Michael Russell vs Woong-Sun Jun, 26-shot rally, Honolulu Challenger 2011 (HD)

Just a nice 26-shot rally. Michael Russell was playing some strong defense late in the match and ended up blowing out of his shoes. Bonus points for the guy behind me taking a cell phone call and the poor ball boy falling on his rear.

@darbocity I noticed the same thing! He was hitting short, to the same spot, so it must have been on purpose, then turned it up and hit 5 shots all super deep, within inches of the baseline, then went back to a short angle cross court which drew the guy in, and hit the passing shot.. Pretty interesting bunch of tactics there.

amazing how fast their 26-shot rallies are. russell really hit low to start with then got some more depth. i wonder if the low shots were intentional--to contrast with the high loopers at the end of the rally. or just falling really short.

@hawaiidispenser good footage. interesting tactic for sure... how'd you play this past weekend?

[@hawaiidispenser]

@darbocity Last weekend I played decently well for coming back from a back injury, but was definitely overhitting (I think to prove to myself that I still have the power) but was hitting more errors. That's how it goes! Raise the power, raise the errors. You play? You can answer in private message...

@hawaiidispenser yes that's right! hahaha--no--just with left hand--resting still. no more competitive tennis for me in hawaii! i'll stay in touch and keep on watching vids! happy weekend. laters! b
