For those wondering what differentiates these guys from the pros in the top 100, remember these are the best points from their matches. You're not seeing the match as a whole, which probably has a lot of lower quality points as well. Tennis is about discipline and showing your peak form consistently throughout the entire match, among other factors. Pros have greater discipline, consistency, and overall athleticism.
@@boson6336 this seems to hold true even for lower tier schools such as D2-D3. Players will be going at it during a point and someone will get impatient and try to go for an unrealistic approach shot setup or simply try slapping it back to get a winner instead of just playing a comfortable pace. Quick point
Very perceptive comment. I would add that at the highest level there are a bunch of guys that read the game so well that they start moving earlier to every ball, some of them also have great efficiency with shot production so compared to these college guys the pros can look way more chill . . . like tennis is easy I a thinking of Federer, Djokovic, Medvedev
The biggest thing I have noticed is that pros consistently hit a lot higher. A lot of people at this level just hit fast and low on every shot in comparison. No margin for error
Yellow shirt seems like he could play any sport. Grey shirt seems like his parents glued a racquet to his hands when he was 6 months old. Both types tend to end up as successful tennis players though
@@renjizchan I dont think so man .. you just need two good racquets and a public wall , court to play . I dont want to pay for court reservation most of the time so i go at odd times of the day like from 9-10 pm where i can find empty courts and nobody asking me to leave :)
Damn I get the one dude was an ass but be realistic. 99% of you guys won't even come close to the level in the video, let alone higher than this. Some people need to be brought down to reality instead of dreaming they can do whatever with effort lmao
I don't get how these people can play tennis so good, and its not even pro level, it just boggles my mind. How can they hit the ball so powerful yet so clean and how are they so incredibly fast that they get to balls they should never have gotten and should be clear winners.
Yeah man, these guys would get wrecked on the Challenger tour. It's sad too, because the guys on the Challenger tour can't hardly make enough to feed their family. Take Devin Britton (NCAA champ) who couldn't make it on the tour and now is an Assistant Coach, Noah Rubin (ranked #1 in USA at Wake Forest) and he has a channel or something where he talks about depression / failing to make ends meet. & then Federer makes $93 million in 2019. It's not right. It's impossible for anyone else to catch up to that. I played #1 at a Division I school, but afterwards couldn't afford to spend $1,000 per weekend to go play in a tournament somewhere in the world for no prize money (maybe make $200). I wish I could have though, I would have literally been living my dreams from when I was a kid.
Steve K Whether success transfers to one level or not is very hard to guess. I know some juniors that i played who were beasts in the 16s and their level of play sharply declined when they got to the 18s and eventually into college. For some people it’s the exact opposite, the older they get the more their play style aids them.
Muscle memory and insane reading-the-opponent-skills. Where you and have hit balls thousands and thousands of times, they 've hit balls millions of times. Where you and I respond about 0.6-1s after the opponent hits the ball, they respond 0,3s after the hit or already positions themselves before the opponent even hits the ball since they read the body language. And because they have practiced and played so many matches, there's a lot going on at subconscious level. A lot of tennis patterns are fixed at pro-play. When to hit cross court etc.
@@stevek1867 It seems like you need a wealthy person who would sponsor you. You can't pay for it all or we need more tennis clubs with a pool of coaches.
The athleticism and skill level of these guys is great to see! Go to the 17:17 mark to check out the let get and racquet hand control on the 2nd shot! Gotta love it 🎾❤
Yellow guy is a player fr Israel and is #1 in college tennis 2019-20. He is very fit and naturally athletic. Can hit from any position on the court. The grey t-shirt guy is A. Rotsaert, American college player. Was #1 junior I think. I am very positive he started playing at a very young age as he looks very polished technically etc. But he could use a little more speed and agility.
they are such awesome players.. its just goes to show that the difference lies in the mind state as far as professional tennis i9s concerned..i ve participated in the national circuit and i was not even close to them back then,, such good consistency
I haven't been able to play tennis for 5 years due to my illness. Watching these tennis makes me so nostalgic of my high school days playing varsity... :(
Those college guys are dangerous. I hate to play against them even on PRO level. No points no information but they are used to conditions in the US and actually can play very good
quarantine will end, think through what you most need to develop, maybe it's a time to work on your volley and/or serve, even using a wall and practicing your volley in-air non-stop from 7-8 feet helps w strength and timing, you can also do calisthenics for strength/conditioning. I was only 5.0 but was almost always the strongest, most fit guy on court. At any rate, think of what you can do and go for it. I got hurt in 15 and am 1/2 paralyzed now. I miss it too- hugely.
Y'all still can't play in the US?? I'm over here in Europe and Tennis was one of the first sports that were allowed again, they allowed a month ago. Why would they still ban it? It's a non-contact sports.
These guys play at a nice level with fast shots. They deserved AT LEAST a 2nd jugde on the opposite side of the court. So many wrong line calls. Some were clearly out, mostly on the opposite side to the umpire.
The pros are a bit more experienced and understand things that college players don’t. So the pros will destroy them. I know it sounds strange but that’s what would happen
Look up Nishikori playing against Challenger level, it totally shows the difference of levels and decision making. th-cam.com/video/-VQLB8-1nKA/w-d-xo.html
As a coach, I can see clearly why the guy in grey is losing. For one, he doesn't seem to mix up his second serve against someone with a dangerous backhand down the line. Rookie mistake.
@@Doramuotoko unfortunately, without the technology to confirm nets, they have to play them out, even when they are super obvious. only way to make a rule that can't be abused.
I know I'm not the only one that thought grey shirt's serve was weird. He tosses the balls and then after he's halfway done with the serve form, he looks up and hits the ball.
of interest serving in pro tennis has quite a few different forms.... you would think biomechanics says one way but actually its pretty varied in style.
@@garrett1786 serve direction relies more on shoulder angling and direction rather than with the head. So he probably wasn’t trying to fake out his opponent
There is not just much difference between these guys and the pros. The pros have better serves and returns as well as being more consistent. But apart from that there isn't much that separates these guys from the pros.
@@zachmason868 well I mean yeah they’re all humans and have fairly comparable body builds so other than experience and athleticism there shouldn’t be any strikingly different characteristics between them
Rotsaert's serve is pretty crazy: he drags his right toe, then jump off his left foot, then does a kick serve motion with pronation... I like it, but it is a little crazy.
There’s room to improve the grey guy’s serve. He took too much time back to prepare hitting the ball after serve. I like both’s forehand, especially the yellow one, more powerful and spins
nice matches and i would like to support the guy with white tshirt and white cap keep your focus u're the best brother best regards from germany offenbach am main 069 near frankfurt am main
I think that in terms of raw power and athleticism it'll look the same but the difference is in the margins. Slightly better placement on every ball and slightly more consistent on every ball. It's still nuts to think these guys would get absolulely bodied by anyone in the top 200
One of it is The pro players don’t make attacks all the time .these college students are attacking most of the shots.in pro if you put one ball into corner without off balancing them they will hit you back even harder.
great videos on your channel thank you! may I please have permission to use your footage for comparison/analysis videos I'm making? I'll be sure to credit you in the description
what actually is the advantage of platform? I've always served pin point and never really ever was told why someone might want to use platform. Is it just more simple? Less room for error since you aren't moving your right foot?
@@bonzwah1 supposedly, platform is better for movement into the court through the ball, while pinpoint is better for movement up through the ball. and yet some platform servers like federer drive higher off the ground than many pinpoint servers. platform is the old way and I think it's because the foot behind is a good start to push into the court to serve and volley
What is up with that net? It's propped up high on the sides and seems to sag in the middle. Is that normal? Must be correct about something or they wouldn't be playing a match. Excellent tennis too.

wow these guys are amazing
