- When I Played On Sky Sports
You may or may not know that I once played on the touchtennis tour, I even miraculously made it to the top 5 in the world. Here is a Quarter Final match at a masters event which was actually televised (back in around 2017).
I thought I’d share it with you as I’m sure zero of you saw it!!!

I love Touch Tennis. The LTA should promote it far more than Padel.
How do you “love” a comment?! 😂
I’ve loved it for you 😁
I never heard of this sport. The court is so small that on camera, you guys look like you are on top of each other. I do like this over Picklecrap. Seems like you can get a good workout. Thanks.
I like your name for it 😂
I've never heard of this either! This looks insanely fun.
This is awesome, I bought a can of balls online and some junior tennis racquets, and I'm gonna try and convince some people to play this with me on Pickleball courts and start a revolution! 😂
Touch tennis is incredibly fun. And if one has ever played against a top class table tennis player, you realise just how well table tennis translates to this! They play it a lot differently with much more spin and angle variety.
Spot on.
Loved watching you play Ashley ! You started out playing really well and then the level dropped a bit. What role did the mental game play in your performance ?
Thanks
Thanks Rui, you’re right, I definitely dropped my level in multiple stages. Looking back, I definitely didn’t give myself enough time to work things out. I went straight from one point to the next without much thought. My opponent was extremely solid and I ended up just going for too much!
Hi Ashley you seemed very rushed. Especially before your serves. How much time do you have between serves in touch tennis?
Interesting 🤔 I don't think I've ever seen touch tennis before. Thanks 👍
First
Yo my touch tennis mentor now ahahaha, you play extremely well in touch tennis and I think this is why your such a good mentor because you are able to conquers a variety of sports, your the best tennis mentor
Haha… thanks buddy!
Seems like a lot of fun. I wonder though why they call it touch tennis, since I hardly see any "touch balls". No drop shots, no dropvolleys. Some slice yes, but otherwise. I also expected much more netplay. Since it seems easy to cover the net imo. And the serve seems very op. A big serve on such a small court... To really make it touch tennis I would suggest only under arm serves.
There is actually less variety in the shot making then in normal tennis.
Going for a big serve in touch tennis is a double edged sword. Despite its initial speed, the ball slows quickly and can sit up high for an attacking return. Placement into an outside corner is a high chance winner due to limited space, but there are no second serves.
@@jerome_morrow Aha thanks!
"Neaves hasn't been in this match at all" the commentator said. While at 2-2 he said something like "there isn't much between them, totally equal match" . Then one break and "Neaves hasn't been in the match at all" 😂
😂😂 momentum swings so easily in this sport. With the one serve rule, it can run away from you quickly!!
Is the court smaller than other courts
Yeah 12 by 6 metres for touchtennis.
Never come across this before! How is the ball different to normal tennis? It looks bigger and softer. And I'm assuming people play doubles too?!
It’s a dense foam ball. Yes, doubles is great fun!
Do you use a 25in kid racquet of the respective company example the 25in yonex ezone or do you use specific racquets that are different
This is a 21” junior racquet (roughly $25/30)
Great times Ashley
Ball kids were amazing ,jack going to play his first touch tennis competition this year with his goat racquet
Glad Jack’s still playing and wants to play on the tt tour!
Seems like a fun sport touch tennis !
What a cool sport! Never heard of it before! Great option for winter when it is too cold to play tennis outside and you don't have indoor courts!
It really is!! And unlike other racquet sport spin offs, it really feels like tennis!!
This is what I asked you to upload when I commented in your IG post, Thank you brother! big hug
Just for you buddy 😉
@@TheTennisMentor I appreciate it brother! Keep up with the good content🫶🏽🙏🏽
Yeah I have a question! At 8:08 what do they mean by “golden set”?! 😂
Cool !
Looks like a bouncy version of paddle ball.
It’s more like a compact version of tennis!
Thanks. Fun to watch. For sure it teaches one to be patient and as they say to think through every shot.
It definitely teaches patience… I clearly didn’t have enough of it in this match! 😂
Seems impossible to pass or lob somebody at the net. I'd try to hit a lot more dropshots and short slices then approach the net.
Very tough to pass or lob… you just have to hit fast and low when they approach. Approaching the net is a lot tougher than it looks, with the court being so small it’s really tough to react quick enough when your opponent goes big!
@@TheTennisMentor ah yes didn't think of that! Oh how I would love to give this a try!
Thanks for showing us Ashley!
You’re welcome!
how does the court differ from the normal tennis courts?
It’s smaller (6ft x 12ft, like a badminton court)
@@TheTennisMentor sounds difficult but fun
What Racket is that?
A 21 inch cheap junior tennis racquet.
Can you underarm serve in this?
You can
Thanks
I am going to become the Nick Kyrgios of touch tennis😎🎾
British pickle ball😂😂😂, actually looks like a lot fun
Wow never heard of this, I wonder if you can play it on clay. So it is a normal racquet?
Yup. Grass clay and ice. We’ve got loads of videos on snow and ice. Clay of course is the most fun!
