Jeff is the perfect example of sneaky good. He’s not ripped or super athletic looking like Tim, but he motors around the court with his 5’4 frame to near perfection. I noticed Jeff’s wrists and arm is perfectly loose, and he doesn’t seem to tense up, so he can direct his shots very well.

[@howdy0000]

Having been both a teammate and opponent of Jeff's, I can attest that he is indeed a beast. Nice match!

[@howdy0000]

His cross-court backhand pass is lethal.

[@princessoftennis5539]

I agree with you. Happy New Year.

[@1RA787]

Jeff is a scrapper, so there are no easy points. If he can get some pop on that serve... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@CoachAdrian]

That 6-5 point in the tiebreak was an epic rally! Jeff is just really solid. He doesn't make any mistakes! Overall, great tennis by both of you! 👍

[@tennistim]

Thanks Adrian! Good to hear from you. We should hit again sometime

[@CoachAdrian]

@@tennistim Most definitely!

[@shakeemrobinson2948]

That was a very fun match to watch! You're a beast as always Tim, but I love Jeff's game and attitude - Such a positive friendly guy and a great role model in front of his students. Jeff's not only a counter puncher but also an exceptional tactician. Very entertaining gentlemen.

[@tennistim]

Agree 100%, super nice guy, fun to play with, and crafty coach.

[@sderrick1]

Awesome. That's easily the best video you've done to date. Would love to see a re-match but you would have to come up with a new strategy to beat him.

[@uw10isplaya]

Jeff is my favorite kind of tennis player. The type of player that, back when I was playing in the juniors, I would disrespect even after getting my butt kicked 6-2 6-3 in some ntrp event. On the surface, the technique, body type, etc all disguise a really great game of tennis. Sneaky athletic, good footwork, reads the game very well, hits the correct shot as the point dictates, just a really, really good tennis player. And his backhand is excellent. The other parts of his game may look a bit awkward, but the backhand is sublime. Never rushed on it despite facing some great shots with pace, always able to place the ball where he wants with angle or depth. A tennis player's tennis player.

[@23jakar]

Great game Tim. As you said, Jeff has real quality moving around the field and anticipating the ball. He's a consistent player with minor mistakes. Next game you will have him. Your quality of playing tennis is beyond his.

[@junma9875]

First! Happy holidays to all of the TxT fam :). That was a grueling match. Jeff’s backhand timing is amazing. I am amazed at the accuracy of his shots, he doesn’t leave many balls in the middle of the court. Tim, your backhand slice has definitely improved, but perhaps it’s more effective against taller players. It was a tight back and forth match, could have gone either way. I didn’t see many backhand down the line in the highlights, maybe hitting that and coming in behind it against a player like Jeff could be fruitful.

[@tennistim]

Hahaha about time you reclaimed first comment status Jun. Yeah Jeff's backhand is incredible, which forced me to change my usual tactics of attacking righty's backhand. His forehand is no slouch either, takes the ball on the rise and gets some great angles. Good point on backhand line, will consider that for next time

[@Bubbles99718]

[@davidzhang1761]

Nice match. I thought your forehand looked better in previous videos. Here you often lost balance when you hit a forehand because your back would lean back after the swing. Maybe something to keep in mind :)

Those are such full strokes. I cannot imagine such strokes at the 5.0 level at a Colorado match. Atmosphere and altitude are both these player’s friends.

[@thomashall5575]

Hey Tim, I’m a full time teaching pro and I just wanted to say that I think your slice backhand looks great but I think that you could get a bit more depth and penetration on it if you finished a bit higher when you hit it. The few points where I saw your opponent really attack you were when you left your slice just a bit short allowing him to come in off of it.

[@tennistim]

Hey Thomas, yup great point! Just recently began working on my slice more and still a work in progress for sure. Need to be more consistent driving through rather than sometimes chopping down. Thanks for the comment!

[@Boxsuh]

Tim man you are shredded. I have to know if you do any resistance training inbetween your tennis practice and if so what is your weekly workout program. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[@tennistim]

Hahah thank you, it's honestly 70-80% diet and only 20-30% exercise. Too many people have asked, so I guess I have to drop a video about this in 2021. Generally, I weightlift 2-3 days a week and play tennis 2-3 days a week, so alternate working out and tennis each day with one rest day or a day focused on stretching/mobility bc I'm inflexible AF (sometimes more depending on how my body is feeling) each week

[@hunterb4399]

Jeff is a great player & coach at High Performance Institute! I've played against "the wall" a bunch, and he probably took a year or two off my forehand haha

[@jakelefkowitz4570]

Nice match! Jeff has good technique and is consistent, which you could guess from him being a coach. I think the issue is you didn't move him around enough and you allowed him to come to the net a lot, which seems to be a strong area for him. I agree with you on your serve return, should've been more pressuring throughout and really going for it, especially on any second serve opportunities. In general, you hit the ball harder and had some very good winners, but if the groundstrokes aren't as consistent as the opponent or just going down the middle, that pace won't do much good for someone at Jeff's level. Good fun match though!

Fascinating in that I'm sure everyone massively underestimates this guy. Which is sorta interesting. He simply doesn't look the part. And a huge part of that is he's such a happy go lucky nice guy u simply don't see athleticism or competitiveness in him. 5.0 is hardcore and this guy is a snugglemuffin "5 foot nuthin 100 and nuthin not a spec of athletic talent" He will devour your soul

[@tennistim]

Yup super nice guy, punches way above his weight and height on the court. Great example of how you don't need to be tall, huge, or even look super fit to be a great tennis player. It's a high dexterity sport and you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

[@원선생-v3v]

Wow! Jeff is so consistent

[@TennisLifeTV]

Jeff doesn’t have the biggest strokes but the way he manipulates his shots to use the entire court was really fun to watch. He’s obviously super tough to beat...he doesn’t have too many unforced errors and he’s pretty quick on the defensive and is great with his passing shots. Plus he’s comfortable at the net which helps him finish points.

[@tennistim]

Agreed. Very solid overall. Only clear weakness is his serve which I didn't exploit enough with my return

[@TennisLifeTV]

@@tennistim not sure if it’s the shirt effect but I could tell you started hitting more aggressive after 3:1 Before that, your pace kinda matched jeff’s pace and jeff seemed more comfortable in those rallies. When you went for more of a “first strike” tennis mentality, it seemed like you had more success. But then again, I could be entirely wrong

[@tennistim]

@@TennisLifeTV maybe shirt off effect is a little mental, maybe not haha. I have a bad habit of starting slow sometimes in matches. Takes me a few games to find my range especially since I prefer playing aggressive first strike

[@TennisLifeTV]

@@tennistim same here. I have a tendency to match the pace of my opponent’s shots...so I am trying to break that habit. Looking forward to moving back to the west coast in 2022. I will hit you up when I am in California!
