It was a lot of fun Winston, thanks for having me, gave me motivation to get in shape again and potentially play more matches!
you are a fine player and great sportsman
Hey Luca I remember you were the coach at Newport beach when I was playing those UTR matches around New Year this year. Good to see you playing man you look great! take care
@LucasLesoeur bravo Lucas... quel service et un très beau jeu... c'est le physique qui pêche... allez la France 😀
After I seen you hit, well you hit the ball like I do big bad and nasty. Keep in mind that running all around hitting inside out with the forehand all the time will get you more tired as that is a physically demanding shot to do. It will tire you out quickly within hours in the match. You want to use that sparingly so you don't get too tired.
You have a normal backhand slice that drops the ball in about 4-6 metres inside of the baseline a little past the service line which is still good, but it sometimes also pops the ball up high in the air so I think you are missing that big deep low flat penetrating slice drive that drops the ball in just only a few feet to a couple of metres inside of the baseline that digs up into people's legs and shoelaces and pushes them backwards on the baseline because of the depth and the pace and the skid.. Because I do that all the time to the club players and they hate that type of low deep skidding ball that goes more deeper into the court. Because I do that with pace.
Swing with no brakes with that buggy whip forehand, well I do like your idea because i do the same as what you're doing swing with no brakes on but I only do that if the ball keeps clicking in the court.
When it comes to the serve I have no brakes if the ball is clicking in but i do put on the brakes if the ball starts missing.
Good match guys.. Both hit very well
WoW!
This was the first player (that I recall)
that had several love service games against, Hermont.
*Lucas is the real deal.*
You can tell he's not in prime shape,
(would love to see that version of him)
but none the less, he gave Hermont a run for his money!
A re-match between these 2 is a definite *MUST!*
Looking forward to it!!!
That forehand from Lucas is devastating, amazing to watch Hermont just absorb that pace and play great shots. Really great match!
Lucas uses the Nadal buggy whip forehand. That's why hes dangerous. He hits the forehand with tight spin with like I do that's why he hits those big crosscourts. The club players don't like those big fast crosscourts.
Looked like Lucas was starting to get tired towards the end, but the man was a machine 😳
Props to Hermont for sticking in there and coming back.
Lucas is a big hitter of the ball. So its nothing new for me to see a power display from him for I do this same stuff down at my club to blast all the club players. Lucas uses the swing backhand. I use both the swing backhand and also the push backhand that Freedman been teaching his players to use. When it comes to the slices I like to keep the ball down low in the court rather than pop the ball up high in the air. As I know what happens if you pop the ball up high in the air on your slice, and it falls weak and short in the court, someone always comes along and crushes it. That's why I don't like sending up slow high floaters when it comes to slices on both wings..
Lucas don't have that big slice that stay always down low in the court for his backhand slice sometimes does unfortunately pops the ball up high and weak in the air or it winds up going the wrong direction sailing up and out of the court into the back fence. So hes not as solid on the slice as he is on his forehand. But he is strong on that reverse forehand. hes dangerous on that forehand.
He does have some difficulty dumping the serves returns down into the net making mistakes because of trying to take full swings at the serve when he don't always have enough time to do the full swings so he gets jammed and cramped up with the ball as he is a big guy and takes a little bit longer for him to get his body out of the way of the incoming ball... This is why i use that little push drive instead when i don't have enough time to do a full swing whether its fast groundstrokes or fast serves. That's why i made the switch to use the push drive instead for the serves and approach shots.
Hes just your normal big power server, sometimes his serve works and blasts all in and hes deadly on the court and othertimes it dumps all down into the net or misses the lines. So the serve is not fully tuned in yet probably due to being a little bit rusty.But still a dangerous opponent to face.
@@germanslice i thought you were hermont reading this, made it sound like you were playing him
@@samster978 It looks like to me that Lucas was going for broke on some of those balls not sure if hes hitting at 80% or is going for max power in everything in some of these balls that hes crushing.
Kareu tells us to stick to 70-80% power but if you are hitting at near max power and are missing the court, and you are down in points then its best to drop the power level down to 70-80 power at match speed level (serving and groundstrokes), but if you are smacking them in at your max level and they are clicking in at 100+ mph then by all means we don't fix what is working but when that wave ends and the ball starts going long then its time to go back to match speed.
I think Lucas may have been trying to go for broke sometimes when hes behind in points. And that is a bit risky to do.
you can tell Lucas is used to play at a much higher pace by his strokes, he was probably a menace back in the days
cal poly is full of 12s and 13s so
He has good footwork and moves pretty well considering his size and how many backhands he was able to run around!
@@asdfswer4657 what is cal poly
@@DetectiveConan990v3 the university he played at.
"Big serve" is an understatement! That hyper G was holding on for dear life on every serve. Hermont outfoxed the big guy. Kudos to both!
Lucas has so much testosterone he should be studied
lmao
Hahahaha
Insane intensity made me hold my breath during many points, more like this please. Hermont obviously has vast match experience, the way he organised his game and neutralised his opponent bit by bit is simply amazing.
This got to be the most intense match on this channel so far.
This is really high level match 😇 Thank you Winston for the great content!
This matchup was hilarious. It’s aggressive vs ….. even more aggressive 😂. Lucas is no joke aside from massive serve and fh his backhand slice is super low and deep. Enjoyed this video! I appreciate Hermont’s willingness to play any comp. Shows he’s a true competitor
Lucas is the type of guy that if he's having a good day, he's unbeatable. Also, dude is the definition of gentle giant. Exciting match!
love how respectful these guys are -- they're proper competitors who just love good tennis. Lucas has an unbelievable forehand but Hermont's serve and return of service are just massive -- really incredible stuff thank you Winston for bringing us this. This is the kind of stuff that every club player aspires to be -- you as well Winston -- your progress is inspiring
Incredible match. Definitely a testament to hanging in there even in the face of an absolute beast. Lucas has incredible pace and spin, but Hermont weathered his best and just kept coming. Lucas def looked like he tired, and he couldn’t get enough lift on those lower forehands as much toward the end. But man, high high quality match! Well done to both of them!!!
He is also very tall and has a long way to go if he is lifting short balls
This was an excellent match! I applaud Hermont’s composure in the face of Lucas’ heavy barrage in the first few games
holy crap...just really impressed by both performances.
By far the best match on this channel that I've seen. So good and very inspiring!
The legend of Hermont lives on
One of the best tennis channels on the net. Keep the intriguing matchups coming!
Hermont has killer instinct, that dude closes games like its just another point.
I have watched most of Hermont's matches here, and you hit the nail on the head. In addition to his physical game, he is mentally tough. Not an easy guy to beat!
Pay-per-view material, for sure! Awesome sportsmanship!!! Would love to watch these two over and over.
WOOOOOOWZA ... what a match, so exciting, didn't know which way this was going until the end. Great sportsmanship by both players, both Hermont and Lucas have a great attitude and obviously both are at a very high level. Love Lucas's serve + forehand (both are bombs!) and thought his slice backhand was very effective and was even used quite offensively ... refreshing to see a healthy dose of European nonchalance as well =)
Loving the channel Winston, you've made great progress yourself in a very short amount of time.
I've seen Hermont hit the ball with a lot more pace on this channel, but I'm sure he figured out Lucas prefers those so he slowed them down a bit, which worked in his favor. I'm impressed by how he returned Lucas' serves, he kept almost all of them in play and had maybe one or two return errors the entire set.
Awesome match!! Great players...Thanks for posting....
Geez. Lucas came out swinging haymakers.
5:14 What a beauty. 5:50 Beautiful indeed.
Lucas definitely looks like he can be a monster when fit.
What 2 wonderful guys😊😊 great vid!!🤙👍
Monstrous forehands by Lucas, reminds me off the Berrettini forehand a little bit
Finally, Hermont got a worthy opponent! Luca's serve and forehand are amazine! Awesome play guys! Spectacular tennis!
Super fun to watch! High quality play
Great sportmanship! You both are winners in my mind.
Please have this matchup again. Great tennis.
BEST match i've seen on the channel!
after watching these two great players, I think I will take up knitting....love this channel
Nice match up. Thanks for vid.
That was intense. Great comeback Hermont! Lucas' serves were bullets
Awesome match. Both players are great. Luca seems like such a cool guy.
Best match on this channel so far!
wow, should have brought the radar gun out for this one! nice match. thanks again for the gear breakdown. Amazing that Hermont hits so powerfully w/ a light racquet like the F500!
Height is such a big advantage! Props to Hermont for surmounting that
Great match really enjoyed it
Hermont started getting more returns in. Lucas gives off serious computer science vibes. He was NOT lying about having a big serve.
Great match fellas! Ty Wu
I saw that serve at 15:44 in. It was a match point and could change the result of this match. Anyhow, great players!
I enjoy these more than pro matches. Great production, great players!
What a great match. Fitness and consistency proved the deciding factor. Lucas has the shots which he proved early. In the end they were really only separated by a couple of points. Thanks for the inspiration.
Best match on the channel so far. Lucas power is so easy for him and Hermont is relentless. And the sportsmanship made the match that more enjoyable to watch.
Wow Lucas serves are crazy. He’s a great player and would like to see him more on the channel!
this was a great match to watch. Hermont definitely got more comfortable as the game went on with returns when Lucas wasn't getting his first serve in. Both have amazing first serves so it was good to see them adjust to blocking the ball and starting the rally. Those backhand slices from both were very low and difficult to hit. Very impressed from both players.
Fun match and impressive hitting! Hermont is mentally and physically tough. Lucas has some serious, easy power off the forehand wing.
It would be great to see you two play again.
Very good Content Winston!
Great matchup. Lucas has such quick hands, translating to high racquet head speed, on the forehand. Oh, and on the backhand slice, and also the serve!
Man Hermont is unstoppable! Young, big, old.. he always finds a way to win!
I'm going to start saying "beautiful" like Lucas when my opponent hits a good serve, haha, that was so charming. What a great match!
Nice hitting! Lucas can really rip (whip) that FH! Good comeback by Hermont after he weathered the storm! :)
Both of these athletes are monsters!
More like Goliath vs Goliath! What a high quality slugfest. Michael Bay couldn't have directed it any better 🔥
Short Goliath vs Tall Goliath. But Hermont was playing more of a counterpunching style it seems than his usual aggressive style. Easier to smack around weaker hitting opponents and riskier against this big hitting opponent
Great game
I would really enjoy a best of 7 series between these two... This was a true servers duel.
Awesome match, serves look incredibly fast
very cool, solid dudes
great video mate
Love those outdoor hard courts. Weirdly enough we hardly have any in the UK. Probably because of the shocking weather but they play really nice
Winston you said it at the end, but about halfway through the set I was thinking I gotta comment about the sportsmanship
Both gave each other credit, but not in a fake way, and both kept their competitive focus
It was great to see high level competing and good sportsmanship
And contrasting styles
San Luis Obispo’s my hometown!! Hell ya
It was a fun match to watch! Hermont really stuck with it, even at 1-4
Fun match! Lucas inside-out forehand is amazing. A few scorching winners. Seems like match turned Hermont turned to a more defensive game. Also, Hermont didn't have a great first serve percentage but was able to tough it out. Enjoyed watching.
That was a great match from both sides. Great sportsmanship. Lucas 1st serve is a bomb!
What a game! There's gotta be a re-match!
Good quality, great sportsmanship. Lucas has a good slice backhand but his level dropped towards the end due to fatigue I guess. Hermon is very consistent and tough to beat.
Bro Hermont came back grinder way to go fellas good game .
Monster serves...fun to watch
Great match, really high level
I also got the same shoes for my birthday! Great style. :-)
Super high quality tennis. Lucas welcome to the channel!
Lucas is fast, can't wait to see him in the future when he's fitter. Still very impressive even now.
Vermont is Diamond.
Thanks Winston as always.
M
Good shit bro
I like the sponsor labels on the side fence.
Hermont is a monster! 💪🤠
great match, monster serves from both, monster FH from Lucas. A few questionable calls, but with those serves it cant be easy. Applauds to both!
Damn lucas hits hard 😤
This is a really good match
Luca's game reminds me of my own. As a fairly big guy (6'2, 235lb), I can say that while producing amazing winners, it's hard to maintain consistency in the long run. Lucas, being a big hitter, often gives away free points with balls stuck in the net or going too long. It's more of an impulsive game than a calculated one, relying on feeling rather than technique. His backhand could also use some work. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this match. Amazing forehand, powerful serve, impressive slides, and great overall performance. Hermont as always made great use of the court, knew he was overpowered but manged to use it to his advantage! Great match!!
Nice video
Great players, lot to learn here. Lucas started killing Hermont with huge forehands until 4-1. Then he definetily got tired, miss lot of shots, double faulted a entire game. Hermont on the other side, has patience and keep the consistence the entire set, keeping the footwork and balls on the court. Great game to watch, congratulations to both!
Great Match! Lucas fatigue towards the end probably contributed to a few of these missed forehands, but Hermont came through again with that aggressive while steady playing style.
Lucas! I've only seen the first 2 points and I'm going to guess he's going to be handful and toughest opponent. Dude is ballin, hope he keeps it up and isn't tired
What do you use to mount the camera, Winston? Fun match!
Those guys are pro
Power’s forehand is a thunderclap. So dangerous!!
How fast was Lucas' serves? How is it compared to ATP tour players (I'm talking about the average player not the serve bots)?
The interesting thing is Hermont didn't even try to move back one bit and keep returning from the baseline. Superb anticipation.
Calling it now - Match of the year candidate
What camera and video editing software are you using?
Hermont is a beast!
Lucas - beautiful slice backhand.
Great hitting. Lucas play style reminds me of Steve Johnson
They really both serve some wicked heat! Lucas got the reach advantage. But man, Hermont is good.
Hermont why did you switch to the Dunlop Fx500. What racket were you using before? Thx
I'm really impressed with the little guy.
As a short guy Hermont is my biggest source of inspiration.
Great match. Why don’t you use the swingvision app and a fence mount for making these videos even better
For a second i thought hermont was going to finally lose haha. Lucas has a killer forehand, but stamina got the best of him for sure. Amazing players and awesome to watch.
Bomb serves
Really interesting video (thanks Winston). Lucas knows himself and his game better than anyone, so whatever he says, is more than likely right. He came out hard, but looked to be flagging from around the middle of the set onwards. Hermont just had to survive the heavy artillery in the beginning, and then was able to get back into it through a combination of his own consistency, and Lucas dropping his level.
Winston, just a small point for you; I've said this to you before, and I think this video is a good example; when you have, and GO FOR, a big serve, it can win you a lot of points. You're a tall enough guy, so try training your first serve, and actually train to GO for it. Whether you decide to hit big on the second serve or not is a different discussion, but you should at least get that weapon in your toolkit.
