I hit with him once a while ago back when he was at ASC love him so much hopefully he will have an amazing career

[@robdoug8831]

Not as amazing as tomics career

[@pratheekk__]

@@robdoug8831 obviously tomic is the goat. tomic is better than Novak so this guy has long ways to go before he reaches the levels of acclaim like tomic

[@kingkyrgios]

Jerry has a very good father who has his back!

[@vasumatiprem]

i love jerry..met him on a flight back to LA nicest guy I hope he does very well

[@peterzhang5237]

Shang has talent in sports as his parents were athletes. Wish he will be top 20 male tennis player in future.

[@jimnosnow4484]

Nice guy. Conducts himself appropriately. Rooting for him.

[@robdoug8831]

Like my boy tomic

[@michaelp9061]

Shang has mad talent but he needs to improve his durability. Injury seems to be his biggest enemy as of late.

[@EL-kf9vi]

That’s not a good sign. Burnout

Tomic better

[@TanNguyen510]

@@EL-kf9vi he’s 17 you bum lol

[@dannyskr-6889]

Don't forget he's still quite immature. He smashed his racket during his match against Jordan thompson last year.

[@beryl8285]

What a delightful video and nice introduction to Jerry. I wish you the best and hope you have a wonderful career!

[@robdoug8831]

He should follow in Bernie tomics footsteps

[@regularmouse4230]

Seems like the kind of guy who everyone wants to be friends with

You should of trained with Benoit paire

[@heyang_li07]

@@robdoug8831 why?

[@kaetanmehta7323]

I played with him in the evening practice

[@LowkAlexander]

He should come play college ball at UCLA. Head coach over there really develops complete players, any top program would help him

[@robdoug8831]

He should get a lesson from Bernard tomic

[@verena21.7]

Please with Jannik Sinner🇮🇹🎾

[@patriciomora9663]

He has a big game!

[@intuitiveanatomyYT]

Very similar style as Korda’s strokes. I hope his coach improves his charisma on court, as I’m sure his techniques will be very solid in a few years. Would be interested to see head to head match with other Asian super stars, like Kwon or Nishioka.

[@robdoug8831]

He should mimick tomics strokes

[@ricardomoraga9182]

Marcelo chino ríos.

[@misterc5783]

At least we know where he is I suppose.

[@yjw1201]

Go Jerry try to make the USOpen qualifying if you cont to play a few good challengers Marcelo Rios will make Jerry the best!

He will get destroyed by goats like paire and tomic

His English is great

[@jeffvanderwerf3391]

He definitely has lived in English-speaking countries for some time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to a tennis academy at a young age. He basically has native level English with a slight accent.

[@olaraay]

Lord tomic

[@supermodel2]

I heard he might become American but not sure if that’s true? I know he lives full time in Florida hence the good English.

[@pantethine66]

financially better for him to keep his Chinese citizenship.

[@user-gh1vc9kb4e]

@@pantethine66 Correct. The USA system of taxation based on citizenship is the most onerous in the world. More and more Americans renounce their citizenship each year to escape the ball-and-chain that American citizenship attaches to you.

[@EL-kf9vi]

Very skeptical of Shang. He’s a left handed version of Tseng Chun-Hsin. Short and no big serve and the same weaknesses. Don’t think he can survive the main ATP tour. The Big boys will eat them up.

[@robdoug8831]

Like paire and tomic

[@punpun2773]

Lol no he's much more powerful than Tseng and serves much better. He's 17 years old and already has many top 100 wins to his name so Idk why you think he can't make the ATP.

I follow ATP, where the current superstars are playing.

[@onyx081]

It clearly says in the description "star in the making" not that he's already a "superstar". Every current superstar started from somewhere. They don't just appear out thin air. Hence the term 'star in the making'. It just means that he has a promising career ahead of him.

@@thom4466 it’s about the journey, if you read the description it says star in the making due to his success in juniors and breakage into the ATP
