UTR is kinda weird sometimes since my rating goes up higher when I lose…… 😭

Nice

It’s giving “I speak for the trees” 🧡

Whats that ballerina serve?

Meike is an amazing coach

Subscribed! Let's hit that 1k! Keep up the videos I've been watching a for some time now

😮. I'd recognize Meike's voice anywhere. Great collab.

Hey guys! I tried a new style of editing in this video, so if you like it and want to see more of it, reply to this comment and let me know! I'm trying different things out and want to know what you guys prefer.

Very nice, you have improved a lot. Now the next is just hitting stronger to have higher speed. You may need a training partner that is 4.5 to hit with you so you can get into that 4.0

Bro whoever plays tennis is just weird im ngl😂 i dont see the point in it

You have to lob him

Fire video! How’d your doubles tourney go btw :)

What’s a UTR

What is an utr?

I’m 17 and a utr 10.5

great match! can you tell me what racket and string setup do you use?

I’m 11 and I have a 7 utr 😂

Ez

W

That’s actually pretty impressive

What a match! Very well played Talein - your tennis has already improved so much since the first video of yours I watched a few months ago! You'll be 4.0 in no time. By the way, your footwork for the point starting at 4:32 was so clean - keep it up!

Man I would hate to have to argue with basketball players to use the tennis court! I already have to deal with obnoxious soccer players using the tennis courts as their soccer field 😅

You did great job. Clean and preside. His backhand is very bad. You took adventage over his weakness

Hey, the wta called.

I just watched a vid of yours from 3 months ago and you have really progressed. You really make use of shot variety and change of pace shots well.

Not sure if this is just casual play but if you eant to have better reaction speed fo shuffling and split steps in between shots itll feel harder at dirst but its worth it in the long run

Nice shot nerd

love this! please keep posting this time of content

no offense bro isn't alcaraz

This says a lot about the state of tennis today. If the sport was respected as it was back in the 80's and 90's they would not have dared put basketball or pickleball lines on the court. Recreational players simply don't hit the ball with the modern tennis swings, such as the wrist snap, etc and interest is way down. Maybe not for TV audiences, but for every day players. Changes need to be made so players can better emulate modern swings.

that's the reason why i will never do a smash in comp lol. every time i try that's what happens :P

fun tip of advice just because it worked out for me in comp last week: if the ball is too far out wide on the backhand side and there's no way you're going to reach it, attempt a left handed forehand up with no spin, I have a 50% success rate and that was all i needed to clutch, it was epic lol anyways that was a beautiful drop shot lol, i love those. also you probably could've won the point on the smash by faking the smash then doing a drop shot because your opponent was so far back. tennis isn't just skill, it's also mind games :D

I would rather play on your court than those with cracks, weeds, mold spots, ... at least the ball will bounce evenly and you won't trip and twist your ankles. Regarding advice, you do the split step fairly regularly and that's very good. Just try to do it all the time, especially when you prepare to volley. Most of the time, you seemed to run through your volleys without even stopping. If you are somewhat a beginner (apparently that is the case), I think you have good potential. Pay attention to the fundamentals, split step, unit turn, reading/anticipating your opponent's shot and prepare early, ... Most self-taught beginners never go far because they focus too much on stroke production and neglect the fundamentals.

I went from a 0 to a 4.5 UTR in 1 year. Currently playing high school tennis

NiceNice. You are trying the slice a lot. I recommend 2 things for them. One is to add side slice occasionally--one of the biggest benefits of slice is you can add side spin easier than you can on topspin. Just practice slicing with the face of the racket closer to 8 o clock instead of 6 or 4 o clock on forehand side. You should be able to arc it left or right several feet before it lands which is harder for the opponent to time their shot, and also once you get more accurate it can pull the opponent off the court so you can have more of the court to hit a winner into. Second is to add more offensive slices; your slices are going up very high then they come down as a sitter for the opponent to hit. Generally you want high net clearance like that only on topspin not the slices. I only hit high/floaty slice if I am behind the baseline and want to buy time like when they serve out wide and I need time to recover toward center. When you are 2 or 3 feet inside the baseline you can sharpen your angle and attack with slice because you don't need the ball to rise as much before it goes over the net. To do this, start with the racket high on your slice swing (I always think of Federer with his racket up near his ear level on his slice). You can target opponent's feet this way, or just skid it off the court on angles, or knife it to the back corners and follow the ball toward the net to volley. One last thing is you have nice drop shots; you can experiment adding side slice to them so they don't bounce up as high once they land, or backspin to cause them to bounce back toward the net. If you are able to control a slice groundstroke, the same muscles allow you to strengthen your drop shots with backspin.

Great match! Basketball hoops, neighbouring playground, pickleball and basketball lines aside… it looks like a good court! No visible cracks or uneven surfaces that I can see!

Very good progress! Wish I could play tennis again, but my mind tries to betray my body into believing I can physically still do it.😟 You're doing VERY well!

Great progress! Keep it up! 🥳

Deeper approach shot would have helped. Once decided youre attacking the net run harder, get in to the net then easy high forehand volley into the open court. Tennis is always about taking time and space away from your opponents.

I see myself on you

Haha that smile of disappointment in one-self..

Not me I only play it on wii sports

rip i hate this happening to me in pickleball or i completely miss it lol

That’s crazy to see how much of a difference.

I could not care less about tennis. PICKLEBALL ALL THE WAY

What’s your UTR?

Yay I have a higher UTR than a big guy

Nice job
