Karue has just won an ITF tournament in Mexico. He didn't drop a set all week. He's already back into the top 1,000 ATP after just two tournaments! Very impressive!
It’s actually 35 matches now..😏 Don’t forget to smash that like button to help the channel! Editing again, it is actually 39 matches and a freaking professional ITF 15K title fam! No bs instruction. Following these rules
So many youtube videos emphasize on technique as the key to success, but not enough of these kinds of advice that are arguably more important to winning. Great vid.
Good ideas to consider. I am a singles player, mostly baseliner and sometimes gets talked into playing doubles and one thing I learned is in doubles you need to be EXTREMELY selective, especially from the baseline, on when you go for a really aggressive shot. BEST to hit a shot you CAN make nearly every time. Your #4 idea about big middle, do nothing like a boss, fight the instinct to go for too much, REALLY applies to my personal doubles game, level might be strong 4.0. Let them overhit, or hit a ball the net player can pick off. I really notice most players I play are trying to hit too many "I want to be a hero." shots.
I’ve reached a point with these videos I have to send a donation of thanks to Karue.. No joke,for me this video is a perfect timing l wonder whether to play in an upcoming tournament, or not . Don’t underestimate this channel especially if you’re starting to play a bit competitively
You have just made it into the top 1000 once again after reaching the quarters at Harlingen. Man is that impressive! How hard are you training? It would be great to get a video of your weekly routine!
hey Karue, big fan. one thing that has helped me tremendously in all areas of performance is visualizing before matches. i close my eyes take a couple deep breathes and start visualizing me getting to the site, changing my tourna grip, warming up etc. I then procceed to imagine myself playing very calmly and confidently, antecipating my oponents shots, and having a plan on court always instead of blindly hitting the ball. I see myself excelling in pressure points, playing a great match point and also visualize myself greeting my opponent and tasting the taste of victory right after it. Might look foolish but it has helped me a ton.
9:26 oh yeah, what a feeling... 😊. Real good tips here. As an amateur it's hard to do nothing, especially when you're loosing, big tentation to overplay (= unforced errors for sure). Neutreulizing the opponenent in order to wait for the good ball is a major key.
Great video Karue. I really need to learn how to do nothing like a boss haha. Serve is also a serious issue for me though I'm mostly happy with my return.
Really appreciate the coaching advice for playing better, this is the kind of content that is missing, how to manage yoursef during a match, everything rang so true . Excelllent , keep up the great work and good luck with your tournaments
These are great tips that even a low level rec player like myself finds useful! I implemented the "do nothing" tactic last night, down 3-5 in the 2nd set and won the next 4 games to close out the match with a W. Thanks Karue!!
Hey Karue, Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark. Your Channel is exactly what i have been looking for in terms of realistic progress for My Nineteen your old daughter who has returned on her own will after 5 years pause from the game. We cheer for you 🎾🇩🇰
That was some gold tips for mental aspect of the game . The doing nothing thing is key when on pressure ( balls that doesn’t give time to “shout” where to strike) it conserves energy because you won’t try over hit the ball and move needlessly (low chance of success)
Never heard a coach say "don't try to go for the side lines". My last coach drilled our team to go for long shots, close to the side lines as often as possible to enforce pressure. Made me lose many unnecessary points so far. I'll try your approach in the future! Thanks for the nice videos you upload!
I mean, if one has the precision to hit close to the sidelines very consistently without giving away a lot of errors, obviously do so hahah but I think most people are better of playing into safer targets
Touching on tightest. Convince yourself that you actually prefer feeling tight. And you actually play better when you’re tight and feeling the pressure. Another point is okay the match as a progression. Keeping the score in mind at all time Las about where you are in the match. As if you’re running a long distance, know where you’re at and push accordingly. Always building so you push toward a finishing point with your best level.
@@Karue-SellI discovered the end all be all idea that is the most important thing about tennis that’s should be worth a million dollars. I can give it to you. It will change everything and make the game so simple baffling most everyone you play. Let’s hook up
Brilliant tips! I put them all in practice today and I was able to beat a guy who usually defeats me quite easy! It worked! Thanks a lot and keep doing these quality videos pls
One tip I kept from Rafa Nadal is to just play every point, no matter if you 0-40 or 40-0, and don't think about the next point before. I also try not to think too much about the "ifs" : "if only I had won that point, I'd be at 3-2", etc. But great tips of yours. I'll try to keep this "do more nothing" as I tend to go for risky winners too often. Also, I didn't know you were Brasilian!
Great tips, thanks! I like that it's actually about improving in tennis. Some ppl say improve no bs but in the end it is bs. Not here, loved the video🙏💯
1) anticipate the opponent's shot and split step so you can move quickly to your hitting position (don't hesitate to move back) so you have time choose your shot and go through the ball with your knees bent..you'll quickly turn the point to your advantage vs. pushers..
Karue - I have absolutely been loving your content! Your simple effective groundstrokes are entirely inspiring and I was wondering if there are specific pro players you've looked at to develop them? I feel like your compact take-back and effortless look remind me Mannarino's.
Hello Karue...this channel is the very best!!...is tip #2 different from your earlier tip of the "ball tells you what to hit" which I love?...goid luck!!!
No. It is the next step. I only make up my mind once the opponent hits and I know my options. It’s quick thinking, mostly instinct. But the ball gives options, you need to decide
That shot selection tip is crucial: You have the reps. You just habe to trust your body. The less information you have your brain trying to calculate/process the better. (I.e. have your wrist do this, bend your knees, oh yeah but alao make sure youre rotating, and and...) You keep your target simple and specific, your body will figure out the adjustments you visualize. Prerty exhilarating when it feels effortless.
I like Karue's Brazilian accent in the background😊. If I could look that good hitting the ball I wouldn't even care if I won. Defo the best tennis chanel on the tube.
Awesome video that comes at a perfect time for me after winning for the first time against someone I always lost to. Everything said made perfect sense. Played relaxed, solid on serve, decent on returns, very few mistakes but also played aggressive some times. Good depth always, slow down points when needed, defend like hell and win magically came on its own. I love these videos.
Great content. In my doubles league, I see players trying to be the hero on the court and two seconds later their balls go out or hit the back of the court. I have asked players like this to go elsewhere because trying to be the boss usually means they lose matches. Consistent & strong strategy wins matches & tournaments.
Tennis player first, TH-camr second. It is a distraction, I am at these tournaments to win, not to influence. Brainpower needs to be focused on one task
Greeting from Hong Kong, can you please share more about your forehand, sometimes you finish with the racket on the same side/ not follow through all the way, is it just style or on purpose? Thank you, love your video!
Employed these tips in a Team Tennis format against someone who beat me a couple of weeks ago. I lost in a tiebreak, the wonky let rule, no ad scoring, and first to 5 format wasn’t the best for me :-/. But when I looked at my SwingVision it was clear that I played better than him for the entire match. Thanks again for the help!
Hey Karue, thanks for the amazing content. I noticed that physical training is the one thing missing in your program. All the great tips you give could only be followed and yield results if physical condition is good. Also, the level of stamina and anticipation you show in all the points you play can only derive from great training. What’s your physical training like? Would love to get your advice their, as it is a huge part of the game. Thanks mate!
Karue breezed through his second round and will now face n. 4 seed Leo Vithoontien of Japan (???) for a spot in the semis. Fingers crossed, but I'm pretty sure he's got the level to climb back into the top 1000 VERY swiftly. Then we'll go from there...
The best way to win a match is to be in form, just being a better player, but often you are not because of pressure, timing off, distraction, whatever. That's the reason tennis is tough, just small distraction and you may lose a set quickly.
Karue wins again. Looked like the streak may be in trouble as he dropped the first set to the n. 4 seed, a German ranked around 500, but he came back strong and took it in 3. Very winnable match in R2 against an American WC. Insane run by our favorite youtuber!
How can we think about this more during training and in match. A lot of times the information goes in one ear and out the other and it’s very difficult to remember these tips.
I want to ask, isn't it better to have a plan for the next 2 shots than to play stroke for stroke. For example I will play a diagonal he will most likely return a diagonal and I will play down the line? Like a game of chess. Or having a little deeper tactics? To play every shot with a purpose, not randomly playing the shots and hoping they work.Tnx
I mean absolutely you try to be more than 2 steps ahead if possible. But we aren’t teaching pros here, we are teaching 4.0s, 4.5s. The problem with trying to be 2 steps ahead is that you commit to going for a shot that might not be there. The idea might be good but your opponent might not allow you to do it, then you force it and make the error. I do this to players all the time when I anticipate their next move. If let’s say I play a hard cross shot with the goal of going to the open court on the next ball and come to the net and the ball allows me to do it, then yes that worked. But if the ball does not allow for that, I need to chill out, do nothing and wait for the next opportunity
Yes, that's right, for example, if you thought of a situation serve diagonal return diagonal second shot down the line, but your opponent's return is not in the most optimal place to play the ball down the line, then you can change the plan and play diagonal again instead of down the line. This,i think, will help with ball anticipation. For example, if you're practicing and your partner says he's going to hit a diagonal serve and you know that, your reaction is much faster and your shot is easier to execute than if you didn't know where it was going to come. .And for this reason, if you expect your ball to come to a certain place, you will be able to play it better than not expecting anything.Of course, the ball will not always come where you think, but you can always change the plan while the opponent's ball is flying towards you. Thanks for the reply,i appreciate that.

Karue! Start preparing yourself, I believe you can go far on tour. Your playing some great tennis right now!!
Karue, these tips are pure gold! Your track record speaks for itself, and this vid solidifies why you are the best player-coach around. 💪🎾

You've got this Karue. Excellent video and I pray for injury-free matches for your ITF tournaments.
You have just made it into the top 1000 once again after reaching the quarters at Harlingen. Man is that impressive! How hard are you training? It would be great to get a video of your weekly routine!
hey Karue, big fan. one thing that has helped me tremendously in all areas of performance is visualizing before matches. i close my eyes take a couple deep breathes and start visualizing me getting to the site, changing my tourna grip, warming up etc. I then procceed to imagine myself playing very calmly and confidently, antecipating my oponents shots, and having a plan on court always instead of blindly hitting the ball. I see myself excelling in pressure points, playing a great match point and also visualize myself greeting my opponent and tasting the taste of victory right after it. Might look foolish but it has helped me a ton.
I just love your thinking, man, you have grown to being something special on tour, good luck in Mexico, sky is the limit!
9:26 oh yeah, what a feeling... 😊.
Real good tips here. As an amateur it's hard to do nothing, especially when you're loosing, big tentation to overplay (= unforced errors for sure). Neutreulizing the opponenent in order to wait for the good ball is a major key.

Hey Karue,
Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Your Channel is exactly what i have been looking for in terms of realistic progress for My Nineteen your old daughter who has returned on her own will after 5 years pause from the game.
We cheer for you 🎾🇩🇰
Good luck to your daughter. There is no way to speed up the process, you just have to put in the time!

Absolutely amazing tips man. Cant wait for my injury to pass and get back on court and put these into practice!!!!

Great tips, thanks! I like that it's actually about improving in tennis. Some ppl say improve no bs but in the end it is bs. Not here, loved the video🙏💯

Thanks karue. Implemented the “shrink the court” strategy this week in singles and won easily. Even got mad at myself when I missed wide once.
Great stuff man you’re killing it! Great content keep going!!
Very valuable tips, Karue! Hope to see more videos like this

Really great video Karue
Let's go Karue!!! I want to see you in the top 100!!! Younhave the level
Can we see some similar types of tips for doubles? Particularly cues for net aggression as someone who’s more of a natural baseliner.
great video - thanks !

Karue walking the walk and talking the talk, respect!
The difficult part is getting the balance right so that instead of “doing nothing great” you don’t end up “doing nothing pushing”

5 tips that work regardless of what level you play. It is just that simple! Well done.

HE DID IT! The man just easily won a futures in his second tournament back. Back in the top 1000 without breaking a sweat. What a player!

yours not going for too much is my dream hit! XD
Karue, what is your shorts brand/model?
Excelente!
I hope you find the time one day to make a tweener compilation. I saw some of the ones you hit in the college days and they were amazing.
Hi Karue.What camera and setup do you use to record yourself if you dont mind?
Well you surely did walk the walk! Congrats on the title! 🥳👏
Hi Karue, is there a way to practice returning alone or do you need a willing friend? Thanks.
Nice video, but what happened to the videos/vlogs in atp tournaments with Giron? I used to like those very much
Nice & relevant content! :)
Best vid yet,
Karue up 4 1 in the first set on the way to 2 more points!!! Lets GO>
Edit 5 to 1 now!
