USTA 5.0 Baseliner Girl vs. USTA 4.5 Baseliner Guy | Rematch with Claire

[@christian11111]

I see a lot of comments about how 13:35 and 11:40 was in. I slowed them down and zoomed in at the moment of contact and although both to our perspective would look like they contacted the back of the line, they very well could be out. Our perspective being behind the ball will give it the appearance of being further into the court than the ball may actually be. Additionally, if they were both in, they were barely in, fractions of an inch on the back part of the line, meaning these were incredibly hard balls to call and if they were called correctly or incorrectly it really doesn't matter as we have no side angle or hawkeye to confirm. So everyone saying she/he was robbed should probably just be quiet as it's not as obvious as people are making it seem.

[@tennisteuton]

A refreshingly direct answer to inane critics: "should probably just be quiet". Exactly!

[@rusty935]

you blind af

[@thebigNT]

I thought 13:35 was in so I came to the comments. After reading your comment, I went to 0.25x and paused and it actually does look like the ball is out by a millimeter or so.

[@Sunny_Tang]

PSA: you can use "," or "." to fast forward or rewind the video frame by frame when paused.

[@aomana4357]

@@Sunny_Tang Yes, and mostly likely the ovoid shape of contact with the court, this ball was in. Of course, from Du's perspective, most of the background is beyond the line, so to him it looks out.

[@SAM098.]

13:35 Ball 100% IN

[@alligatorsarefire]

ik and it was a crucial point too he needs to work on his line calls

[@Brobeans23]

Seen him with some off calls in some vids. It happens.. but that’s a huge point to be calling out when it’s obviously in

[@rayli7518]

Yes 100%

[@UAMartin7]

Great match! Really like how Claire always goes for her shots and be aggressive. Winston is becoming quite a pitchman...perhaps try to get a gig with GoPro and they will send you a better camera?

[@bn9161]

Claire is definitely my spirit animal. She just goes big with every shot. Gotta love it.

[@kenkrehbiel1931]

Great video! Love both your play styles and seeing rematches with strategy adjustments!

[@jeffislearning]

13:35 Pivotal point winston needs to hold serve 5-4 (30-30) Ball was clearly IN Winston calls OUT ROFL

[@temseti]

Glad that Claire pulled it back... some of those line calls by Winston...shocking.

[@gregbishopmav]

Claire defining hitting through the ball. Just staying low and laying into it. Ostapenko drive! Great to see. Winston turning the wheels on to keep up!

[@VanCough]

Just from the first game, Claire has an amazing serve and 1-2 combo. She just needs to work on her transition game and explosiveness at the net and she could be unstoppable

[@RobTennisBeckenham]

You played much better @Winston than the last time. I think towards the end when you were serving it out Claire became more aggressive and you were more passive so the momentum swung at 5-2 I think it was.

[@Pandacakesssss]

5:50 That transition from shaddy to bright was like a flashbang, my god

[@shipwreck8847]

Winston, it's nice you show videos of sets you lose. A ton of youtubers only show their best moments or the matches they win and they never or rarely show matches they lose. I think it's an insecurity thing, but it's nice that you don't mind that much and show everything. Please continue to play players that challenge you and compete at a high level. Would love to see more matches of you getting pushed to the limit and losing isn't a bad thing. It's a step towards growing taller.

[@ack31184]

I wish losing matches actually made you taller.

Great content mate. Always enjoy these videos⭐️

[@jimbertrand7247]

Winston, Your duels with Claire are epic! We need third battle for all the marbles. I've been looking at Claire's strokes to improve my own, as she is closer to my style of play. Good luck with your channel.

[@dy78915]

13:35 was in

[@Merro959]

Yes very in! That was a shocker lol

[@JL-mz8fb]

Wow Claire has a nice aggressive game! I would want to see how she goes against low slices at the baseline and how she deals with them. For me, it's hard to stay on the aggression when they slice it low.

[@Flstudiog-d]

Fun watching her play

[@frederickooi392]

This was so exciting to watch! Sure there were errors but some pretty incredible shots too. Claire hits really well! I can only wish my game was as good.

[@kn9ght]

exactly. Man, she hit the ball so well, wish I had her groundstrokes

[@venc3907]

She said your balls were heavier in the end Winston. Proud moment for you 😅

Fantastic match! Claire is cranking those returns.

[@gretchenlittle6817]

Claire plays like I would have liked to when I was her age -- maybe I missed it but did she play in college? Seemed like she was a little off today but still brought it when she needed it! She definitely knows how to punish a short ball.

[@HankHell41]

8:13 Claire has quite the growl

[@hsy2448]

lol

[@Littlefield82]

Winston, you should do some videos documenting your progress to improve your serve (recorded coaching sessions or something). The rest of your game is at a much higher level than your serve can support. Claire was teeing off on your second serve a few times. Just an idea for content.

[@koreancardboard]

Winston, I have a GoPro10 and it keeps overheating after 20-25mins and shuts down, It's garbage for that reason. Apparently if you use a power bank via USB cord (no battery) it can last up to 45-50mins before over heating but I havent tried it yet. Thanks for the match!

[@michaelp9061]

Clair forehand is bomb

[@GRUMO]

Claire can surely hit some bombs. Great match up. Thanks for sharing. This content is gold for someone getting started.

[@alwaysprepared]

Claire is a BEAST! I didn't think she had a chance of coming back from the deficits, but she did in spite of her high risk game! She moves around the court great! Question: Was your GoPro exposed to the sun? Did you try putting something over it to shade it a bit, if so??

[@HankHell41]

13:34 👀

[@Wuerthi1888]

LOl - in by about 2"... Getting desperate

[@paulcundy410]

Enjoyable to watch. Looks like at time Claire hurried her shot.

[@eliphillips8045]

Claire you could maybe try out an extended racket that would maybe make up for the handle grip area.

[@davidhunternyc1]

That was so much fun and entertaining to watch. Where was this? I live in NYC now but that looks like it's in the O.C., in the Tustin/Irvine area. I was born there.

[@sh0ck815]

Oh man, Winston had it on his racket a few times! Good resilience by Claire to switch up her game plan when the backhand kind of let her down. First match it seemed like her backhand was her weapon of choice, but the timing was a little off on this set. I liked seeing her change the plan and focus on going inside out on the forehand more often to help get her back in the match. Winston played really solid and made her uncomfortable with much more variety of shots and spins this go around (which is good strategy when playing a heavier/flatter hitter). Unfortunately, he wasn't able to close it out at the net, or the set would've been his. He also seemed to run a little out of gas in the tie-break (not running down the balls we usually see him run down), which is understandable playing in camera-melting conditions. Thanks for the content guys!

[@landonlowe4029]

Commented similarly on Winston. Most variety I've ever seen him play with !

[@greensky9530]

Definitely a much more evenly matches set-- winston executed much better especially at the start of the matchs

[@topspin1715]

Try placing a piece of paper above the GoPro to block the sun. If that’s too difficult to do, go to hardware store and buy something sturdy you can attach above the camera and anchor it to the fence.

[@geausportequipment]

Great playing by both! Winston - looked like you were more focused on hitting higher heavier balls and I think it worked

[@ronaldt7947]

Winston ur play is better since your last match with Claire. The height of your balls early in the set affected Claire and is what caused poorer execution from her. This set should have been 6-2. Winston got very tentative at 5-2 and was hoping Wishing Claire would miss... very nervous aka choking... stay the course thru the finish and focus less on the win by staying committed to ur process and you will complete the match convincingly. Next time you play Winston Claire focus on pressuring his backhand with repeated shots rather than pressuring his movement by changing directions so much if you want to win easily. Enjoyable to watch thank you for allowing us to view...oh yeah Winston bringing Claire in with a short chip return to one side then passing or forcing her to volley is a good strategy( see game 1)

[@wtr7]

Great match. More Claire (future). Both of you were going all out. Thanks

[@johnhhh3591]

Cool set, fun to watch. As opposed to her near-flawless execution in the last match, I think Claire was maybe overhitting a touch on short balls early on. Another change was on her serve, where I think she dropped her tossing arm a touch early at times, which led to some struggles with the serve going into the net. But so solid on both sides of the net. Winston's loopers worked unless they didn't. Claire slammed some of those high-bouncers! Rematch!

[@trysis260]

Everyone's a winner. Sure. Could have finished the set despite camera issues

[@chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa4320]

Nice content. Youre a decent player Winston much improved from a video I saw a few months ago. I think some minor coaching with setting up points and your ranking can go up even more. Thanks for the videos. Well done.

[@jimmac6367]

Winston - your movement was much smoother (and quieter) in this match and I think that resulted in better shots and better play overall on your part. Well played. Still hoping you devote some time to net/volley technique and practice to complete your tennis arsenal. And I think Claire is more of a 10.0 than a 5.0; no weaknesses in her game.

[@hamzaa.8082]

11:40 the ball was in!

Very entertaining set. I love claires power and ankles.

Thanks for your videos! One suggestion, I find the camera point of view a little frustrating, you might get a better visual result by using a stepladder or similar and mounting the camera on the top rung.

[@nguyen925]

Dang you definitely had the upper hand like last time . It's time to develop your go to shot Winston!

[@lisaharness6243]

Love this. Thank you. Did your camera keep failing because it was extra hot out that day or was it just technical issues? If it was extra hot then bravo to both of you, as your levels were so high throughout the match.

Claire's weapons are formidable. When she's on, it's devastating. But those unforced errors, oof! I can commiserate.

Your content is so good man! It’s so nice finding matches between male vs female.. please keep doing so… Btw, I’m wondering if there’s a cheap and easy solution for the camera heating…

[@stefano78]

Claire is really good. Good movement, good strokes, good aggression. Winston, I know you said (in reply to my comment on another video) that you are trying to bulk up, but seriously, if you want to get better at tennis, you are already at least 10lbs too heavy maybe even 20. One can tell by your movement and the speed of your strokes that you have too many slow-twitch muscle fibers from all that weight lifting. Your call, of course.

[@cxa1cxa220]

[@srouse39]

Was you taking it easy on serve or just not a hard server. Also looked like you took it easy on a overhead? Solid ground strokes for both.

[@stanleyniezrecki2469]

can you mount the camera higher like on a pole or ladder.

[@tomrojas6459]

Good stuff: Classic banger v grinder tennis. Pleasing and interesting to watch… With a player like Claire, the match is generally going to be on her racquet. If she drives hard, with accuracy she will have the advantage. Conversely, if Winston can maintain a high % of 1st serves in, and can keep his ‘heavy’ balls deep, he can push Claire to over hitting some lower percentage shots, increasing score board pressure. V good content, IMO.

[@freethinker9254]

Big congrats to Claire, her opponent was in big difficulties due to her agressive game in this set ! I'm sure she will play in the WTA in the future cause she deserves it.

Claire missed so many shots today - unlike her play in previous video. Nice play today, Winston. I felt that if you also have a very good feeling with neutral power to placement shots, even more effective to win points that aggressive attacking shots.

[@ItMaker5000XL]

Watched it in 0.25x, and it's VERY close. Camera doesn't have a good angle but it appears to have caught the line. When you're the player, you call what you see and stick to it. It's a normal part of the game to have some percentage of questionable (or even "bad") calls. Everyone gets some wrong! It's more about the intent.

[@gabrieltorrealba2560]

Winston doesn't need to hold back on his serve power against Claire, as she can handle his pace. In fact, she was serving harder than Winston (because he was holding back).

[@Shank-o-Pottomas]

What tension do you string your strings at? I've been thinking about playing around with my tension a bit. I use poly, and would previously string at around 42-44 lbs, but I just got my racket restrung at 48 lbs to hopefully help with some control. We'll see how it goes!

[@Shank-o-Pottomas]

@@WinstonDu Thank you, how often do you usually have to restring to maintain tension with Hyper G, or until you notice enough of a drop in tension where you lose some control? I usually only restring once my strings snap, which can usually last me upwards of 75 hours at minimum. Trying to change this and get better about restringing and choosing a tension that gives me more control. I usually use RPM Blast and Luxillion 4G but am thinking about switching to Hyper G because of the cost savings

[@davidgivins4203]

Good Assessment 👍

[@michaellee888]

Closer set. Winston didn't run around the backhand. As a result, better court coverage. What Winston wasn't able to do was better net play. Credit to Winston who may not be comfortable moving forward, but did go to net to put away the ball. As a result, was successful at times at the net. Winston's foot speed was really exposed with Claire's lobs against Winston. Winston wasn't able to move fast enough to hit overheads. Winston has to improve his overheads, volleys and swinging volleys. Overall, much better effort from Winston and it showed. It was a close set! Keep moving forward. Need to step into the shot to put away to ball. Had Winston executed better 1st service percentage and less unforced errors, maybe Winston could have won the set. Easier said than done, but it's a must against a good player like Claire. Winston had opportunities to win the set, but the painful unforced errors hurt his chances to close the set out. Claire was generous in this set. Claire could be a slow starter, so Winston really needs to take advantage of that before Claire gets into the zone with her game.
