[@fosho8214]

realize there might be a sponsorship/discount with Solinco, but Winston played better and the forehand/spin was more effective with the Pure Aero. Matt figured out and took advantage of Winston second serve and it was game over. Next lesson with Karue should be serve.

[@christopherwilhelm5636]

Winston, your progress has been incredible to watch recently, congratulations on your persistence and improvement, really impressive!

[@richardrobles7000]

I love Matt. His plays are enjoyable to watch. I would love to see him again

[@humbertoferguitar]

Another really interesting video to watch. I felt a good improvement on Wiston's game and totally agree with Matt's adivice about tossing the ball higher. Thanks for sharing this unique content for us... Wish you all the best.

GG guys! There were lots of good rallies. Matt's advice about the toss, DULY NOTED. ✌👏

These sets look better and better. I just started tennis this year and your videos keep up my motivation for the game. Keep it up!

You guys gave a perfect analysis of the match and the things that caused one to do better than the other, overall some awesome playing by the both of you though, well done

Great match! Both of you guys are playing really good

[@KaizenPhotography]

Good set. You both were very evenly matched.

[@NathanPlaysTennis]

Good sets guys! Love watching my fellow amateurs play tennis! You were one of the people inspiring me to make my own channel Winston 💪🏽 Hopefully one day we can play a set.

everyone has so much to say but tennis is always a improving sport. just make sure you're enjoying it, great stuff your doing bro. keep at it , enjoy watching your stuff.

[@silentxcure]

matt already has great sportsmanship. The dynamic between you guys was very awesome to watch. sidenote: It's amazing to see Winstons improvment since the first time I watched. People should definitely subscribe because its inspiring to see the progress he's making.

[@JoJoTennisPro]

You're playing well here! Maybe not the best one I've seen cause you seem to get caught in some parts but overall dude you've improved so much since I started subscribing in late 2021 early 2022!

[@tenniswithandy]

Great match you all. Winston, your game is looking rather good. I really like your aggressiveness off the ground. Matt, you did a nice job of attacking the short ball when you had a chance. I think the serve toss thing can go either way…just look at the ladies top servers, Graf tossed the ball all the way to the moon and Serena tossed it maybe just a foot above her strike point. Both had tremendous serves.

[@malagabee]

Very smooth forehand wrist snap action by Matt.

[@EdgeriPlaysTennis]

Great fun match from both! I cracked up when Matt started giving you advice mid match while he was still down. That’s some serious confidence 😂. Winston what is your leg day routine?! Do you squat the gym?!

[@wokengamer4891]

I've been watching you for a while now, and I just want to say keep up the work. I haven't checked your subs in a while but I really thought you had at least 300k because you have amazing quality videos 🎉❤❤❤

Interesting tips from Matt!

[@theintentionalist]

Pretty cool! Matt's service motion reminds me of Holger Rune's.

[@christineooichinting]

Great job Matt

[@elcolindo]

Matt has a nice game. You can tell he trains at a premier academy. In my humble opinion, Matt could load his legs more in the forehand drive for more power. The first serve wasn't going in but his second serve saved the day. Good job staying patient in the first games until you started seeing the ball better.

[@alwaysprepared]

Matt did an awesome job hanging in there til he got his strokes going! Well done and well fought to come back and win! I think Matt knows what he needs to do to improve his backhand. He's got a very nice forehand, though. He impressed me with some of his service returns, as well! I thought he also has really good instincts at the net! Probably needs to find his way up there more frequently. Also, I noticed a fair amount of the time he let balls drop below the height of the net when he was inside the court trying to be offensive. That makes it harder to be consistent hitting a strong shot having to lift it over the net. Glad Matt came back and won to hopefully impress any coaches who might watch!

[@randyhorn872]

Hi Winston, like your matches and have been watching for awhile. In the time I've seen your material I've seen an advancement of your tennis. A real good improvement on both wings, backhand and forehand, plus a better pop, spin on your service. Do you take lessons? Or through the many matches played you have self-improved?

[@jfitness432]

This guy Matt crushes the ball holy cow

[@tennisengineer226]

Matt started pounding the ball really hard after 4 games… specially on the serve returns…

[@MrPositive3D]

Getting better Winston! Staying nice and low on those groundies now is helping a ton. You've still gotta learn a flat first serve to get some free points however.

[@timlee5661]

Great content Winston. Enjoy watching your games. Just wondering, is there a reason you dont hit a flatter serve on the 1st?

[@rogsang9764]

what a match, at the beggining of the set i was rooting for matt, at the end i was rooting for winston; you´ve gotten better, if you develop much more your serve and your backhand in low balls you could´ve won

[@NamesAreRandom]

Winston's most obvious problem was Matt started running around the second serve and pounding a forehand return at Winston's feet, was very effective and Winston didn't manage to mix up his serve enough to stop it, or move well enough after the serve to be able to get the return back again.

[@IronFudge]

Wow, Matt's forehand is big!

[@iemptyzi9543]

Crazy seeing someone I’ve played many times on this channel

Have you guys seen the birds flying in formation in the back at 2:18 😮. Realy nice video, keep up the good work!

[@JohnDoe33408]

7:33 when you refuse to use your backhand.

[@architennis]

I thought the same thing! If Matt wants to work on hitting his tipspin backhand, hit it more often, not avoid it to the point of ridiculousness.

[@kevincostelloe4006]

Winston has improved so much from his earlier vids and he was still pretty good then. Just curious, am i seeing a pattern? Play well for 4 or so games and then kind of fall off a bit as your matches progress?

[@caioandrade3202]

Great match guys. Though it would be a easy one at the beginning but it was tough. I'm going to Florida area in September, does anyone has any advice of where can I buy good rackets at a good price?

[@BackoftheLineTennis]

Didn't count or mark anything down, but watching through it seemed Matts's slice was actually giving him more points, which you normally are really good about positioning. Would be interesting to actually see if it is true or if that is just when my full attention snapped in. lol. But anyway, always good stuff Winston. Cheers.

[@lorbatlo3298]

@winston you played much better in this match than the last but bring back the babolat aero :) still dont see the amount of spin you had before.

[@ElCapo07]

Nothing against Solinco but you game was definitely better with the babolat.

[@josebabasarrate6057]

Basically when Matt stopped making unforced and childish errors the game was finished. Big difference between the two!!. Nice work!!

[@petertran4774]

Hi Winston what do you use to record with and what kind of mount do you use?

[@Alwaysdiego06]

hey man! quick question, how do you edit in the score for your videos, what website or apps do you use to edit your videos.

[@lilth501]

Being located in France he's probably doing a lot of his training on clay Court

[@zesousa]

Recommendation string and tension for babolat pure drive?

[@twinwankel]

For you Winston, Matt's serve advice is spot. Your full take back makes a low toss feel rushed and as a result your drop is very poor. You can either toss the ball higher as Matt suggested or you abbreviate your take back and keep your tossing height. Also you really need to develop more racket head speed. Relax your arm during the serve and whip through the ball. What is surprising is that you didn't make Matt pay for his slow backhand slices during the entire match. You could have run around the ball to hit inside out forehands and put more pressure on his backhand. You are improving but there some things you could have done better to win the match.

[@markj6302]

Matt is a way smaller guy but hits HUGE! well done

[@timothy-johnbeach7635]

You should come up to Florida sometime

[@letrantrung1]

Matt's forehand was scorchingggg

[@JoJoTennisPro]

Element has been around for awhile now. It doesn't have a solid core, it has a multifilament core with a solid cover making it the "softest" luxilon string that's not natural gut.

[@nickharvey8515]

Winston, great match. One thing you never cover is racket weight. Do you ever weight your rackets? I know its a must for any serious tournament players to ensure all their sticks are the same grams/balance. My 6' 3" 15 y.o. recently played a tiny Madrid exchange student with blasting groundstokes similar to Matts from a weighted racket at like 38lbs. In order to keep up, I just weighted my new Vcore 100 and am dialing it in so I can do the same with my Son's Blade 98 V8 in order to get to more stability and plow on those aggressive hard hitting players. Id be fun to see you throw the rackets on a gram scale after the match to see whos loading the grip etc and not mentioning it 😂

[@shabzone]

11:29 it looks like you want to drag that back foot in for a pin point. Have you tried that?

[@volta9326]

The back-hand is getting way too smooth, keep up the progress.

Winston, extend the kinetic chain more through your wrist and crack the whip! I think your serve will improve and you will get more MPH on it!

[@ANa-ln2xp]

When you pause your serve at the trophy position you're losing the momentum built up hence loss of power. Matt can add more speed to his serve simply by fixing that hitch. I'd change coach.

[@Salmonzs]

So you'd change coach from an ex ATP 360 to Matt to fix your serve?

[@GameSaurus]

5:30 oops that must have hurt 🥲

[@ANa-ln2xp]

Winston, you're not shifting your body-weight back and forth consistently enough on your serve, forehand and backhand to unlock that effortless power, that's why your balls are sitting up for the opponent to attack instead of a 'heavy ball' penetrating through the court. Carue told you same the thing during your backhand lesson.

[@timclinton9248]

Matt is really good. The main thing I noticed is he is overusing the slice backhand and it is putting him on defense a lot. Edit: lol typed this before the analysis. Good observation from Winston

[@MrPositive3D]

Ya, that backhand slice is woeful (it just floats and isn't driven through the court) and unneeded. He's frightened of missing a topspin backhand and resorts to that slice over and over, getting him in awul positions way behind the baseline. A great player for Matt to study is Rublev. Rublev has mastered just placing that topspin backhand 2 feet above the net and just beyond the service line over and over, waiting for a ball to attack with his forehand. He's almost never trying to hit a winner off his backhand. Matt needs to get to that point where he can rely on his backhand to hit 20 shots in a row, so he can find that short ball to blast with his beautiful forehand.

[@anthonytrumble6076]

He's all arm movement with good power he needs to get used to full body motion while he swings and he would be fine he also needs to get comfortable with moving

[@the_young_crews]

damn do they not teach backhands at mouratoglou? guy is running around to the left fence when he needs to drive one

[@jackjd1973]

Aller Matthew!

[@Lucas.jp13]

Matt is looking solid, but a couple glaring issues he should be working on before the drive backahdn IMO - boy does he need to engage his legs way more on his groundstrokes. He is almost vertical on his preparation and has a slight knee flex before accelerating, but really gets no help from his legs on the swing. He also whips his head on the serve and looks like his eyes are off the ball before contact at times. For you Winston, idk why you kept serving to his forehand - body or backhand all day.

[@9r393]

on those short forehand shots that went into the net early in the set too. no load in the legs. but seemed to loosen up in a good way as the set went on.

[@jeromeozante8230]

[@bjohnson00]

I disagree with Matt about your toss height, Winston. There are plenty of players with big serves and low toss (e.g. Kygrios, Rude, etc.), and adding a pause to your motion will just slow down your racket head speed further. You just need to work on relaxing at the top of your motion to get a deeper racket drop, where the racket will come around further to be aligned with the right side of your body.

[@handsofstone1887]

Winston - you play better with that than the babocrap.

[@duckphuzz]

matt was great just i noticed he has a bad habit of spinning the racquet after each hit and he could lose his grip if the ball returns fast to him mid spin 😅

[@rope719]

You had him Winston. You could’ve attacked his backhand especially his short backhand slice returns and won several more points. Watch Mouratoglou’s KZbin videos. Matt is absolutely right about your lack of pace for a strong guy. Pretty sure you’re holding the racket too tight and not getting the racket acceleration/whip action through the ball. With better mechanics you will be hitting way harder with spin than Matt.

[@MTechnikM]

Today I learned - I'm also 5.0 or UTR 8.5

[@danielenzoo]

Why the switch from babolat?

[@MrMolsons]

Matt has some good potential but he needs to be a bit more patient with his shots. When he forced things, he got a bit inconsistent...

[@tennisdi]

I feel Matt needs to improve his footwork and his slice backhand.

[@MrPositive3D]

Matt needs to dump that backhand slice which is really a weak shot for him (it just floats and isn't driven through the court). He's frightened of missing a topspin backhand and resorts to that slice over and over, getting him in awul positions way behind the baseline. A great player for Matt to study is Rublev. Rublev has mastered just placing that topspin backhand 2 feet above the net and just beyond the service line over and over, waiting for a ball to attack with his forehand.
