Damn that was some good tennis. He can really wind up that one hander too. You both look like you're playing above your UTR in this, even though they're already high ratings
Best of your matches yet. Truly 5.5 level tennis. You were wise to slice a lot of returns and take the air out of the ball at times. Your forehand would be more penetrating if you got more unit turn and stepped at your target. You really hit your backhand a ton.
Great match dude! I know we used to compete against each other during conference but I’m glad you’re still grinding after college. Keep it up bro hopefully I see you again at a future tourney
Super entertaining. Looks like one or both of you uses the "next gen" forehand where you curve the racquet completely around in the backswing. Was that taught to you or you just saw Sinner doing it? I only noticed this as a thing in the past month.
@@Eternal_Tennis yes very good program, you play in same conference with George Fox another great program!! The west is tough with you guys , CMS, Pomona P, Caltech, etc just like here in the northeast with the NESCAC Conference, there about 6-8 teams every year ranked nationally ….. good luck w your tennis bro
What level open? The open at our local rec center just finished. It was a L4. I’m sure there were some 9s and 10s in the early rounds, but the semis were all 12+ UTRs.
On hits where you really dig into your size and use your power the result is scary. I’m curious to see what it would look like if you emphasized extra explosion in a match, even if there was some sacrifice of precision.
cool! a great match! and both played in good spirits!! although that young fella racquet tap on the ground all the time lol. i can tell hes smashed a few racquets already . but thats how it starts lol. the racquet tap on the ground in anger. i know lol
I recorded matches for our USTA Regionals and Sectionals and the referees were ok with it. I didn’t need to blur anyone’s face. This was 15 years ago. So might be different now.
I couldn't find what you described, but I did find the one-liner that states they reserve the rights for any video broadcast and monetary value. It's possible that some YT channels could be breaking the rules if they are monetized.

Not a lawyer, don't work in this field but my understanding is if you're in public area, there is no expectation of privacy and USTA official cannot forbid recording especially since your opponent agreed to be in the video. Plain view doctrine states what the eyes can see in plain site on a public area can be photographed and recorded. USTA official has no authority to not appear on video if he is present in a public area. Now if the courts are restricted to run an access restricted event what I said previously can be ignored. Again best to ask someone who is a lawyer in the state/city you are located for an official answer than some random RUclips person hahaha. Anyways good playing against the high school player.
Love how effortless your shots look. Your opponent's backhand is nuts too. Thanks for posting such high level play!
@@tenniszerg Of course! Thank you for the comment and glad you enjoyed!
That was some awesome tennis to watch! Both of you are really good players, very fun to watch!
Thrilled that you enjoyed! Thank you

Appreciate it!
Your style is so relaxed, I like!
Props to your opponent, huge dap (handshake!) at the end there! SMACK Fun match to watch you guys are excellent!
Thank you and thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the match!
Your strokes and playstyle are so smooth man
Thank you!!!

Dang nice games. Dude was solid ass hell with a mean DTL BH
For real!
Great hitting and nice win! Your backhand reminds me of Safin's - super-compact and smooth, yet effortless power.
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!
Great match dude! I know we used to compete against each other during conference but I’m glad you’re still grinding after college. Keep it up bro hopefully I see you again at a future tourney
Much love bro. Appreciate the support!
What a great match. Very good level. Is it possible to keep the score? That would make it more intense.
Thank you. And thanks for the feedback!
some great tennis. thanks for posting
No problem 👍
dudes one handed backhand is nice
Your touch and decision at the net is top 100atp level
Maybe not that high but thank you 🤣🙏🏽

I see what you mean. The “racquet curve” as you call it has always been a part of my take-back. Just a part of my swing that I developed naturally.
Bro, your touch shots are ridiculous! How low of a tension are you using? Great match to post!
Haha thank you. My tension is at 52lbs
Great playing, where did you play your college tennis? I coach at d3 school in northeast and I’m guessing you played at a ranked school?
I played for Pacific University. D3 school out in Oregon. At the time we were ranked

who is the thiems brother one hander backhand?
9:06 sneaky sneaky
What level open? The open at our local rec center just finished. It was a L4. I’m sure there were some 9s and 10s in the early rounds, but the semis were all 12+ UTRs.
This one was only an L6
one hander guy plays just like Thiem it's crazy
seems like a thiem's brother ... who is he?
This level looks UTR 11+ to me. Amazing level. How do you do against guys who are 11-12? Can’t imagine you are far off.
I can hang with a couple of those guys but not quite at the level yet. Looking to get back up there though!
On hits where you really dig into your size and use your power the result is scary. I’m curious to see what it would look like if you emphasized extra explosion in a match, even if there was some sacrifice of precision.
Interesting idea. Will have to try this next time. Might be tough to sustain for an entire match, but worth trying!
What strings are you using here? FireWire?
These are YTex Protour
2nd video I watched. Experience = high IQ. Slicing his high topspin short nice.
9 utr!? Idk this looks like d1 tennis to me from both players. 5.0+ for sure
Thank you 🙏🏽
cool! a great match! and both played in good spirits!! although that young fella racquet tap on the ground all the time lol. i can tell hes smashed a few racquets already . but thats how it starts lol. the racquet tap on the ground in anger. i know lol
Thank you. Glad that you enjoyed the match! Not sure about the racquet smashes, but yes, there were a couple racquet taps during the match.
@@Eternal_Tennis Yea, all fine if he chooses to smash them after the point, but this guy was banging it IN the point. Not cool IMO.
Thanks for sharing. Where are you playing?
This match was at Lakewood Tennis Center in Long Beach, CA
@@Eternal_Tennis Woah. Used to play my high school matches on these courts. They look entirely different now!
Hell yea! Shoutout Lakewood TC$$

Interesting. Thanks for that insight? Which state were you in? I don’t think it would really matter but just curious.
@@Eternal_Tennis It was in Richmond in Virginia.
9:54 That volley was disgusting
Which Wilson shift racquet is that? 99 or 99 pro
It’s a Technifibre racquet. Not Wilson
@@Eternal_Tennis the iso 305?
If Lorenzo Musetti and Dominic Thiem had a baby it would be grey shirt dude. Overall, great playing and win
That's a pretty accurate combo haha
what Racket you use?
Technifibre TFlight ISO 305
I will be at this level one day. Sooner than later
USTA has an official's guide on line. It has a section on recording the match.

Players who yell like that had better make the pro tour or they should never be allowed to yell again.
This is why tennis has such a hard time growing the support. Why they’re giving you a hard time about filming a match is beyond me.
Your tennis iq is crazy
Thank you! Glad that you think so.
You're like the amateur version of Fabio Fognini. Super casual and nonchalant.
I'll take it. Thank you!

Appreciate the advice and the insight!
Good tennis. No fun to watch without scores. Would be great if you could add at least game scores.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the feedback. Will work adding scoring for future matches
No, it’s way better without it.
I’m sorry.
Which one is you?😅
Gray shorts and white racquet!
@@Eternal_Tennis
You have delightful touch.
Those volleys and drop shots won the match.
@@CaocaoXI Thank you very much!
brazy mode
yessir!
Both of you have way too much action on the forehand takeback that's causing a lot of inconsistencies and errors
True
Kinda makes me think of paire and gasquet. Maybe you're a bit French? 😂
Watch out, we have a pro coach here
Thinking the same watching this
