I have never commented on a RUclips video but wanted to share some unsolicited thoughts. I have been following you and rooting for you for a while and that second set against Bogdan was my favorite style of play yet. It seems pretty clear to me that you are at your best when you strike first and don’t fall into the slice battles or percentage shots. Your serve and forehand are big and your volleys are amazing. Obviously easier said than done but I think you are at your best when you play offensively, redirecting backhands, jumping on forehands, and coming to net with the intention to finish the point quickly. You should feel really confident after that set and wish you continued success!
This is very good advice. There's been at least 10 videos where Felix is behind and then he goes "I decided to be more aggressive and play serve and volley" and then he gets back into the match. This should be the standard play, not the "I'm behind lets try something" play.
Playing a top 400 player is no joke, coming from food poisoning too. You did amazing in the second set especially. Felix, many pros utilise strategies to approach the net where they make most of their points from. I think you being so good at the net especially seeing this with your double games, you could definitely make a huge difference in your approach and results. Anyhow, armchair coaching aside; you're doing amazing. Cheers, M
Just want to throw out there Felix, you were a break up in a set against the number 383 of the world. That means you belong on the court with these players. You can beat them. Keep going champ.
Yeah, his talent level is there but I think he has big struggles with keeping at that level for the whole matches. It even happens at the highest of levels. Hundreds of people can compete with djokovic for some points and even a game or two, but not for numerous games or sets.
Felix is such an inspiration to all of us. I have been watching him since he was making shoe reviews. So I just wanted to take a little time to make a comment, about how you have grown from a pro kid, to a full out professional ATP player. Shanghai Open just finished, Sinner won, but next time I am 100% sure it will be YOU.😃
FELIX THAT WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL SECOND SET!!!!! I followed you for over two years and the second set was probably the best set I have ever seen you played! You opened a new level of your tennis game and was actually playing at a #400 level! I strongly advise you to keep playing aggressively and maybe you will unlock so many milestones in the future!!!💪🔥🎾
That bogdan guy amazes me, he is in atp ranking without being able to do proper backhand, its just slices and lobs.. and he is a master at it, wow. I thought I'm the only one who can't do backhand properly in above intermediate levels haha.
u said it well at the beginning of the second to come to the net pretty often. ive seen players play really aggresive against opponents like bogdan and it usually works cuz their slicing is a freeway ticket to an easy net approach. just takes time to realize this is the strategy to go for so the first set is kinda just figuring it out
Interesting. The pattern I always see is that the guy who gets emotionally invested -- super stoked because he is playing out of his mind -- is generally at a disadvantage. The ideal is to be always AT that higher level. That's what seemed to be the case with this Bogdan cat. He was just one level up. But of course any level we can TOUCH even temporarily we can BE at permanently with just a tad more time under the belt.
the shot at 5:40 from you is the kind of change of pace shots that will work on players like him. another one where you painted the corner at 6:32 is also a good example.
Well played, good initiative changing tactics and shortening the balls. You are fast, with good volleys - it could have worked. He was a grinder and finesse maker. Great match
Um... Mr. Felix Mischker I have a question that I'm getting a lot of mixed responses from my coaches. My question is: I play tennis, and table tennis. However, at certain times when I'm playing tennis, I get the feeling of just tryna change my grip to a table tennis grip (PENHOLD) and I just miss the ball. What do I do?
His hair was outrageous 😂. What is noticeable is how many balls he gets back - you have to win the point twice to really win the point. I did think you were quite passive against his slice - yes it was low and deep but I was surprised to see you engaging in slice battles - your backhand has improved so much, I did think you could have taken those on more and attacked that slice. Easy for me to say sat on the sofa obviously 😂
very interesting game and even more interesting was your take on the game. The big difference in games like this between winning and losing is psychology. Psychology plays such as big part. For example, we know from research that the more you win the more likely you are to win in a future match, however, the same is true for losing. However, there are ways to increase your winning. One simple tactic to start with is to set a goal you are 100% sure you can win. This can be anything like walking faster on the court than your opponent. But this needs to be practiced in training. You build up the level of difficulty of your goals as you practice this. Two things will happen. First your brain will starting to really like this feeling of winning and want more. The second and just as important if not more important, is at your present level it builds resilience especially to failure. Over time you would find your ability to stay focused for longer during a match without the mind drifting off ( which happens to everyone) become much longer. That allows you to think tactically with more clarity and you find you are thinking a few more shots ahead even when you are defending or on the back foot. Of course this all takes a bit more practice. But everything takes practice and maybe a little bit of luck. Keep it going and I am sure you will get where you want to get to.
I enjoy your videos a lot as always. It's a pleasure to rest and calm my mind. But if I had to change something, it would be the information of the title. You always do spoilers before starting to check the video hahahaha. I need more mysterious bro By the way, your style improved a lot. Keep going
That would have been a great match. I know Dylan. Great player. I played him a few times. Well done Felix though you got this. Any change playing some South African Futures?
If you watch the way Wu played against Alcaraz last week that's exactly how you have to play against better players. Don't let them get comfortable. Be 100% confident in every shot you take.
Once you realize you are at your best when serving and volleying, your confidence will go through the roof. Resorting to slicing a player who's slicing is just not your type of tennis. You have great hands, awesome fitness and footwork, and a decent serve. Feed off those skills and dominate at the net. You got the game, leverage your skills and work on being mentally strong. You are better than most of the players in the video, you just need to believe and execute.👍
Hey Felix, I'll just mention this again but you clearly have the game/talent to be ranked way higher. Have you entertained the idea of talking to a sports psychologists to hopefully break from that shell?
Felix: IAM SO HAPPY that I got my second ATP Point. LETS GOOO. Meanwhile Djokovic: Fuck I lost in Shanghai to the Carrot again I am so BAD. (made 650 atp Points)
That’s the result of showing up and pushing through. You increased your exposure to opportunities where you can get rewarded. Basically the luck surface area. The definition of good karma?
I'd love you to think about the language you use in your video and apply it to your gameplay. "The PRESSURE was mounting." Pressure is something we place on ourselves or apply to others. When I coach young players, it's about mindset first to establish a baseline/foundation for how they approach the game. How do you remove the perceived 'self-pressure' and apply pressure to the opponent? If you could do that more consistently, how much better and enjoyable would tennis be for you? The difference between a craftsman and a master craftsman is their vision and how they use all their tools. It's just something to think about.
FInally i see you playing the level that you need to go up the ranks!!! The 2nd set is the level you need to play, and be smart, if you are good on the net, try and go there much more!! You're not that top top and the back , and your voley's are great, let's go and attack!!! YOu have what it takes to go further, and deeper in Futures!! come on!!
against bogdan kind of player who plays off beat style of tennis to trip you up. you need to be able to paint the corners Felix. with a change of pace in your shots. the shots should stay with the same form but they should have varying speeds. and when the time is right you paint the corners with a rally winning flat shot or a deep drive with top spin. I think you are still not at the level where your top spin has enough spin to achieve depth without compromising your shot speed and spin but you can try that. from now on the higher you go the more these kinds of players you will face, 25K to the challengers level is where players start developing variability in their game style so keep that in mind. Keep progressing.👍
Bro simply u have to improve a lot ur fitness and ur endurance level to be able to play in a powerful intensity for 3 hours at least everyday or every others days , u have to work intensively physically
I knew a guy whose only point was from a walkover, he plays for Univ of New Mexico somewhere low in the line up … at least you earned your first one! Lol
These are very very nice tennis courts. Ones u would never see once u step outside that 5 star hotel Tennis courts in Indonesia are pathetic. They are getting demolished and decreasing in numbers. Those that still exist are poorly maintained. Giant cracks on the surface. Rundown toilet and building just typical of 3rd world dunghole Tennis is not a big sport in this land of terasi and jengkol. Im still confused they're doing this atp event here. Should've been in Thailand. Much better
Your patterns are quite predictable. You should work on those to make your game more effective. And learn to force your opponents errors so you don’t have to make shots every single point. You got weapons to put you in the top 100, but need to play a little smarter to make it there.
You got the point, that's all that matters, but remember that you earned your place in that position by training, playing, and winning. Keep it up!
And having fun!

Next time? Are you crazy? I hope Felix will be able to compete there soon but win with guys like Sinner and Alcaraz is not possible.

You deserve it, there is a lot more to come! Lets gooo!!! Keep it up!! 🔥💪🏼
You’ve got it next time Felix keep working hard and maybe you can make top 1000.
Great job Felix, as well as getting the point your UTR might go up.👍
Felix great effort out there love to see you succeed

Let’s go Felix
It might feel a bit undeserved to get the point that way, but after you went through to qualify, i think you deserve it.

Never get into long slice battles with one-handers, they cut you apart.
Do you even train ?
Felix: IAM SO HAPPY that I got my second ATP Point. LETS GOOO.
Meanwhile Djokovic: Fuck I lost in Shanghai to the Carrot again I am so BAD. (made 650 atp Points)
Strange comparison. I was happy to win a club match the other week. Everythings relative.
