it 🙌💙

[@YesSirPhil]

Your opponent was so constistent. Always in the right corner, always bringig the balls back very deep, also when under a lot of pressure. Great that this didn't frustrate you too much (at least it looked this way), which is such an important factor in this sport. Good luck from Switzerland

[@youngsuit]

dang man i became a fan of you by working on alma mater records / hot mom usa - didn't know you were a tennis fan too!

[@DeeJayPuffy]

@@youngsuit Haha yeah bro! I played U18 ITF Juniors for a few years back in the day. Was Top 10 here in Barbados at one point. :D

[@youngsuit]

@@DeeJayPuffy Bro no way! i was actually thinking of heading out there for a while to see what it's like. did you play david king much in juniors? this is so wild... you're doing the same stuff as me... except way better haha (i was just college level, not futures or itf) also i did some videos for you back in the day when the label was still hot mom usa :)

[@rachitj3676]

Hey Felix, just wanna say a few things before I watch this video. I wanna say I am so proud of you for all you have accomplished and I wish you the best of luck in your future! Keep it up man!

[@tennisbrothers]

really appreciate it 🙌

[@kingjulian1428]

Epic stuff Felix! I think a lot of us (me included) have been watching you since you had around 10k subs and now you have grown so quickly (it has been a real joy) Keep up the great work

[@tennisbrothers]

thanks , the last few months have definitely been crazy, thanks for the support from the beginning :) 💙

[@abbonierecrackkuchetv7206]

Yeah, I'd say around 10k of us have been watching since he had around 10k subs.

[@nilsrenker3698]

Yeah same felix is a mad mf that forehand 🤯

[@kingjulian1428]

@@abbonierecrackkuchetv7206 true, but exluding the last few months a lot less people than subs watched the videos and now everything is starting to blow up again

[@mohammedsaqibkalsekar1058]

ye, ive been watching since 5.6k

[@endlichjura]

Woah, THAT rally at 8:7 got me goosebumps all over. Crazy! So happy for you, Felix.

[@Oscar_Stone]

Omg Michalis is the kind of player that would just hit balls all day and rarely miss, with a very good defensive game. You do really have to be the aggressor but also not push too much and then miss yourself! You did great Felix, well done for digging deep and seeing out the match! 😄👏

[@tennisbrothers]

Yes that was definitely how it felt , had to win the point like 7 times to get the pint

[@Jorge-gp9no]

Hey Felix! I followed your score in the ITF webpage and I was so happy when I saw you won. Just a piece of advice, maybe you could implement the drop shot in your game when you play on clay. It is a really useful shot on this surface and it will help you to reduce the length of the rallies. Best of luck in your next tournament from Spain!

[@awateilrahc]

Couldn’t agree more. Needed to vary the length a lot more in the match which is why I think serving and volleying was working alot as his passes were not super scary (nothing terrible of course from him) but test his own volleys out as well

[@TheRafaelBond]

Lol, thanks Jorge.

[@anustart-loveeachother7680]

I’m really loving these videos and it’s great that you made the transition to the ITF tour which offers live scores,live streaming and better opportunities to follow your journey in general. If you had said that you were coming to Meerbusch I might have gone there this Sunday, but during weekdays there’s to much stuff at uni to do. Thought you played really well against Haerteis, you were the better player form the baseline for most of the match which is a great encouraging sign, seemed like you got a bit tired towards the end after a tough physical three set battle on a tough surface like clay. Exited to see what’s next, but I think getting your first point in 2022 is a very realistic and achievable goal for you!

[@tennisbrothers]

Many thanks for your feedback. You are spot on with your thoughts! Thank you!

[@chargingTennisClips]

Extremely proud of you, Felix!

[@linguaEpassione]

Both of you guys are monsters of consistency and stamina - big congrats for the fantastic match!

[@jayrabs1792]

That 8-7 3rd set point was phenomenal. Good Job. 👌👍

[@georgetremopoulos9803]

Well done Felix, Congrats. I have been following you the last 3-4 weeks and I got super intrigued with your quest to glory. And although you beat one of my compatriots, I am so happy you registered your first win. That first set turn-around was so important. And the tie-break was epic. Can't wait for the next video!!!!!

[@MsRafanatic]

YES! This is incredibly exciting to watch. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. Good luck with your next match and career!

[@tennisbrothers]

Thanks so much!!

[@fdart5854]

This was the ultimate suspense. Congrats on your well earned victory. Insane mental fortitude in the 47 shot rally at the end of the tie break. All the best in your next match. Fingers are crossed for that ATP point!

[@HerrJoehnke]

Your game is beautiful to look at. Everything looks so organic and natural. And your agressivness, playing serve and volley even on clay - what fun to watch. Keep it going, we will be following along, living our own tennis dreams through you.

[@jafrahowlmusic5920]

Well done Your soooo good at keeping the viewer from knowing the end result and building anticipation You deserve this man Best tennis series ever!

[@cleris7728]

Holy shit, so much Intensity. Nerves of steel when you got the game back 0-40. Best video so far in the series, keep it up!, I can feel the chills from my home

[@stefitsid6348]

What an excellent performance Felix!!! ( Although as a Greek i wanted Michalis to win🤣) Splendid job, you are bound to achieve all your ambitions and i just wanted to say that i am so happy and excited that you share this journey with us! Being a beginner in tennis, your videos really help me improve but also love tennis even more !!!! Keep up the good work 😃 i know that for you, being complacent right now is out of the question !!!

[@Jerrod_stephens]

Been watching for a few years now so stoked ur progression

[@isteinbachs]

this was literally so much more entertaining for me to watch than wimbledon finals. Keep it up man this was crazy

[@willschultzdelsolhs7991]

The ATP Tour should really encourage this type of personal documentation and even reward it. The issue tennis has is it's a 1 person sport. You could cheer for Manchester United 100 years ago, and I imagine, 100 years into the future, Manchester United will still be around with fans. However, with tennis, even 30 years ago no one was a Federer fan, and there will be a LOT less of them 30 years into the future, even if he had a long, successful career (so far). Having this documentation is incredible as it allows we, the fans, to really "vibe" with the players through whatever they want to share. Could be good, bad, encouraging, tennis tips, etc.

[@danielhoward6866]

I’ve been the guy on the other side of the net many times. Fight and claw your way to get back into a match and barely lose in the end. Great match by both players here. Congrats mate, much deserved win.

[@Focus01411]

Well done Felix!!. You did really well to adapt your game against your opponent on a slower surface. He didn't seem to have many big shots but had incredible consistency which was a real test for you mentally and physically on clay. You did well to try to stick to your more aggressive style and not play his game. Great job and keep improving mate!!

[@tomv8188]

Discovered this channel 2 weeks ago. Keep up the good work! Really love to see the offensive tennis winning. Loving the serve and volley!

[@neptune1525]

I'm soooooo proud of you, congrats and all the best! 😊🥰

[@Mozzermarr10]

Well done mate. That rally at 8-7 was epic! Keep on going and all the best!

[@mgrachev]

wooow what a confidence, i was playing in some tournaments but never break through to get some itf points so it’s like to see what should i do to achieve something and nevertheless it seems impossible for me so great work felix!!!

[@msalvs]

Very satisfying to see two very different styles matchup with the guy playing the most aggressive tennis coming out on top. Well done, congrats👍🏻

[@tennisbrothers]

Couldn't agree more!

[@xavierbarratt4176]

Love watching Felix such a nice guy and plays so so well, crazy to see his progression but Bring Lucian Back as well!!

[@matttennis]

So proud of you, Felix. :) I've watched your videos for quite a while now, and it's amazing to watch your progress. Through all the many difficulties and setbacks, you've stayed dedicated to your goal, and it's so awesome to watch you pursue your dream of becoming a professional tennis player! I always love your videos.

[@tennisbrothers]

Cheers Matt 🙌🏼👍

[@adrianpredescu6241]

Congrats Felix, you deserved this victory. All the best and more to come ;)

[@nikapostol7954]

Hey Felix, just letting you know I use your videos to motivate my U12 performance squad here in Sydney Australia, it's important they see how hard it is to even just get to qualifying at a challenger and that they need to put in the hard work now otherwise it's just pie in the sky. Looking forward to watching your journey all the way to the top :)

[@mrtennistoday]

Great match, tough opponent to beat but you have still managed to do it. Congrats on 80k subs!

[@kev10080]

Very great congratulations to you, Felix. Since you started the Journey, I knew it was just a matter of time. Best regards from Mexico

[@bennyboss9998]

My favorite part about these episodes is that they come out right after my weekly tennis lesson

[@jackquinnes]

What a gruelling battle you came out of triumphant after losing the tight 2nd set! That is what it takes physically and first of all mentally. You didn’t crumble under pressure but found a way to win it in the end. Nothing beats the feeling after such a grind and well-earned victory. It was a dogfight indeed! Congrats, Felix! Now charge forward full of confidence!

[@tennisbrothers]

Appreciate it 🙌🏼🙏

[@caiobraz]

So entertaining to watch! Like someone said earlier here you could really use some drop shots to break the rhythm. Happy for u buddy

[@tennisbrothers]

Thanks caio 🙌🏼, good point , I was just so nervous I don’t think I would have been able to do good drop shots 😂

[@gojousatoru3037]

@@tennisbrothers To back him up Nadal Vs Alcaraz, Carlos uses many drop shots or slice fhs etc. to break rhythm.

[@SpencerEBlake]

Yessssss! Let’s go buddy. Keep it going. We love watching you succeed. You got this.

[@AJdada815]

8:05 my favourite point, this reminded me of the drill you were working on when you serve with power and sprint to the net on the offensive to finish it off with a volley. lol and that hop skip you did before the volley hahaha it's like you got excited to volley it. 10:42 his confidence starting to sky rocket

[@JhonnyAmbie]

You have a really good style to play. That agressive shots side to side is magic. If youre play will progress as good as now with those shots and confidence - You will get lot of ATP points in future. More details about these tournaments. More details - more subscribers. Good luck man!

[@elliott_k_1234]

Oh man! I could feel the tension in the air during that tiebreak! Congrats on the win, especially adapting your game to slow outdoor clay and dead balls. Crazy you dont get new balls at any point during these matches!?How many cans did they give you to start with?

[@justinnanu8422]

It looks like quals was best of 2 sets with a match tiebreak at 1-1. Main draw played best of 3, and new balls would have been given in the 3rd set

[@davidblazquez1376]

What a crazy point Felix in the last super-tie! I concretely refer to 8-7, that was a pivotal point, a battle to discover who was able to endurance more (that's why I love this surface). Anyway, congratulations bro for this tough game, you deserved it, specially with your forehand and net points.

[@KSp33dlin]

Awesome match, dude! Congrats on the win! Already pumped for next week’s match 💪 keep going strong 😎

Great to hear it!! Go Felix! I am pleased to watch your improvement and every match👏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Congrats Felix on this huge milestone to get your first points and ranking. I was very impressed how you played this match against an opponent who gave you very few free points. You grinded, were patient, and picked the right times to be more aggressive. I see many positives in your progression. Keep going!

Thank you so much for the positive vibes & feedback.

Great win, can't believe you didn't get new balls. Need to work on that smash - if you can get enough balls over the fence they might have to open a new tin!

Haha that was the plan , I think we lost around 10 in this match

[@aleksjj]

Hi Felix, congrats for coming into the main draw! How did you manage to be in qualification? Did you got a wild card? Thanks

[@tennisbrothers]

I was lucky enough to get the last available place in the qualification - so no WC. However I had just 36 hours to organise my trip from London to Sardinia - that luckily worked out well. ;-)

Great, thanks for the answering! Good luck for the next tournament!
