Can I Beat Ex ATP 202?! Mic’d Up Match (#3)

Can I Beat Ex ATP 202?! Mic’d Up Match (#3)
I’ve started a new series of videos where I play matches against a range of players and coaches whilst both wearing microphones.
As well as being a fun way for me to make you videos, it’s going to mean that I can actually start playing more tennis and hopefully share some useful insights with you.
This third one is against former ATP 202, Laurent Rochette. During the video we also chat about his life on the pro tour. Let me know what you think of this format?
You can find all of Laurent’s videos and podcasts here…

Really some solid insight there on what it feels like to play high level guys. It can be applied at various levels.

[@southwestcoyoteproductions1479]

The racquet tension definitely interested me the most! Maybe I'll have to give it a shot.

[@davidgibert281]

Nice vidéo and great win 💪

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing it" 😂
Be a good future vid to go over what those awkward balls are he mentioned ATP players play 👍

[@TheTennisMentor]

Nice suggestion Harry!

[@Kailan19]

Awesome video, fantastic format. Very keen to see more vids like this, thanks Ashley!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Glad you enjoyed it! More to come 😁

[@my10is]

love the fun in this... exactly what tennis should be about

[@TheTennisMentor]

Absolutely!!

[@Back2Zack]

Awesome play!
I’m excited to try my crosses 4 lbs or so under my mains. I have heard this can feel really good. Maybe I’ll do 48/44lb

[@Mrmelody85]

Really enjoyed this, Laurent seems like a great guy! Will check out his TH-cam channel and the podcast.

[@TheTennisMentor]

He has some great insights, had the best time talking tennis with him for two days!

[@Javi_C]

What a fun match, thanks for sharing Ashley!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Was fun to play, not sure it would’ve been so fun if he was fit!! 😅

I love this vidéo, huge game ❤

[@itsWillumz]

Excellent video - Laurent seems like a top bloke

[@mtns7036]

Very good guys.

[@grantdelmege2724]

Impressive stuff Ashley! To get a win against a former pro even if they are injured is very impressive.
Would love to see you play a proper set against him some time👍
You have a pretty big serve Ashley. How fast do you think you can serve?

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Grant, the only hope I’d have of winning a game or two is getting him off the clay… maybe we should play on grass next time!
Had my serve measured recently and I was hitting 118mph (which I was happy with 😁)

[@grantdelmege2724]

@@TheTennisMentor 118mph is getting into pro territory so pretty impressive!
What sort of level are you playing at if you play well?

[@LukeDesmond-iq4wb]

Another great video like usual. How long did u stay at Monte Carlo for,are you going to make a video abt it?

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Luke. I stayed for two days! I wasn’t planning to make a vlog, I made one last year so didn’t think it would be of value to you all! Do you like the vlog format? Maybe I’ll consider it for other tournaments later this year!

[@aj4819]

Laurent seemed great, loved the insight as well as the cursing after the drop shots 😂

[@TheTennisMentor]

He’s a great guy, worth following on his English insta (or if you know French his main one)

[@aj4819]

@@TheTennisMentor Will do that! Great content mate 👍

[@Tennisnerd]

Nice format and good hitting despite one leg!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Jonas, I would’ve been eating 🥯 if he had two…

[@Phoeagdor]

Under 50 tension, very interesting, great fun

[@user-ru9pl3bx2s]

Really want to see a Radical Head Pro/Mp/Team Review
PS Awesome vid and match

[@TheTennisMentor]

I’ll probably review the new Radical when it comes out 🎾

[@spetnaztennis]

"oh là là je sers comme une b*te" no bip this time 😆

[@TheTennisMentor]

Left it in to give the French a laugh! 😆

[@sauloeduk]

The biggest problem is that I have no idea how much pounds my strings have. For example I usually string both my rackets at 53, but it usually takes 1,5 month to break my strings (maybe because they are thicker, 1.27 gauge). So, at the time I take my racket to play it is already strung like 45 days ago, so the tension could be lower, like 52? 51.5?

[@HarunFarah]

shouldnt be playing with this type of injury , drop shots were brutal

[@TheTennisMentor]

Shocking behaviour from me!!

[@jeffcohntennis]

Next time you're in Miami let's hit!

[@originalbowwow]

How tall is that guy on the side watching or you guys just short 😂

[@TheTennisMentor]

A bit of both 😆

[@criktun3346]

His calves have 2 calves lol, great guy

😂 he’s a great guy!
