@@mikerzisu9508and? its not like being 12 gives u atp levels of stamina. majority of 12 year olds dont have that much stamina.. also the reason most people in their 20s dont have stamina is cus they are out of shape. and the reason most 12 year olds do is because they are active. Nothing to do with it
@@javier-qs2hdThank youu. People always expect kids to have infinite energy but it’s not just like that. They have different amounts, certainly more than older people but not a super amount.
lots of respect to Adrian for the calls me makes. Super generous with them, the high-level kids on the channel before usually are pretty sketchy about calls so this shows maturity and great sportsmanship at a young age!
Coach Karue is the real deal. Your overal tennis level has increased a lot since the lessons. You're hitting super clean, nice and smooth movements too. Congrats Winston.
I have to totally agree with Pedro. Winston you were stepping in on almost all the “more shallow” balls and it made a big difference. I have to do that in my game!
@@jeromep4148 IMO he could have come in more, but it was good to see him venture into the net more than usual. the footwork was much better than it has in the past too - i kind of think when he was able to hang in there on those baseline rallies (i think old less split-steppy timing Winston wouldn't have been able to), sometimes he did too much. but its amazing to see the improvement! thats all from my armchair commentary today.. great match!
That’s funny, I was going to come here and post that I figured everybody was rooting *for* the 12-year-old! As much as we love Winston. I really wanted to see the youngin’ do well. He played fantastically, and kept it together despite being down, and even came back to tie it up. That is some serious tenacity in someone who is not that old!
He is ranked 5th in the nation...I would say he is already great. If your definition of great is a 12 yr old beating a good adult player, then he already almost did that here. His future career will depend on his physical growth and his athletic ceiling. A lot of high ranked juniors are technically sound but their athleticism has a ceiling. We won't know his ceiling for a few more years.
I liked a LOT about Adrian's game! He kept coming back to move the ball around and often controlled the play. A lot of focus and energy on the court! Hope to see a lot of him in the future!
12 yr old is solid! Very talented. I think he got a bit too overconfident lol after he said “he’s better on camera” you went on a massive streak. Looks like you took that comment personally 😂. Backhand is looking very fluid Winston! Footwork also looks much more intentional and efficient! Love seeing your improvement! You are becoming even more entertaining to watch as you are starting to attack the ball and take more risk. Keep the content coming!!
Think Adrian is a really smart player, looping it back to give more time to recover, knows when to just stay in the rally, when to attack. Good strategy as well as strokes. Winston was wearing proper socks so there was no real chance of a victory.
That was no KID!! Anyone who hits the ball like that is no longer a 'kid' on the court. That is one HECK of a young man!!! Great match to BOTH of you!!
Great match, guys. Stats vise Winston won 4 more points (55 vs 51) with 3 less unforced errors (28 vs 31) and 1 more winner. Interestingly, Adrian had more breakpoints (12 in 6 games vs Winston 7 in in 4 games). But both won 4 break points each. Winston won the short rallies by 14 points (33 vs 19) and Adrian the medium length rallies (20 vs 10). I love Adrian's forehand 5:33 and how he kills weak 2nd serves 5:46 I think Adrian is a great match up for Winston, would love to see a rematch for a pro set
This was very fun to watch! You are improving every day, Winston. 👏I have to say I'm so jealous of Adrian's groundstrokes. His backhand is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this, Winston. I love your channel. 😀
I wish I could watch matches like this in person. Really motivates me to play more tennis. But also makes me appreciate the skill and heart that goes into being a good tennis player. Great video!👍
Winston, i have been watching your video for a while, first time post comment. you have improved so much. much more consistent forehand and backhand, better serve, smarter choice of shots. good job
Big fan of the elite Jr vs Rec player content. Groundies looking solid and more consistent! Waiting to see you use that big athletic frame to develop a power 1st serve!
Adrian is a stud. That forehand will take him places! Once he hits puberty and fills out, he'll get more pop on that serve and that two hand backhand then watch out...Winston, you won't be at 4.5 much longer...your net game has really improved. Fun channel to watch, keep the vids coming.
Was about to say the same thing. More aggression and took the ball a earlier than before. Definitely better than when he played Rishvant. I felt he let off the gas a little on the first serve though, probably for handicap
That was fun. Adrian is a very smart tough player. He did a great job rallying after being down a couple of games. Winston has improved a lot since some of the last videos I saw. Congrats.
Adrian is a good kid. And a super player. It's not where he'll play HS tennis, but which D1 schools will recruit him. Give him major credit because at 3-6 he was 1 point away from what probably would've been a routine 8-3, 8-4, or 8-5 loss, but kept battling. (Watch out all you 14- and 16-year-olds!) Re: Winston...I think he's a strong 4.5 who could win a 4.5 league or tourney and move up to play 5.0. Everything in his game, (but the serve,) would make him competitive at the 5.0 level. This was super entertaining. Great match. Fun video. Thanks Winston and Adrian!
I thought that Winston played great today! But, the kid is really tough! He was having to hit balls head high and higher. As he said, that was effective! I was most impressed with Adrian's movement side-to-side! He has an extraordinary split-step! He was always so quick to move in the right direction off of it! He's a great person to emulate for that! Another year and Winston won't stand a chance! LOL
Winston, I have been watching your game for years. The improvements you have made recently with the help of Coach Karue have taken your game to a new level. Your serve is improved; your backhand is more consistent (still a bit flatter than I'd recommend for your game style); your sense of court awareness and timing gives you so many more tactical options during the point. If you pardon the armchair coaching, I really believe that a more deliberate split step on the return of serve as your opponent makes contact with the ball will put you in a much more offensive posture that puts your opponents on their heels immediately, especially with as much spin as you impart on the forehand wing. That and maximizing your depth of groundstrokes can easily raise you to 5.0. Keep it up, good sir!
Congrats to both these guys. Great playing. Great sportsmanship. Didn't like the kid when he trash talked at the start, but it turned out that wasn't who he really was. His assessment of the game, at the end, was super insightful, and fair. No excuses. And wow, both of them could hit. I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing, but I got riveted. And, by now, 5 months down the line, I figure Winston couldn't touch him anymore, ever again. Probably 8-3 Adrian by now. By this time next year, 8-0 every time.
That was a highly enjoyable match, great rallies and great winners, thanks and well done to both of you! Adrian has a great forehand and some of the winners he ripped were really impressive and without fear in pressure situations and had me saying "Nice shot kid!"
play more once he gets 13, to me kids at 13 is turning point of age.. the kid that I played, when he was 12, we were neck and neck then after 13, he start to blew me over 6-0 6-0... he end up playing U of Arizona later one. good match! I enjoy watching!
Winston plays more like a 4.5 now than he was thanks to getting those awesome lessons from Karue. Karue is a great coach for sure! Let’s see how far Karue can help Giron go with his professional tennis career.
2:17 Dang, that is really good awareness and placement. Great job Adrian, those kind of shots and techniques are gonna help you go a really long way in this sport. If you can keep your opponent having to make tough judgement calls to spring like that with good speed and placement you'll keep winning those kind of exchanges and points. Keep that moment in your head and your mental image and you'll build that muscle memory. This was an awesome set.
Aidan is insane with SOME of his shot selection. 5:54 was a great example. Maybe the Winston didn't move toward the middle quick enough but that was a great abuse of positioning.
Can’t wait to see how his tennis is once he’s fully grown. As much as I like watching Winston getting dunked on by 5.0+ these competitive matches are more fun to watch imo because you can appreciate Winston’s skill more.
Winston your level went way up since your match agains the D1 player with coach from Tennis HQ coaching you !!! Taking bigger cuts on short balls, playing more offense !!! Great job !! Keep it up
It's really cool to see, the kid has the techniques and all, only lacks the height and muscles, which will come naturally just by growing up. Awesome player, congrats to both of you for the entertaining match!
this is so funny because i just played Adrian in winter Nationals. He is really good but i managed to win in three sets. Ive watched all your videos and then all of a sudden i see someone playing who i saw just last month.
Well, the “Man Factor” def. Took over in the tiebreaker, but overall, Du….your game had improved so much! You are just a few unforced errors away from leveling up even more! Inspiring to see how the practice and determination is paying off!
May want to hold off on that until AFTER than match concludes. He said that and double faulted on very first service point. Of course the two are unrelated but I believe in karma and jinxing onself hahahaha. Good luck delivering a butt whiping.
Winston, I am new to your site, and I am happy to say I like your style. I’ve checked out a few of your videos, and I am learning from them keep up the great work I like the challenges against different style players, in different levels of skill.
The kid did pretty well considering the huge height disadvantage when serving. Winston was able to return from the baseline or even a short step inside the court.
Gotta get a backup battery pack or something. Would love to have seen it go all the way to 8. Well played by both. Definitely good strategy by Winston to be patient and wear Adrian down from the baseline.
Winston, you're really upping your game! Only thing I'd suggest is that if you're gonna run around your backhand to hit a forehand down the same line, you really need to get back to the center of the court instead of praying that it's a winner. Several time, Adrian anticipated the shot, then simply cross-courted into an empty court. Great fun to watch, though.
Great set, and very evenly matched although when Winston came to the net or flattened it out his power showed. My only suggestion for Winston, a few too many run-around forehands caused you to get stuck in the backhand corner. Your backhand is very solid just play a BH neutral ball and recover to the middle. Karue has definitely made an impact, your level is WAY up!. Coach Mark
You've finally found an evenly matched opponent! the problem is Adrian will be playing D1 in 5-6 years. But your progress looks great. Since you like to run around your backhand (which is solid) maybe work on the da-da-da-da-da-da footwork so you don't catch it late. If Karue was there he'd probably say, "Keep the feet moving!"
excellent video. Adrian showcases how important it is to play the %'s and to not over hit while also being a tenacious defender/ backboard; Winston you played well, congrats; But really you had to come up with excellent combos or a great finishing shot to get it by him.
Great high level tennis by both players! Adrian might talk more smack than he should but his talent is undeniable. There are a lot of young phenoms with technique and strength beyond their years but Adrian was even more impressive with his shot tolerance, anticipation, court movement and point development. His tennis IQ is pretty developed for a 12 year old kid. He understands court positioning and he has the tools to control his opponent. When he grows a bit and his serve matches the rest of his game watch out! Get his autograph now!
I enjoyed Adrian's spirit and confidence. He has all the shots and reasonable footwork. Two things I would do with his strengths: Run around his back hand for the higher top spin balls and hit cross court to Winston's back hand. Pin him down for two or three shots then be ready to hit down the line when he has an opening or hit wide and deep crosscourt when Winston tries to hit up the line with his backhand. Also Adrian needs to choose his drop shots a lot more judiciously. Adrian was giving away so many points early on to faulty drop shots. They are only a weapon if timed well.
"Gonna go 8-0 obviously!" "They call me the mailman because i deliver" *loses first game* Was too funny. But great playing. I was rooting for him! That start was hilarious though
#wakeupcall for young Adrian ;-). Keep the passion, but stay humble & show respect to all opponents. Dont be delusional. Results speak loudly. Be like Rafa & Fed......let your Racquet to the talking. On another note, great sportsmanship in the match. Very fair calls, which is EXTREMELY rare in tennis, especially junior tennis. Well done IN THE MATCH👊
this little bro's forehand, Adrian held tough and had endless wheels because he seemed to have to work double or triple the steps. I thought high to the bh out the gate and it worked for the most part but staying away from Adrian's FH was key, he knew when to go for winners and opened angles up.. great match all around, Winston definitely was being patient a lot of looks also impressive.. it would be hard to try to hit this kid off the court and still have enough gas to finish.
congrats Winston on becoming the new top 12 yr old in the nation!
lmfao
lol
LOLOL But hey, great playing seriously
If 12 would have more shots, like drop shot, less spin shots - it would be 8-0. But an all out slug fest -

“I’m not gonna lie, he looks a lot better on camera”. Proceeds to lose five games in a row. Humility, son, humility.
Great set, and very evenly matched although when Winston came to the net or flattened it out his power showed. My only suggestion for Winston, a few too many run-around forehands caused you to get stuck in the backhand corner. Your backhand is very solid just play a BH neutral ball and recover to the middle. Karue has definitely made an impact, your level is WAY up!. Coach Mark
I think Winston needs a harder serve, it’s too easy to return
Thoroughly entertaining!
No offense but i can’t get over the fact that the 12 year old kid sounds like he’s dying whenever he hits the ball😂😂 also really nice and clean match
You've finally found an evenly matched opponent! the problem is Adrian will be playing D1 in 5-6 years. But your progress looks great. Since you like to run around your backhand (which is solid) maybe work on the da-da-da-da-da-da footwork so you don't catch it late. If Karue was there he'd probably say, "Keep the feet moving!"
Adrian was playin some tennis! Way to Represent the Winstons!!!
Great videos you put up Winston, good luck with your channel
excellent video. Adrian showcases how important it is to play the %'s and to not over hit while also being a tenacious defender/ backboard; Winston you played well, congrats; But really you had to come up with excellent combos or a great finishing shot to get it by him.
Great high level tennis by both players! Adrian might talk more smack than he should but his talent is undeniable. There are a lot of young phenoms with technique and strength beyond their years but Adrian was even more impressive with his shot tolerance, anticipation, court movement and point development. His tennis IQ is pretty developed for a 12 year old kid. He understands court positioning and he has the tools to control his opponent. When he grows a bit and his serve matches the rest of his game watch out! Get his autograph now!
I enjoyed Adrian's spirit and confidence. He has all the shots and reasonable footwork. Two things I would do with his strengths: Run around his back hand for the higher top spin balls and hit cross court to Winston's back hand. Pin him down for two or three shots then be ready to hit down the line when he has an opening or hit wide and deep crosscourt when Winston tries to hit up the line with his backhand. Also Adrian needs to choose his drop shots a lot more judiciously. Adrian was giving away so many points early on to faulty drop shots. They are only a weapon if timed well.
Shouldn’t grunt
Is this match after the Karue coaching lessons? I see big improvements in your game overall
Holy.. You've just found your perfect partner. At least until he's 13. Them he will crush you. But great match. 👏👏
Adrian is amazing!! So many clean shots.
“He looks better on camera” 😂😂😂 dang man this kid is funny as hell
"Gonna go 8-0 obviously!"
"They call me the mailman because i deliver"
*loses first game*
Was too funny. But great playing. I was rooting for him! That start was hilarious though
Well done Adrian! Love that attacking forehand💪 Great video again Winston , your game has improved 👍
#wakeupcall for young Adrian ;-). Keep the passion, but stay humble & show respect to all opponents. Dont be delusional. Results speak loudly. Be like Rafa & Fed......let your Racquet to the talking. On another note, great sportsmanship in the match. Very fair calls, which is EXTREMELY rare in tennis, especially junior tennis. Well done IN THE MATCH👊
this little bro's forehand, Adrian held tough and had endless wheels because he seemed to have to work double or triple the steps. I thought high to the bh out the gate and it worked for the most part but staying away from Adrian's FH was key, he knew when to go for winners and opened angles up.. great match all around, Winston definitely was being patient a lot of looks also impressive.. it would be hard to try to hit this kid off the court and still have enough gas to finish.
yea Winston seems more like a 5.0 tbh
love the kid’s confidence for his age
hope it takes him far
Yo Winston - your game has leveled up. Good job bro
The moment he talked crap up 3-1 was the moment he lost control. Learning moment for him hopefully.
