Glad to see your game is more confident and agressive. Thats the way to go. If i were you i would work hard on the slice. Normally on this level a slice is not a weapon. A good slice is a game changer and can make a difference in many situations.
Just shows how insanely difficult it is to get the top. Watching these guys play for one ATP point and all I can think is WOW. The skillsets and athleticism are remarkable even at this level.
great match Felix! taking a 500 ATP to a third set and almost winning is incredible! i feel you just need to work on closing those points, and i got to admit i'm jealous of how easily you strike the ball, i mean i practice it in training and get it but in matches i seem to have trouble letting loose and miss almost every time! Continue to work hard it is paying off!
just do not overhit it. secret of pro tennis is have a margin of error available in your shots. Felix could surely strike it even harder but he does not do it, cause he would miss too many of his shots. control is more important than power. once you get control and a good technique you just hit it a little harder
All good man, I'm glad you kept pushing even though things were bleak after the second set tie break. It's the way we all know sports goes, momentum swings and the other side is ahead. Good year all in all! Wish I had experience editing I would love to help! I need a secondary income at home too 😂
Man i loved your playing style. Watching you for two years now and it's so fun, exciting and interesting to witness your development into a real pro. Unbeliveable what it takes to get at ATP lvl. But you did. See you on Eurosport 😊. And happy new year all!!!
Nahhh my boy, we all felt that ball. Those who don't miss, don't even play tennis. Keep grinding, I've been watching your journey closely and your improvement is notorious and remarkable. Well played. Remember, even if you lose the game, you always win something. Gotta find the victories on the defeats.
Sorry about the injury Felix. However, I see now a direct correlation between your confidence and wins. You played incredibly well. The more we learn in the beginning, the better we become in the future. Cheers, M
My dude I am so proud of you, the difference on your game from a year ago is amazing, you are doing great work, I love the self belief even more, keep it up hey, you are on your way 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hey Felix, A very Happy New Year It has been incredible to say the least, seeing the eevolution of your tennis from 2 years back It is a treat to watch improving your strengths and adding new aspects to your game, The loss was definately really toigh being match point up it definately hurts, but the fact you anihlated a top 500 pro in the first set and gave him a run in the second and also the qualifying match against the italian guy shows the increase in your level winning scores like 6-2,6-4 with double breaks or breaking back keep it up man
Felix, your game has gone through the roof the past few months and the level in this match was very high indeed. You now look like a genuine pro tennis player in terms of level and its just the fine details and experience that will take you to top 500 and beyond. I wish you much success in 2024👍💪
I love your videos Felix! Hopefully u get in to the ITF's in the Rafa Nadal Academy! I saw you on alternates. I'm 15 years old and I train there!! Big improvement this 2023!🎉
This match showed that you are capable of playing at high levels of tennis. Keep working hard, gain more experience, and you will be winning tournaments in no time!
The physical part of playing at the highest level has got to be the biggest stepping stone in order to make it. You both can play very well, you just need that extra gear to hold in the match and keep the level high until the end. When the body is struggling, the injury lingers not far behind. Good game, really enjoyed the level of this match.
GG man, keep pushing it! It's really fun seeing you play some of these Dutch players, Rik Muller I have also played against. Who knows, maybe we will even face off one day as well. Good luck getting those ATP points!
I feel your game is there to beat at least any ATP 300. Your mental game is also improving a whole lot. I like the way you mentioned "game identity" of being aggressive. It's the braver one who's going to win at those key points. Let's go!
You think so?? Maybe his mental game is on point in the moment, but in these reviews, he is just thinking way to much. Not enough process oriented in my opinion.
You don’t realise how much I’m rooting for you. That guy just out lasted you mentally. There was literally no difference. Between the ears. You’ve got this. Smash it
2023 has been a great year Felix! From coming back from surgery to getting your first singles ATP point to playing absolutely toe to toe with a top 500 player at the end of the year. 2024 will be exciting for sure! Top 1000 definitely seems like a very realistic goal! Let's go! 😎🎾 Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🥳
Within striking distance! It's always a tough change mentally when shifting towards a more aggressive playstyle, but this is a solid first step to feeling comfortable going for it in high pressure situations! Great job,! Excited to see what 2024 brings you!
I played with Zidane in Crete and he can be a top 100 player if he learns the inner game of tennis because he has it all. And you did great up until match point. You are getting closer each month and now you have to truly BELIEVE that you are a top 100 player. Right now. In the mind. The body will follow…happy new year Felix from Crete 🇬🇷🎾🥳🏆
5-1, 40-30 point where you hit a deep backhand to his backhand corner after pulling him to forehand is your best so far. Nice Clean game Felix. Well Done mate. your mental fortitude has improved but it still needs work. now remember to drill into your mind, how you played in the first set, and uptown the middle of second set, and upto 5-5 in the tie-break. Use the memory of these moments for your image training. a high level match is rare in any tennis career so remember it and repeat it. Good luck Felix and happy new year.
@tennisbrothers. Felix, it's been soo fun watching your game mature all around. Biggest unlock seems to be an internal trust. Good luck this season. Looking forward to watching more progress.
Keep going mate. the baby steps are slowly turning into giant leaps.👍👍 For the second set 6-6, bot at 6-5(your match point), and 6-7(his match point) it seemed like you were rushing the rally, the 6-5 point where you got into his pace, and made some shot selection that was advantageous to him. and the 6-7 point was where you were really rushing the point, which forced you to miss volleys. happened to me to. I made it a habit to reset myself at match points, by training with a visual cue on the court, or a memory cue, use that to remind yourself to reset your mood to when you were at your best. that kind of mental training before the point in a quick couple of seconds will really help you clear your mind, and help you construct your rally to your advantage.🙏
Cool. Long time since I watched a match. Definately you've improved. The margon of improvement to me is on your serve in order yo get more free points. Congrats for your competitive match. Regards from Paseo del Norte, Panamá 🇵🇦and Happy New Year!
great match. I think that is the best I have seen you play. I think you are improving mentally and become more aggressive which seems to create opportunities!
Great match. You really had him which shows how close the level is between all pros and that your right up there with them. When does the doubles vid come out?
You can go far! Keep improving the serve and return. Best of luck! Try to stay more grounded when returning serve... If you're in the air .. you can't move, react. 👏👏👏👏🎾🎾🎾🎾
Hi felix I’ve been watching you for a few months now I used to play tennis myself I was at a very high standard!! You should of won this match !!! You were the player who looked 540! Your biggest weapon is your forehand mine was as well as soon as you hit a screamer get to the net ! Like I say I’ve only just started watching you and your progressing really well! When I was playing around the Pete Sampras era 30 years ago I always attacked the net ! When you hit a monster forehand get to the net make them pass you!!! And you were beaten when you lost the 2nd set and I know when your playing and winning your head runs away with you! I’ve been there and on the big points you need to relax! I know it’s sounds easy I’m proud of you First set you dominated it and there’s a few points if you served and volleyed you would of won some points I would like to have a hit with you I’m 44 now When you had match point you played a to safe return in to no mans land Like I say your an attacking player not a hacker!!! Keep moving forward and don’t be intimidated cos someone is higher than you! I hope you think this is critical feedback Let me know what you think about my comments
Absolute nice try Felix. You definitely showed how to compete against a huge opponent, was following the livescore and It was kinda unfortunate that match point too. 2024 is gonna be your year!! We will be here supporting, keep that up!
modern tennis is nuts...you see these back and forth dogfights all the time, it's more common than not like the top players going back and forth all match long. It's nuts...you were right there though, good stuff.
Hi Felix, I'm a tennis coach and love watching your updates. You've noticeably improved your groundstroke consistency and precision without dropping quality on the ball. From what I see on videos, you're very athletic but your defensive skills are still quite average. I feel like the opponent has an easier time destabilizing you, and can take advantage accordingly. I feel like sometimes although you get to the ball, you spend so much energy into the shot, that consequently your recovery or positioning is off and the opponent can really start to push you around from there. Try to get more balls deep in the middle when you feel rushed on some groundstrokes. You're athletic and in good shape, I feel, so don't be shy to rely on your physical abilities rather than shot quality 100% of the time. Sorry if this comes off judge-y, I just mean to share my thoughts and observations as a coach. I love your stuff, and wishing you all the best for 2024!!! Thanks for all your hard work on and off the court, and allowing us to observe the highlights.
For what it's worth, you can really see the difference in body language between the 2nd and 3rd sets. You not only lost the set, but you lost your energy. You opponent seemed fitter than you, which might give you some ideas what you need to do to reach his level. You certainly showed you can hit as well as him, but maybe you need a bit more stamina. Good luck in 2024
yeah big improvement tennis-wise. just get some stamina in. also on critical points like match points you must play at least a very good and solid game. Felix sliced return to the T on match point was just showing that he had no confidence in winning the match . From then on, he was clear to lose. Even just watching the video i could feel that he would lose a 3rd set.
@@Alexander-dt2eq Hindsight, slicing to the T forces the opponent who has all the pressure facing the match point to come up with a good relaxed shot. It was close.
@@jackquinnes forcing? rewatch the video. that was the most "how afraid can i be" as a returner point :) he put it mid-high in the middle of the court, it was a penalty for the opponent. slice is good if it stays below the net, that "slice" was slow, not much spin and bounced so high that he could just put it away
Felix, your problem is that you give too much respect to your opponents. Start being a little more arrogant and believe you can beat players who are higher ranked than you. Start thinking that someone ranked 500 in the world is a nobody and you can beat them. You need to change your mentality and start believing in yourself more. You have the skills to reach top 200, but you need to believe in yourself and your abilities.
@@Michael-kb3tt I notice this in many videos of his during his commentary he always gives too much praise and credit to his opponents. Not a good mentality to have.
Felix you have a incredible game. Just some bad decisions and anxiety during the match makes you lose some key points. In this match there were some various approaches you shouldn’t have it
Felix, i feel like a lot of players myself included feel more pressure after winning a first set big expecting the opponent to come out playing even better, refocused, which mentally puts us at the disadvantage even though we are up. Any thoughts on this or ways to reset and get another good start to the set?
Felix you are BALLING!! You played great and were only a couple points away!!! Never stop, your improvement has been insane!!!
Glad to see your game is more confident and agressive. Thats the way to go. If i were you i would work hard on the slice. Normally on this level a slice is not a weapon. A good slice is a game changer and can make a difference in many situations.
Could not agree more!
A great slice will complement your forehand so well. think berrettini
@@jacobg4961 couldn't agree more
Just shows how insanely difficult it is to get the top. Watching these guys play for one ATP point and all I can think is WOW. The skillsets and athleticism are remarkable even at this level.
your game is going to be insane for 24. well played man. top, top level tennis. a pleasure to watch.
hes 20
@BoomTennis He was talking about 2024
First. Your journey is incredible and I’m so exited to see you improvement in the following months. Be in the moment and look to the future!

Heartbreaker! Can’t wait to see you reach new heights in 2024

At this point its not if you reach top 1000 but when stay healthy and best of luck!!
Great playing. My knees hurt just by watching this.
We will keep believing you!
Great work, Felix. Did I hear you at 3:56 saying "Komm Jetzt" which is German for come on! Epic if you did so...
the dap at the end was clean af
Question: have you ever played Vs somebody that knows/watches you?
man you are on the higgest level you have ever been. congrats for the level you are now and keep going. you can do this!!

Happy new year🍾🎉🍾
that 4 4 game 2nd set is pro tennis.... good stuff

Great job!
Great try. Can't wait for more.
Felix Mischer for ATP top 10 by end of the year… you heard it here first
And no i’m not serious if anyone thinks i am
Can’t wait to see you in a slam!
Very curious, whats your current racket setup? Racket (well obvious CX200), strings, customization etc?
Felix can you please tell me where did you get your shoes from? I really love them but I have never seen such a model. Thank you!
When the skillsets are good, it all comes down to the mental game, after losing the second game your movements and shots are slower.
I had the impression your opponent wasn’t happy with your line calls
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
Hey Felix is there a certain software that you use to show the scoreboard on your videos?
Backhand is looking a lot better.
You should play the Canberra international next year
Tennis has very fine margins. Good job though. Keep your head high u are getting there.
FH is crazy now. Wow.
