For those who are commenting saying why doesn’t he just crush those underhand serves, well I gotta story for you. I remember during my Junior year of high school tennis, I had injured my shoulder so badly that I had to serve underhanded the entire season. Surprisingly I had won the most amount of matches during my entire tennis career. Opponents had no idea how to return that serve and they would get so frustrated. Since I didn't have my serve, l worked on my return game a lot, and ended up breaking a lot opponent's serve. I think why people had trouble with returning that serve was it didn't have a lot force and power behind it so players had to generate their own power, causing them to over hit the ball or hesitate and hit right it right back to me. It got to the point where I could spin it so much and make it land anywhere on the service court. Good times, as I loved seeing the reaction of my opponents who had just lost to someone who underhand served. If you think it’s that easy trying playing someone who underhand severs the whole match and see how well you do.
I agree that he should be able to do a bit more that what he was doing but it's def harder than it looks. The feed has little pace and purposely don't bounce high. If you hit the return sort of hard but not at the right spot, the other guy can actually easily counterpunch since you have to be inside the baseline to return that feed.
@@TS-er2jc exactly, its the same concept as the short slice ball where you cant really slam it since its short and low and you kinda have to give it more shape to get it in or just slice it back. I guess the most he could've done was try to brush the shit out of it into the corner but even that shot is kind of risky
Wow you know nothing about tennis. Inaki is 637 in the world RIGHT NOW, despite being a college player and not even traveling the world full-time. He's playing at a level of top 400 world. D2, you truly know nothing about tennis, for thinking that.
@@BaldeaglemanYT other than the underhand serve, they are playing ridiculously well though. Look at some of the points, the speed of Zhang and the power of Inaki is ridiculous.

True because most players don’t practice returning underhand serves. If he smash his underhand serve once, he will stop underhand serves.
how is he not slapping winners on the return
He could at least be somewhat aggressive on them. He seems scared to go for anything.
He’s incapable of hitting winners it seems. Just get the ball back in play kinda player. Can’t believe he lost to a player with under arm serve 🤦🏻♂️
Doesn't even have to be winners, the level he should be at is setting up for an easy placement
it might've been placed in a bad position for him to slap a winner or set up a good approach shot
@@phantomtroupe8430 doubt hes just a get the ball back in play type of player, he was the captain of the tennis team for 3 years
I'm assuming he's injured? Bc ain't no way a D1 player would continuously underhand server
Bro first match made me so mad not just at the guy underhand serving but at the guy returning too. LIKE BRO JUST KILL THE RETURN WHATTT
its not that easy lmao

I am so confused. Zhang looks like a great player but isn't punishing the underarm serve. Unbelievable.
NewYCphoto you should do a compilation of players hitting one-handed backhand winners
Why was he underarm serving?
could be injured
maybe an ab injury, severely reduces ability to serve
these courts gotta be slow. lovely for watching good points, especially the way college players play
why is michael zheng still playing college tennis lol
Man, college tennis seems to be going down in quality. 2010's tennis on YT is way higher than this
How trash could be your return to not be able to break a guy under arm serving
fr
Maybe bro felt bad returning winners out of the injured guy's underarm serves?
why is he serving like this?
This probably D2

@@JohnSmith-xn3yf I do I just never seen these players, I only said D2 cuz the way they were playing.

Man get that pickle ball nonsense out of here😤
Zhang is so garbage. Should not be D1. How tf u not beat someone with an underarm serve. 8 UTR at best.
