This is legit 5.0 tennis
Looks like Naveen is UTR 9.09 so yea, I'd say it's 5.0 level. There are a few UTR 9+ 4.5s
5:20 BRO WITH THE FED FLICK
Lol 🇨🇭
@TricksterKev that was so sick
So good!
I love how Naveen occasionally activates power mode :D great game guys!!
Thanks man! Ha yea maybe I should do the same sometimes
Awesome!! I learned a lot from you guys!! More vids please!
Thanks Keith, more to come!
Man, I love watching such clean high quality tennis!
Thanks Doug, more to come!
that naveen put nearly all his serves to your bh! good playing.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed ✌
Great level, congratulations to both! 👏
Thanks man!
Great content man! Probably best OHBH since Shapo lol
Lol, thanks for the kind words and for watching man 🙏
WOW Naveen looks so smooth man.
great quality from both of you super match up.
Thanks man!
6:39 beautiful point
excellent stuff
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed 💪
I really like your style and how you play. Beautiful and very consistent backhand, really. Can i ask you which racket you use?
Thanks man, I use the RF97 💪
Beautiful OHB
Thanks man💪
After seeing these 2 play I come to the conclusion that I have been playing this SPORT wrong for 30+ years
LOL, no such thing as a wrong way of playing. If you win the match, that’s all that matters
you started off great, but wow did he kick it up a gear. serving and volleying was a good idea. i think during points when you hit a good shot you should have rushed in more too, when returning
Agreed, definitely a couple where I could've done that. In the moment, I decided to go the high percentage route and hang back after the return since they were break points
Damn you guys are insanely good like UTR 10?
Lol thanks man, Naveen's highest UTR was an 11 and my highest was a 10
@@TricksterKev current UTR?
@@10splay High 8
@@TricksterKev nice backhand!
If you keep hitting flat footed forehand your going to hit a ceiling in how much pace you can generate
Can we see the setup you use to record your matches?
I just use my iPhone and use a tennis mount that you hook over the curtain
We need your racket specs and strings haha

naveen grunts reminding me of an animu knight, gotta grow a mane dude
roger that
The s/v player is clearly the better player and he deserves so much credit for actually playing the game of tennis.
highly agree
Appreciate the kind words man but at the end of the day Naveen consistently beats me so technically he’s the better player lol
Great tennis!👍
Wondering how long you stayed at 3.5 level in your tennis journey. I’m guessing not too long.
Honestly I only learned about how the NTRP system maybe 2 years ago lol. But yea I’d probably say I didn’t stay at 3.5 for too long. Don’t have an exact time though
Why is Naveen dummy thicc
28 ball rally @ 2:58
All that work and still didn't break 💀
Yes first game 2nd set screwed up the score, and then point you lost the game on was in @5.50
Yep…happens to everyone unfortunately 💀
@@TricksterKev Sure does, the pros often get it wrong so us mere mortals will too.
99% people probably won't ever realize that this level is nearly impossible for amateurs
Lol, playing a lot of hrs for many years helps a little ;)
I play in USTA tournaments and I have seen this level on many occasions in the semi's and finals.
Where is this indoor tennis court?
billie jean king national tennis center lol
Subscribed for some good tennis :)
Appreciate it man! 💪
Naveen! Normalize a backhand slice down the line. Feel comfortable with it. And both of yall... Yer forehands have such extreme grips that your approach shots are a shanky gamble. Then say the approach is read and anticipated, your volley choice is some wack punch to a non-contradictory spot. There is an art to approach shots and corresponding volleys. It requires a more traditional form. Western Grippers inherently have problems at the net. Wrap yallz heads around this. Send junk, receive junk. Send structure, receive something calculable.
Backhand slice down the line is a decent choice against lefties because it goes to his backhand. But Kevin has a nice backhand flick, and the shot goes to the forehand against righties anyway. A bit of a waste of time to take a risk on that shot imo, and I regret going for it the few times that I did in the match. It has to be placed so well and so low to be really effective. I'd rather develop a good down the line backhand. There's reason why Djokovic, Zverev, and other players on tour with good backhands aren't hitting backhand slices up the line very much. It's not effective anymore.
Kevin's forehand grip is very classical? He uses pretty much the same grip as Federer so not sure what you mean. I definitely have a more extreme grip, a la Sock, kyrgios, etc. It's hardly unusual at the top level, and it's just plain a bunch of fun. And most players change their grip at the net?
If you don't have enough time/your approach gets read then you shouldn't have come to the net. Of course if you hit a bad approach shot then you will get punished. Why would I change my grip so that I can have the same grip for both when I could just hit a better approach shot? It may not look that fast, but at the pace that Kevin and I are playing at, you really get punished if you can't hit with pace and spin. And the pros are so much faster than even we are. You plain can't do that as easily with continental. There's a reason why pros don't use continental anymore.
I'm continental at net though. I won't stick by my volleys, they definitely need work. Kevin has really nice volleys. That's why I don't come to the net very often and he comes in more. It really doesn't have much to do with my grip.
What crazy grip does Naveen have on his forehand ??
Looks to me like an extreme SW grip. Partly explains his ability to paint the lines with his groundies lol
You should have been sticking a lot more heavy slices to his extreme FH grip
@@joetenise Fair point, and then wait for a weak response so I can use my FH. Will remember to do that more. Thanks 👌
@@TricksterKev exactly man, not to mention you’re going to draw at least a few errors with how difficult it will be for him to get underneath a low sticking slice…I’m a former d1 player and this always works with against the extreme FH players, simple but so effective
I think you have a very good slice it was just way underutilized in that match. Your top spin backhand is good too, but the problem is it sits up and extreme FH grip players love hitting high balls!
