    Thanks for a fun match Winston and getting to connect with you in person!
    Love what you are doing and look forwards to seeing you in the near future.
    P.s. Come to Wimby 🎾🌱

    • @nguyen925
      @nguyen925 2 месяца назад

      It looked like Dylan was going full send with every shot but his timing was impressive. Good play from both players! New tennis content creator for sure 😂

    • @blaster36000
      @blaster36000 2 месяца назад +8

      Honestly, you're at minimum 13.3 UTR Dylan, there's no way your pro level diminished, while you went into tennis content creation! Also, I think I should now hint at a clash between two certainly big tennis content creators? (Gee vs Sell?) 😏😏😏

    • @SpiritSlayer1
      @SpiritSlayer1 2 месяца назад +1

    Let's say Dylan was very "gentlemanly" during that 7th game 😁 But that's great hitting Winston, his game's truly 13+.

  • @CrabNoodleSoupp

    Dylan should do a tutorial on how to speak that smooth, posh accent.

  • @CameronNewland
    @CameronNewland 2 месяца назад +74

    I have no idea how Dylan would stack up against Karue head-to-head, but I must say, @tenniswithdylan is the first player I have ever seen on your channel who seems like he might be able to give @MyTennisHQ a run for his money! Let's see that matchup!

    • @SwanTech6061

      govind?

    • @OdinsMonkey
      @OdinsMonkey 2 месяца назад +14

      govind was super close.. i guess marcus giron has technically now been on the channel too (and a few pros in the last week for quick hits) and he has beaten karue

    • @james-tennis
      @james-tennis 2 месяца назад +6

      Definitely a collab id like to see. Karue just beat Fritz in a practice set, albeit Fritz look hung over and they're comfortable hitting partners, but Dylan does look really great here it would be interesting. If Karue's serve isn't on then it might be close. Plus the lefty factor is real

    • @dpadron
      @dpadron 2 месяца назад +8

      As of now Karue will take it, Dylan has not been practicing and training anything like a pro. Fitness alone is huge. But if Dylan were to train I don’t know, his strokes are awesome.

    • @ChaunceyDos
      @ChaunceyDos 2 месяца назад +3

      Dylan might be more “talented” but Karue was and is on a higher level. Their ranking and results, past and present, are definitive.

  • @ellison2546
    @ellison2546 2 месяца назад +25

    I saw many of his videos but didn't know he was a monster. You can tell so many other internet coaches are not great and not fit for tennis, but was a pleasure to see a bit more of his personality and his skills.
    Great content Winston

    Love the RUclips/Influencer tennis community at the moment, just such a positive vibe to it all. Great content here! Shout out to Dylan too. I didn't actually know his background or that his level was so high, have just seen his Instagram content. Have to say he seems like a really decent person too.

  • @caseyterbeest9394

  • @seanysean86
    @seanysean86 2 месяца назад +11

    Another banger from Winston, also impressive that both players seemed to be hitting well (score notwithstanding as Dylan is semi pro) even with first time using both rackets. With Dylan, amazing kick serve out wide to the forehand and also the way he loads and explodes on the forehand.

    Dylan!!! One of first ig tennis accounts I followed 2.5 years ago when I got back into tennis. Such a calm, sweet guy and good coach with a lefty swing I could relate to as fellow lefty. Had no idea he was this powerful and badass. 😳 Follow his account, very clear and great advice. Thanks again for a great video Winston. Awesome collab. Dylan!!!!!!

    4:11, you never meet anybody at the recreational level who can place winners accurately like that.

    Hey Winston, do you have any advice on how to get started in playing matches? I've just been playing with myself and taking lessons, but haven't had the chance to play marches yet. Not sure if USTA or UTR would be the preferred route.
