Yes. Your backhand return was awesome!

[@michaelp9061]

You are winning more points than 2 years ago. That is improvement.

[@beimeidr]

After watching so many videos from your channel, I notice the progress you have made in the past few years. I think this is a very good way to improve the tennis level: record your matches, make some analysis, then share them. I learned a lot from your channel. It inspires me. Thank you for sharing them.

[@TennisTrollChannel]

Excellent slice serve at 2:07. It can be a challenge for some right-handed players to hit a slice down the T on the add side. You made it look easy.

[@tobiaslejnerborn2238]

great videos. really helpful for a 3.5 guy like me

[@black_nebula]

Love your aggressive play here. Your serve and return was amazing..

[@DavidBartosik]

I feel like I learn so much more from footage like this vs ATP/Challangers. When you watch the pros it's like watching magicians. It's like being a natural bodybuilder and watching Mr Olympia competitions for inspiration.

[@tennistim]

I appreciate it!

[@Maximagq]

Literally used this to prepare for my match against Giacomo. Thanks Tim!

[@jamesmoulton4718]

Hey Matt, Id love to hit with you as well!

[@dgenkin]

you're a bit stronger than him :)

[@HasteCakes]

ye get em tim

[@sleong]

agression pays off

[@edpine1587]

Nice playing tim! Sorry if I missed it but are you showing both first and second serves? I think I just saw the second serve that was bombed! I would be interested to see both in the future just to see what your mindset is on certain point situations and how much you go for. Also if you are ever in the need for a match in the East Bay, hit me up!

[@HankHell41]

8:25 Was the hop out of excitement for a dank drop shot, or so you could see whether or not the ball would make it?

[@robertblount1377]

I like your more aggressive style. Your overhead makes you especially effective.

[@joshua3534]

Great video! Always eager for the next.

[@skeet0rz]

LOL @ the surprise approach 8:51! Very clever. You're overhead is looking solid too. Relax your arm and body to get a bit more aggro on that FH approach. Somehow I wasn't subscribed to you (I thought I already was), am now. Good stuff!

[@tennistim]

Spur of the moment decision ;) appreciate the tip on the FH approach. honored to count you as a sub!

[@tbb3062]

What racket and strings do you play with? What are your specs! Maybe you put it out there but couldn't find it. Thanks!!

[@davelee6002]

Hey Tim, do you modify your Purestrike, and if so, what do you do?

[@tennistim]

I don't. Have thought about adding some lead tape, but it seems like a delicate process and I don't want to screw anything up

[@ManagerMia]

Just watched a few videos, you've really improved......But I wish you would show you hitting a non slice serve a few times.....just to see if you got that flat heat seeker or a bigger top spin serve

[@rawtennis5902]

Nice returnng serve. Good job of using your speed on rhe approach to get close to net for first volley.

[@Justin-fromtennis]

Hey Tim, good job with the backhand returns. That's the most noticeable improvement. A couple things on your volleys. Your backhand volley goes crosscourt 99% of the time and your forehand normally goes straight ahead. Not sure if u were aware, but thought I would let you know.

[@tennistim]

Yep great call out, need to mix up volley placement more

[@fanofmany71]

It's interesting to see what 4.5 looks like in different cities. This is not a negative comment but I would consider this 4.0 in my city. I can appreciate why it's tough when people play in different cities and sometimes they are too good and in other cases they are over their head. Something to keep in mind for us players with people visit from other places - I think most of us want to play against people at our level versus play at a level that is beneath us. Who wants to win a tournament easily??!??!

[@cotasa]

they are pretty solid 4.5

[@xykij3803]

How long have you played tennis?

[@jceptable2818]

The match and analysis were great, but at 3:10 when you start commentating over the match, could you increase the volume of your voice a bit more? The volume of the background I think decreased, but I still found it slightly difficult hearing your voice over the background noise of the match, so could you increase your voice's volume next time you commentate over your match? Other than that, the video quality was great!

[@jamesmoulton4718]

Hey tennistim! I play around a 5.0 level, and im preparing to play open. You live in Socal right??? Id be happy to drive out to play you!

[@tennistim]

Hey James, sorry but I actually moved back up to NorCal in 2018. Hit me up if you're ever up here [e-mail]

[@jamesmoulton4718]

@@tennistim oh that's too bad, I definitely will. It would be a great match! Goodluck with your tennis up there

[@pats300zx]

Glad to see you posting again Tim. Another great video 👍

[@DavidBartosik]

For the commentary you don't have to stop video and insert your thumbnail. Instead, play some in between point footage, or better yet, slow mo/replay of what you're discussing. The intro/setup at beginning with just you is great!! (No headphones a plus) Sorry for tough love.

[@saxonsaxoneast6674]

Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Do you use any wrist lag?

Hey Tim! Thanks for the content. What is your UTR rating?

[@Eric-ft3yc]

When did you switch to sensation / Luxilon and how does that compare to the excel hybrid ?? I’ve been trying hybrid gut set ups recently in my pure storm

[@tennistim]

Never tried the Excel! Been using Luxilon / Sensation hybrid for the last 4+ years

[@Sebastian-wz1wh]

Where did you get that shirt?

[@TennisOreste]

Great video and happy to see you again. I really like the new format with comments during the game. My only problem is in the minute 3:10, where the ambient sound is too loud and I couldn't hear your voice clearly. Keep it up and thanks for the videos :)

[@gavlatennis2824]

Great video.

[@tomlau6117]

would I play with you if you are in San Francisco ?

[@Rot3kmaster88]

I love the net play!

[@diyjosh]

Hi Tim, I've been watching your videos and love your play! Definitely learning a lot from watching you. I am trying to video myself for improvement - how did you make the score board for your videos?

[@BackoftheLineTennis]

Good stuff Tim. As always, thanks for posting.

[@shakeemrobinson2948]

Great to see you back on the court! Way to stick to your game plan and execute. Looking forward to the next one...

[@tennisrallies2505]

Great match Tim! And nice to see some commentary from you as well. It'd be fun to hit someday! :)

[@rjovanov13]

Love your videos. Keep playing and keep posting.

[@WillY-bv7jq]

Hi. Tim. I used to play Radical as you. I play radical pro. Recently I am a little interested in pure strike. Could you compare them？

[@비트컴퓨터-f6f]

good footwork

[@b0mb34man1]

Hi Tim, This was on my video feed and I'm seeing that you got something on your elbow. Are you starting to get some pain in the elbow? If so, I'd suggest using a different racket than the Babolat that you're using or might have to change the mechanics of your forehand. I'm still seeing that you're swinging close to the body and having your elbow bent more compared to your backhand. I just don't want you injured now! :)

[@tobykristiansson4617]

b0mb34man1 he literally said at the start- he tweaked his elbow weight lifting, doctor recommended an elbow brace. He also said it is not related in any way to the racquet he is using. Watch the whole vid before commenting

[@Rocket90]

Hey Tim, I always enjoy your content and was super excited to see a new video out. I'm also in the Bay Area and tried to meet up with you at IW. Hopefully we can hit in the future! -Jeff

[@tennistim]

I'll email you to schedule a hit soon!

[@wongyatchun]

Nice play, really good to see you improve the whole time as you progress. Keep posting, gives me motivation that my game will eventually get better! And i can see that you are playing a lot more aggressive, knowing a lot better when to come in with each shot selection. Also consistently attacking the opponent's weaker side with a fair bit of court craft. Try to work on your balance after each shot especially on defense, you are hitting slightly inefficiently some shots as I can see a lot of movement (especially your head), it will make you hit a less clean shot and may be hurting your recovery as well, which will reduce your ability to return to the optimal position on the court. It will really help with your defense while retaining energy on longer matches.

[@gan5867]

You come to net much more frequently in this match. I would love to see you play more dropshots！that drop volley reminds me of Radwanska lol

[@tennistim]

Yes! Need to work in more dropshots. That's next ;)

[@ryestef13]

Tim, you're a really nice all-court, 4.5 player.

[@tennistim]

Thank you!

[@Tennisbull-match-statistics]

Great match, I would add more commentary. It would be great if you played someone you don’t know and then record your observations after warmup and during each change over

[@tennistim]

Great idea! I think maybe in between sets would be a good time to record more commentary too

[@francislirios9730]

Hey Tim. First of all good to see you’re back. I knew something’s up coz it’s been a couple of months since you’ve posted in KZbin. Hopefully everything’s going well and that we’ll see more vids going forward. Secondly, excellent serving and court play. Lastly, try using a compression sleeve for your arm problems. I used to suffer from the same issue. But since using the 2XU compression sleeves -not intentional to advert but it’s made my issues disappear. Try it next time you play & let us know how it went. All the best and more court time to you.

[@tennistim]

Thanks Francis! Arm's all good now :)

[@derrickchung5988]

Great video, if I could just say a couple things. I think you're a good 4.5 player but you do have some things you need to work on. I noticed your forehand you're hitting off your back foot a lot and when you do that you're hitting a lot of balls short that your opponent can just rip his forehand off of. I think you need to work on your foot work to be able to help you to step more into your forehand because it's definitely your better shot. But all around good hitting I def think you're heading in the right direction.

[@gabrielchan3491]

Hey Tim, really solid match! I’m a 4.0 and played at NorCal Districts and Sectionals this year. Would love to see how I measure up against your game... we should link up!

[@jessecbrinson]

I've been trying to play more at the net as well, so just as I was saying in my head to "go in" at 8:50, you went to the net. Great decision!

[@vandalizednugget]

hey tim, i saw you played in el segundo before.. are you in south bay im 4.5 would love to hit if you are local

[@AIMBOTKATFISH]

Is this the bay club in sf?

[@tennistim]

It is!

[@AIMBOTKATFISH]

Oh cool. thats where I play when I am in SF. Cheers!

[@kevincarey6953]

More vids less shirts please

[@IamnotJohnFord]

First off, love the videos. Watching someone play does really help. Giacomo seemed to be pushing more than accelerating thru his shots for most of the games. I think the reason he didn't do well is because you played so aggressively, and he had trouble adapting. He was hitting with more pace and spin toward the end of the video, but his errors went from none to some-Hard to really quantify as these are just highlights. Maybe, he just wasn't seeing the ball well that day. I had an evening like that last week. I felt like I was swatting a fly with a twig. Yeah, I'm from the South. Since this was months ago, I'll assume you've determine if this serve and volley style more suits you? It's great for shortening points, and works against those that want to just bang from the baseline.

[@olivier883]

Another elbow killed by Babolat Pure Strike ...

[@tennistim]

It was from weight lifting lol not my racquet. Those rumors are exaggerated

[@nighttrain7404]

Hey Tim. I've watched your matches for awhile and you've got a good strategy to the game and make the most of what you have. Great fitness too. Deservedly 4.5 and above. Having said that, I would love to work with you. I was a former college club player and former 4.5-5.0 player. At this stage, you will be better than me in match play, because I don't play anymore, but I do coach. I really feel I could help sharpen a few things for you and get you to the next level. Ping if interested. Make your game more fluid and more like your division 1 buddy JR

can you earn tournaments money playing at your level ? like amateur tournament match something like that

[@junma9875]

First. TxT’s comeback > Andy Murray’s comeback.

[@junma9875]

Great match. Only thing I see that you can work on is the inside out backhand volley. If you take some small steps to angle your body properly, you could have put a lot of those backhand volleys away. Definitely 5.0 level play overall.

[@tennistim]

@@junma9875 Great call, I find that to be a tough shot. Help me drill next time :D

[@williamlee5783]

You guys are pretty good, but look very sloppy compared to the pros on tv. Not meant as negative criticism just wanted to point out how good those guys really are.

[@robertturnip7850]

Do you play tennis yourself?

[@williamlee5783]

Robert Turnip Did you even understand what I wrote?

[@robertturnip7850]

Yes I thought it was a strange comment. Of course they are not going to play as well as the pros.

[@williamlee5783]

Robert Turnip I thought the same of your comment, since it’s been explained twice in my comment, twice.

[@rocketboy955]

how do you record these games?

[@Radnally]

Doubles is a great way to sharpen volleys.

[@DavidBartosik]

You must be a high 4.5 or almost 5.0. People starting to say I'm a 4.5, so def. early stages.... I'd be lucky to get a game off you.

[@gustennis7082]

If you ever in the Orlando area ! I would def love to play!!

[@DuhDuJour]

You should play paddle to get those volleys down

I know this was 6 months ago but stop sandbaggin.
