The girl is ranked 737, hardly a pro. The Williams sisters once claimed they could beat any male player outside the top 200. They then played against Karsten Braasch (ranked 203), a guy at the end of his underachieving career. He beat them 6-1 (Serena) and 6-2 (Venus). Admittedly, they were at the beginning of their careers but these results are still quite a statement. They then announced they would surely beat a guy outside the top 300 to which Braasch respodended they should just wait a couple of months for a re-match - until then he'll have lost enough points.
I remember that. Thanks for pointing out that Venus and Serena were at the beginning of their careers and hadn't fully harnessed the arsenal that they would later display.
Andrew Lau happens to everyone, also when you play with people with weak shots because we’re not comfortable with dead balls and I always find myself landing my shots out of the court.
really, i played tennins.. once in my life.. i don't even know why im here, but EVEN I could see that guy sucks pretty bad, he didn't understand how you're supposed to play. The game is not about only sending the ball on the other field, but also learning how to do that in the best way to its harder for the other to get it... but this guy only seems to be sending the ball to the other field like "i don't matter how i do it as long as its not in my field!" lol
@@PolarBearProblems I would to see your level of Italian. ar least I try to communicate in another language even if it's not my own and I never studied it. what about you? are you like this by default or you did a course to be the way you are?lol
The first few games, she tried too hard to finish him quickly and so did make mistakes at the critical points. She should make Chris move around the court a lot more until he got tired and then Chris would start to make more and more mistakes.
@@TanPham-sn3fc haha funny i get this response now. I just lost to someone in a close match and I think this is why. I should have focused on making him move more. Every time I put it deep in the corners, he struggled. No matter how soft I hit it, if I placed it in the corners, he was done. I got him next time.
srsly wtf is going on here? the 15 year old girls in my residential community plays better than her, and the guy has no technique whatsoever, i dont understand how is he 4.0
Yes, he looks more like one of those 3.5 guys who can have success in singles because they can keep the ball in play. I know he had shoulder issues, so I'll forgive the serve and the service motion, but his backhand generally lacked any form. He was just blocking it far too much for a competitive 4.0 player in the leagues I play in. Maybe his league isn't as competitive.
Wow he’s pretty old and took a long break from tennis he’s actually pretty good if he practiced more he could have easily vested her with plus his server and everything is really consistent
@@logan52s36 He could have served underhand and it would have been faster than what he did. Also... horrible serving motion which is prolly why he got an injury.
@@netgodzilla4477 I think there was once a game between the best pro females (Williams sisters) and #203 of male players and the male player crushed the female players and said: ""They wouldn't have had a chance against anyone inside the top 500 because today I played like someone ranked 600th to keep it fun," So yeah, female athletes have no chance even against mediocre pro male athletes www.marca.com/en/more-sports/2017/06/27/595296da468aeb99218b464c.html
@@vanillesosse I guess only from about #200 on you can have a living from that. Then it starts that you have to pay fo trainer and physiatrists - no income at all, but a lot of stress and tiring travelling.
@@vanillesosse Don't understand what you mean. It's rather a system problem, that many talents have not enough money to make it to the top, and the sport is in most cases left to the richer people who can afford that. What has that to do with envy?
+A. Wash they were already billed among the top female players. And the guy said he played like someone with lower ranking to make it more interesting. The unfair comparison according to him was that male players can chase down balls easier and put more spin on the ball that female players cant handle
Also, the sister first claim they can beat any male player rank lower than 200, after the defeat they adjusted the claim to outside 350. But the guy says no chance above 500
dragonage200 You're right that even at their peak, they would lose to the same guy. Both sisters would admit that. However, that doesn't mean the comparison is fair. They would've done better at their peaks--it doesn't matter if they were "billed" among the top female players. They had yet to reach their peaks.
She's having a common problem that happens when you play someone below your level. it takes time to adjust to their eccentricities, and its difficult to play your best shots against someone who has inconsistent depth/ spin etc. She has nice rolling ground strokes when she's able to use them.
@Dr Sanguine Sunrise ikr. Like whats the use of footwork and focus if youre just gonna complaint because youre opponent is weaker. That has gotta be the dumbest shit ive heard
I didn't think this guy was terrible. He had to creampuff his serve because of injury, but his strokes were decent for the most part. Plus, he was quick and agile. He recovered well to short balls and rallied with respectable consistency IMO.
Problem is the ability of both players was a bit oversold and here we are watching them on youtube. He's not horrible, but it's about the skill level of someone you can easily find playing at a local tennis club.
Let's just settle this once and for all and make all pro sports intramural and meritocratic. I had to wrestle girls in high school who wanted to join up, why don't tennis players, chess players, basketball players, and soccer players have to do the same? Probably, because just like in wrestling, women get destroyed at top tier competition. If you want to proclaim everyone is equal, then stop handling women with kid gloves.
@@Jared7628 His serve is pathetic, says it's due to a shoulder injury but he has zero spin on it, and his 2nd serve is like 30 mph push. She likely has the ranking due to winning a 1st round match somewhere and not much more.
@@andrewkoines6389 i was being specific to them, but i do think serving consistently will usually show the difference between the best amateur and worst pro.
Macall Harkins reached her peak ranking three years before this video was posted. She won 3 singles and 9 doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 27 September 2010, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 377. On 10 October 2011, she peaked at world number 222 in the doubles rankings. At the end of 2013 she was #656 singles and #275 doubles. At the end of 2014 she was not ranked in singles and was ranked #659 in doubles. (WTA)
The first few games of this match is a perfect illustration of how someone who grew up playing tennis from a young age can struggle against a less skilled, pusher, player. I've been there.
The most annoying thing ever, i sh*t u not, my issue was always Stamina and a good mentality, recently i worked on the mentality department, but still need to work on stamina, cause im tellin ya these pushers warn u down pretty badly stamina wise
ive been playing hs tennis for a month and these people are way better than me lmao. even if they arent as good as other people, watching this just makes me want to improve. just hoping i can improve throughout the years
I've been playing for around 7 months now and I'm about their skill level (a bit worse), but seeing them play makes me want to improve also. That is also why I often watch pro games because it helps me analyze my playstyle and technique.
@@LukasS0292 i mean if you want help with improving your game i think you should check out 2 minute tennis here on youtube he's been super helpful for me
I'm inclined to believe this guys rating definitely 4.0 and I'm not surprised he has a good win record, more than anything he's pretty consistent, has a simple but effective pusher game plan, throws a lot of junk and the occasional heater ( which is really annoying to play against since you end up second guessing a lot ). The pro is definitely better stroke wise but was more hot headed and committed errors she didn't need to. I guess she tried hitting thru him but he had pretty good retrieving skills
@@sambasambasamba6931 Would you say Camila Giorgi is like this? Or maybe her father is like this, making money off of her skill whilst keeping her at that level on purpose?
I have seen worse, and they didn't have a shoulder injury like he does(although not gonna lie this one armed guy we played against in high school has a better serve than this guy, yes a one armed guy played tennis, small school districts)
Honestly, he had some very impressive defensive shots. I think she was just caught off guard a bit with how well he was able to keep the ball deep while on the run. At the end of the day, it's not a ratings game as if it only comes down to the number. It's all about the ball.
I was a self taught tournament player for 15 years in the 80’s and 90’s. I played in lots of tournaments, and this guy is definitely on the low end of 4.0. At best.
If Nick learned to come forward to hit a ball instead of always going backwards and catching the ball at a low point, he'd be able to generate a lot more power.
I'm pretty sure this woman isn't professional standard (WTA tour level) and I would say the man is a beginner, no technique on serve backhand or forehand and playing no topspin or slice shots.
The reporter at the beginning said that the female is #737 in the world. So, comparing her to players hovering around 100 is unfair - it is expected that they all would blow her off the court. I agree that the guy is not a real 4.0 player, more like 3.5. My 4.0 teammates would give him double bagels. Ranking him as 2.5, though, is unjust (in my opinion) - 2.5 players are true beginners.
Heavy Balls and Moon Balls throw me off my groove too. You get less of those on tour. That's his distinct advantage. For example I play worse when I play my mom because she hits a lot of floaters. Hard to time the pace sometimes. Exactly what's happening with her.
Young age players like Monica Seles and Gabriela Sabatini just to name a few were winning matches against top ten women at the age of 14 , and kids like Nadal and wilander ,and many others ,doing the same thing on the men’s side at 15 , 16 . Don’t forget that Jimmy Connors at the end of his career bit Martina Navratilova in 2 sets and Jimmy played with only one serve and gave her the advantage of the doble’s court and still won the match !!!
No One these are not the strokes of a 4.5 player. My guess is that his region is pretty weak because he would be mid-level 3.5 in USTA Texas/South/Florida
If you ever get a chance... go to the US Open... and go to the outer courts.. .you can stand 20 feet away from them. You will appreciate them even more then.
@Based Bear I just went last year. I haven't said a word since. Saw Karen Khachonov up close. His forehand put fear in my heart🤣 Honestly the women too. I got to stand next to Venus and her coach on court 1 as she practiced, saw Danielle Collins too. No thanks lol! They'd whoop me in a heartbeat.
@radiohead2206 I hit a lot harder than this guy but his consistency is annoying. My least favourite player to play. Give me someone who hits properly any day.
She should be expected to beat him i dont know why all these feminists in the comment section are all making this such a big deal this just shows deep down that they know men are just better at sports
I'm not going to mention the serve due to his injury, but there seems to be two areas in particular that he needs to improve on. 1. Footwork. 2 Racket preparation. That second one seems to be a major issue in my opinion. He is hitting most balls late because he's not really preparing at all, and as a result there is very little backswing. It's resulting in a late contact and a weak ground stroke.
hirdy6 That's great man, keep doing your thing! I was really addressing this to people constantly hating saying "they suck" "why is she pro", stuff like that.
I'm far, I mean, FAR from being a professional tennis player, but I play twice a week, and I bet my car I won't get destroyed against the guy. People are saying 'is she a real pro' but look at her shot making, footwork and body balance. Don't forget that you play awkward against an awkward opponent.
John G Whoa dude, no need to be disrespectful to her name, that was rude. I get what you're saying; I currently play tennis, and I would most likely beat these guys. Sorry if I offended you or anything..
I am glad it was explained the situation for both of them. She probably was a little tired from playing a probably exhausting qualifying match. Shoulder surgery may explain his 2.0 pancake serve, his lateral skills and front court technique. Do another video when he is fully recovered and she is fresh. I will withhold judgment until then. 🤔
I'll wager she hasn't had to return this many moon balls in 10 years. When you're used to playing pros I think this might have you out of your element.
Darth Vader its the same idea, he just puts in with more spin and power with bicep strength. He wins tennis by getting away with own short balls and punishing opponent's short balls.
His serve actually leaves his racket at an upward angle before dropping over the net at about 22mph. I honestly think the lack of pace had the woman frazzled. But he’s good for only having played 4+ years.
I guess because they feel like it was way too competitive to be called destruction. On low levels like this even minor edges translate into clear results.
Watch his serve and then consider he won a couple games. He’s 32, at that age, the vast majority of pros are done. You can see his fitness isn’t there. For him to win any games means she got worked over.
She who is decent and played college, which is an incredible achievement and is ranked 737 which is insanely good, got broken (tennis term; not actually broken) by a man with no strokes.
He's a typical recreational player. Hes' obviously has never trained or been coached. It's bad tennis compared to players with real training but it's what you mostly see on the public courts every weekend.
I know this guy personally. He could probably beat the majority of you. By the way, he is now 4.5. Everyone judges his game until they play them.. then they get worked and they don't know what happened. I happen to be able to deal with it, but that's because I never underestimate it. I also have a good slice, overhead on both wings and a competent serve volley net game. That's how you have to beat him, because it's rarely going to happen at the baseline. He is a perfect example of Winning Ugly, the book by Brad Gilbert. You all judge, and I know the comments will continue to consistently talk negative, but I'd love to see you play him.
yeah thats true he is able to grind from baseline using moonballs. This sort of tactic can only be punished by top 300 players where they are able to flatten the ball easily.
I know this was 9 years ago but I hate how many people were shitting on him and calling him "3.0 at best". He was clearly hitting consistent balls with topspin, especially on his forehand, making her have to rally. If all of these commenters were to video themselves playing, they'd be humbled immediately.
Nick did well! He made a few more unforced errors as the match wined towards the 8th set but in the beginning he did very well. The difference is that the pro had gotten more consist in her strokes and made less errors as the match progress but Nick returned her serve well and was in the point and rally it out for 3 or 4 strokes. To be honest; the pro had a very weak serve even for the lady's game. Nice comparison.
Its both impressive that he was beating a pro at the start but also a good demonstration of the immense physical advantages we men have. You could see the difference in skill and endurance though as the match went on, she was clearly the better player. I would wager if this was on a pro court, with an audience, she would beat him with relative ease because he wouldnt be used to the circumstances and the pressure and would buckle, make more mistakes etc and thats where you seperate the pros from the amateurs, when the pressure is on and everyone is watching you.
I was wondering why HE was grunting lol.. and after what, the FIRST game. Bro are you tired already? or are you just trying that hard? idk which would be worse.
+steveh1010 Yeah the better your opponent the better you are, and you have a higher level of game. When I play people that suck it brings me down and out of my rhythm. I can't elevate to my highest level as I they cannot keep up. With higher level players I can warm up fast and play top tennis and not cool down because my opponent cannot keep a rally going.
Why should it be trying to prove something?..im sure any woman in the top 1000 would struggle to find competitive practice..why not avail of a male amateur
If the idea was to prove something, then it would prove that professional women and amateur men are pretty similar. But it isn't. And it doesn't prove that.
@@Sw499erB0iZ you are hugely misinterpreting what anyone has ever said. Nobody is claiming that all women will be beaten by all men. Some people are claiming that a man will be better than a woman at the same level of skill. It is just fact that the best men trounce the best women. What you are saying insinuates that if ANY woman beats ANY man, men and women are equal which is absurd.
@@gj4312 nah people say in general men beat women regardless and has nothing to do with training and/or skills but if a woman trains enough she can surely beat a man, so that argument can be put to rest.
For people who claim this guy can't play tennis (not a 4.0), you should record yourself playing tennis. Reality vs imagination. Everyone is a pro until they take a camera and start watching themselves play. I did, and I know what it's like. (I am a 4.0 player).
Thank you for saying what every reasonable person is thinking. All these 3.5's and 4.0s thinking they're hot shit would be horrified to see themselves play on camera if they think this guy is so bad. He honestly probably wins A LOT in 4.0
Keep in mind that the difference in level isn't as much about whether you can win two games out of ten, or whether you can play badly well enough to drag her level down, since that's what pushers do--especially when the stronger player isn't that excited about the match. What matters more is that he could play her a hundred times, and he'd lose a hundred times--and the losses would get worse and not better.
Very interesting match. After watching the first game, I thought the final score would be closer. He's a good athlete and competitor, you can tell, even though his strokes are unorthodox. He definitely looks self-taught. I have such a friend. He destroys me on the court, paints the corners, and has amazing touch even though he is self-taught and very unorthodox and looks like he's never had a lesson in his life. Yet, my strokes look JUST LIKE Federer's...at least in my mind they do. ;-)
🤔🤥🤥 this guy is probably on my level, and I’m no where near top 10,000 players in the world. Besides basic stroke and no control of the court, he has a lot worse serving than I do. With that said, I’m questioning the legitimacy of his 4.0
ThatAwkwardGuy He's playing injured. Also everyone looks alot slower in vids. Filming yourself can be pretty humbling. Definitely do it if you can. Pretty eye opening.
RS 7 anyone that plays tennis and isnt a pro is an amateur. you sound like an absolute moron that cares so much about his NTRP rating online, and tries to compare himself to others online. he also has a shoulder injury. please shut up and play the game.
Again, freeze it...(or send me your email and I'll send you the freeze-frame of the ball ON THE LINE). Besides, he was already behind it. He'd have called it out if it was.
Good to know you're open-minded enough to want to actually LOOK at the (up-sampled and interpolated to 60fps) video I have (which, when slowed-down, then frozen at 03:08/47 shows the ball contacting the line). I've even offered to SEND you the proof, but do you take me up on it? Nope, you just decide you're right without further investigation. Smart. You're the one that screwed up my last McDonald's order, aren't you?
I apologize but please DO NOT say that you're a 4.0 level player when you play like this guy. barely 2.5 , with a weak serve and only one strategy of pushing to the baseline , this is not a 4.0 level.
It is obvious she wasn't trying very hard, and apparently she had just played a competitive match this same day. Get real. Internet tennis dudes can be the worst.
Really? Why wouldn't she? Even if she didn't try it shouldn't even break a sweat to beat a amuture. She's played since she was a teen and your telling me it's not shameful to lose to someone who played for a year max??
baldy has no cardio , i think she won based on cardio and serve knowledge ,,,,, how amateur is amateur and how professional is pro thanks, good fun ,awesome topic
Remember when both Venus and Serena Williams said they could beat any man ranked below 500 or whatever and some dude ranked in the 700s spanked them both.
Ummmm, it was 203 get your facts straight. observer.theguardian.com/osm/story/0,,543962,00.html At any rate, yeah most touring professional male players in the modern era can at least hang with them if not beat them. But I bet most of the guys showing up here are just talking shit.
diesel828 Settle sparky no need to get all profane and shit. Just saying three things: 1. Hell yah they got beat. 2. There is a qualifiable difference between a top 200 player and a top 700 player. 3. Most of the guys shooting their mouths off in here are talking shit. Ciao.
Nice try, and they probably were quite a good match for each others' levels. I know a (male) youngster who got to about 400 in the ATP men's ranking. He told me he was frequently contracted by some of the top 10 ladies, and never ever lost a set against them (now talking about 5 years ago). Before I stopped playing due to a severe back injury, I was playing in the 6th and 7th leagues of our city's tennis league where I stay (it was 3rd team in our club), and the lady would've made our mixed doubles teams, but the gent wouldn't have been picked for the men's league third team.
His strokes may look like shit, but he's fast and plays great defense. Hard to get the ball past him and he gets the ball back high and deep without much pace. With that kind of game I bet he can wear down and beat a lot of 4.0s, even if at a quick glance he looks more like a 3.0...
Awesome video. Thanks for posting. I wanted to ask where this video was shot. The park looks beautiful. Open green space and clean tennis courts with smooth traffic.
I was going to ask "why" this video was shot. Is it another piece of feminist claptrap trying to say ooooh look. A woman beating a man. This would put it down at the level of the laughable Battle of the Sexes in 1973 between Bobby Riggs (then 55 yrs old) and Billie Jean King (then 29 yrs old). Does nothing shame these women. The best thing they can do on this subject is just keep quiet and hope the topic of conversation moves on to something else as quickly as possible.
Wow...Selinor, why all the hate. It's a simple video...and you're bringing up the King/Riggs match from 73? For you to infer this was created as some sort of Feminist propaganda tells everyone you have some other issues going on here.
+Selinor578 lol exactly as you've said there, it has the hidden agenda suggesting women are weaker than men that it takes a profession to beat an amateur. Why are you so fussed then? You see and suspect what you fear or feel insecure about, ever felt inferior to woman in your work place? Seems like it. It's women asking for EQUAL pay in tennis that triggered the so called battle of the sexes(publicity stunt),with WTA tour being such a huge success and catching so many eyeballs all over the world, I don't see why shouldn't female players be paid more like they're now
What did you expect to see? Serena our there not dropping a point at all? She’s pro but she’s not even close to the level of playing in a slam. And for the record, she did “clean his clock”. He played well though for someone clearly not trained in a club.
Of course you have to switch up your game; that's a fundamental part of tennis. Tennis is about your own game, of course, but it's also about adapting to your opponent. You have to anticipate where they are going to hit the ball, the depth of the shot, the width, the spin etc. When you're playing against really good players on the same level as yourself (like this girl in the video) you play in a similar style, so you become accustom to that way of playing. However when you play an amateurish player, you have to completely alter your style, your stance, positions on the course etc. This is all a key part to playing tennis - knowing your opponent. When I play against people of a similar standard to myself, or at least similar playing styles, then it comes second nature and I adapt and grow into the game much easier. However, if you put me against a completely different player (maybe of less experience) then I will struggle more so to adapt. Of course my better experience will probably overcome that player, but it's not as easy as it looks especially when you're used to playing a certain mould of players.
Roger Federer does that to journeyman in slams. He play ultra aggressive and trick shots against low ranked players to end quickly. Against higher rank playing beautiful will make him pay.
+JustsC00IGuy You should never try to adapt to your opponent. You always make your opponent adapt to you. That way you can change the game to your liking.
absolt very poor power position ( waiter position ), pushing the ball instead of swinging through it and bad weight transfer not to mention his weight transfer after the shot is to the left meaning he is getting less power through the ball as of the lost power to the side. In addition the bad footwork as u mentioned
Andro Santos still not an excuse for bad footwork, bad follow through, bad weight transfer and a bad power position. A injured shoulder should not affect the power position as there is little to no power going into the actual power position.
This is hard to watch when She’s got perfect technique but no tactic. And he’s got poor technique and better tactic than her. All she had to do was be more aggressive and come to the net ASAP and go for the kill.
That's totally spot on but I think her lack of a coordinated tactic comes from her having little confidence in her attacking shots which either end up in the net or long .... She's clearly playing with a very stiff but light racquet which requires far more racquet head speed to keep the ball in and her lack of confidence ends up in more tepid flat shots.
Once she stopped making so many mistakes and he got a bit tired. He was very good at chasing after her hits and she missed some pretty easy shots in the first few games. Then she got more consistent and he less so...
She is much more skilled and aggressive and knows how to attack the short ball. He is just trying to get everything back the best he can. I actually did this same experiment. I was a 4.5 player, and got on a tennis site and refused to play any girl under 6.0 and ended up playing someone who made it to the college division 1 Finals and almost won it all. She was really good, and was actually up on me very early in the match, but I came back to win in the end. It was actually a lot of fun! So thankful for women in the world otherwise life would get pretty boring!
The girl is ranked 737, hardly a pro.
The Williams sisters once claimed they could beat any male player outside the top 200. They then played against Karsten Braasch (ranked 203), a guy at the end of his underachieving career. He beat them 6-1 (Serena) and 6-2 (Venus). Admittedly, they were at the beginning of their careers but these results are still quite a statement. They then announced they would surely beat a guy outside the top 300 to which Braasch respodended they should just wait a couple of months for a re-match - until then he'll have lost enough points.
World rank of 737 is quite an achievement, but this girl is playing like she's ranked outside the top 2000
I remember that. Thanks for pointing out that Venus and Serena were at the beginning of their careers and hadn't fully harnessed the arsenal that they would later display.
Serana said she couldn't beat her coach who was 50 at the time.
Rank 203 is quite an achievement, I am probably ranked 1million if I count the entire world that plays tennis and I am a 4.5
Let's see you get to 737 in the world then make comments.
This might just be me, but sometimes I find it harder to play with someone who is worse skill wise? Their shots are so unpredictable 😂

srsly wtf is going on here? the 15 year old girls in my residential community plays better than her, and the guy has no technique whatsoever, i dont understand how is he 4.0
Yes, he looks more like one of those 3.5 guys who can have success in singles because they can keep the ball in play. I know he had shoulder issues, so I'll forgive the serve and the service motion, but his backhand generally lacked any form. He was just blocking it far too much for a competitive 4.0 player in the leagues I play in. Maybe his league isn't as competitive.
You have to say that you consider yourself a woman and then you are ready to be the best "female" player of all time.😂👏
Yeah there’s no way in hell he’s a 4.0. If he’s 4.0 I’m Djokovic.
Don’t know why but laughed so hard at this
of course. He even dont get the right severing and made lots of double fault
I think he meant 4.0 when talking about drinking and smoking weed.
Sorry but what a 4.0 ?

Wow he’s pretty old and took a long break from tennis he’s actually pretty good if he practiced more he could have easily vested her with plus his server and everything is really consistent
You obviously didn’t read description he’s injured
@@logan52s36 i know it bugs me
@@logan52s36 He could have served underhand and it would have been faster than what he did. Also... horrible serving motion which is prolly why he got an injury.
20mph or 0.20mph?
3:08 that’s clearly out 😂
Yep. It sure was.
Challenge!!!

Lol
Lol I thought maybe I was going crazy
I honestly expected better from the female. Edit: god damn 1.6K why some u guys pressed if she “pro” she gotta make something with that title
@B1ODIN Pova will crush that men, cause she hits harder than him. Lol
@@netgodzilla4477 I think there was once a game between the best pro females (Williams sisters) and #203 of male players and the male player crushed the female players and said: ""They wouldn't have had a chance against anyone inside the top 500 because today I played like someone ranked 600th to keep it fun,"
So yeah, female athletes have no chance even against mediocre pro male athletes

@@vanillesosse I guess only from about #200 on you can have a living from that. Then it starts that you have to pay fo trainer and physiatrists - no income at all, but a lot of stress and tiring travelling.
@@Alyssasrealm if shes enjoying it still whats the problem? Envy time?
@@vanillesosse Don't understand what you mean. It's rather a system problem, that many talents have not enough money to make it to the top, and the sport is in most cases left to the richer people who can afford that. What has that to do with envy?
Serena and Venus Williams were trounced 6-1, 6-2 by a guy who was ranked 203 when they played.
+dragonage200 They were also extremely young. Not to say they would beat him now, but it certainly isn't a fair comparison.
+A. Wash they were already billed among the top female players. And the guy said he played like someone with lower ranking to make it more interesting. The unfair comparison according to him was that male players can chase down balls easier and put more spin on the ball that female players cant handle
Also, the sister first claim they can beat any male player rank lower than 200, after the defeat they adjusted the claim to outside 350. But the guy says no chance above 500
dragonage200 You're right that even at their peak, they would lose to the same guy. Both sisters would admit that.
However, that doesn't mean the comparison is fair. They would've done better at their peaks--it doesn't matter if they were "billed" among the top female players. They had yet to reach their peaks.
+dragonage200 They would now as well, it´s not the same ball game. The ball speed and tempo makes a big difference.
She's having a common problem that happens when you play someone below your level. it takes time to adjust to their eccentricities, and its difficult to play your best shots against someone who has inconsistent depth/ spin etc. She has nice rolling ground strokes when she's able to use them.
blablabla blah your totally right
You play your best against good people
Didn't look like the guy varied spin like a 4.0 would do. Looked like he was warming up / rallying.
@@ttv_m_a_s_k_3_d303 It wouldn't end well if she played against a Male pro lol
@Dr Sanguine Sunrise ikr. Like whats the use of footwork and focus if youre just gonna complaint because youre opponent is weaker. That has gotta be the dumbest shit ive heard
I didn't think this guy was terrible. He had to creampuff his serve because of injury, but his strokes were decent for the most part. Plus, he was quick and agile. He recovered well to short balls and rallied with respectable consistency IMO.
Problem is the ability of both players was a bit oversold and here we are watching them on youtube. He's not horrible, but it's about the skill level of someone you can easily find playing at a local tennis club.
He did not seem to know how to create a winning position, he just looped the balls into the middle.
Any chance you are related?
Let's just settle this once and for all and make all pro sports intramural and meritocratic. I had to wrestle girls in high school who wanted to join up, why don't tennis players, chess players, basketball players, and soccer players have to do the same?
Probably, because just like in wrestling, women get destroyed at top tier competition. If you want to proclaim everyone is equal, then stop handling women with kid gloves.
KingOfGames yeah but biologically it takes them more effort to do each set than it does for men.
skeetorkiftwon agreed. Let everyone have their fair shot at what sport they love. Regardless of gender. Especially TENNIS!
KingOfGames seriously? I didn’t know that. Hmmmm
AyeeeItsNaomi ! Idk about an “unfair” “advantage” we are different by birth NOT choice. Why is everyone up in arms over this?
Perpetual Joker seems to mean it's not unfair. Some would say a biological advantage isn't unfair, it just is.

Nah they better than it seems. U can't tell this angle but the ball is moving fast
@@Jared7628 His serve is pathetic, says it's due to a shoulder injury but he has zero spin on it, and his 2nd serve is like 30 mph push. She likely has the ranking due to winning a 1st round match somewhere and not much more.
@@basedbear1605 its average for a amateur tho? Like personally opponents i play spin it when they serve but its not terrible
The ability to serve consistently really is the biggest difference between the pro and amateur.

@@mikesannitti6042 Ahh, sorry. I misread your comment. I thought it read, "between a pro and amateur".
@@andrewkoines6389 i was being specific to them, but i do think serving consistently will usually show the difference between the best amateur and worst pro.

Dylan Bohuchot No I tried and he ran over my toes and took my wallet
So your title should have read Tennis: Female Pro vs. Amateur Male with a shoulder injury
The first few games of this match is a perfect illustration of how someone who grew up playing tennis from a young age can struggle against a less skilled, pusher, player. I've been there.
The most annoying thing ever, i sh*t u not, my issue was always Stamina and a good mentality, recently i worked on the mentality department, but still need to work on stamina, cause im tellin ya these pushers warn u down pretty badly stamina wise
The biggest differences between the pro female and amateur male is serving
@@yangwarren9954You mean this guy was serving?
ive been playing hs tennis for a month and these people are way better than me lmao. even if they arent as good as other people, watching this just makes me want to improve. just hoping i can improve throughout the years
hows it going ?
I've been playing for around 7 months now and I'm about their skill level (a bit worse), but seeing them play makes me want to improve also. That is also why I often watch pro games because it helps me analyze my playstyle and technique.
@@LukasS0292 i mean if you want help with improving your game i think you should check out 2 minute tennis here on youtube he's been super helpful for me
Tennis fucking sucks start young or don’t start at all if you want to be competitive. Bye.
You can beat any woman by now
I'm inclined to believe this guys rating definitely 4.0 and I'm not surprised he has a good win record, more than anything he's pretty consistent, has a simple but effective pusher game plan, throws a lot of junk and the occasional heater ( which is really annoying to play against since you end up second guessing a lot ). The pro is definitely better stroke wise but was more hot headed and committed errors she didn't need to. I guess she tried hitting thru him but he had pretty good retrieving skills

He has a shoulder injury...
LMA UK mine is worst then again I’ve only ever played in gym class
I have seen worse, and they didn't have a shoulder injury like he does(although not gonna lie this one armed guy we played against in high school has a better serve than this guy, yes a one armed guy played tennis, small school districts)
He's injured
Not just you...
That was a waste of 18 minutes

You know, you could have stopped watching after 20 seconds. No need to "waste" your time for 18 min, right?
Whos?
yes

If he’s a 4.0 I’m a 5.5+ and well on my way. Good lord.
Matt Goss in utr?
what's ur utr, 13.5+ lol
He had a shoulder injury.
If hes a 4.0 i am 7.0, and i have never played tennis in my life
@kauz it tells how high you are
Honestly, he had some very impressive defensive shots. I think she was just caught off guard a bit with how well he was able to keep the ball deep while on the run. At the end of the day, it's not a ratings game as if it only comes down to the number. It's all about the ball.
I was a self taught tournament player for 15 years in the 80’s and 90’s. I played in lots of tournaments, and this guy is definitely on the low end of 4.0. At best.
He's on the low end of 3.5 with a 2.5 - 3.0 serve
he may have been nervous
so this is the standard to be a pro...
Lol, makes me think I should've gotten into tennis
No, raking around 700 doesn't make you a pro since you cannot make a living out of it. Try more like in the top 50 for women.
For a female yea. Any average hobbyist male would easily be a female "pro"
The new rankings system means she would be unranked
Odesu top 700 out of a couple hundred thousand makes u a pro for sure
I remember even Chris Everett saying that she never won a set off her brother who was just a very good amateur.
+steve Fowler Evert*
He was pretty good but she wore him down. When you play and practice as much as a pro you are well conditioned and have more experience in situations
If Nick learned to come forward to hit a ball instead of always going backwards and catching the ball at a low point, he'd be able to generate a lot more power.
That lady is bad for a pro.. that guy is a good beginner.
4.0 is not beginner. But that guy would get destroyed by a 4.0. He is a 3.0.
I'm pretty sure this woman isn't professional standard (WTA tour level) and I would say the man is a beginner, no technique on serve backhand or forehand and playing no topspin or slice shots.
The reporter at the beginning said that the female is #737 in the world. So, comparing her to players hovering around 100 is unfair - it is expected that they all would blow her off the court. I agree that the guy is not a real 4.0 player, more like 3.5. My 4.0 teammates would give him double bagels. Ranking him as 2.5, though, is unjust (in my opinion) - 2.5 players are true beginners.
I would put him at 3.5 because although he has poor technique he will beat 3.0 on tenacity alone. He was pretty tenacious getting to balls
@Elmer Fudd
Read the description. He had a shoulder surgery.
*****
I think he volunteered himself.
flash012234 even if I was in a wheelchair I think id still be able to strike my forehand better :D
Heavy Balls and Moon Balls throw me off my groove too. You get less of those on tour. That's his distinct advantage. For example I play worse when I play my mom because she hits a lot of floaters. Hard to time the pace sometimes. Exactly what's happening with her.
When you get to a certain level you learn how to abuse these low level players though it should honestly only throw you off for a game or so.
am I the only one that saw the shot at 3:09 out?

***** ah man that was WAY OUT! Check it out at .25x speed

I'm sure her injury is that she's a female , right 😉
OneZombieKiller *His* injury not 'her'....
Have her play the734th ranked male in world. 6-1 6-2- HIM
That serve would get eaten alive by 4.0s. No way is he a 4.0. His stroke mechanics are awful. Has he ever taken a lesson.
He's a pusher, though. I could see him junking matches up and producing wins by frustrating his opponent.
well if your read the description you would understand he has an injury. but yes you are right, any 4.5-4.0 would crush those serves
Emil Guzman it’s not a fitness issue, the problem is the technique. There is no way this guy played high school tennis.
great point
Read the description, his labrum was torn..
Young age players like Monica Seles and Gabriela Sabatini just to name a few were winning matches against top ten women at the age of 14 , and kids like Nadal and wilander ,and many others ,doing the same thing on the men’s side at 15 , 16 . Don’t forget that Jimmy Connors at the end of his career bit Martina Navratilova in 2 sets and Jimmy played with only one serve and gave her the advantage of the doble’s court and still won the match !!!

Yep pretty sure that was out by quite a bit!
I saw it as in.
Very much on line. Probably just the cam fov

It was way out.
Where did he get his NTRP rating? My guess...he didn't get it from anywhere because he is definitely NOT 4.5.
Read description
No One these are not the strokes of a 4.5 player. My guess is that his region is pretty weak because he would be mid-level 3.5 in USTA Texas/South/Florida

@Based Bear I just went last year. I haven't said a word since. Saw Karen Khachonov up close. His forehand put fear in my heart🤣
Honestly the women too. I got to stand next to Venus and her coach on court 1 as she practiced, saw Danielle Collins too. No thanks lol! They'd whoop me in a heartbeat.
I play amateur and can manage 120 MPH Serve easy. This guy needs protein.
@radiohead2206 I hit a lot harder than this guy but his consistency is annoying. My least favourite player to play. Give me someone who hits properly any day.

I'm not going to mention the serve due to his injury, but there seems to be two areas in particular that he needs to improve on. 1. Footwork. 2 Racket preparation. That second one seems to be a major issue in my opinion. He is hitting most balls late because he's not really preparing at all, and as a result there is very little backswing. It's resulting in a late contact and a weak ground stroke.
ok
Cannot agree more!
who cares?
he just sucks ass. nothing to analyze
to make matters worse she lost 2 games against him.

Will show respect but to be completely honest, I would not right myself off against either of them. And I am a very ordinary weekend player.
hirdy6 That's great man, keep doing your thing! I was really addressing this to people constantly hating saying "they suck" "why is she pro", stuff like that.
Neoking She does suck, for a pro, I play with girls who haven't made it to pro yet and they are a lot better
I'm far, I mean, FAR from being a professional tennis player, but I play twice a week, and I bet my car I won't get destroyed against the guy. People are saying 'is she a real pro' but look at her shot making, footwork and body balance. Don't forget that you play awkward against an awkward opponent.

So exciting, I had to watch the video twice.
I am glad it was explained the situation for both of them. She probably was a little tired from playing a probably exhausting qualifying match. Shoulder surgery may explain his 2.0 pancake serve, his lateral skills and front court technique. Do another video when he is fully recovered and she is fresh. I will withhold judgment until then. 🤔
I play high school tennis and tbh even I would have a pretty good shot against her
Sai 579 thought the same thing
me too lmao i’m 1 singles
Half my team would beat her no doubt lol, and we are only 3/4 singles
She wasn’t playing horrible but she could still be beat with raw strength alone
I also play high school tennis and I can beat both of them. Usually I play doubles but I’m not bad at singles.
I'll wager she hasn't had to return this many moon balls in 10 years. When you're used to playing pros I think this might have you out of your element.
bobice555 I was being generous ;)
bobice555 read the description...shoulder injury.
Its extraordinary Nadal's moonballs work, he take this idea from table tennis and amateur courts.
***** lmao you're really comparing Nadal's shots to this guy's?
Darth Vader its the same idea, he just puts in with more spin and power with bicep strength. He wins tennis by getting away with own short balls and punishing opponent's short balls.
His serve actually leaves his racket at an upward angle before dropping over the net at about 22mph. I honestly think the lack of pace had the woman frazzled. But he’s good for only having played 4+ years.
She destroyed him why are the comments acting like she didn't lol
I guess because they feel like it was way too competitive to be called destruction. On low levels like this even minor edges translate into clear results.
Watch his serve and then consider he won a couple games. He’s 32, at that age, the vast majority of pros are done. You can see his fitness isn’t there.
For him to win any games means she got worked over.
She's decent, but he is just all sorts of bad. I'd like to see her play against a better opponent to see her actual skill level.
She who is decent and played college, which is an incredible achievement and is ranked 737 which is insanely good, got broken (tennis term; not actually broken) by a man with no strokes.
ranked 737 she better get a real job unless she's top 100 it's useless
She's playing a sport she loves. How is that useless?
He's a typical recreational player. Hes' obviously has never trained or been coached. It's bad tennis compared to players with real training but it's what you mostly see on the public courts every weekend.
obviously you didn't read the title
I know this guy personally. He could probably beat the majority of you. By the way, he is now 4.5. Everyone judges his game until they play them.. then they get worked and they don't know what happened. I happen to be able to deal with it, but that's because I never underestimate it. I also have a good slice, overhead on both wings and a competent serve volley net game. That's how you have to beat him, because it's rarely going to happen at the baseline. He is a perfect example of Winning Ugly, the book by Brad Gilbert. You all judge, and I know the comments will continue to consistently talk negative, but I'd love to see you play him.
yeah thats true he is able to grind from baseline using moonballs. This sort of tactic can only be punished by top 300 players where they are able to flatten the ball easily.
Abnn Agsm that is complete bullshit you know nothing about tennis
MultiToxicapple not bullshit, the challengers level of tennis is not far.
I know this was 9 years ago but I hate how many people were shitting on him and calling him "3.0 at best". He was clearly hitting consistent balls with topspin, especially on his forehand, making her have to rally. If all of these commenters were to video themselves playing, they'd be humbled immediately.
Nick did well!
He made a few more unforced errors as the match wined towards the 8th set but in the beginning he did very well. The difference is that the pro had gotten more consist in her strokes and made less errors as the match progress but Nick returned her serve well and was in the point and rally it out for 3 or 4 strokes. To be honest; the pro had a very weak serve even for the lady's game. Nice comparison.
Its both impressive that he was beating a pro at the start but also a good demonstration of the immense physical advantages we men have. You could see the difference in skill and endurance though as the match went on, she was clearly the better player.
I would wager if this was on a pro court, with an audience, she would beat him with relative ease because he wouldnt be used to the circumstances and the pressure and would buckle, make more mistakes etc and thats where you seperate the pros from the amateurs, when the pressure is on and everyone is watching you.
Tell that to Somone biles lol
why wasn't the girl yelling when she hit the ball.
Sargon Oshana She started to towards the end of the match
This is true only real pro tennis players grunt and scream!
Not all tennis player can grunt
I was wondering why HE was grunting lol.. and after what, the FIRST game. Bro are you tired already? or are you just trying that hard? idk which would be worse.
female pro? should i laugh now or later?
She's actually not bad at all. Sometimes it's difficult playing someone that's isn't that good, if that makes any sense.
+Space Lion you don't understand the game.
+steveh1010 Yeah the better your opponent the better you are, and you have a higher level of game. When I play people that suck it brings me down and out of my rhythm. I can't elevate to my highest level as I they cannot keep up. With higher level players I can warm up fast and play top tennis and not cool down because my opponent cannot keep a rally going.
+sirbrad4 totally dude. You are so right.
+Whatever I will tell you what's true. Make sure you let me know before you have your next opinion and I will let you know if you are wrong again.
Not sure what this was supposed to prove. Match her against the 700+ male in professional tennis and see where that goes.
Why should it be trying to prove something?..im sure any woman in the top 1000 would struggle to find competitive practice..why not avail of a male amateur
If the idea was to prove something, then it would prove that professional women and amateur men are pretty similar. But it isn't. And it doesn't prove that.
Proves women can beat men with training and skills... a woman just beat a man, but I thought that doesn’t happen ??
@@Sw499erB0iZ you are hugely misinterpreting what anyone has ever said. Nobody is claiming that all women will be beaten by all men. Some people are claiming that a man will be better than a woman at the same level of skill. It is just fact that the best men trounce the best women. What you are saying insinuates that if ANY woman beats ANY man, men and women are equal which is absurd.
@@gj4312 nah people say in general men beat women regardless and has nothing to do with training and/or skills but if a woman trains enough she can surely beat a man, so that argument can be put to rest.
For people who claim this guy can't play tennis (not a 4.0), you should record yourself playing tennis. Reality vs imagination. Everyone is a pro until they take a camera and start watching themselves play. I did, and I know what it's like. (I am a 4.0 player).
Thank you for saying what every reasonable person is thinking. All these 3.5's and 4.0s thinking they're hot shit would be horrified to see themselves play on camera if they think this guy is so bad. He honestly probably wins A LOT in 4.0
His serve had me ROLLING 🤣
😂
Keep in mind that the difference in level isn't as much about whether you can win two games out of ten, or whether you can play badly well enough to drag her level down, since that's what pushers do--especially when the stronger player isn't that excited about the match. What matters more is that he could play her a hundred times, and he'd lose a hundred times--and the losses would get worse and not better.

Very interesting match. After watching the first game, I thought the final score would be closer. He's a good athlete and competitor, you can tell, even though his strokes are unorthodox. He definitely looks self-taught. I have such a friend. He destroys me on the court, paints the corners, and has amazing touch even though he is self-taught and very unorthodox and looks like he's never had a lesson in his life. Yet, my strokes look JUST LIKE Federer's...at least in my mind they do. ;-)
🤔🤥🤥 this guy is probably on my level, and I’m no where near top 10,000 players in the world. Besides basic stroke and no control of the court, he has a lot worse serving than I do. With that said, I’m questioning the legitimacy of his 4.0

Again, freeze it...(or send me your email and I'll send you the freeze-frame of the ball ON THE LINE).
Besides, he was already behind it. He'd have called it out if it was.
Andrew Ryder
Man, it doesent chance a thing if you have decided that its on the line, you can see it from video that its not. :D End of the story.
Good to know you're open-minded enough to want to actually LOOK at the (up-sampled and interpolated to 60fps) video I have (which, when slowed-down, then frozen at 03:08/47 shows the ball contacting the line).
I've even offered to SEND you the proof, but do you take me up on it?
Nope, you just decide you're right without further investigation. Smart.
You're the one that screwed up my last McDonald's order, aren't you?
I apologize but please DO NOT say that you're a 4.0 level player when you play like this guy. barely 2.5 , with a weak serve and only one strategy of pushing to the baseline , this is not a 4.0 level.
he has an injured shoulder, so thats why his serve was off
It is obvious she wasn't trying very hard, and apparently she had just played a competitive match this same day. Get real.
Internet tennis dudes can be the worst.
Everyone saying “She’s not a pro, blah blah blah.”
She’s not trying very hard.
Really? Why wouldn't she? Even if she didn't try it shouldn't even break a sweat to beat a amuture. She's played since she was a teen and your telling me it's not shameful to lose to someone who played for a year max??
@@rocketpencil5948 she lost?
@@rocketpencil59481. He played for 9 years.
2. She won 8-2
baldy has no cardio , i think she won based on cardio and serve knowledge ,,,,, how amateur is amateur and how professional is pro
thanks, good fun ,awesome topic
Remember when both Venus and Serena Williams said they could beat any man ranked below 500 or whatever and some dude ranked in the 700s spanked them both.
Ummmm, it was 203 get your facts straight. observer.theguardian.com/osm/story/0,,543962,00.html
At any rate, yeah most touring professional male players in the modern era can at least hang with them if not beat them. But I bet most of the guys showing up here are just talking shit.
Christopher King Meh, how the fuck was I supposed to remember something I read 16 years ago? Point is, those arrogant bitches got beat.
diesel828 Settle sparky no need to get all profane and shit. Just saying three things:
1. Hell yah they got beat.
2. There is a qualifiable difference between a top 200 player and a top 700 player.
3. Most of the guys shooting their mouths off in here are talking shit.
Ciao.
203 is not top 200.
Yeah? Well, 203 is not top 200, okay?
Nice try, and they probably were quite a good match for each others' levels. I know a (male) youngster who got to about 400 in the ATP men's ranking. He told me he was frequently contracted by some of the top 10 ladies, and never ever lost a set against them (now talking about 5 years ago). Before I stopped playing due to a severe back injury, I was playing in the 6th and 7th leagues of our city's tennis league where I stay (it was 3rd team in our club), and the lady would've made our mixed doubles teams, but the gent wouldn't have been picked for the men's league third team.
Can we give him props for recording this in 1080p in 2013?
They both make the game look so difficult 😢
It is difficult
Haha amateur
The real pros make it look easy.
That's because it is.
Wait, that guy is a 4.0? Not possible.
if that is a 4.0, then I am ready for move up to 5.5....
Exactly, not 4.0.
was thinking the exact same thing, he is 3.5 at best
I wouldn't even say three fives my dad is a 3.5 and he would kill this guy.
His strokes may look like shit, but he's fast and plays great defense. Hard to get the ball past him and he gets the ball back high and deep without much pace. With that kind of game I bet he can wear down and beat a lot of 4.0s, even if at a quick glance he looks more like a 3.0...
he's more of a 3.5 with a 3.0 serve
Ben Tj, His serve is because of his injury.
Agree
This dude got no backhand to speak of, he legit just puts his racket there and hope for the best.
He doesn't hit well but his timing and consistency is solid. You couldn't get that from just a few months of playing.
Awesome video. Thanks for posting.
I wanted to ask where this video was shot. The park looks beautiful. Open green space and clean tennis courts with smooth traffic.
+Kevin P Portland OR
+VolleyCam is this next to cedar hills blvd? near the dmv?
I was going to ask "why" this video was shot. Is it another piece of feminist claptrap trying to say ooooh look. A woman beating a man. This would put it down at the level of the laughable Battle of the Sexes in 1973 between Bobby Riggs (then 55 yrs old) and Billie Jean King (then 29 yrs old). Does nothing shame these women. The best thing they can do on this subject is just keep quiet and hope the topic of conversation moves on to something else as quickly as possible.
Wow...Selinor, why all the hate. It's a simple video...and you're bringing up the King/Riggs match from 73? For you to infer this was created as some sort of Feminist propaganda tells everyone you have some other issues going on here.
+Selinor578
lol exactly as you've said there, it has the hidden agenda suggesting women are weaker than men that it takes a profession to beat an amateur. Why are you so fussed then? You see and suspect what you fear or feel insecure about, ever felt inferior to woman in your work place? Seems like it. It's women asking for EQUAL pay in tennis that triggered the so called battle of the sexes(publicity stunt),with WTA tour being such a huge success and catching so many eyeballs all over the world, I don't see why shouldn't female players be paid more like they're now
What's with his lolly-pop serve?
*WTF.. Adding 'Pro' doesn't make you one.. Just like adding 'Dr.' doesnt mean you are the real deal*
I'm a love Doctor!!
What about Dr. J? Man could he operate on the court!!
If she lives her life by winning matches in competition and nothing else, then she is a pro.
She should have cleaned his clock if she actually earns money playing tennis.
8-2. She sorta did tbh
.......idk what 8-2 Scoreline means to you if it isn’t cleaning a clock
She forgot to polish her thumbprint from the winder.
What did you expect to see? Serena our there not dropping a point at all? She’s pro but she’s not even close to the level of playing in a slam. And for the record, she did “clean his clock”. He played well though for someone clearly not trained in a club.
i mean i you don’t think 8-2 is “cleaning the clock” than idk
With amauters you really have to change up your game. Things you never do as a pro you have to do w/ amateurs.
How do you change up your game besides DOMINATE?
Of course you have to switch up your game; that's a fundamental part of tennis.
Tennis is about your own game, of course, but it's also about adapting to your opponent. You have to anticipate where they are going to hit the ball, the depth of the shot, the width, the spin etc. When you're playing against really good players on the same level as yourself (like this girl in the video) you play in a similar style, so you become accustom to that way of playing. However when you play an amateurish player, you have to completely alter your style, your stance, positions on the course etc. This is all a key part to playing tennis - knowing your opponent.
When I play against people of a similar standard to myself, or at least similar playing styles, then it comes second nature and I adapt and grow into the game much easier. However, if you put me against a completely different player (maybe of less experience) then I will struggle more so to adapt. Of course my better experience will probably overcome that player, but it's not as easy as it looks especially when you're used to playing a certain mould of players.
Roger Federer does that to journeyman in slams. He play ultra aggressive and trick shots against low ranked players to end quickly. Against higher rank playing beautiful will make him pay.
+JustsC00IGuy You should never try to adapt to your opponent. You always make your opponent adapt to you. That way you can change the game to your liking.
She moans like a pro...
Misleading video title really. If his record is 30/4 at 4.0, he's clearly much stronger than 4.0.....
Marco Campos If they played again, I think she'd annihilate him since she'd now be dialed in to the conditions and his weird moonball-ish shots.
He has awful serve technique. If he worked on that he could really up his game. A bad serve allows the opponent to attack your shot
But what’s bad about his serve technique.I only found one (was his feet and he doesn’t use the tip on the serve)
Matthew Takeuchi really😒
absolt very poor power position ( waiter position ), pushing the ball instead of swinging through it and bad weight transfer not to mention his weight transfer after the shot is to the left meaning he is getting less power through the ball as of the lost power to the side. In addition the bad footwork as u mentioned
Andro Santos still not an excuse for bad footwork, bad follow through, bad weight transfer and a bad power position. A injured shoulder should not affect the power position as there is little to no power going into the actual power position.
A M did I stutter?
She doesn’t play like a pro, this is clickbait.
This is hard to watch when She’s got perfect technique but no tactic. And he’s got poor technique and better tactic than her. All she had to do was be more aggressive and come to the net ASAP and go for the kill.
That's totally spot on but I think her lack of a coordinated tactic comes from her having little confidence in her attacking shots which either end up in the net or long .... She's clearly playing with a very stiff but light racquet which requires far more racquet head speed to keep the ball in and her lack of confidence ends up in more tepid flat shots.
Once she figured him out, she beat his ass.
His "serve" was a joke. 4.0 must mean nothing in ATP now.
Once she stopped making so many mistakes and he got a bit tired. He was very good at chasing after her hits and she missed some pretty easy shots in the first few games. Then she got more consistent and he less so...
@@JasonRennie she sucked though lmao. I would not even give her a set ffs
@Soc1alBK it's slow af but consistent.
She is much more skilled and aggressive and knows how to attack the short ball. He is just trying to get everything back the best he can. I actually did this same experiment. I was a 4.5 player, and got on a tennis site and refused to play any girl under 6.0 and ended up playing someone who made it to the college division 1 Finals and almost won it all. She was really good, and was actually up on me very early in the match, but I came back to win in the end. It was actually a lot of fun! So thankful for women in the world otherwise life would get pretty boring!
