    Keep it up Felix. Seeing you play against the top players shows us your real potential. We believe in you! Kokkinakis is an amazing player and he's really fun to watch thanks to his aggresive playstyle. I've been following him for a while and a signed ball would really make my day.

      Many tennisfans were always bashing Murray for his moodiness on court and sometimes passive tennis, but stories like this one from the lockerroom are so nice to hear and makes you understand why he was so well respected and loved by his peers. (he had a great relationship with the big 3, whereas they had much more tense relationships between them, especially Nole vs Rafa and Nole vs Roger)

      @@ChessboyJohnny An old school friend of mine worked at the 2012 Olympics (iirc, his job involved walking tennis players to the practise courts etc). He'd never been a Murray fan but came away raving about him.

    Hey Felix! Thanks for the great video. Kokkinakis has always been a really exciting player for me to watch because of his aggressive play style and a great forehand. I remember watching him with my family win Adelaide a while back, and it would be really cool to have his autograph. Keep up the good work!

    @ismaelcarrera4630 4 дня назад +2

    Hello Felix! I've been watching your progress for about 2 years now & you've definitely have improved a lot. You're a big reason why I come back to tennis when life isn't as busy. I'm also a huge fan of Kokkinakis! We're around the same age so in my High school days I would watch his matches when he was a junior & when he transitioned to full time pro. I would love to win one of his signed balls! But if not thank you for reading my comment & keep grinding bro!

  • @rutherix9021
    @rutherix9021 4 дня назад +20

    Ive noticed how you play a lot better when you're more relaxed. Im sure going into these matches with players like thanasai and musetti the mindset would just be to go all out and not hold back considering how this is a learning experience for you. When your playing a futures tourny you at times change the aggressive nature of your game all i wanna say is maybe try playing like this in a professional match too. (Btw im aware of the fact that youre definitely aware of this too but just a word of advice on my end ). Keep up the good work mate i see a lot of potential. i myself am working on my game right now maybe we'll meet each other at a tournament some day!

    Your channel has really gotten me even more into tennis. I followed the sport before watching you, but your journey is very inspiring to watch and has me hooked now. Kokkinakis is actually my favorite tennis player as he seems like such an enjoyable guy to be around while also being pretty good at hitting the yellow thingy😅. Watching his AO run with Nick was one of my favorite tennis memories. I usually don't comment on RUclips videos but this seemed meant to be! Love the videos, keep up the good work.

Plus, a signed ball would really inspire me to get to the next level in my tennis career as well. Take care.

    @jugz640 2 дня назад +2

    I’ve been a huge fan of Kokki for a while now - I love his fighting spirit and all his fantastic comebacks, especially the one at Wimbledon against Auger. It’s a shame he struggles a lot with his injuries. If it wasn’t for his injuries he’d be a top 10 player no doubt.
    Unfortunately I haven’t seen Kokki in real life yet but I hope that’ll change soon. I’d love to win a ball and I’ll frame it on a wall in my room!
