Amazing play. Way to keep your poise while dealing with triple match points, not many can do that, much less against a top 100 player. Don't get discouraged either, these top 100 guys live for those third set tiebreaks. Your mentality, game sense, strategy, and athleticism will undoubtedly propel you to the top soon enough.
He does not deserve to be ranked higher. I’m sure players above him have been close to winning similar matches. So why would they not deserve to be ranked higher? It’s an individual sport someone has to be #1.
Incredible brutal hitting, high IQ tennis. Icing on the cake is Mikael. Yeap, you're definitely top 100ATP talent ma man. You did a fantastic job reading Mikael's serves. Ymer takes down giants and you surely gave him shots to take you seriously, not to mention that this game could have gone either way. Keep grinding Simon. Cheers! M
Your focus on MPs down is impressive, especially the way you turned to attacking and coming down at the net with beautiful volleys. I love your net game. That point on 1-1 on tie break is amazing, too bad you didn't win it 😢 Thanks so much for posting such great content
What a match,honestly love your vids, rn I’m on holiday for 9 days and I’m coming back home tomorrow and I can’t wait to play again after watching your videos
Awesome match. Your serve and groundstrokes are top 100 for sure. I think that your return of serve could have been better to force Mikael into more errors and he is not that strong in the net;otherwise, you are definitely a top pro in the future.
I think the only difference between you and your opponent was that the opponent stepped up in the court more, putting more pressure and taking more time away. You’re a great player and I think you’ll become top 100 soon! Also, I'm a junior player aspiring to become a college/pro tennis player, and am improving very much in practice and practice matches, but feel like I don't play that well in matches. Are you able to give any advice about this from all of your tennis experiences?
Hey Sea Bass!! Write me a dm on instagram with your questions and I’ll promise to get back to you more in depth with some tips I hope can help you on your journey 👊 keep workin hard and have fun out there 🎾
Promising result and game wise! Competition is nowadays really high-level and margins are smalll, indeed. There are no shortcuts to the top (100) - except for Alcaraz and Rune lol - but the path of making all the small things right and working on the basic factors contributing to one’s success day in and day out. Unwavering motivation for hard and physical training and the mental side of things in general are the most important things in this ”lottery” for the top of the pops…
That was awesome hitting! You can hang with the best man! I actually think your forehand prep is so much earlier than Mikael's, which makes me think you have so much potential ahead of you! Keep going!
Awesome performance Simon! Seeing that your level is not far away from top 100, what do you think the difference is between where you are now and someone as good as Mikael? Keep going Simon!
Thank you Grant! a lot of different things goes into it for sure, but simply said, I need to get a little bit better everywhere haha! But focus and mentality is a key part for sure, tricky to stay in the moment and "focus on the right stuff" for a full match, those small dips in focus really make the difference
@@Simon.Freund deffo. I guess at the elite level the margins are so fine that a lapse for a game or two in a set is the difference between winning or losing. Keep going👍

Very little difference between Mike and you on this match. Don't know if that's the best you can play and maybe it's Mike's average level and he plays better in official matches. Keep grinding, the future is bright!
I'm not a coach or anything, but that backhand slice... like it's gonna be a two-hander. Such (low) preparation greatly compromises the pace and/or backspin I think. It looked like a pattern as I spotted it more than once.🙂
Seems to me that MY's forehands don't really have that wrist lag and whip-like motion, but he still gets so much pace on the ball cuz he's so strong and athletic
Better get practicing that backhand, being as Ymir targeted it hard and it was spraying, and you've just shown all your future opponents that on youtube :P Still fix that and next time you beat him!
In the breaker you were trying to be way to aggressive. Your court position was way to deep to try for the angles you were attempting. That created too many errors on your part. At that moment you have to make him hit more balls especially off his forehand side which is the more complicated side for him. It tends to break down in tight matches.
That was nice of you to let him beat you!
gotta help a friend sometimes

Crazy that you took a set out of the top 100!!, you deserve to be ranked higher!

Really close match Simon. Looks like it got a bit to your head on the tiebreak but clawing back from 15-40 was insane!
Thanks for the upload. Love it 🙌🙌

Just shows how truly small the margins are.....It's all mental...especially the higher up in the rankings one goes....Keep it up my man!

Thanks for your comment Lukasz, it really inspires me to keep going!!
9:23 moving forward on the short ball and taking it early. So satisfying to watch, and that was a deadly backhand winner.
You had it. In the tie break you changed a bit or something but you’re on your way to the Top 100
It looked like a fun match!
Nice reflexes and crazy flexibility. You always put another ball back, it's insane!
Great match! While Mikael might have won, I prefer your to watch your game- solid play. Keep grinding! ✊
I like in the other court, how the 3.5 played as if nothing happened on the next court 😂

You played really good. Just some tired shots in the tiebreaker. Must be nice to know you're at that top 100 level.

Wow, Impressive, you are improving fast, the win was close :)
Amazing Play. Keep going !!
Wow! The level here is insane!
Awesome performance Simon! Seeing that your level is not far away from top 100, what do you think the difference is between where you are now and someone as good as Mikael?
Keep going Simon!
Most likely mentality

Thanks you so much for sharing this. We follow you, my son and myself. It’s very interesting to watch 😉
Thanks for watching!! All the best to you and your son :)
you guys are hitting the cover off the ball. beautiful stuff.
Thanks for sharing. Love the camera point of view. Like I'm there! 👍
what would you say the main differences are with players in top 1000, 100, 10, etc?
Mentality
unforced errors
return games won
mental strength
consistency (in a tournament and throughout the year)
Genetics and Coaching

WOW Simon you're so so good man. Really not much difference between 1000ranks and 100 ranks
2:14 damn that was fast

What a nice tennis facility
Woah this court is incredible
great playing!
This is nice.
played so well you made him retire, that's crazy
Ymer is a hot-cold player but this was phenomenal playing
Thanks!

Your speed is 👏 amazing! Take care of your body. Focus on injury prevention, not performance enhancement. Best of luck!
great match, but u gotta stop putting the score in the thumbnail 😅
Really shows how small the margins are
When you see it after he beat bublik🤯
tough set. like the camera angle bring on the pancakes
Check out the match I'm posting today!! You won't be dissapointed :)
Did you add some weight to your racket?
In this video I was playin with a racquet where I added about 15g’s in the grip I believe
why was the last point won by Myer? the ball was smashed out
The ball before was obviously going out so Ymer gave it a joking whack--in a match between friends, you can mess around a bit
hey man, just wondering.. How heavy is your rocket atm? without the string u have any added weight to it?
Hey Tomas! Right now I actually dont have any added weight, my racquets are about 310g, fully stripped
Rocket* :)
@@Simon.Freund damn interesting, thank you :)
Whats ur racket set up
I play with Wilson pro stock 18x 20 👊
wow amazing content, do you use your racket in stock form?
I play with the wilson blade pro stock version! 18x20 :)
You are so much more solid than Mikael! you can easily be in the top 100
Better get practicing that backhand, being as Ymir targeted it hard and it was spraying, and you've just shown all your future opponents that on youtube :P Still fix that and next time you beat him!
Haha, hopefully my backhand holds of better these days!

You should record these in 4k.
I'll look into that! I'm new into the whole filming scene, looking to learn. Thanks for the feedback
How did ymer lose a set. Was he playing his best against you?
I will let you win next time.
I need you to play Karue Sell from MyTennisHQ
I think in this set you gave up too much ground and waited too long on the bhs.
Unforced errors and an inconsistent backhand. Fix those two issues and you'll be cruising.
You lost because you didn’t try the pancake serve!
:(
8:29 - out? lol.. that was in? wasn't it? or what happened.
top 100 is taking opportunity to lie
His return was out becire
How did you appear so late in professional tennis? what did you do until this age?
Played some college tennis, then been a bit unsure if I wanted to go this route. But now more decided and committed than ever. Wanna make a push now!
Did you experience racism
