The second serve returns wasn't just a thing in this match. Nishsesh did that to everyone in that tournament and won the title. He's insane. That first set was legit top 100 tennis imo.
Out of curiosity @karue; why not take a step right/left and show the wide kick/slice serve? Total rec hacker here but wouldn’t that open up the court and make it harder for him to attack that second so abusively?
You know what I noticed about his second serve return...except the fact that he was in the court trying to get it early ? ... doing a higher bounce serve made him send the return in the net ...or idk...you should try to variate next time idk
@@waywardmunkey Karue should be serving bombs with his weight, height and experience yet that second delivery was so short it made the teen look good. Watching Karue swing a Yonex is like watching a Gladiator swinging a bamboo branch. Francisco Cerundolo hits harder in every department with a 30 year old head. Its time for a Pros stock 18x20 pattern from Europe not these Tweener frames made for players with lighter faster and shorter strokes that dont come natural to Alpha men.
Not a lot of players talk about this situation and losing a close set like this "deflates" you internally. Inspirational as always, man. Love the video as always and good luck for the next tournament. - Munish, TW
It sure can deflate a player losing a close set. However, the trick to combat this is to not actually try to push even harder in the second set and just chill back into the playing style that nearly won the set. Way to many players at the lower levels either totally fall apart or try way to hard and end up making lots of mistakes which results in them losing the set. From a psychology point of view its all about building up your wins during the game so that you have a strong platform to build up that motivation to win the next set. For example, in this match with Nishsesh killing the second serve the win could be to make him at least a few times have some trouble returning the second serve. So, let say you know there is a good chance he will kill the return why not then either hit a first serve sometime as the second serve to try and break his winning on this serve. All that's sometimes needed is to make someone think twice about something and they can make a mistake. Now I know a tennis player will say I cant do that but why not. At the end of the day it all comes down to psychology and the player who thinks the least during a match mostly plays better and has better reactions because thinking actually takes time and time is something a tennis player is short on. A human when thinking will take at least 100th of a second to get that thought into action and in tennis the ball goes from one side of the court to the other in 600milliseconds. so, thinking a lot can cause a lot of issues in tennis that why the new stats that players are getting on tour will be a game changer ones they figure out how to use it right.
@@Rodrigorodriguez20241well I don't usually give advice for free and not to lower ranked players. 😂 As an elite performance psychologist I am interested in how more players on the lower ranking are using RUclips to fund their pro tennis journey. It's part of some research I am working on. So, am I qualified to give unsolicited advice on a RUclips channel 🤔 yes I am and the term coach is often used but funny enough only by tennis players. It really interesting watching these players RUclips channels over Last 6 months. Why do this well its to try to understand what differences not solely skill related between top 20 players and players outside 100 are factors in someone making it to top 100 or not. 98% of all tennis pros never make it to the top. So, my part of this research was to follow players who have a tennis RUclips channel and look at that. Finished it now.
I really appreciate that you complement your opponents. Being competitive doesn't mean hating our opponents. It shouldn't poison our love of watching and playing against great tennis players.
I was there in Tiburon for your first round match. You looked solid and even with Basavareddy (and other recent losses) it seems you're right at that level and if you keep grinding you'll break through any time now. Thanks for sharing your journey and can't wait to see how far it goes!
I've never found it a weakness to compliment another player. I actually think it's a strength. I never wanted to beat a crappy player. i wanted to beat someone who was really, really good. Then it was a real accomplishment, and more fun! Keep being you, sir!!
I coached a young man who played in the Tiburon challenger twice and played on that main court both times. Bas did to your serve what you do to most people, and the game (at the highest level) is about serve and return. You're playing so well right now, Karue. I'm most impressed with your ability to maximize your game, especially at your age.
Karue reminds me of Fucsovics, he has very similar movements and style. Fucso could have been top 20 easily if he had skipped the 5 year party phase in his early 20s, which required a bodybuilder physique (which hinders his game) and a bit of booze 🤣. Can Karue make the top 100-150 in your opinion? I think so..
@@curiousgeorge6921 He's not "old" but he's also not young. He's also perfecting himself at a much older age than almost anyone else on the tour. I give him a lot of credit for that.
I was at the Basavareddy match but didn't get a chance to say hello. Still really fun to watch you play in person. Nishesh ended up winning the tournament something like 61 61. Hope going down to a Stanford guy didn't add to the loss. Also watched your early matches on the ATP broadcast. The announcer had a lot of nice things to say about you, maybe a future guest on the channel? Good luck getting to Australia.
Your level in the first set was so high! It is so gratifying to see how much your game has improved since earlier in the year. This is the first match where it was clear that you need to improve your second serve as you have done with your forehand and first serve. And the fitness to maintain that high level for hours at a time. But I know, given everything you have achieved this year, that you do have the runway to make that improvement. I’m glad you made the comparison between Nishesh and Novak. That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the highlights of this match just after it was played. I rooted for you in the match, but he has now become one of my favorite players too.
I wanted to go out and watch you that week but it was sold out. Kinda cool that Challenger events sell out. Although I wonder if it was in no small part because of your popularity. The tv commentators mentioned your channel and your fans often.
I love how real and raw you are. No shame in getting smoked in the second. Would’ve been the other way around if you would’ve taken the first. Just continue to be an inspiration to us mate.
Hey, Karue. I’m very excited to see you play drommondvile this year. I will be there for sure to play and watch your match’s. Looking forward to see you! Ps, I have a good chance to play qualifying, it would be a dream to set up a hit with you! Congratulations on your journey, extremely impressive what you have done 👏
Oh man, you were in my No. CA neighborhood! Sorry I missed the opportunity to come watch you.. always enjoy your humbleness and your play by play commentary. Keep going KS!… those legs are looking like a V8 HEMi engine.. keep working hard! God bless.
Hey Karue, I've been watching you for several years now and It is amazing how good you can keep things simple and have amazing results with it. As a tennis coach I would say you could explode that non attacking shots your opponents make, you can take time away by beeing 1ms faster, that would make you a top 100, I'm so sure. Keep up the good work! I want to see you battle in slams, you can do it!
It's always good to have an objective summary of your opponent, what he does and know (or learn) what you must do to beat him or her. Competition is a great thing, it is thanks to our opponents, their spin, their speed, their strategy choices and so on that help us to achieve better results. If you cannot look at those things you cannot progress. Congrats on your results and good luck in Brazil.
Wow didn't realize Nishesh is playing so well. Really enjoying see your rise and your analysis. You can absolutely beat him next time. Your ball striking ability to be aggressive is very very good. Let's get you to Australia!
I saw at least 6 points in that first set where you hit an amazing shot and stayed back. He retrieved the ball and the point continued. He recognized immediately when he hit a good shot then followed it in (ex. see game him serving 5-5 his 2 approach shots to your BH.) Your baseline game is incredible with the side to side accuracy + depth and the short angles thrown in. Capitalize on those strengths and come forward more. I noticed your energy plummet after evening it up at 5-5, saving 3 set points. He then held easily to go up 6-5. When you saved those set points, he was vulnerable that next game where you made two unforced errors returning. He showed you his nerves at 4-5 with his two missed returns. This match was decided the last two games of the first set. Tiny margins at this level. Fun to watch 👍
Great game, you've got the skills. Once you get your conditioning up to outlast your opponents i think you'll definitely dominate top 100. Keep up the content Karue. Doing great!!
JUst watched to 5-5. Super high level. Nishesh is a cut above in terms of his neutral rally ball. He hits deep with good pace and puts his opponnent under pressure already. A good number of times Karue hit a bit shorter than him on a neutral ball and then Nishesh would start dictating the point. I didnt see anyone else do that to Karue. Usually his shorter rally balls are still ok as the other player cant do much with it. They cant hit back with quality often enough.
This is amazing... Theres no modern movement or modern swing, BUT what Karue does possess is great court positioning, shot selection, and confidence...I wasnt a believer, at first, and thought this mission was a waste of time and money, but I have been proven wrong, big time.
Nishesh and Learner are two up and comers that you've faced. These guys have major game. Your top level is good enough to hang Karue. The difference is playing when you don't have your A game.
Hi, Karue: Love your positive review of Basavareddy. You gave him a tough match. BTW: Who was a tougher match for you: Basavareddy or Learner Tien? Both of these young players look exceptionally tough. Keep up the good work, btw! I can see your fitness getting better and better. Great scrambling!
totally agree with the comment about congratulating your opponent on a good shot and how you just like to see good tennis. You're right, doesn't mean you can't beat them, just fun to play a good point either way.
Hi Karue! One question: can you do anything about the quality of the match videos or do you just get them this way from the tournament organizer? I've noticed that more frames per second make for a much better tennis viewing experience, and this tournament videos seemed to be on the lower fps side.
Losing a grueling 7-5 or 6-6 tiebreaker is mentally taxing and we see that all the time at the highest levels. But realize winning the second set will be just as demoralizing for him and we're back to even in the third. Easier said than done but that's the mental in this sport.
Head up high! You played so good and I completely understand the mental fatigue effect after putting so much effort and focus into something but you have a wall on the other side of the net. Now, in hindsight and after analyzing your and his performance, did you think of a solution that could possiby hurt him? His tactics seemed quite predictable, left-right-left-right and so on, just to make you run and wear you out physically. Exactly like Djokovic. Maybe mixing in some different shots - slice, short balls to make him run forward, heavy angle balls, long top spin balls to push him back, going more to the net and not give him the opportunity/time to act. He was glued to the baseline and dictated the game from there, took the ball early too and they seemed to come straight into his comfort zone time and again. His returns were superb though and it’s difficult to face a guy like that, could slower and sliced serves maybe been a way to disturb him? He appeared not to like going forward that much, he hugged the baseline and didn’t budge from there. I wonder how his net game is and what would’ve happened if he had to play more from the service lines?
Totally unrelated about the match, but I see some similarity with one of my all-time favorites, David Nalbandian, in your baseline strokes, Karue. Both enjoyable to watch for sure.
LOL not even close to Nalbandian, his backhand was the best ever, reliable and shorter stumpy body type like Giron short arms, Karue is more like Fucsovic both big boys swinging what weaker teens are trying to use racquet head speeds than their natural ability to pound the ball and redirect it with ease and use the serve as a weapon not second serves that are landing 3-4 feet from the service line. Karue should be swinging a PT57A or at least a H22.
LFG Karue, you are still on track to get to AO. What are your thoughts on TennisUnleashed's video where he analyzes (and has suggestions for) your forehand?
Great tennis man regardless.. from both sides but his decision making at age 19 is more impressive than eveything else imo, going down the line only when he can hit a winner is hard to see from guys at this age.
I think playing that type of player is super tricky. He is like the ultimate pusher except he hits quality shots instead of junk balls. You feel like they're a brick wall and not even trying their best (because they dont go for shots down the line)
Torcendo muito para você conseguir ir pro quali! Assisti você aqui em Curitiba contra o Mateus, derrota amarga, mas com certeza isso trouxe boas lições rumo ao AO25. Pena que não consegui tirar uma foto com você, pois não queria tirar seu momento de concentração pré-jogo haha
This is good example of the importante of mental strength and fighting spirit. You can't just "give up" after losing the first set. Some people are better then others with that, but has to be practiced as much as physical fitness. May be shaving that mustache might help :)
Karue, on the topic of pressure points, how do I create those moments more often. The sense of pressure comes when I have more to lose on the line, like going into playoffs, sectionals, etc - rated 4.0 USTA. But those moments are far and few due to time constraint.
Been following your journey BUT with all due RESPECT!!! Fucsovics is also another solid Gladiator dude that should be swinging axes and metal morningstars but like you, both going for high racquet head speeds more suited for wristy Beta boys. Your denying your ability to make your own power by chasing the modern pop when you should be swinging a 18x20 Gravity or Khachanov 18x20 Blade for extra feel, dwell time and needed control. Also your serve FFS you should be bruising these kids and could easily still if you get some pointers from Johan Kriek who was only 5f 8 and out served even Kevin Curren. Good luck from Japan.
Interesting to see the player's point of view during a match....IT IS easier looking at it from outside...playing the actual game and being in the heat of it imo you "miss" some things ...like you said during the comment/reaction video of the match ... it's funny for me (especially in the ladies side) that they don't "see" obvious stuff in their opponents defense, habbits, strong hits/weak hits but I know it's hard...hell i've seen players cry on the court or (and let's not repeat that one) hitting their heads with the racket to the point of drawing actual blood *caugh* Youzhny *caugh*
hahah I am. It is not a lot of lifting I am just kinda thick hahah not that skinny genetic plus I am older now and spent the last 5 years not working out that much
@KaruesellHQ i had to grind the gym like crazy to gain a bit of weight, being 35. I play tennis since I was 5, the gym protects my joints lol. Abraços de sp!!
Hit a bigger second serve or try different things on the second serve. Double fault or lose the point anyway. Be like G. Perricard. 129 mph average second serve.
idk, guess when he gave you those off balance slow high shots after you got him out of position it would have been best to attack the ball and take more time away from him. Seems like that won you the most points doing that from these clips anyway.
I think that's the difference between the 200 and the rest of the field. You can't deflate and get discouraged after losing one set. Maybe talking to a sports psychologist would help?
I don’t think you should compare a top 200 player (borderline) to one of the greatest players of all time. No disrespect at all, great player, but the big 3 are masters of the sport
You can recognize similarities between players whether they are top 5 or top 200. Let's see where this 19 yo peaks in the future. Seems to have at least top 50 talent based on where he is today.
Nishesh has a top 10 djokovic-esque ball striking and returning . His serve and touch game needs to improve for him to reach the very top . best American talent of his generation
Nishesh practiced with the top guys at the tour finals in Turin last year and his returns and ball striking held up well against the elite like medvedev and alcaraz as well. Nishesh is going right to the top
Already 19 ... at 17 years 7month Shang Juncheng played Australian open second round .. so dont hype him that much ... at his same age Shang won Atp 250 ... i m not comparing him with Alcaraz or any top 10 players

Out of curiosity @karue; why not take a step right/left and show the wide kick/slice serve? Total rec hacker here but wouldn’t that open up the court and make it harder for him to attack that second so abusively?

Now, in hindsight and after analyzing your and his performance, did you think of a solution that could possiby hurt him? His tactics seemed quite predictable, left-right-left-right and so on, just to make you run and wear you out physically. Exactly like Djokovic. Maybe mixing in some different shots - slice, short balls to make him run forward, heavy angle balls, long top spin balls to push him back, going more to the net and not give him the opportunity/time to act. He was glued to the baseline and dictated the game from there, took the ball early too and they seemed to come straight into his comfort zone time and again. His returns were superb though and it’s difficult to face a guy like that, could slower and sliced serves maybe been a way to disturb him? He appeared not to like going forward that much, he hugged the baseline and didn’t budge from there. I wonder how his net game is and what would’ve happened if he had to play more from the service lines?
Nice one handed backhand at 02:46
7:01 my god, what touch. Such a difficult one to play
Totally unrelated about the match, but I see some similarity with one of my all-time favorites, David Nalbandian, in your baseline strokes, Karue. Both enjoyable to watch for sure.
LOL not even close to Nalbandian, his backhand was the best ever, reliable and shorter stumpy body type like Giron short arms, Karue is more like Fucsovic both big boys swinging what weaker teens are trying to use racquet head speeds than their natural ability to pound the ball and redirect it with ease and use the serve as a weapon not second serves that are landing 3-4 feet from the service line. Karue should be swinging a PT57A or at least a H22.
LFG Karue, you are still on track to get to AO. What are your thoughts on TennisUnleashed's video where he analyzes (and has suggestions for) your forehand?
Great tennis man regardless.. from both sides but his decision making at age 19 is more impressive than eveything else imo, going down the line only when he can hit a winner is hard to see from guys at this age.
Before playing Challengers,is the only way to get points on ATP playing futures?
lesgooo karueeee!!
Karue is the true rising star
the level in this match is SOOOOOO good
I think playing that type of player is super tricky. He is like the ultimate pusher except he hits quality shots instead of junk balls. You feel like they're a brick wall and not even trying their best (because they dont go for shots down the line)
Tennis is a tough sport. Good luck going forward 👍
It is! Thank you
Torcendo muito para você conseguir ir pro quali! Assisti você aqui em Curitiba contra o Mateus, derrota amarga, mas com certeza isso trouxe boas lições rumo ao AO25. Pena que não consegui tirar uma foto com você, pois não queria tirar seu momento de concentração pré-jogo haha
This is good example of the importante of mental strength and fighting spirit. You can't just "give up" after losing the first set. Some people are better then others with that, but has to be practiced as much as physical fitness. May be shaving that mustache might help :)
😴
You think this guy will be top 100?
He's already almost there. He's top 50 at minimum.
Top 10 talent if he improves his serve and touch game . Dude has insane ball striking and return . Best American talent of his generation
EZ top 100.
He will be top 100. Not sure what’s the ceiling but high floor
Karue, on the topic of pressure points, how do I create those moments more often. The sense of pressure comes when I have more to lose on the line, like going into playoffs, sectionals, etc - rated 4.0 USTA. But those moments are far and few due to time constraint.
Figure out ways to add pressure to practice (play for something, no matter how small it is)
@@KaruesellHQ I appreciate the response! Will do just that
Jogão! Alto nível
Have you watched tennisunleashed's analysis of your match? Thoughts on his recommendations?
tip flip
see you next year in vegas.....i hope you play there again 2025......
Have a good week
Second serve return was top 50 action
NB is incredibly good. He killed Govin. Waiting for somebody to beat NB.
I have seen nishesh's return against alcaraz and sinner at tour finals last year and it held up great . Karue you did great
Cataloo moon
Damn bro u played so well.Though loss
Been following your journey BUT with all due RESPECT!!! Fucsovics is also another solid Gladiator dude that should be swinging axes and metal morningstars but like you, both going for high racquet head speeds more suited for wristy Beta boys. Your denying your ability to make your own power by chasing the modern pop when you should be swinging a 18x20 Gravity or Khachanov 18x20 Blade for extra feel, dwell time and needed control. Also your serve FFS you should be bruising these kids and could easily still if you get some pointers from Johan Kriek who was only 5f 8 and out served even Kevin Curren. Good luck from Japan.
would be curious to hear what Nishesh needs to do to get into the top 100
Nothing.for top 10,needs to improve his serve
Interesting to see the player's point of view during a match....IT IS easier looking at it from outside...playing the actual game and being in the heat of it imo you "miss" some things ...like you said during the comment/reaction video of the match ... it's funny for me (especially in the ladies side) that they don't "see" obvious stuff in their opponents defense, habbits, strong hits/weak hits but I know it's hard...hell i've seen players cry on the court or (and let's not repeat that one) hitting their heads with the racket to the point of drawing actual blood *caugh* Youzhny *caugh*
He is Indian Nole. Does he use a Head Prestige?
Prestige yes
Saying this as a big fan - isn't Karue very 'big' (strong) for a tennis player? Is there a lot of weight lifting going on or just genetics?
hahah I am. It is not a lot of lifting I am just kinda thick hahah not that skinny genetic plus I am older now and spent the last 5 years not working out that much
@KaruesellHQ i had to grind the gym like crazy to gain a bit of weight, being 35. I play tennis since I was 5, the gym protects my joints lol. Abraços de sp!!
looked like you needed more first serves in, and more free points on them
Are you coming to Drummondville challenger karu?
yes sir
Hit a bigger second serve or try different things on the second serve. Double fault or lose the point anyway. Be like G. Perricard. 129 mph average second serve.
Yonex AD Accel on your feet?
idk, guess when he gave you those off balance slow high shots after you got him out of position it would have been best to attack the ball and take more time away from him. Seems like that won you the most points doing that from these clips anyway.
What happened to Gui?
Basically, his style is, "pusher style"😂
Pffff show the second set man
7-5, 6-0 is the Final Score
Prestige players will always have my respect you can’t deny it’s true for all of us hahha
prestige players do it on hard mode!
@ 🤣🤣 OGs
I think that's the difference between the 200 and the rest of the field. You can't deflate and get discouraged after losing one set. Maybe talking to a sports psychologist would help?
that's a good idea
Pretty sure he mentioned that he does use a sports psychologist.
Quick answer is, no
⚡️⚡️⚡️
LFG
I don’t think you should compare a top 200 player (borderline) to one of the greatest players of all time. No disrespect at all, great player, but the big 3 are masters of the sport
You can recognize similarities between players whether they are top 5 or top 200. Let's see where this 19 yo peaks in the future. Seems to have at least top 50 talent based on where he is today.
IMAGINE Sell vs Kyrgios Australian open 2025
would be wild
👏👏👏✌
He tanked
What?
first
First like 😂
Nishesh has a top 10 djokovic-esque ball striking and returning . His serve and touch game needs to improve for him to reach the very top . best American talent of his generation
Nishesh practiced with the top guys at the tour finals in Turin last year and his returns and ball striking held up well against the elite like medvedev and alcaraz as well. Nishesh is going right to the top
Already 19 ... at 17 years 7month Shang Juncheng played Australian open second round .. so dont hype him that much ... at his same age Shang won Atp 250 ... i m not comparing him with Alcaraz or any top 10 players
@@damon-v1z top means top 100 🤣
Nishesh spizziri match was so dominant from the nishesh
I felt the same as well. Nishesh is a 8 cm shorter Novak. If he can improve his first serve . He is a top 10 talent
Karue,are you friends with nishesh ?
