Felix, I was honestly shocked when I started watching this video. I thought I was watching a completely different player, with you CRUSHING forehands and serves. Your game has taken a huge forward leap, and I can’t wait to watch it improve any more. LETS GO FELIX!
The improvements are showing, especially after an injury, it's so nice to see. Some missed volleys at crucial moments though... Funny to see it's the opposite strength for his fellow TH-camr Jules Marie, who lacks baseline power but excels at the net. Hopefully you guys will meet one day at an ITF 40 or 60... or even a Challenger !
Felix loving your court positioning recently. You are playing aggressive on top of the ball and not giving up ground on your footwork. Rooting for you man!
Congratulations Felix. I'm impressed with the maturity of your thought processes throughout the game. It's important to know when you're being overconfident and when the other player is on a roll and has to be stopped. Good work for such a young fellow. On the technical side I noticed two things in this video. Firstly, particularly in the first set, you were hitting much better angles than last year. Making the opponent move. Compliments to Ashley for getting that sorted out. Secondly, you have a weakness when you run more than four steps. For ordinary shots, where you have to move around the ball one or two steps you've got a success rate of over 90%. For shots where you have to move four or five steps (side to side) then you're down to around 50%. You have to work on your consistency there. Coming forward you're ok, good pace, good control. But side to side, that's a flaw. Good luck on your journey.
Loved how your shots were looking in the first set. Strokes looked confident and your depth seemed to be much better than I've seen from you during matches. Congrats on the win!
I see the progress of the last year mate. It is really insightful what your thoughts and recap is of your matches. I am in my last leg of becoming tenniscoach myself and find it so inspirational how you and Ashley think about tennis and bring it down to earth. Good match and keep up. The best is yet to come and keep focussed on the right intention when hitting the ball.
Just when you won this match, I lost first round in a grade 3 (and I was seeded 1) But anyways, really well played! The forehand was a WEAPON, and I loved your serves and returns when under pressure. Amazing win Felix, you will get that ATP POINT
Great match,i would say one thing ive noticed is the lack of an extra step on the backhand return, you often get caught too upright and the ball will curve into your body which results in a lot of shank returns. So basically after the split step, you cross your feet at usual but then there is no additional shuffle back or forwards depending on the serve speed and depth. I feel it was exposed especially today because the other guy seemed to have a lot of action on his 2nd.
felix you have inspired me to do the some of the same calming techniques before my matches and it has greatly improved my confidence and attitude on the court! Keep up the great work!
Correct me if I'm wrong but you called the ball out at 9:03 but as far as I can see it's good ;D I know it's hard to call the ball without linesmen, I just think it's interesting to watch back :) Not that the ball had anything to say about the outcome of the match, solid stuff man!
Congrats Felix ❤🎉 You 100% deserve this win and many more! Also you are starting to look stronger than the other players. Keep going and I’m sure you’ll start competing with the best of them!! Felicidades!!🎉
The most amazing thing I like about this series is that i am also goint along with it i started playing tournaments in my county when you started the series last year and i also started with my first tournament i faced losses but it was important to keep improving now i got 1 runner up in U14 Singles and Doubles U12 Runner up.this year i just played 1 tournament till now due to injury but i won the first match in it and it was a close match in the next
Congrats on the win. I think you need to change your mindset slightly when it comes to the "inevitable dip in play." A dip in play is not inevitable, you have to have the mentality to "step on your opponents throat and not let him come up for air."
Loving the transition into your aggressive game. About time you went for the shots rather than playing conservative and back down the middle. All apart of the process. Your doing amazing!
That ball was very in. When you watch pro matches, you see the video review and how out it can look and still be in. Thats why if its close, it’s good. Thats how most players are being taught now
from one year ago, you have really progressed, i think if you continue to stay injury free and work hard, you can make it. your technique on serve looks flawless.
Congratulations! Excellent win. It looks like a routine score but the 2nd set was anything but routine! As so often in tennis, just a couple of points in it. I admire how you're looking to enjoy the journey, regardless of where it ends up. I think that's the best approach you can take in any case. The more that you're looking to enjoy the competition and hit the ball well, the more likely it is that the off court work will result in good shots under pressure, of which you made quite a few today.
Felix on most of your approach shots, you tend to go for the backhand. You should mix it up going to the forehand. On your first match point, he read it perfectly. Food for thought
Nice out call at 5:330:30 where the ball was clearly in as you can see in slow motion :DDDD good spirit, you should work on your left arm hanging down when you hit your forehand
That backhand volley miss on match point is super devastating, which I personally did many times :(, it is so bad that it get stuck in your head. But hats off to you, you shook everything off and concentrated on the coming points, well done Allez Felix
Hey Felix, I love your videos and I am pleased to see you that you're back on court. You played well on this match and I actually love this camera angle.
Like the overall scorebug design this video! Only thing is I would change is the caps consistency with the names (either both be all caps or title caps) Also lol just saw this court is named after Tsitsipas haha
Greetings from New Orleans La. Magnificent Felix!! What a super way to start the year! Keep that momentum going. I got a big kick out of those chickens and roosters in the back ground. Lol
That last game was good, but I think you should try to place that attacking ball more in the corners. Like almost all the attackballs were in the middle.
I mean sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. What comes around goes around, sometimes people steal a point or two, so you may steal one back on a really close call.
Damn, both guys getting caught in 4k on bad line calls. Goes full circle I guess. Good reactions on both sides to the calls. I would've went ballistic.
Great video and well done on the win. Worrying to see a player that young having to ice that elbow after just 1 match. Hopefully is from having a long time off and the operation worked. Best of luck 🤞🏻
Some comments about close calls...it's not fair to say Felix is cheating. Camera angle is not great on those baseline shots so please don't be too hard as this may put extra pressure on Felix and he is making a huge effort to achieve his goal! Great first win Felix let's go!
At 9.05 first set 5-3 30-30 and your opponents backhand hits the line it is called as out.. just saying not on purpose of course but a significant call there
Well done mate - can see the progress from last season, backhand looks much better. On your dip post set 1, just need to be aware of human tendency to get complacent post success and to adjust by mentally staying sharp (I work in finance and there it's a well documented phenomenon of getting lax after period of successful trading i.e. worst performance usually follows best performance!). Good luck for the rest of the season :)
I really appreciate how you didn't add music in the actual match, it's nice to just hear the sounds of tennis and commentary. Nice win!
Felix, I was honestly shocked when I started watching this video. I thought I was watching a completely different player, with you CRUSHING forehands and serves. Your game has taken a huge forward leap, and I can’t wait to watch it improve any more. LETS GO FELIX!

how many comments of these are we going to see until we actually see good results
Felix loving your court positioning recently. You are playing aggressive on top of the ball and not giving up ground on your footwork. Rooting for you man!
5:3 30:30 Looks like it’s on the line ;)
😅😅 i think so! was very close...difficult to say but is part of the game! Go Felix GO!!

i can see much of improvement from last year. now you have consistency and the depth of the ball. keep going mate

The jump up in decision making and shot selection is amazing. Proud of how far your mental game has come!
appreciate it
Well done Felix! Glad to see you back out and rolling!! Big up fam.
appreciate it :)
Great win, but this call at 9:02 was outrageous.
Hahaha commented the same, was before the line even. On 30-30 as well 😂
Horrible hook. That's one of those "rather win than be honest" moments.
Get it!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
u r an inspiration felix keep going
I watched ur match on my school computer and got a detention 😢

Great to see you like this - I've been watching you since 30k subs and clean to see ur progress

I was looking for this comment I definitely saw it being good as well
Clear good ball 😂
It was on the line. Clearly in

looks 0.5 cm out to me, right next to the line.
Great to see you back in tournaments Felix, Im convinced this is going to be your year.

Loving the transition into your aggressive game. About time you went for the shots rather than playing conservative and back down the middle. All apart of the process. Your doing amazing!
Felix, that shot on 30:30 at 5-3 in the first, isn't it in? =D
Very in!
yes very in, hes not a good sportsman i guess
saw that as in too
@@louislecloux6808 just a mistake dood, relax
That ball was very in. When you watch pro matches, you see the video review and how out it can look and still be in. Thats why if its close, it’s good. Thats how most players are being taught now
Great game felix loving the new season
This is the best series out there!!
Congratulations! Your evolution is notable, keep focused!
Congratulations 👏🏻🥳🥂
loving the longer videos
Your forehand was deadly in this match!!!!
from one year ago, you have really progressed, i think if you continue to stay injury free and work hard, you can make it.
your technique on serve looks flawless.
Nice to see you back doing tournaments

Congratulations Felix, always hard coming back from an injury and layover, well done bro👏
Felix on most of your approach shots, you tend to go for the backhand. You should mix it up going to the forehand. On your first match point, he read it perfectly. Food for thought
2023=The Year
Congrats Felix, way to smash through that last Set.
Great determination and drive.

Allez Felix
Hey Felix, I love your videos and I am pleased to see you that you're back on court. You played well on this match and I actually love this camera angle.
Bravo Felix! Once you get super confident on your forehand drop shot, then you’re forehand drive will become a better advantage to you. Keep on going!
ball at 9:02 def was line though😬
0,25 speed and reconsider
@@emilkoskinen7130 did the same, very close call… think it was just out
I love the camera angle it’s very professional
Like the overall scorebug design this video! Only thing is I would change is the caps consistency with the names (either both be all caps or title caps)
Also lol just saw this court is named after Tsitsipas haha
Greetings from New Orleans La.
Magnificent Felix!! What a super way to start the year! Keep that momentum going.
I got a big kick out of those chickens and roosters in the back ground. Lol
Felix , are you offering a tennis gear giveaway? I received a ménage that I’ve won a prize and to DM you at what’s app. Is this really you?
A Tennis bros. notification is always awesome.
Nice win, congrats! Keep up the hard work; I look forward to seeing how the year goes for you. Your movement looked very good, btw!
Dude this angle on the match was so good!
Felix the Beast! Congratulations on this great victory in Greece. Looks like your wobbly cameraman was hitting the ouzo a couple of times lol.
Inside-out forehand looking good Felix 🔥🔥
That last game was good, but I think you should try to place that attacking ball more in the corners. Like almost all the attackballs were in the middle.
Love your content! Great to see you are playing well after the injury. Good luck man.
Keep it up! you're the man-- big things soon!
9:05 , need a hawk eye on this one mate! Jokes aside...good game and welcome back on the court!
I know it’s easier for us watching the match on a TV, but at 9:00 the ball was clearly in
yeah saw that too
I mean sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. What comes around goes around, sometimes people steal a point or two, so you may steal one back on a really close call.
Zoom in with 0,25speed. It was out.
@@hsy2448 that kind of conduct does not have place in sports IMO
@@rvahi I thought it was out as well, but doing what you said shoes it’s in actyally
Well done Felix! Last game of the match was crazy, so many winners and a great way to start off the season.
Well Done Felix! Not easy coming back from injury, but well done on returning with a win and a solid performance! 👏 Good luck in your future matches 💪
Way to fight through,trust in yourself and finish strong!
Keep it rocking!!!!
Great win! Way to manage the nerves and keep steady. That’s got to feel good.
Let’s goo! Great recovery after the injury!🎉
Congrats man! Wooo way to keep going and push forward
Nice looking strokes and court sense… Keep tenning
let's gooo Felix, keep going!!
Really hard fighting by your opponent in that last game. Great that you were able to persevere and hold to win the match Felix!
11:50 Felix was so class right there :)
nearly hit the guy watching
Congrats Felix, nicely done!
Looking forward to more.
Cheers!

Great job Felix! If you are reading this, GET AFTER IT. I want to see this channel with you reach those grand slams qualifiers and fight Novak.
Been watching your journey. Nice commentary. Good rhythm/flow. Sometimes less is more. Good luck on the new season.
Keep going man!! Step by step
The difference between this year and last year is night and day especially in that forehand good win
He played a 16 year old with no depth. Not hating on Felix but this wasn’t much of a challenge.
@@StunnaDroppedYou yeah fair point but still improvement
@@havenpoll476 hopefully he can up his return game. He has the level to play on serve healthy but the returns don’t put enough pressure on the server.
Damn, both guys getting caught in 4k on bad line calls. Goes full circle I guess. Good reactions on both sides to the calls. I would've went ballistic.
yeah there were really bad calls from both side so it was kinda balanced
*sides
Great video and well done on the win.
Worrying to see a player that young having to ice that elbow after just 1 match.
Hopefully is from having a long time off and the operation worked.
Best of luck 🤞🏻
Some comments about close calls...it's not fair to say Felix is cheating. Camera angle is not great on those baseline shots so please don't be too hard as this may put extra pressure on Felix and he is making a huge effort to achieve his goal! Great first win Felix let's go!

Great match Felix. Use this as motivation, we would love to see another win 🎉
felix can u make a video about serving
Awesome win Felix and well done! Lets go in the next round!👍
Great to see you back competing. Felix! Let's goooo!
Great match Felix... I was totally gripped by the last game.
i love your videos!
This match was the best example of working on your weapons to hide your weaker shots.
Congratulations!
You was fire Bro,keep It up!
A lot of improvement on your backhand, Well done.
You’re playing well. Good job!
Hello!
I'm rooting for you from Japan😁
Nice game!
Well done mate - can see the progress from last season, backhand looks much better.
