For a USTA 4.0 tournament you did great. You know some of your shots aren't at that level yet and you needed to bring some food with you to keep going. Great work!
Tell Kyle to serve 3-6 feet closer to the ally (where ever he feels comfortable). Makes the 3rd hit much easier to get to. All around very impressive showing guys!
Hey man, great post - one thing I mentioned before, I'm not sure you saw, but you gotta stop running through your shots. Plant and hit even on an approach, plant them dang feet. It's probably why when you were tired in your match against Chris even though you said you weren't moving your feet you were actually hitting cleaner because your body and feet were chill
I started at playing tennis a year and a half ago at 51 and I've interest in playing a usta tournament. This video is inspiring.
I would rate Trey in Belgium around 10 to 20 points. Our system goes all the way until 115 points (pro players like Zizou Bergs, Joris De Loore, etc.).
I have currently 30 points and I'm planning to play some tournaments to reach 40 points. At 40 points, you have a solid overall game (consistent good and deeper groundstrokes, good serve and netplay). Between 50 and 80 points, you have all that and on top of that also serious weapons like e.g. FH winners, high intensity play, advanced tactics, etc.
Above 80 and you're a beast that already plays since childhood. Really nice games to watch.
That’s very interesting I didn’t know about the Belgium rating system
@@Wowverycrazy You're welcome. This system has been introduced since a couple of years in the northern part of Belgium (Flanders). In the south (Wallonia), they still use the older system. 30 points is there equivalent to C-30 level. France also uses a very similar system as Wallonia.
Nice job. A split-step, a continental grip, and holding the racquet centered in front of your body will go a long way with the volleys. Fun video.
Kyle is crazy good!!
I cannot wait to see more of his journey. Good stuff boys!!!
I love your channel! Keep it up, you will definitely be able to do this full time sooner rather than later :)
Dude, I felt your pain with the cramps. Numerous times after playing in the heat driving home I cramped up like that! Learned the hard way but now make sure to hydrate before and during the matches…
That's a tough match, especially after having played so much tennis already! You said it in the video, but your net game is where the struggle really seems to comes in. I attend a tennis school (here in Japan that is normal, hard to play regularly otherwise), and I think that is probably one of the biggest benefits - working on specific aspects like volleys, smashes, and so on. A ball machine can help, but I really believe coaches matter here because they can notice specific deficiencies that we can't, even if looking at video, and help correct them. If you get that net game down and solidify your backhand, you'll be a beast to play. You're obviously already a solid player. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your journey!
Inspiring content Trey. makes me pumped to get to a level where I can enter tournaments
Nuun tablets and Pickle Juice. Note that Pickle Juice is a brand name. (Not just drinking the water from a pickle jar.)
You did so well I will love to see you both improve in the future 🎉🎉🎉
to beat a pusher you have to hit consistently and with pace into the corners
With pace and top spin!😊
Love these calm tennis recaps and footage!
I love seeing the ups and downs of your matches. Tennis is such a Rollercoaster of a sport. Awesome work lads, you guys are awesome!
Pushers are the worst. I played one last weekend in a tournament, most I have ever run in a match and lost 4&4. Keep up the great work, really like your channel.
Fun episode! Love watching your progress. Keep killin it!
Similarly to you I volley terrible in a match. I decided recently to start serve and volley/hit and charge every time someone’s score reaches 30. Starting to get a lot more comfortable there now. Don’t know if that would work for anyone else. I don’t really care about the losses at this point, just trying to aim at higher play.
Good for doubles...just remember after serve you have to move and it's doubles STOP! serving as single your and EASY return out wide. Mega points on parents and I saw and felt that crap...ouch! Love the channel
Kyle really needed to server from out wide and not at the T in that last match, he was just leaving so much open court for the return.
Keep at it. Great effort to bring that last match to being more competitive. For those long days drink a lot of water the day before and pickle juice. Pickle juice will seriously save your life. Keep putting out the videos. They are highly entertaining.
can't keep going to the net if it's not working
You guys are seriously great competitors whether you believe it or not. Kyle is crazy good considering how long he has been playing! But, in Doubles, he is standing in the center of the court when he serves and doesn't move. Totally wide open for any crosscourt returns! He needs to at a minimum move towards the sideline immediately after he serves, but really he needs to stand near the singles line when serving, honestly. The mindset should be to mostly cover his side of the court and only if needed to cover a lob over Trey's head... When Trey is serving, pinching the middle of the court is good, but it depends on how good the returner is at hitting down the line. If only one player is at the net, still cover mostly your side. It's impossible for one person to cover all the net by himself. Rely on your partner to cover his side, for the most part. At least this should be the mindset for newer doubles players.
Once you get better, then it's more fun with poaching, using different serving tactics and set plays...
I know others already mentioned it, but take bananas, electrolytes, protein bars and maybe some candy to your games. You cannot play without food, least of all in a tournament.
Yeah I was not prepared
4:43 wtf that serve was crazy
You guys had fun, great play guys and Kyle playing great for his first tournament. Super impressed by his serve. The serve is the strongest shot you can learn and he got that first. In singles brotha you did great fought your heart out. Keep your head up good luck on your next one ☝🏽
I'm pretty sure you are using the same grip hitting your ground stroke and your volley. Change volley shot to continental grip so you don't have this awkward pose when you attempt to hit it.
How long has Kyle been playing? He's really good!
Tell him to serve in doubles from closer to the doubles alley : )
He started practicing 2 weeks ago but had hit probably 10 times prior
@@Winners-OnlyWell I've been playing for a year and he looks much better than me. You guys progress so fast it's crazy.
Bring some GU gels, liquid IV, bananas, and protein bars with you and tournaments will get a lot easier.
Wow! USTA tournaments have gotten soft, we use to have to play the best of 3 sets. I am 52 years old and disabled and I would win singles and my doubles partner and I wouldn’t drop a game at the 3.5 / 4,0 level. I am definitely signing up for local USTA in Florida tournaments. I need some new trophies! You guys playied great tennis today. Congratulations on your wins!
It depends on the tournament. This one in particular is always pro set with ad. There are others in Houston that will do 2/3 sets with super tie breaker. They're usually reserving the full 3rd set for bigger tournaments only now.
Hey! If you are in Houston on May 24, there is a USTA Unsanctioned Men's open at Homer Ford Tennis Center if you like to participate. I will be joining the singles & doubles and would really like to see you there and compete! Love following your journey and would love to just say Hi! :D
I still don't get it why people want to play single and double at the same time
@@user-zf3ue4nr5g Get to play more matches
How many hours do you practice a week? How many times a week do you practice 1st and 2nd serves? How many days a week do you practice your volleys? How many times a week do you practice your weaker shots?
If you don’t practice you are not going to get any better at tennis. If you practice and take tennis seriously you will get better. No easy way to improve in tennis, you either want to put the time in or you don’t my friend. Great video and I wish you the best my dude.
I think you and Trey should play a match
@@tennisteuton I love Trey’s channel and he is one of the nicest guys on here. I would love to meet him and play a match, he is very athletic and I think it would be a learning experience for both of us. But from what I seen Trey is a solid 3.5 player and is getting better, he just needs to put more work in on the courts. It’s not easy to be able to make shots without practicing a variety of shots and working on the serve. I will be posting a video tonight of my practice session off the ball machine. I will play against anyone who wants to play my friend.
That thigh cramp looked crazy
Lesson: bring food 😀
have i been playing 8 game pro sets wrong my entire life? i always thought you played the tiebreak at 7-7
Kyle, you're serving position is, um, non-optimal. You're standing next to the center line, like you're playing singles. You're giving up WAY too much open court to the returner. You need to stand more like 10 feet away from the doubles sideline when you serve. Or stand some distance that is more reasonable.
Kyle vs jake in a grudge match
You need to mix up your game more. A whole lot of forehand back and forth need to change the pace. Slice, drop shot, etc… you are getting much better though been watching since the beginning keep it up
What grip are you using for your volleys?
Fairplay Kyle 👍
Start working on your foot work, I think jumping when hitting forehands the way you do makes your shots unstable, wish you all the best.
Need to have some bars or bananas. Food man
what level was the doubles final? 4.0 or 3.5?
4.0
If Kyle fixes his serve positioning (wider) he’d have a better chance in dubs.
If Trey stops approaching the net for volleys until he spends a month or so learning how to volley he would make way less errors. Might need to revisit some coaching and stop building your bad habits through constant match play. Everyone looked like a 3.5 at best too.
Also bring fruit/fruit snacks and electrolytes for matches.
Iuno what it is with usta rankings I'm probably same level as you but I'm a 3.5 at best. 4.0s in my city would smoke you and I
I think you play better in tournaments. As for net game I think you try and hit too much like pros, the slice volleys, I've been told to do that too. And I did what works for me, get on the ball which mean MOVE! when high and punch/push ball AWAY from player. I tell myself volley down away not up away.
Go Kyle!
My dude, you HAVE to eat/hydrate. I know you know this. Yes, you can critique what you need to do on the court to get better, but a lot of that was skewed by the lack of fuel. All that said, way to battle!
Whats your national rank for 4.0?
I'm actually not sure why you go so much at the net. Your volleys are not ready for that play style yet. Cost you the game imo.
Yes, stay at the baseline and grind it out. You're fast enough to run around backhands. Going to the net looks like is losing you points. Until your volleys get better. Oh and you try to punch your volleys with your hand. Don't do much with the hand, move your feet for power
He might be losing the points at the net but he is getting better by coming to the net
Well, trying to shorten points and not cramp.
@@Will_taylor551 He is not bad at approaching the net, the volleys themselves are his biggest weakness. I kind of like his instinct to be aggressive and finish points at the net, but he should really spend 75% of his practice time on his volleys if he is going to play that way.
fr....good 4.0 will pass and lob your BH all day
Kyle is pretty crazy for his lack of experience you went net way to often in singles very strange
If your tactic doesnt work try different tactic not doing that tactic for the hole match.
if you don't play good on the net don't go to the net
Trey as always man keep rocking. 5.0 is in sight. Your starting look like Sinner the way you throw your arm over your shoulder on those bigs forehands.
5.0 is not in sight lets be honest
He can maybe be 4.5 but hes barely 4.0
@@anonusniogsonisrgnip some of these comments are delusional. Ive been a 4.0 for 8 years. There is no easy shortcut to winning a 4.0 tournament or even touching 4.5. Many former D1 college players are considered 5.0 and people saying its in sight lmao
@@dropshot118 lol not to sound like a hater but hes not even 4.0. commenters are morons
Yea thats true, 4.0 level is no joke, no room for inconsistent groundstrokes like treys, he would have to improve his technique alot to be even a 4.0. A 4.0 would beat him with consistency depth and footwork alone. People are indeed delusional about tennis levels for sure
@@dropshot118 The only 5.0 players I know of are all coaches in my area or former D1 athletes. On top of that, the level they play at and can just exhibit when not even being competitive is insane. The consistency they have along with mastery of shots is soooooo far ahead of what a 4.0 player does, let alone a 4.5 player.
Absolutely no progress in volleys. I cannot understand why you don’t work thereon. So many easy points just given away. I mean you are athletic and you can make up for some lack of technique in your groundstrokes by your physicality and your really good serve. But after you hit a good approach shot, you so often suck at the net. It is really hard to see. I hope you are not offended by my harsh criticism but watch all your footage and think about it. You could level your game so much with some decent volley technique.
And another advice for an older player : Do not forget to drink during the game and have magnesium before it. Also a banana may help. I saw Berretini eating one during a match and he is a professional under the top 50 in the world. So probably a little more athletic than you 😂
Please stop
playing a tennis.
Having a bad day?!
@@andreasmueller8353 Nope, If you play, start to play like a man and warrior. Its shame to looking at you when you start twerking/dancing/shuffling on the court instead of to try give your best.
No, you can't.
