    I’ve seen Habib play live from about 5 feet away at ground level, the camera angle really doesn’t do it justice how hard and heavy he hits the ball, especially on his forehand . Great win!

    I remember back when you thought your forehand was your weakness. Boy does it appear to be a strength now, equal to all these big forehand hitters (like Habib appeared to be)! Also your ability to defend deep heavy shots and get out of those corners with quality (if you had hit short balls - like we ALL do - he would have certainly feasted). Major kudos and showing the way Karue

    I read an article in The Guardian titled "The Loneliness of the Low-Ranking Tennis Player" the other day. I had never thought about just how hard it is to be out there trying to climb up the rankings--the loneliness, the time on the road, the time away from family, the difficulty in finding practice partners at tournaments, etc. Much respect to you for getting back out there and putting yourself through it. It's easy to see how even very talented players like you would question whether or not it is worth it. Thank you for sharing it with us. Glad to see you having success.

    That's a great hold to win the 3rd set. Habib put himself in some bad court position by running around his backhand. You took some good angles when he left the court open and then came back to his forehand side as a counter. Smart tennis Karue. There's the physically ability to play the game and then in matches it's the "game within the game". Well done sir.

  • @brandonvereyken4869
    @brandonvereyken4869 5 месяцев назад

    You are quite literally improving with every match. I've never seen your forehand this good. I've never seen your returns this good! Your movement and incredible backhand are still off the challenger charts- main tour quality on those two for sure.
    I love most the way you are never satisfied. How good you are now is just not good enough. Don't practice every day to improve everything. Practice EACH day to truly improve ONE thing. Huge amounts of practice on ONE thing is when improvements really happen, and as in any sport, you don't always see it in the practice, but the following day or match, when you suddenly FEEL that it's right there when you need it.
    I don't know all your particulars, but your first serve looks effective to me even at this level, and I'd say the same about your second. Is this correct? Because if the stats on winning your second serve points ever struggle, at whatever level you are playing, then it's time to consider two flat serves which has a number of advantages I can go into if you want the mathematics of it all.
    If you are a 60 percent in flat server- and you try 2 flat serves instead, then you will get a flat serve (THE FIRST ONE) in 60% of the time, which leaves the other 40% of the time trying to win behind the second. But if the second is another flat serve, you will get 60% OF that other 40% in. In mathematical word problems the word "OF" translates to multiplying. So 60% X 40% is 24%.
    So, 60% of the time you get the first one in PLUS 24% of time the second one goes in, yielding a total of 84% of the points in your service games start with a hard flat serve in, and you win a huge percentage behind these. This basically mean you hand the opponent one double fault per service game, sure, but how many points does he win now by getting an aggressive return on your second serve?
    Two flat serves is very disconcerting to an opponent. It basically takes the racquet out of his hands and totally disrupts his normal return game feel. ALSO- occasionally you will throw in a spin serve- especially on a first serve, and he will totally flub these because he is never expecting this. In fact, you will want to save these largely for pressure points that you really need, because you might be more likely to double fault under pressure.
    2 Flat serves has other advantages- you only need to practice one serve mostly, so you will improve it much more, especially in landing percentage, but also MPH and accuracy. If you start getting 70% in, the numbers are amazing. 91% of the time you will get one in! This means only around one double fault per TWO games almost, and at that point it's almost impossible to lose service games unless DJokovic is returning.
    This might not apply to you because your second serve looks really good but again, I don't know what your stats are behind your second serve.

    Before I saw your end commentary, I kept asking if there was a speed gun on Habib's serve because I've never seen someone take the racket out of your hand on return, not even Fritz in your practice match. That last game was so clutch. I had a couple matches in college that were close that I squeaked out but that was about as good as it gets, because out of the last 5 points only the last was an unforced error. Bravo!

I still think he plays more like Nalbandian rather than Federer. I want him to come to net even more, but with how hard the other guy was hitting, not the easiest thing in the world to do. Onwards toward the top 100 :).He can do it!!! Great win.

    Opponent had a brutal serve and forehand. Great work defeating him. You won a lot of points at the net. Overall it looked like you played more creative than he did.
