It's crazy that they even have a umpire, line men and ball boys! Keep it up, Felix.
Its very cheap in Indonesia thats why($3USD)
But no new balls!
@@olivernathandarmawan6163yeah very true
Should be like that everywhere. No excuses
@@susannewillert2685yeah not good
Reese was a solid college player at UNCW. Learning to fight through the heat, especially for an Englishman, is always challenging. Here in North Carolina, we spend 4-5 months playing in high humidity and ninety-degree temps, so we learn to fight through it.
What da flip is your account

I lived in Singapore for 6 months earlier this year. It took me about 2 months to get used to the physical stamina and rapid recovery necessary of playing at the 4.5 level... during mornings and evenings. Daytime requires months, if not years, of training in those conditions. The trouble is mostly that as soon as you overheat, there's no way to escape or recover. You're in both the microwave and oven at the same time.
i live in nc as well and i can confirm that it really isn't that hot compared to other southern states
It really is the humidity which makes players (people in general) struggle. One cna see this even at atp level at the US Open (jack sock and many more incidents...). Very very hard to prepare for these conditions when you ar not used to it and almost out of nowhere you start to struggle physically and from there it's really taff.
I just won my first tournament today green ball at 9 years old and it just makes me happy to watch you play and sinner winning the us open
That’s so cool
Keep it up boy!
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you all of you guys this gives me more momentum to win more tournaments and I wish Felix big too to get into a grand slam one day
5:45 most casual winner I’ve ever seen 😂
Felix, I have always believed in you ever since I found your channel. Your tennis is looking so much better and loose. Keep it up!
I've been watching Felix for a few months and even I am a amateur I can tell he is improving A LOT. His services, footwork, and so on. Keep going Felix!!
Agreed
I think the physicality is definitely there. When the ball gets slower and less dynamic, as in the Round 3 Qualifier, it's important to focus on extending rallies with the emphasis of moving the guy all over the court on the other side. Furthermore, you're right that slower and less dynamic tennis balls reduce the effectiveness of offensive weapons though that ball can also help bolster your defensive weapons. As I've been watching, the biggest defensive weapon you've got is your speed, so with that slower ball, any effort Reece could do to try and go flatter and harder and hit clean winners though he would fail to finish the point a larger percentage of the time because of your speed. Once you find the red zone via moving him around the court, you can hit into it, though expect it to take at least a few shots to finish the point. With this tactic, the opponent will get very tired and then the match is right on a silver platter...
14:36 For a second l thought it said Lorenzo Musetti😂
I thought it was Lorenzo Sonego ahah
Felix great to see you grinding it out, keep it up!
tennis Brothers, awesome content keep up the amazing work
Dunlop balls are notorious for fluffing up. They keep their bounce for a while, but are super fluffy at the end of a hitting session. Wilson US Open balls are the absolute best.
Tough match Felix.
One thing you may really have to consider is establishing a training base in an area where the weather is hot almost year round, so you can improve that side of your conditioning, and where you can find LOTS of high level players locally to train with, as well as prize money open level tournaments to keep getting good matches and possibly available hitting partner gigs to supplement your income.
My vote would be South Florida: Boca Raton, West Palm Beach- east Coast; Bradenton- West Coast.
Glad to see improvement, Felix! Keep growing your iq of the game and develop that intention to your shots. Remember anyone can beat anyone in a baseline game, but when serves and volleys are in play, you can see the difference between maybe the 1000th vs 100th ranked players. Develop that iq of knowing when to come to the net, when to be assertive and when to be defensive, and your game will skyrocket. You've got all the physical tools to be great, so there's not much concern there, but really studying the game of tennis is what will put you on top in the end
Great start to the week - you are moving so well and your overheads are soooo solid!
Now that’s what I call a quality video…
One of the best so far
Plus we finally got some singles action 😅
Its hard to leave a comment because he gets upset if you say anything thats not delusional positive comment, but i like to watch his videos
Top tier content!! Keep crushing it champ 🙌
So unlucky in that last match Felix as it was a coin toss.
Keep pushing Felix. The top 1, 000 will come.
Great to see the way you play, helps me a lot and great effort into editing your videos and putting your thoughts as you play, I believe this helps you a lot of to get better for next games. Good luck and keep it up!
Great work. You have great hits.
I used to be 4.5 but ended up losing my skill because of some bad medicine. Cant play the piano anymore either. But im trying to get my skill back. Youre inspiring! Thanks for these videos. You do really amazingly great with tennis and making videos. I was a state champion but i ended up losing everything with my skill. Like relearning to walk with tennis at this point. But thanks for your great vids that inspire me.
Keep Going!!
Good luck man! Just keep going and results will come!
This was really exciting to watch!! Good luck in the doubles!
Woohoo! Great job! 🎉🎉
You are amazing. Backhands and forehands are clean.
Great vid man! Love it!
Let’s go Felix!💪🏻💪🏻
Step by step edging in on a real breakthrough, Felix! Just keep going!
What an improvement bro. Love the hilton too
great effort. First week you adapted well to the heat and new environment, second week you go win. Good luck.
Great work felix, keep it up
you are my most fav youtuber keep it up great job
Wow that breakfest looked amazing definitely an amazing place!!!
Keep going Felix great job💪🏻
Amazing video!, good luck🎾
Camera angle on the first match was pretty good. It helps you appreciate the speed much better.
Pure inspiration 🔥🎾
You're very close to your breakthrough Felix. Look at your games after you play them closely and you'll see what it is. Once it's done, these will be childsplay for you. :)
Amazing grind. Enjoy these times and don't worry too much.
Cheers,
M
On running cut the check, I already on my way to buy 3 pair cuz of Felix!!!!
Great matches, thanks. So close in that last one. That's tennis.
Keep it going you’re doing great 😊
I''ve been to Bali last May. It's absolutelu wonderful for tourism with temples, jungle, lakes, volcanoes, etc...but I just cannot imagine myself playing tennis in these conditions.
you have improved so much
So close… sorry it didn’t work out this time, FM… but you got a good attitude. And you still got dubs and the good breakfast there! 💪
You need to train harder, you should be able to qualify for a 15k… use this as motivation. Love you brother ❤
-I just want to see you succeed 😀
Ahahahaha
Define harder. Bro is already dedicating his life to tennis..
@@Cwookie_ train harder on weaker points to win matches in order to play the main draw
@@p_drizzytvMate ur not helping ...I'm sure he's already training extremely hard , especially on his weak points .Look how much his physicality and backhand has improved .Felix can do everything, his issues are just mental
@@jose12234 exactly.. he needs to work on his mental part of the game. We will see him play in the main draw soon 🔜
You look like you're playing great, would be a perfect addition to the on running team, I think you will be someday soon.
That first match was a great performance 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Well played mate!!
Just saw ur match today , good game keep going
Felix, good to see you got your 2nd ATP Point. Must have been a tough 2nd round match when you played the Russian Bobrov ATP #396 but at least you got 5 games off of him
Having a history playing at Indonesia, really didnt expect to see you to play one of the old friends😂
Damn Felix you need to use this camera angle more often 2:48 great video keep the hard work!!!!
Ball at 13:45 was out right?
6:54 Awesome return
bro you were so close i believe in you man
How do you cope with jet lag Felix?
In your next video can you feature the full match point for point when you played against Sam Ryan Ziegann? Interesting to see how it all unfolded
can you play with me in England?
💀
I’m curious to understand what your coaching situation is like these days? It would be an interesting video to show how you are addressing some of the issues during matches. Or do you mainly work on technical areas of your game during off season?
i have a full time coach who i watch every match back with and hopefully he can come to some events soon
When did you first start playing tennis? Just curious! Nice vid
Last year
Yeah the base level isn't good enough to mow through these qualifiers. Just keep smashing until your base shots are good and consistent enough to destroy these guys. The more aggressive and confident players have an advantage in sports.
I play 3.5 league in the Florida summer heat and humidity and it is tough for people who did not grow up here, like me. No one wants to play a third set tiebreaker as it is too much of a coin flip, and often the matches go three sets, often 3 hours long. Keep a towel in a six pack cooler with lots of ice and put it around your neck during changeover. Singles matches are not easy.
Some very squash-like drop shots in this match, Felix! Have you ever played squash?
If this helps - proper acclimation for that heat takes anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. You have to be out in the sun and heat everyday (not all day but a good amount of time within your limits) without t-shirt and hat - building up a tolerance on your skin in the form of a tan. Get some sun on the face and head but in small doses again building up a tolerance there. At night when you sleep you feel very hot as the skin cools itself off. However after training to be in the sun and heat, the payoff is well worth it. ps. you would have that match in the bag mi amigo!
His parents must be so rich theres no other way he could be affording these crazy trips just to lose over and over. TH-cam only makes you so much money
I’m assuming he lives at home when he’s not playing tournaments. If he’s not concerned in the short term about savings for the future then he really only needs enough YT revenue to cover his tennis costs which was around $55k last year. It might not cover all his costs but it must cover a large portion of it. As a 30 something year old it probably doesn’t seem worth the investment long term but when you’re a passionate 20 something year old like him you’re probably not looking that far ahead. Fair play for giving it a go
@@hanumanstrengthim just pointing out he is very lucky most people cant afford to pursue tennis like this and lose
They are I believe. He's had elite from a young age, that's why it's clear as day that he won't make it unfortunately. He has a great game, but just does not have that mental edge. Nothing wrong with it. I still would not make it with all his opportunities.
😂 luck
@@tennisbrothers come back more humble maybe youll start winning
to train for those conditions, you can do SAUNA, lots of it before going to the hot country, lots of heat prep can be difference between winning and losing. ( they train like that in ultramarathon :D ) heat exposure before big race, nice improvement! didnt watch you for a long time, thats nice :O a bit too many backhand in the middle short, but its getting there!
Do you stay in the itf provided accommodation?
Been watching you since day one of your pro career and I check your match results on google quite often. You've definitely improved but a ton of your losses are in match tiebreaks(where you generally lose by very small margins). You should try focusing on simulating those conditions during practice, if you're not doing that already.
good luck
sick match point!
I’m Nico and I play tennis 5 days a week and tournaments on the weekends and I train 4-5 hours a day and I’m playing Usta tournaments usually level 5 now and I’m 11 and I want to be 1 in the world
Which academy/club you're playing the tournament in Bali?
The new serve motion>>>>
The humidity is rough, good stuff though!
What's the highest you saw your heart rate during the last quali match? How high do you normally get in general and what's your peak?
Nice job bro, pop off
GREAT job
What grip are you using? The one that absorbs the sweat
tourna grip
Nice match, dude I live in Orlando FL and it is hot and humid as hell here and a friend of mine played on ATP tour for years and he used to play in Thailand tourneys and told me that area of the world there is the most humid and hottest place he ever played. And he lived in FL to. Make sure you have plenty of spare clothes and a lot of grips
Whenever Felix’s titles are a question you already know he didn’t make it
let’s see
I honestly think you could benefit a lot from higher racket weight because it looks like you are swinging very fast right now with lots of head speed (which is good) but if you look at someone like djokovic he does not swing as fast and still generates a ton of pop on the ball. I think that could raise the ceiling (but of course not like i am qualified to give advice like this, just thinking)
In the very same loss i hear you fault the courts for being slow, the ball to not move properly trough the air, for balls to not be changed and the other guy being lucky and juuust in the end youll realize you probably could have stayed more aggresive for the last three (?) points, but still wrap up being quite happy with your performance. I recognize this reasoning from your previous losses and really have to put a comment now. You should be fuming after these losses, almost to the point you want to kill yourself, in order to learn and improve.
Tennis is a mental sport. You either win the tight ones regulary or you regulary loose them. Poor mentality and finding external reasons why you lost rather looking to yourself makes you loose more than you win.
Sorry but it wont do the trick and I foresee no breaktrough with this amount of accumulated "looser-mentality", either short or long term.
Such a shame on what otherwise seem to be an epic journey you're on which i could only dream of at this point with small kids at home.
Can we please appreciate the noah lyles esque sprint this man made at 7:04?
haha
Study the player while your matches are going on . Find their weakest points and hit the side it's on. For example,if your opponents week spot is his backhand keep hitting it there.Also,try hitting the ball to the sides so they cant get it. Hope this helps!

bro loves jah morant
How do you guys record & with what do you record your videos? I am interested in starting my own TH-cam channel about my tennis journey (maybe not as professional as yours but still) but I just don't know how/where to properly start. So I hope you can help me with that question :) Thank you in advance!
Go Pro 11
What's the name of the hotel
Felix - genuine question - do you think “giving away games” to regroup/conserve energy is normal? Just curious.
yes , depends on the situation , but its not really giving away games , its just choosing super high risk shots that if they work they get you easy points but if not then you accept losing the game
Welcome to Indonesia
I played against david agung as well when we were still junior players 20 years ago 🤣🤣🤣
not bad keep it up
Not enough depth control on the FH. Look at 14:13. Left it quite short. Should be able to get this deeper. The last point had the same issue, stepped into the court but still not enough depth - it was a little better but I still think that should be an easy ball to hit within 1m of the end line and it barely got past the serve line.
how much do you charge as a coach ?
@@tennisbrothers classy as your fh.
"I hate spice" said like a true Englishman!
I love spice that food looked good.
honestly when im looking at ur gameplay i think if u manage to improve the length of ur base strokes u will jump to top 800 i think. if u watch ur matches theres rly a lot of cases where ur uncontested base strike just lands right at the T which is just too short. u give the enemy such an easy opportunity to attack with little effort. what saves u sometimes is the fact that ur really quick but the higher the level the less forgiving this will become. all easier said than done obviously
Song name anyone ?!?
you just know if it doesnt say "Picking up the win" or smth like that he got wrecked
Tough loss. The level of tennis looks better than many atp matches i be seeing lol. Keep grinding
what you do for living?
The same outcome every video. I hope you make it to the main draw soon. I love the grizzly jersey too
i mean i can’t lie unless you win the tournament you will lose that’s just tennis
@@tennisbrothers I understand that, and I love your content. I just wanna see you make the main draw and win a couple of round. I’m cheering for you! I know you are headed in that direction.
If you whant a higher atp ranking you Should win This match
