No it's not. Point play is not same as actual set play. Problem with Felix in most of his matches he has lost , most games are 30-30 but he has never been able to convert them into games against player ranked higher than him. But hats off for all the effort he puts in.
And there you have it. Finally you play singles like you play doubles. It's time to release the beast Felix. Start smashing those forehands like the ball owes you money. Great work.
Felix's marketing has to be studied. Fans in the comments don't know tennis.. Every guy in the Top 2000 can play points in practice with Top 100 players. Djokovic plays practice points with unranked players. College players. Felix will go to lose Futures Qualies and it has no thing to do with confidence. Learn tennis before commenting these things.
@@Dfblack2008 I'm offering a reality check. I offered advice in the past. His fans got defensive so I chose not to anymore. I gave exact tips on what he did wrong on the backhand. More than 1 time. He chose to ignore it and only answer the ones glazing him. Pick on me or pick on the TH-cam creator that only answers, likes and pins comments that help him retain fans which generate him money. He is selling you a fake dream.
@@DATennis Yeah it may be a dream and yeah he may not get past a certain level in his career but he's living his dream. He can work to fix certain things in his game other things he might ignore or not focus on but again it's his life and he's living his dream. Some way you are probably living yours. What exactly do you find so upsetting about that?
@@DATennis While it is true, that the top 2000 players can all hang in there with top 20 players for a few points, it is not true, that they can be competitive in matches. This was an exceptional performance from Felix and should be recognised as such. To climb the rankings, you have to have four main attributes power, consistency, athleticism and mental strength. Repeatedly in videos Felix has demonstrated power and athleticism advantage over his opponents. However his consistency has been not where it should be. In this video, he recognises it and speaks about it at the end i.e. he should go for it and use his advantages. Like his attitude in doubles, he just needs to go for it. Perhaps with this positive experience his mental strength will improve where he finally trusts the other parts of his game to the point, that he can play at this level regularly. I do not think that it is unreasonable to say that he can reach his goal of the top 1000, or even higher. Finally I strongly dispute your statement "it has nothing to do with confidence". I personally have played 3 sports at a high level (even state and internaitionally). Confidence (mental strength) is absolutely a game changer at the highest level. For someone who admonishes others not to comment if they do not know tennis, you must have missed a whole lot of players in interviews saying "they felt tight" at clutch moments. This is where confidence becomes the fourth attribute that is so EXCEPTIONALLY critical, particularly in head to head sports. You can't rely on your team, it's you that has to pull through. I don't know how far Felix's journey will go. I can easily imagine him getting deeper into M15 and M25 events and accumulating a few points. You need about 12 ATP to make the top 1000. I think that's definitely possible and whatever else happens in his career, earning any ATP points is a great achievement in itself.
Practice or not, it’s best level we’ve ever seen you play by far. At that level, against a player of that calibre, the biggest risk is not taking any risk at all. And when the confidence is there, we all know what you’re capable of. Great video too, exciting to see - incredible stuff! 💪
From an italian fan who follow your journey from the beginning, i might say this is the best video you produced so far. Musetti is so talented and stylish and you performed very well, congrats
Come on man, Lorenzo's inside out backhand is a weapon. He was only pushing instead of swinging, to the middle. Stop giving this kid false confidence, he needs to be able to finish those easy balls way better.
@@nyali2pff, have you ever seen pros play, I do every year at my local challenger in Cordenons, even spoke with Markus Willis this year, seen Alcaraz, Musetti, Robredo live etc, it’s not that Lorenzo wasn’t trying for fuck’s sake, when he trains he fully tries, what’s the point otherwise… here he was playing for real
@@theFedHD Lorenzo was running around the ball opening up inside out to the forehand and decided to loop it back to the T. Come on even an amateur should have picked that up. Lorenzo was around 40-50% serious.
@@nyali2no one here gave "the kid" false confidence, but if you think you can do better than him just stop talking and go challange your favorite top20. I don't know Felix, first time I see one of his video, and he said he feels he was playing his best tennis, then that's what matters and I'm happy for him to have had this opportunity and taken the most out of it. Our opinions simply doesn't matter
@@simonebattaglin7595 You are getting it wrong. He is on a journey to become a professional. I am not. If you want to be delusional about Lorenzo's effort here, so be it. Obviously he is hitting well, the question is how far away is he from top 100 or even 1000? He needs a good coach. Karue Sell could teach him tactics, he has a great eye for the game. I regularly hit with a former top 200 and this is exactly what he is doing to me. Feeding the ball to the T and still winning. I can see what Lorenzo is doing from a mile.
Thats the problem with tennis. There are hundreds of players who have great technique and can slap the ball where they please. The real difference is all in the head and how they handle the big points.
They were miles apart. Lorenzo was giving him high looped returns to attack. He was pushing the backhand and forehand, was deliberately not hitting angels even when he ran around the ball to open up inside out. This was Lorenzo at 30-40%.
my respect for your level of tennis just skyrocketed. Today i saw Musetti play at that exact event in Frankfurt. I never realised that you play so well, that you can hold your own against these tennis monsters. The videos really don't show the hole picture. respect and keep it up 👍
The shot at 15:20 has to be one of the most insane returns ever. I think you surprised Lorenzo by pulling off those hyper aggressive shots once in a while. You're bound to rise in the ranks, Felix, there's no doubt in my mind!!
so cool to see you play with him, he has been my favorite player since 2020 when he emerged in the challenger circuit. Loved the video and keep up the great work!
Now THIS is a confidence booster. Felix, I think you know what could be looming in the future. Ride this wave and continue to play with confidence. Never forget what you are capable of. It's time.
What do you mean? No shade on Felix but Musetti is 10x the player. It's not like Felix is out there winning pro tournaments and for some unknown reason his ranking doesn't match... this is just a quick game in an exhibition format.
That's what happens when you have THE level but do not know it yet! You have to put yourself in situations that allow your level to shine and improve. Having watch dozens of your videos and I have never seen you played like this.
Bro.. eff the comments section if they are hatin. That was work class ball striking from you. Best I've seen on your channel. You obviously saw where you fitness was exposed and that impacts so much. Keep training. Keep getting stronger. Keep smiling and keep fighting.
Incredible, I can't even imagine the excitement. I'm so hiped for your rise, every new conquest is thrilling. I like to think I'm on a journey alongside you, and this helps a lot with my tennis performances
I know Lorenzo since I was 14 y/o. He worked hard to reach the level he is now and is continuing to work hard. The level it is not done by half hour of training where even a non pro player that have talent as you can play at the quite same level… the problem is when you have to do it for three hours and for 6 day per week….. all the year long….Continuity at the highest level is the key. Lorenzo is first of all a great athlete. This is the first. Then to continuity start from his mindset ( since he was junior he always was a nr 1 of his age in the tour and he is mentalized for that even if he loose some match) . Improve every day, work a lot and never give up. Tennis is very difficult for that. You have the shoots, you have the athleticism . But at the end of a training of one hour you were out of stamina. This is not possible in pro tennis level. This is the first step you have to do to play at THAT level…. Now you can play at futures level expecially on hard court. But to achieve a real next level you have to do a great step in athlete conditioning. Prove yourself that you can go there with mentality and continuity !
Felix, I am Björn, mid aged hobby player from Germany and I follow you for some time. Great performance, I love that, also your passion for the game and your hard work. Keep going, we will see much more from you 💪🎾
Felix you're definitely ready to take your tennis game to the next level, mate! You're ready to compete with the best out there! 💪🎾 Keep pushing, and btw, I love your content! 🙌
Felix, this is incredible- keep going, even being able to hold your own in a practice session is massive. Would love to see a proper set between you two and im sure it would be a real good yard stick for you too. Playing aggressive seems to be the way to go for you, definitely stick to it!
Felix, you have to come foreword way more often. Your strikes were amazing and Lorenzo was with his back to the net or you see him struggling to get to the ball and you’re just waiting at the base line for the ball to come back. It’s not only nice to volley a winner, but it will safe you some energy. Keep up the good work!
This has GOT to give you a lot of confidence. Your athleticism, talent, technique and skill are world class. Stay aggressive always and the sky's the limit! Well done, and your humility is really great but know you belong at the top and you'll get there.
Like a lot of people said, your level in this video is amazing. It's great to see you play at this level and those ATP Points will come, the talent and the passion is there so just give it time and keep working hard. Good luck on your next tournament!!
I have been following you for a year and a half now, and I am amazed to see how you have raised your level. The only thing that made you different from the Musetti in this match is fitness, and you know it as well. I am a badminton player myself and can understand your feelings after a long point. :D Work more on your fitness, brother, and I can bet you will be a top 250 player in a couple of years.
Felix!! Congrats on this victory. While you may not have won the match, what a victory in finding this level against a top player. He brought out the best in you, and you let it out. Hope you can build on this as a confidence booster. Congrats man so cool to see
Great video, mate! Can't believe you went toe to toe with Lorenzo Musetti. I fully expected him to be untouchable, but he wasn't. Upi really gave him a run for his money! This should be a huge confidence boost for you and your singles. Keep up the good work! All the best 💛
This is a major sign that belief and courage is all you need to unlock your potential my friend, I was astonished watching this level from you. Go and get it champ
Just need to find the motivation to perform like that when you're playing world number 1567 in tunisia with zero crowd and a sleepy umpire and you'll be on the challenger tour in no time man.
Great video. Musetti had really to work hard to overcome you. You also played some exceptional shots during the match. This can give you the confidence of being able to progress significantly in the ATP ranking in the next years. Best wishes!
I watched your videos even before i personally started my tennis journey. Now I'm training myself and your videos keep me motivated. I really enjoy being here and seeing you grow so keep up with your work and I'm sure great things are waiting for you.
And this shows so well, that it is only a mind game for you, Felix. You came into that game thinking:"Oh, #18...I will lose for sure", therefore you had fun and tried to just play nice tennis, seeing how well you could do against home, no pressure. But playing against someone how is slightly higher ranked as you, you start losing your cool and feel intimidated. We just witnessed: you are on par with Lorenzo! So work on your mind-game and the ATP points will come in no time! Best of luck!
Wow. I'm very proud of you Felix, to see that you can go head-to-head with a pro that has played with Djokovic and other great pros proves that you have what it takes to play at that level too. Keep getting better and soon we'll be watching you win a Grand Slam, keep at it brother God bless. (Hopefully we can play each other in that tournament too).
Holy moly! Absolutely insane level Felix! By far the best I've ever seen you play! Some absolutely crazy shots and you were ripping several forehands like a top player for sure! Wow! Mad respect! I just think you found the key to unlock your true potential! Just keep at it and very good things will happen very soon! Let's gooooo! 👊😎
The match between you and Musetti was filled with intense rallies that highlighted both players' incredible skills. You played with all your heart, demonstrating your talent and determination to compete with the best, reinforcing your potential as a future sports star. Your precise shots and powerful returns were pivotal in the match. This match reminded me of the exciting journey still ahead of you as you rise in the professional tennis rankings. You’re insane,Felix!Hope you the best🎉
Great job Felix! It must've been incredible for you to play against him! I play on the Junior ITF circuit right now, and i'm incredibly jealous of the opportunity you got!
Wooowww unbelievable what you did, the level you have been playing it’s amazing…keep going mate..I believe you can reach your dreams …who play tennis knows and understand even if what’s practical…it’s hard ..congrats
I've been minorly critical of certain aspects of your game in the past but now you are no longer that same player from a couple years ago. No reason why you shouldn't reach top 100 now. Your consistency and shot selection overall is just so much better than it used to be. Keep it going!!!
This is the kind of points that you have to play, with the extra motivation I think that you were more decisive than ever, having the mentality you had here I know you are making it to the top. Keep on the good work and lets get some ATP points ;)
I´ve followed your journey now for quite a while, and you´ve definitely made a hugeee step forward. Being able to play like this against Musetti, even in a practise session, is absolutely big. Keep up the good work Felix!
This has to be one of your top videos of all time if not, no.1. You were near matching it with Lorenzo and demonstrated your level. Would have loved to have just witnessed Musetti's backhand let alone rally. While Stan and Dominic have power and Gasquet is like a always reliable magical wand, Lorenzo backhand is flamboyant and quite flawless.
I stumbled upon your channel, and I must say, your tennis skills and the videos are fantastic! My 8-year-old son is working hard to improve his tennis, and he was heartbroken last weekend when he couldn’t get any autographs from the ATP players at the Antwerp European Open, which we attended as a birthday present. A signed ball from Lorenzo would be a priceless memory and a huge inspiration for him!
This is the best tennis I've seen you play Felix. Your defense has always been excellent, but you are starting to impose your will more on offense. That is the key for you breaking through.
Wow, you played amazingly! Despite Musetti not playing his best tennis, you played some amazing points and produced some crazy shots! Keep it up and I'm sure you'll make it to the top 1000 soon enough 😊
What strikes me is the consistency of the top players. Felix played incredible winners but on another day they are hitting the net or going long. Lorenzo just grinds you down and doesn't miss. Tennis isn't about the big shots, its just keep getting it back. Having said that well played Felix, awesome today.
Great stuff! this is an insane level, even for a practice, and you played so hard. congrats! you have a lot potential to unlock. Musetti handskills it's crazy (and his fitness level too). c'mon
Felix your game is really up to the level of Lorenzo, even better most of the time. Keep up! By the way I think Lorenzo"s crazy forehand going around the net was out
I've been watching you since the beginning of the "Road to ATP point" adventure and I'm impressed by the progress you've made... wow !!! I wish you good luck in the future and more training and matches like this one :)
W video. Crazy how playing against someone as good as Lorenzo can make you play so much better than against the average 2000 ranked player you usually have to face off against. Hope this match helps you get in the groove and start winning more of these first round matches so that you can finally get to your deserved ranking 😊
For me its absolutely normal to see you winning "championship tie breaks" vs museti, not only because you are a very good player Felix, but also you are training with no pressure of winning because he is top 20 ATP. He is just practicing and training for the official matches. Still, very impressive Felix! I love your forehand and your Serve!
Honestly Felix. First of all great video thanks for the upload. Secondly, you played like top 200 atp here. Potential is so there keep going at it beast !!
Felix, what an incredible opportunity! Just shows that you can play at a very high level. Your challenge now is to bring that level consistently to your futures tennis and play aggresive and fearless tennis. If you can do this, your ranking will shoot up👊👊👊
Felix you’re an absolute baller, you’re not far from that level, keep the consistency and the good work, we all see something good in the way you play.
I've been trained by Lorenzo current coach in the past. Simone Tartarini was the best coach I ever had. How nice to see a video with their team. Quality from both!
I agree with you. that's the best game that you have played in these videos. It shows clearly that you can raise your game to this level. Barely any errors. Bravo
Felix, you have the level. You need to keep going and execute like this when you play on tour, even if you miss because eventually you will make the shots when they matter. Keep up the good work!
You’ve been playing so well recently, this shows your level has picked up massively, hopefully you can pick up some more points throughout the rest of the year
Love ur videos. Can't imagine how good the players are in top 10 when you're hitting those balls in top 1000. Obviously credits to Lorenzo, love him too. Good luck for everything brother. =)
Your FH is lit!! Huge weapon! Plus, movement has the potential to be outstanding, which is arguably the most important thing in today's tennis.. Keep it up, man 🎉
Felix, you are nuts… Crazy tennis and honestly I think we can all agree the best tennis you’ve ever played… If you can transition this into the futures tournaments, there will be a lot of titles to come… Very happy and proud of your improvement Keep going💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Felix, incredible how your level is so close to Lorenzo’s. All your missing is in your head. Crazy how close you are to playing Grand Slams. Keep grinding brother.
Your level here makes you look like a top 500 player. Your potential is there, it just needs to be unlocked
I'd take a 0 out of that 500
Bro sounds like a Pokémon trainer
food poisoning was the key, we all saw that 😂😂😂😂😂

genetics is what is separating players above and below the top 200
@@PizzaPartifyis he is from italy?
And it was a flaw for Musetti some years ago. I guess he worked so hard on that.
Great video, mate! Can't believe you went toe to toe with Lorenzo Musetti. I fully expected him to be untouchable, but he wasn't. Upi really gave him a run for his money! This should be a huge confidence boost for you and your singles. Keep up the good work! All the best 💛
Felix we love you keep it going 💪
This is a major sign that belief and courage is all you need to unlock your potential my friend, I was astonished watching this level from you. Go and get it champ
Just need to find the motivation to perform like that when you're playing world number 1567 in tunisia with zero crowd and a sleepy umpire and you'll be on the challenger tour in no time man.
Great video. Musetti had really to work hard to overcome you. You also played some exceptional shots during the match. This can give you the confidence of being able to progress significantly in the ATP ranking in the next years. Best wishes!
Must be cool to play a top 20 player. Hope to see you in the top 100 soon 🤞
I watched your videos even before i personally started my tennis journey. Now I'm training myself and your videos keep me motivated. I really enjoy being here and seeing you grow so keep up with your work and I'm sure great things are waiting for you.
Felix LOVE the content great play hope to see you soon playing with these guys
There's no way you should be rank 2000 in the world when you're playing this well! You have the potential to easily be a top 500 player. You got this!
keep playing Dude👌🏼
And this shows so well, that it is only a mind game for you, Felix. You came into that game thinking:"Oh, #18...I will lose for sure", therefore you had fun and tried to just play nice tennis, seeing how well you could do against home, no pressure.
But playing against someone how is slightly higher ranked as you, you start losing your cool and feel intimidated.
We just witnessed: you are on par with Lorenzo!
So work on your mind-game and the ATP points will come in no time!
Best of luck!
13:14 what a great point 🎉😮
Wow. I'm very proud of you Felix, to see that you can go head-to-head with a pro that has played with Djokovic and other great pros proves that you have what it takes to play at that level too. Keep getting better and soon we'll be watching you win a Grand Slam, keep at it brother God bless. (Hopefully we can play each other in that tournament too).
haha cant believe you played that point around 8:00 with a broken string 😂 machine man!!!
i don’t know either
Holy moly! Absolutely insane level Felix! By far the best I've ever seen you play! Some absolutely crazy shots and you were ripping several forehands like a top player for sure! Wow! Mad respect!
I just think you found the key to unlock your true potential! Just keep at it and very good things will happen very soon! Let's gooooo! 👊😎
You did WHAT!?
I know
The match between you and Musetti was filled with intense rallies that highlighted both players' incredible skills. You played with all your heart,
demonstrating your talent and determination to compete with the best, reinforcing your potential as a future sports star. Your precise shots and powerful returns were pivotal in the match. This match reminded me of the exciting journey still ahead of you as you rise in the professional tennis rankings.
You’re insane,Felix!Hope you the best🎉
Great job Felix! It must've been incredible for you to play against him! I play on the Junior ITF circuit right now, and i'm incredibly jealous of the opportunity you got!
Wooowww unbelievable what you did, the level you have been playing it’s amazing…keep going mate..I believe you can reach your dreams …who play tennis knows and understand even if what’s practical…it’s hard ..congrats
wow, what a great match. You played like a ATP pro in the top 100 !!! Keep on and best of luck to you !!!
I've been minorly critical of certain aspects of your game in the past but now you are no longer that same player from a couple years ago. No reason why you shouldn't reach top 100 now. Your consistency and shot selection overall is just so much better than it used to be. Keep it going!!!
I've been watching your videos for a year, I am proud of your journey and I am elated to be part of it as a viewer! Keep going Felix!
This is the kind of points that you have to play, with the extra motivation I think that you were more decisive than ever, having the mentality you had here I know you are making it to the top. Keep on the good work and lets get some ATP points ;)
I´ve followed your journey now for quite a while, and you´ve definitely made a hugeee step forward. Being able to play like this against Musetti, even in a practise session, is absolutely big. Keep up the good work Felix!
This has to be one of your top videos of all time if not, no.1. You were near matching it with Lorenzo and demonstrated your level.
Would have loved to have just witnessed Musetti's backhand let alone rally. While Stan and Dominic have power and Gasquet is like a always reliable magical wand, Lorenzo backhand is flamboyant and quite flawless.
Man, I love this. Much love from Melbourne!! Keep super fit and you'll be going places for sure!
Man, you held your own and then some more. Awesome play, Felix. I am praying for you.
I stumbled upon your channel, and I must say, your tennis skills and the videos are fantastic! My 8-year-old son is working hard to improve his tennis, and he was heartbroken last weekend when he couldn’t get any autographs from the ATP players at the Antwerp European Open, which we attended as a birthday present. A signed ball from Lorenzo would be a priceless memory and a huge inspiration for him!
This is the best tennis I've seen you play Felix. Your defense has always been excellent, but you are starting to impose your will more on offense. That is the key for you breaking through.
Wow, you played amazingly! Despite Musetti not playing his best tennis, you played some amazing points and produced some crazy shots!
Keep it up and I'm sure you'll make it to the top 1000 soon enough 😊
What strikes me is the consistency of the top players. Felix played incredible winners but on another day they are hitting the net or going long. Lorenzo just grinds you down and doesn't miss. Tennis isn't about the big shots, its just keep getting it back. Having said that well played Felix, awesome today.
Great stuff! this is an insane level, even for a practice, and you played so hard. congrats! you have a lot potential to unlock. Musetti handskills it's crazy (and his fitness level too). c'mon
Felix your game is really up to the level of Lorenzo, even better most of the time. Keep up! By the way I think Lorenzo"s crazy forehand going around the net was out
Wow! This was Intense. Great match and video!
This was epic, keep up the amazing work Felix! 💪
I've been watching you since the beginning of the "Road to ATP point" adventure and I'm impressed by the progress you've made... wow !!!
I wish you good luck in the future and more training and matches like this one :)
Actually crazy how well u are able to keep up with him! Rlly inspiring 🎾
absolutely nuts bro!! been following your journey for a while now, you can see for yourself your potential!
W video. Crazy how playing against someone as good as Lorenzo can make you play so much better than against the average 2000 ranked player you usually have to face off against. Hope this match helps you get in the groove and start winning more of these first round matches so that you can finally get to your deserved ranking 😊
For me its absolutely normal to see you winning "championship tie breaks" vs museti, not only because you are a very good player Felix, but also you are training with no pressure of winning because he is top 20 ATP. He is just practicing and training for the official matches. Still, very impressive Felix! I love your forehand and your Serve!
Honestly Felix.
First of all great video thanks for the upload.
Secondly, you played like top 200 atp here.
Potential is so there keep going at it beast !!
Been following ur journey since start, follow ur dream and keep up the hard work bro.. Ur soon Will be in The ATP meeting Lorenzo urself❤
Great experience, thank you for share it, young master. Love Musetti!!!
Felix, what an incredible opportunity! Just shows that you can play at a very high level. Your challenge now is to bring that level consistently to your futures tennis and play aggresive and fearless tennis.
If you can do this, your ranking will shoot up👊👊👊
Amazing tennis, both of you. Felix - you're in great shape but I was shocked at how much sheer endurance Musetti has. Keep it up!
Huge congrats Felix. Awesome experience!
Felix you’re an absolute baller, you’re not far from that level, keep the consistency and the good work, we all see something good in the way you play.
Genuinely so impressive. Just goes to show how you can play up or down to someone's level, hope to see more of this
I've been trained by Lorenzo current coach in the past. Simone Tartarini was the best coach I ever had. How nice to see a video with their team. Quality from both!
something about musetti’s form looks so aesthetic and satisfying 🤩🤩
I agree with you. that's the best game that you have played in these videos. It shows clearly that you can raise your game to this level. Barely any errors. Bravo
Felix, you have the level. You need to keep going and execute like this when you play on tour, even if you miss because eventually you will make the shots when they matter. Keep up the good work!
Let's go Felix, wishing you the best in the future with your journey!
Felix I feel like you really raise your level against top players. I can feel a breakthrough coming your way soon. Keep believing in your dreams!
Felix, you definitely have the level mate. So proud of you. Lets goo. 🇧🇷
You’ve been playing so well recently, this shows your level has picked up massively, hopefully you can pick up some more points throughout the rest of the year
Love ur videos. Can't imagine how good the players are in top 10 when you're hitting those balls in top 1000. Obviously credits to Lorenzo, love him too. Good luck for everything brother. =)
Your FH is lit!! Huge weapon! Plus, movement has the potential to be outstanding, which is arguably the most important thing in today's tennis.. Keep it up, man 🎉
That was super impressive Felix, been following you for a while. Great court positioning and driving the forehand return! Keep it up
Musetti such a nice human beign, taking the time to chat like that. All the best for him in the future! Nice to watch!
Felix, you are nuts…
Crazy tennis and honestly I think we can all agree the best tennis you’ve ever played…
If you can transition this into the futures tournaments, there will be a lot of titles to come…
Very happy and proud of your improvement
Keep going💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Well played! Been following your journey and it's great to see you rubbing shoulders with some of the top players in the world. Keep it up!
Felix, incredible how your level is so close to Lorenzo’s. All your missing is in your head. Crazy how close you are to playing Grand Slams. Keep grinding brother.
