I was casually scrolling through your opponent's (Haerteis) results and came across a fun fact. He won against Daniil Medvedev 7-5 6-4 at the end of 2015 haha. Of course Daniil was only 19 years old back then but still. Good luck in the next tournament!

[@RaymondChenon]

Wahoo. Love this detail .

[@gladiatorstribe]

That's a really fun fact should've included it in the video hahahahaha Thanks for mentioning it!

[@derbou7589]

in 2018 he also beat Jannik Sinner

[@grantm2303]

@@derbou7589i saw this too. that’s crazy. beating two top 10 arguably top 5 players.

[@dheerdholu2005]

You talking through the points and the entire matches in general has helped me build my strategy very much. Even if you lost this match you took away precious experience from it. Keep you head up many wins to come.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks so much for such an awesome feedback! It really means a lot to know!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@martinrosemary5654]

I think Federer said he was always very sad when he lost when young and nadal once lost when he was just starting against Gaudio who just had won roland garros, gaudio said he was specifically shocked to see this young kid so angry and sad after losing against s the roland garros champion.., being sad shows that you care don t you think?.. and it pushes you to be better no?..

[@gladiatorstribe]

Sad or angry? 😉

[@johnrb9397]

Well done Grish. Keep working hard and prove us your potential. Your channel is sure to continue to grow in this journey. 💪

[@giulio2811]

Hey man, honestly I would be proud even if thats the result...very few tennis players can say that they manage to get in a main draw of a future event, also by playing two quali matches! Totally deserved mate, keep pushing 💪

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate your support to the moon! Keeps me going!

[@TenisAmador]

Nice match! Johannes has been destroying the "Road to ATP Points" since last year, when he beat Felix! 🤣🤣 One thing that seems clear watching the video is the footwork intensity. He definitely looks more intense and "ready" at all times, while it looks you were always one step too late, or a little "lazy". Of course lazy is not the correct word, as you were giving it all, but it seems that if you are able to improve on that part of the game you do have the tools, technically and power-wise, to beat these guys. Keep up the good work!

[@ZacharyShahan]

Fascinating to watch. Even more fascinating to hear your superb commentary/self-analysis.

[@guitarnoob4568]

Being an armchair/keyboard ATP pro, there's one thing that stands out to me, lol. Your opponent is much taller than you, but when it comes down to footwork, he's actually more nimble and active on the feet. It feels like right after taking the split step, it takes you longer to launch toward the direction you wanna go, and when it's time to hit a power shot, your opponent's feet are just more planted or ready on the ground.

[@bmpjjaa]

as a fellow keyboard ATP pro, I agree with your observation. I went back to watch the footwork intensity and it's definitely a notch or two lower. It's quite a bit sluggish compared to his opponent. I was first looking at the shots and I thought they were as solid as his opponent and I couldn't figure out why he was losing that badly. Now it makes sense. Thanks Keyboard ATP pro!

[@gab_ale]

Yeah, the dude was a few levels of energy higher than Grisha. Maybe the Sanxenxo diet didn't help Grisha.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks for your observations! Definitely agree that the footwork is lacking!

[@guitarnoob4568]

@@gladiatorstribe yes!! Officially approved by an actual pro, hahaha. I'm sure you will getnit fixed real quick, it's not an ability issue, more like coaching mentally/habit issue.

[@KiboTennis]

Thanks for that. I wouldn’t have seen it. Now that I pay attention it looks like Johannes catapults out of the split step with both feet, while Grisha still moves like a mortal human being. 😊

[@jackbond5915]

Can’t believe mischker got a set off this guy haertis, mischker played such an insane match that day, and honestly produced a level of tennis he probably will never be able to reproduce in his lifetime.

Гриша, если есть возможность, ответь пожалуйста Подскажи, если вдруг я соберусь в проф тур , поеду играть ITF , то перелеты , проживание и т д оплачиваю со своего кармана , призовые с ITF не перекрывают ведь этих расходов? С какого рейтинга начинаешь выходить в 0 за счет призовых? Когда активно начинаешь играть challenger и стоишь в топ 500?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Все из своего кармана! Начинаешь отбиваться очень поздно, где-то 300 😬😬

[@pencilcheck]

You should learn a Federer slice. That might help you.

Tough luck Grisha. However, you have another notch on your experience belt and learned another lesson. Like you say, you will probably go in more prepared the next time and be able to keep your rhythm/pace up now that you know what to expect. Overall, you had a solid tournament. Looking forward to your next upload.

[@chadbrown2879]

Excellent insight about higher level players being comfortable playing at a faster pace. Grisha, is that something that can be learned/practiced, or is that just innate?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Ohh, og course it's something that can only be acquired by training!!

[@gustafonciu]

hey mate congrats on your channel!! i have to ask, why do you insist on your underarm serve? it never helps you at all..

Thank you! Well, cuz I win 80% of the points I serve underarm 😂

[@mefo4169]

Гриша, спасибо за видео. Получается, чтобы играть с такими игроками на равных надо тренироваться самому как "крейзи". А жить когда? Тут или всю жизнь кладешь на тренировки, на результат, или живёшь по-нормальному, но без результата?

[@spaceshido6124]

The difference between levels in tennis is the peace of the shot...obviously your opponent had more speed in his shots than yours even without moving that much ...so i guess the mental fatigue is not an excuse even in your best day he coudl take you 6-3 6-1 ...there is always place for development you just need to train harder and smarter to push your level brother 😊 .

[@danielm.m.7654]

Pro level in tennis is insane

[@gladiatorstribe]

True!

[@rikkevanp]

A lefty that uses the BH cage like a boss is hard to beat... IMHO you played pretty solid and like you said in the vid, the guy was in your face the whole time and on every chance he had locking you into your backhand side. In the end, good tournament run! Up to the next one with another experience righer into your backpack. Keep it up ...

[@Kaonaxh2]

Grisha in which country are you playing your next tournaments expect Spain?

[@DanTuber]

You did well despite the score. That guy's lefty forehand was very effective taking you off court.

[@doliver6034]

Always enjoy all your content, great vid, despite the loss. Good luck in your next tournament! I have a match in a few hours this morning at 11am, I just looked out the kitchen window window and its froggy and frosty, ahhh tennis over Winter Season in New Zealand 😂 🥶 fun times ahead!?

[@-Munditimum-]

Well done G! You have all it takes physically and mentally... it's just a matter of fine tuning the pace and the psychology. You got this man. And let's not forget, playing a player who was top 300ATP level recently, is certainly no joke. Cheers and better ones to come. One more step closer to the diamond. Keep grinding! 🙌 M

You should receive the dunlop cx series! I think you would enjoy it.

[@alexanderterekhin8927]

Awesome contest, and you are right - losing is part of the drill, so you should not be sad about it. It is just a part of the game. One question: how do you travel with your gear on plane - do they let you take it as carry-on?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Absolutely! About the gear, it really depends on the airline. Some let you bring your rackets as carry on, with others, you'll need to check your bag in.

[@alexanderterekhin8927]

@@gladiatorstribe Isn´t that risky to check it? I mean, they could break all the rackets...

[@rodrigoreichelt1708]

keep training, your game has a lot to improve, love your content from Brazil

[@MATTETRUEFACT]

You played well..just need more fast pace in your body/legs...also maybe more slices and mixing the game up on a "run around forehand opponent" ...If you find a indoor PE stadium with a plastic court/floor...use it for practice...it will get your rythm and body speed / raquet swing up to a higher pace. Just a tip. Practice hard...play easy. You will notice a big difference. Keep up the good work..the atp point will come.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks a lot for you're advice! I'll definitely take it into consideration!

[@johnbenevoli2066]

Grish, he's LEFTY, yet you gave him a look at a lot of forehands in the vid, both serves & groundies...southpaws always have an advantage of regular games opposite righties whereas that is not the case in reverse. So tactics may have contributed as well. As you said, learning will come as a part of having exposure to higher seeds. Go get 'em lad!

[@shipwreck8847]

Hey Grisha, Don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us. It's admirable you uploaded this as most youtubers would just say "my camera overheated and I wasn't able to string together any highlights" Just keep doing what you're doing because you are improving a lot. Just note what he did well and see if you can steal some of those areas for your own game and eventually you'll level up (a la like many video games lol). Getting bageled happens to everyone, I lost by the same score just recently. Don't let it get you down. Keep making cool videos and I feel one day you'll be playing grandslams. That's what I want to see you do. I think you can make it. Just keep evolving your game. Try not to plateau like many players out there.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hey! Thank you very much for your positive feedback and the super nice support! I really appreciate it. Will definitely keep going!!

[@shipwreck8847]

@@gladiatorstribe Hey Grisha, you know what is a nice trick that I found that might help you against a player like Haerteis? Google his name, look at his recent play history within the ITF circuit. Google some of the matches he lost and see who beat him and try to find out how his opponents beat him. And see what those guys did well against him. Since you're playing ITF a lot of these players have their matches on youtube. I think it helps because you can see those players who beat him and you can see what things they do well not just against him but in general. I think it's easier on the ITF level than if you tried to do djokovic because of course djokovic is like a machine. But these ITF guys have items you can ID easier to give your game a lift. Good job by the way.
