- The Tennis Viking played 1 spot at a D3 college and as you can see is absolutely relentless. I have a tough time swinging through the shots and placing the ball because he hits a very heavy topspin shot off both wings. I am working on attacking the return of serve which is why I was missing so many returns. Had a chance to go up 5-2 in the second set when serving at 4-2 40-15, but double faulted three times in a row. I only double faulted one other time in the match, also at an ad-out point. I now realize I need to steady my breathing and my motion when I get nervous.
Some of the advice i got on previous videos was make sure to come off the ground on the serve and that extra height has definitely been helping so thanks for that tip. Im still tossing the ball a little too far right. Also got a tip to attack more on the returns and it will take a few matches possibly but I will get it down. And then the advice I will give myself for next match is to swing much more freely, try not to hold back whatsoever. My best shots are when I fully extend but the trick to doing that is aiming 3/4 depth into the court in my opinion. And then backhand I need to attack every single one that falls into my strike zone, could take an extra step or two on that side to get set up better I think.

I like the Viking's game. He doesn't give up ground on his groundstrokes and sets up nicely on both wings for his shots. Good match.
Impressive court coverage from Viking. Not only was he getting to shots that would have been winners against less mobile opponents, but he was often putting pace and placement on them too. Couple of those types in the 4.0 league I play in, and it's so frustrating to have to keep playing when you thought you had the point won... or worse, suddenly find yourself on the defensive!
Overall, great playing from both of you, thanks for sharing!
Great job on the video and the match my dude! This was a fun match to watch! I just started playing tennis again after a 25 year hiatus and I have been playing for about a year now. Just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing you guys play again. Thanks for posting this video my friend.
Really good advanced club level tennis. Quality points.
High 4.5 heading towards 5.0 ntrp.
👏👏👏👏
Nice match. All mental toughness at the end won it for Viking.
2:27 - this is what I like to see! Using your speed and some great pickups from both players with a spot on finish. Tough opponent John! He looks a lot like the baseball player I played against on my channel and has a similar game too haha. I'll have to let him know he has a doppelganger.
Would you mind linking the video you mention with the doppelgänger? That sounds hilarious!
@@AcingTennis haha they do look the same!
@@usopenjohn3725 I know!!
My first thought was "wait, do I live in Charlotte?" Scroll down to see this lol. Match was great; Alex, you should drive up to Charlotte and do a channel crossover weekend. I'd be in.
@@aaronwhitworth8184 apparently he is going to be moving to Atlanta beginning of next year I think he told me! We’ll get some matches in for sure then!
Some very entertaining tennis being played here!
Thanks ayokay!
Nice playing -- I'm wondering where you got the advice to attack returns. Attacking second serves is definitely the right move, but trying to attack first serves doesn't make sense especially where you aren't consistently making returns. Your technique looks good except you have to loosen up your hands/wrists on both sides as your current tendency is to tighten up and arm the ball under pressure. And the toss is way, way too far right. You have a good motion and get a ton of first serves in, but with that toss it's basically impossible to hit a kicker which would be a huge weapon for you. Anyway, take that as constructive criticism -- really enjoyed watching your match!
Thanks for the tips, I carefully study every tip and try to make changes where I can, so I am grateful for your advice. Toss has been a consistent issue - i think knee bend and elbow bend on the serve need to be coordinated so they happen at the same time and that will give me the racquet head speed to hit something other than sliders on the second serves with that wide toss. Tennis is a never ending learning experience I guess. Ill go over your comment before my next few practices and see what I can do.
@@usopenjohn3725 Yes, I'm also a student of the game and constantly trying to learn and to tinker with my strokes. I don't have the setup necessary to take videos like yours but they are a great learning tool for both the player and audience.
Wow that was an amazing match! Especially the 2nd game was 5.0 level quality with some amazing exchanges. If you just improve your serve and net game you could probably move up to 5.0
Thanks Yegang, yeah the first game was a wash but second game rallies started to pick up. Serve definitely needs more pace!
if you guys are in the bay area happy to hit with you all, look nice courts and all.
Thanks Penn, havent been to San Fran in a while but will keep this in mind!
Besides pronating you’ve really got a great game.
Very nice match👌 Viking's forehand reminded me Jack Sock! From the other hand, John your serve looks so effortless! Need some improvement though 😀 What is your height?
Also, which strings did you use in this video (if you remember 😀) ? Thanks
Yes, I used a string similar to yonex poly tour pro called 'interceptor' by bigttennis.com, it is really cheap and also high quality. Thank you for nice comment on my serve!
John’s serve and forehand are 4.0 level.
Hey, I recently moved to Charlotte. I started playing 4.0 in Terri's ladder but am thinking of playing 4.5 next season. Would be cool to get a game with you :)
Let's hit at queens! my email is johncoryell@gmail.com
Nice play!!! which racquet both are playing?
Federer Pro staff 97 vs nadal aero pro
@@usopenjohn3725 I use same racquet rf97, and played same spot court that you played South Charlotte, NC lol
@@stevekim578 small world! Lol
I’m planning to visit San Francisco next month
maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like you're swinging a really heavy racquet.. you look fit, your racquet head speed shouldn't be that slow (on your forehand at least; your backhand actually looks like it has more pace). almost seems like you're bunting the forehand. if you haven't, you should try experimenting with a lighter racquet, around 11.5oz
Thanks ChiJin9...youre absolutely right and it’s something ive been trying to fix... this opponent hits extremely heavy and the racquet gets pushed back in my hand as i try to swing it...i have tried both heavier and lighter on the racquet and just havent found a solution yet, no doubt a light racket would allow me to swing faster but returning fast or heavy balls is more difficult without the weight of the racket to push them back, i havent found a solution yet but am still looking
@@usopenjohn3725 one thing is that not all lighter racquets are made the same. for instance the wilson blade plays completely different than the pure strike even though they have almost identical specs - the difference is mostly due to the weight distribution and composition. judging by your videos a tweener like that would absolutely suit you best, however I don't think you'd like the blade due to how it swings, nor any babolat due to the stiffness. I would highly recommend demoing the ezone 98, head speed mp, and head extreme mp, as I think those are best suited to your game. you look like you're in good shape so any one of those racquets should help you learn how to generate your own pace without getting too pushed around
@@usopenjohn3725 try hitting the ball earlier on your forehand so you can drive your weight through the contact zone. You can also get more of a unit turn. You should be looking over your left shoulder before you swing your racket. It doesn’t look like you’re transferring your weight. On some of your forehands it looks like you’re slapping the ball because you’re late. On your two handed backhand you’re getting good weight transfer. I’m just a 3.0 so I hope you don’t mind me putting my two cents in.
@@Avenjin Hello and happy new year!I have played with the head speed mp and Yonex ezone98, but never with the extreme mp. Can you compare them ? Thanks
I saw that you played a match in Charlotte, I live near Greensboro and I’d love to try and set up a match for the channel sometime. I’m a 16 year old junior by the way
Sure are you ever in Charlotte?
@@usopenjohn3725 I’ll be sure to let you know when I am
Video: set resolution to 1080
WiFi: am I a joke to you? 😂😂
What program are using to overly the scoreboard on the video?
I need to find a program, maybe that would be easier...i just create a text box and then copy and paste the scores for each new point...it is quite time consuming. It takes 3 hours at least to cut together the match and add the scores
@@usopenjohn3725 Wow! That sounds painful - thanks for the response! If I find anything more efficient I will let you know
Can someone educate me Idk how the numbers work is it the higher the number the higher your level or the lower your number the higher your leve. that’s the one thing I don’t know lol
the higher number the better, 2.5 is beginner 7.0 is considered pro. The NTRP ratings are used by the USTA and a bit flawed which is why UTR has come out recently and uses a scale all the way to 16. It is considered to be more accurate.
Thx
4.5? I don't think so...
Stop typing
Yeah I’m really confused as I’m not American so I do not know how this ranking system works but I’ve seen other videos of 3.5-4 which are better than this
4.5 is 120mph serves and killer ground strokes. These guys are somewhere between 3.0-3.5
@@-Above-Average- That's not even close to being realistic. It's pretty clear this is NTRP. This play is extremely fair for 4.5 in most if not all of the US. There are a few levels above 4.5 like 5.0 and 5.5 (along with 6.0 - 7.0 that are rarely used). If 4.5 is 120 mph serves and killer groundstrokes, what else is there?
@@asmallkitten NTRP rating goes up to 7.0, my friend. And here is a video of a 4.5 match. Enjoy.

1:44 it actually was in
a little tough to see because the camera angle is behind the ball
Zoom in, it was out... I thought it was in too until I rewinded and zoomed in. Good call.
