The Toughest Match Of My Career So Far

[@katehsia]

You're improving bit by bit! I love watching you play doubles!

[@roddickfan90]

James has some amazing hands and a bomb of a first serve! Well played to both of you and congrats on the €100 🙃 Can't wait to see your next Singles match; those ATP points aren't far away.

[@tiddleygaming6426]

4:51 - rally of the day on the neighbouring court!

[@atreyalaxman6041]

Hey Felix, could you talk more about the logistics behind getting into an ITF event? Do you register for a couple of different ITF events taking place at the same time and then fly out to the one you've been accetped into? Or do you sign up in person? Love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@mitchmitchell2]

Love seeing you progress and your tennis journey

[@jamesgerken4487]

That backhand down the line at match point where the net player had gone so early. Fine margins well done to both of you pushing them that close 👍🏼

[@theoaggelis8033]

I feel like felix's game has improved so much over the course of the year and there is plenty more to come. I think the losses in singles is just a mental thing that you re gonna have to deal with in a different way. Confidence is key and its all about the approach to each match.Anyways keep hoing strong 💯🔥

[@germanslice]

Hes more aggressive in doubles than he is in singles.

[@tabbyoneill2579]

Wow Felix- you should be so proud of yourself! Your gameplay and match presence has improved so so much and you look like a very experienced pro. Keep playing like this and you’re bound to make it into the gran slams- I know it may not feel like it now but the wins will come soon and lots of them. Keep up the hard work xx

[@ishi8978]

What a great match! This series has actually inspired me to play tennis so thank you for that.

[@norbertlaczko3554]

Well done guys. James serves, and his backhand is fantastic! Seems you guys are on a good path!

[@hunterowen8184]

4:14 ‘..missed just wide’ 😂

[@nickkotlidas4812]

James has a very good one hander. I changed to a one handed backhand too and I loved that I can just plow through balls with a confident swing. The difference is that I use something similar to the Wawrinka grip

[@cindygirlification]

Beautiful tennis, fascinating journey. Love your work 👍

[@CoolioJacque]

Damn, lately it feels like every sunday evening i get bummed out after seeing a heart breaking loss :). Keep it up, when the wins start pilling up, its gonna be even sweater.

[@aaravpurwar6401]

Been watching you for about 2 years. Every time you win, it makes my day a little better. Learned a lot from you. UTR 5.5 atm

[@porkisthebestmeat8955]

Can I ask what you try to do to win. I don't understand how to win other than making less errors than your opponent and hitting winner. How do I stop hitting errors but also move them to win.

[@porkisthebestmeat8955]

Im only a 2

[@alexanderrobertson5387]

What a fun match to watch. You guys held your own for sure, and I like the pairing. You control the baseline and James has some great hands at the net. Keep it up guys

[@ollie708]

Didn't analyze it thoroughly but as i was watching i was thinking why you Felix not serve (more) down T on big point? Such a great serve. Excellent intense match by the way. There will be more

[@avinashmishra8726]

Your channel is awesome. Yo'u've come a long way in the last few months. Keep up the good work.

[@james.flores]

Hey Felix. You've really inspired me to start playing tennis again. Years ago now, my brother and I played Nick Kyrgios in doubles and we lost haha! This was obviously when he was a wee junior.

[@DanTuber]

Wow the intensity is high. You both played well.

[@tomlee2898]

good job!! You are doing great!

[@shicobon]

Great play lads, so close you almost had it. Love the way you changed your style from baseline to coming to the net( it actually paid off) and James you are bloody awesome double player. Keep up the good work.

[@vladimirgetselevich4704]

Great match Felix! Actually the first competition match you share that I felt you played really well. I also think that confidence is the key.

[@danielurriola]

A very entertaining match to watch ! Thanks for investing the time and resources to record, editing and upload these videos. Congrats for the ATP points un doubles. It's just a matter of short time to earn the point in singles. Keep working! Regards from Panamá 🇵🇦!

[@muhamedmehmedovic7645]

Gotta say, James is insanely good, like his technique so much. Keep going

[@TrishanthDiwate]

James' backhand return are insane

[@daviddepasquale4236]

Great effort guys! The way you were progressing was impressive! And I think you mentioned the key point.....decision making! Really good! There will certainly be loads of positives also for you in singles! Go on!

[@shipwreck8847]

Thanks Felix for these better videos (match play instead of boring training). I love watching these so much. I always root for you to go far. I feel bad when you lose, but it's all part of the process of getting better and progressing. I like watching it because of your high level but also because you show when you lose. Other channels only show their wins and never show their loses.

[@dorfhausen]

Even though you guys lost the match, it shows me that the game only is over when it ends. My teammate left the sport about a year ago, now I'm searching for a competitive new mate and sometimes I feel in the first set that the chemistry between me and my new mates doesn't work out. So come I lose faith in us after the first set. You guys really inspire me, keep it up

[@Simon.Freund]

Great match and great video Felix!! Glad to hear you're really enjoying yourself out there. Keep crushing it, hope we can play sometime in the future!

[@tennisbrothers]

thanks bro , yh for sure :)

[@destructivejakejps1464]

Short question bc I don’t understand it. Why is Felix playing 25k tournaments? He’s loosing every 1st quali round, so why not changing to 15k tournaments to win some matches at least and to get into the main draw?

[@Davis4255]

Jules Marie (rank 450ish) mentioned in his vlogs once that there is no real difference in level. Everyone between 200-800 can beat eachother.

[@phoenix3452]

@@Davis4255 except Felix isn’t top 800 or even close. He probably needs to grind out smaller events to build more confidence

[@Riccap_109]

Great play🎉 see you next week

[@elitennis7973]

Damn its amazing how much you have improved, from where you started this journey to now I see huge improvements!

I LOVE ur videos, such an inspiration for everyone!!

[@ethanclark00]

Loving the videos my guy

[@johnnybgood1169]

Great playing in spite of the result! It's very smart of you to use the doubles to round out your game and continue to gain confidence at this level which will definitely translate to your singles.

[@MapleClass-sg2nn]

Well done felix keep up the amazing work

[@cbockiii2514]

Felix you're better in this match than you were a month ago. Keep it up.

[@Cameron-ue7lu]

Super exciting doubles! Love the phrase "Joke Return", gonna use that from now on , rather than growl under my breath :)

[@poisson12376]

Wow, great match!!!!!! You definitely improved a lot!!!

[@Nopanop]

Gaddamit the hopeful music in the tiebreak had my hopes high , loved the doubles highlight 🔥

[@borisgurevich5504]

Tough to make a living is an understatement. Hard to understand how people outside of top 100-150 actually liv of it and provide for the family. I know many are jus hoping to get through but past say 23 yo it is quite rare.

[@yuvalshoham5603]

Love your videos ❤️

[@johnkurian4529]

Holy crap the serve at 8:33 is insane!

[@AmpereMks]

yeah its a bad bounce lol

[@DurpenHeimer]

Lmao the serve at 8:31

[@dirtyreiner]

Man! I felt the feavor just from watching. Such a nice double! I really thought you win this Match! No shame of loosing. It's so cool to watch your journey. Keep it on :)

[@FC-cz6zd]

Said it before, this just shows how tough pro tennis is. Everyone is so good. I sometimes can't tell the difference between these guys and top 100.

[@Spyrex.]

Really close, great game and really enjoying to watch

[@josephbayot6464]

Woah MONSTER kick serve at 8:31

[@tehShikari]

Those were some epic shots there! Otherwise, I thought the scenery on the first court was real nice and that it would distract me, but then you showed the singles event court hahaha

[@flugunfal]

Incredible Match. I really enjoy watching your videos. There is one question I would like to ask you: Do you have to ask your opponents whether you can use and upload your recordings to KZbin?

[@lencescapes]

Well done fellas ❤

[@hamzaa.8082]

Guys, I enjoy watching you play very much. I will not be exaggerating if I said that the competition level here is more than the ATP tour because everyone is trying to breakthrough!

[@coachevan2824]

I rallied with Lukas once. 15m in I was ready to quit tennis and re-evaluate my life decisions. I never breathed so hard in my life rallying cross-court, dude hits crazy heavy.

[@danielh8556]

Fantastic to watch these doubles games! I’m not a huge fan of those sudden death deuces though..

[@ChoozenSun]

great. thanks

[@edwardmcwilliams8371]

what is your logical ceiling? be top 150, be around the mark to get into main draws for 250s and such?

[@KickSilverOMG]

You're getting close to the goal Felix, you're getting better every single day, KEEP PUSHING! Also you probably got around 120 euros for a 2nd round defeat? I don't know, but anyways KEEP IT UP!

[@JhonnyAmbie]

I was watching it flashscore on live and almost threw my phone on wall when opponent wins the match! Damn, so close.

[@benmuschol1445]

great video! did i notice the opponents signalling the return placement to their partner on second serve returns? never seen this before, is it a common tactic?

[@JH1925-w8o]

Keep working hard mate.

[@WillievanZyl]

That was some really enjoyable doubles...

[@Back2Zack]

I guessed 400... dang i was off. XD poor guy. Giving this video a thumbs up to help support the YT income.

[@xucorodriguezsanchez3648]

Hi Felix Great match!!! How do u add the tennis score on the edition programme?

[@coffeedude2024]

So unlucky Felix but great match. Some of the tennis ypu and James played was very high level! Keep going Felix, that first ATP point in coming soon:)

[@TheDrakulie]

You will get better on those up the line shots, your opponent went early on some of those but you still missed it wide cause your comfort level just wasn't there. and those happened on some big points which could have changed the match. so practice those change of line up the line shots, your comfort level will get much better and you will never miss those again

[@Timoeu18]

Yeah Lukas Neumayer is really good in Austria He is the Number 1 of teenager Ranking so pretty tough to play against it

[@Evolution_edits7137]

[@Winebuilder]

Hey Felix! You are doing great! But also i feel like everytime the big points have to be played it always seems like you are choking and making hasty decisions and not playing super calm like normally! Such a shame! Keep up the work and go get those important points in the matches

[@jah9253]

So close Felix! But I'm sure it was a good learning experience.

loving the vids felix just a quick question as a teen around 13-15 how do you get into competative tennis? as i think im good enough to play in some junior tournaments i just dont have any connections
