Felix are you injecting test ? You gain so much weight and your footwork looks very slow🤦🤦🤦 If you do so stop it ..its not good for cardio sports

I dont think felix would do that

I think his footwork wasn't too bad

[@fryliver4953]

Is it a disadvantage that his opponents can watch his videos and easily prepare?

[@stinkmod2297]

@@fryliver4953 yes but, like pros can watch each other and they deal with it by switching up their tactics and being flexible with there game

[@stinkmod2297]

felix, i love your style to, reminds me of djokovic quite a bit 🤩

[@Blooblah05]

Surprised there's no ump there because your opponent foot faulted on pretty much every deuce serve

[@tennnis498]

On the flipside, it seemed like your opponent gave you the benefit on about 4 close line calls.

[@chriscorbett9053]

Giving him the benefit of the doubt tho would be if it happened once ever so often not every serve

[@dockerface]

With no ump, players have the right to call footfault on the opponent. Need to be more attentive.

[@PW-qi1gi]

@dockerface How would you see that from that far away?

[@johnnybgood1169]

Good effort! I think this was a really great lesson in just how "physical" modern tennis really is, especially on slow red clay. Your opponent was simply physically stronger than you and his shots had more natural weight/heavier spin, even though you were better at flattening out your shots and taking more risk. IMO, in terms of the bigger picture, you need to find at least two 4-week training blocks (possibly even 3) over the course of a full year where your PRIMARY focus is on gaining total body strength, with an extra emphasis on your legs, core and shoulders. One of the biggest benefits of all strong US college tennis programs, aside from the competition, is their emphasis on off court weight training for strength and power. Just my 2 cents. All the best and I look forward to watching your continuing journey!

[@youngsuit]

I like the idea but it's just so hard to find blocks like that with how long the tennis season is. Maybe November December but there isn't much off season so sometimes it means trying to figure out how to manage a year round sustainable program. Getting knocked out of tournaments can help too

[@spaceshido6124]

Great video Felix! Tough match there but great lesson 💪 keep workin, you got it brother- first point is well in sight!!

[@tomsd8656]

When Giannicola served from deuce court, his back foot crossed the center mark. That's a fault. He probably had never played any tournament with line judges.

[@oledemocrat9362]

Felix, you have to include net-playing much more to your game strategy, mixed with slow balls, shorter balls and drop shots. Get creative. And analyse Federer's gameplay! Tennis has a lot to do with probability calculation. If your opponent makes less mistakes you have to change your strategy. In such cases get creative or loose. Last thing, tennis has all to do with confidence. Get your opponent to doubt himself. Make him think!

[@samhowe2283]

Is your opponent foot faulting back foot down the middle of the court on the deuce court??? Looks like it. Beautiful court!

[@pesca922]

yes def a foot fault over the center line

[@eugene5689]

I noticed the same thing and wasn't sure if that counts as a foot fault but it seems like it does.

[@RapotatoGAMING]

That guy looks underrated compared to some of the other players you played. That guy looked more like a top 500 guy, he was so consistent.

[@DNA2000-8bit]

He's foot faulting every time when serving to the deuce court. Probably hard to see and a weird dynamic to call him on it during the match, but someone should have.

[@andrejkozuharov1802]

Hey man, keep up the good work! You’re getting better every match, it’s obvious! Do people on the tournaments recognize you from KZbin?

[@stefanossakellaridis7179]

Everybody knows him 🤣🤣

[@Stratisfied22]

Gonna need to hit deeper than that if you want to control the center of the court. Looks like too many down the shots line get you in trouble from being mediocre and are hit without much purpose.

[@mas5589]

Thanks to both of you for an amazing tennis session. I'm following Felix from the the start and is so encouraging and useful for my own tennis adventure that became part of my coaching. By the way, the pro guy ranked 1241, that was awesome to see him flying the court reaching every ball... I'm impressed!!

[@TheHouseintheJungle]

I don't think taking risk and going for winners on many of the key points was always the correct choice. Yeah top players won't miss on those key points but you could wait for a slightly easier ball before going for a more attacking shot, slowly building up the rally. Also now you are getting used to the pace of these matches, I would try and slow yourself down a little so you're breathing and thinking more about shot selection, and play for more angles and waiting for your opponent to move or mis read your shot selection - easier said than done but I think this could help you.

[@diogodimas3823]

you should practice your dropshot and use more on these clay courts

[@jonathanp639]

Felix, have you considered doing some tweaks to your racket setup. What is your current one? if you can disclosure it, of course

[@grantdelmege2724]

Hi Felix, tough match against a very strong opponent. You're not far away. A few tweaks tactically here and there and a few wins and you'll be off! Will look forward to watch yourlast few events of the season. Finish strong and go for it!

[@carlosabbatini7189]

Great job, Felix! Btw, I noticed your opponent foot faulted a lot during the match. If stuff like that happens, you can let some officials know about that. They’ll take care of that.

[@jirkaales4107]

you have always good start, but at the end you always lost it! KEEP PUSHING

[@CodeCraze11324_official]

Try to keep deep forehand i watch many of your videos and i notice that your forehand balls just hit the service box line try to keep it as deep as possible 🤔

[@notandrew9012]

Always a good day when you upload!! Tough match but good playing. You’ve been improving tremendously, keep your head up :)

[@TheDavid19HD]

Hey dude, I would like so much on a video in which you tell us your racquet configuration, what strings you use, the lb you use on it, the weight of your racquet, and why you chose that over others. Thank you!

[@tolisnet]

Try to use more legs to your shots. Look how down he gets to get another form of body stand. This might has more contol and heavy return than run to get the ball on high.. Get more time ... On serve too.. You are having great progress !!! Congrats & Enjoy

[@ommpaloomplak53]

Definitely seeing improvement great job Felix hopefully you can gain some confidence and take it into your next matches

[@rexxvrt]

Felix your backhand is getting so stunning. So amazing now, can’t wait to be as good as you

[@NamesAreRandom]

Tough match, he's obviously beatable as he's not that highly ranked but he got to play his game against you today. I am sure your coach will have some thoughts on tactics - perhaps just taking those smashes better and working on that down the line backhand would be enough?

[@whiteboyclub]

Well played. Here's my quick analysis. You played a little bit too much into his strengths by letting him continue to push you back. Against players like that, you need to commit to your court positioning and continue to play aggressive. It's way easier said than done because that weight of shot is going to continue to come at you, but you have to use your feet to get in position to take the ball early and take away time from your opponent. You did really well on points that you came to net on and when you mixed things up with the serve and volley. A player for you to watch, just judging by your game style is Alex DiMinaur. Watch the way he moves on the court and hugs the baseline. Bottom line, commit to being aggressive, use that forehand, and keep looking for opportunities to move forward.

[@whiteboyclub]

Also, that is one of the most picturesque settings I've ever seen tennis played. What a dream, playing on the clay in Italy.

[@nightowldickson]

The view of the court is incredible! From the looks of it your backhand has improved, although a few errors crept up under pressure. I think the slice needs a bit of work, some looked good but others were a little bit floaty. Overall tough opponent - just wished you took the first set.

[@thomasrebotier1741]

It looks like your risk-taking ("decisiveness") pays off early in the game when you are fresh and your game is still an unknown. But when you lose even a bit of edge due to physical overdoing, your luck runs out on these choices. I'm sure that with more matching, adjustments will fall in place; practice can't really help there, but being aware of the factors that make you ace or fail should.

[@jaredh4100]

Backhand looking much improved man, singles win on the way 📈

[@shipwreck8847]

Hell yeah Felix. LET's GO. I always root for you to do well in these matches. I like your personality and it makes me pull for all your tournies and hopefully you can bag more victories.

[@tomlee2898]

[@BizzCFC]

Where is Lucian at the moment? Does he still play a lot? Loving the content

[@dumitch]

Did you notice that he was actually foot faulting on the deuce side. His back foot was past the center line when he started his motion. You can't start your motion on the opposite side of the center line. Nice try.

[@tennisoverboys]

How do you deal with lack of confidence on your backhand? You mentioned that you worked on it a lot, so did you feel nervous at all while hitting it? I’ve been working on my forehand, but when i play tournaments i get nervous and slow down my racquet head speed.

[@arsebubu1862]

This is not the most beautiful tennis court!

[@Music-xy7ro]

is that not a foot fault how he steps over the middle line on his serve? I know you have to be a jerk or line judge to call that but just curious lol

[@ethanwestfield2150]

I played once in the Calanques (south France) the courts where on the montain with a view on the sea. Even if it was really hot like 35° C we had the wind from the sea. It was amazing

I went down from 5-0 to 7-5 yesterday

[@andreamassacci7942]

Why don't you switch racket? What tension do you play on and what string do you use and what is the weight of your frame. I'm a club player, even though I used to train with atp player. You really seems to miss pace from your ball. It just doesn't go fast enough. Your movement is good, many tall player in the top ATP move worse than you. But your ball is really too slow. Try some power racket, add lead, and crush that ball. It looked like woman tennis. You can hit the ball way harder than what you do.

[@thecoachabdul]

Looks to me like your opponent repeatedly foot faults from the deuce side. His back foot crosses the centre line? Difficult to call it I know.

[@gustafonciu]

Sup bro. Thanks for the content, as always!! I had the impression that was your most consistent match even though you got tired at the end. You are in the right path. Things i think you should talk to your coach : following the idea of staying more in the point like you did, you have to get the control of the point more often but without risking too much, just using ball high and depth so then you can approach the net more often mid point, in good conditions of winning the point and putting pressure on your opponent. Keep it up buddy, your 1st point is getting closer. See you in ur nxt vid ✌️

[@TheFMGaffer]

Your backhand has improved so much over this series already

[@texasbeast3937]

need 2 learn how to flatten out your forehand. Multiple times u pull your opponent out of the court and u just let the ball drop and roll it back in

[@Plewina]

I would only work with you on depth of your games and making your ball heavier

[@v3gaisback]

I think you got a great technic of shots and nice moving. What i saw here , you had lack of aggression. Do not wait what your opponents will do , just play your game and push them , be more aggressive. You got a great potential , need to practice more how to use it

[@aguydvid1370]

[@ferrdog2758]

hes doing alot of foot errors

[@arjunarya6464]

the backhand is certainly a LOT better

[@brianmoney410]

Definitely a notable difference!! I see quite a bit of improved overall quality. I still think you should move forward more ofter. I really think if you are able to win one of these matches it will foster the self-belief you need. It seems as if in the back of your mind, no matter how well the match is going, you are subconsciously expecting for things to turn south at some point. It's easier said than done, but I am optimistic that you will get there! Best of luck

[@truthssayer1980]

Most of the opponents that are beating your are using tweener frames (pure aero, vcore98/100,pure drive). It seems like you are working harder than your opponents to get extra spin with your low power, ultra control setup. Have you considered trying a pure drive or pure aero? If you can't beat them, join them! Don't be like fed and be to proud to switch to a more powerful racquet!

[@Mika-pv4bw]

Gréât effort. Id work on Anticipation to take it early on neutrals - easier said than done but you’re grinding from behind too much - even if you win that takes a physical toll out of you if you want to get through multiple rounds. Just my silly little opinion ;)

[@JAKtutorials_854]

U should’ve kept serve and volleying

[@miguel-espinoza]

those dodgy bounces is one reason I never liked playing on clay

[@uxcambridge]

Great match! Work on your in to in more, you kept getting down on the inside out when you approached the net. If you had kept him guessing more I think you would of got a few more points. tough condition awesome match, you’ve improved loads 😮

[@jesoby]

Must be a lot of bad line calls at this highly competitive level with no umpires; at least filming might make opponents think twice!

[@BoubleBurki]

Your opponent did a lot of foot faults at his service on forehand side. You're not allowed to cross the middle line to your backhand while serving. He did it a lot with his right feet. Not saying it would have changed the outcome of the match but once he's playing with line referees he will get a big problem.

[@Matias-ec5wh]

You will win these type of matches with guys that just push and grind by attacking and charging more the net…. You won pretty much every point you attacked the net the 1st set and then you stopped doing it. Good hitting just need to keep getting better at tactical tennis.

just wondering but i noticed something odd in the 3rd game of the 2nd set. i noticed it when it was 30-30 but you were serving on the left side. This continued into when it was 30-40 and with the voiceover it seemed to have been correct. was there an error somewhere in that game?
