Never has someone with 1 ATP point accumulated so many fans around the world. You've got so much support my man. Keep going, keep fighting, keep dreaming...
Anyone criticising you regarding the money is not thinking it through! You’re clearly doing the RUclips stuff as a full time job which is helping you live your dream. You’re a very impressive young man who is finding a way to make this happen for yourself. In my opinion, the improvement from 2022 to 2023 tells me that you’ll make top 1000 with ease by end of 2024. I reckon a bit higher than that actually! Getting on the rankings is half the battle then you start getting better seedings in qualies - giving you more chances to pick up points. You’ve got this Felix!
Impressive stuff. Great to see someone transparently showing what it takes to survive on the Futures tour. Hopefully the ATP/ITF will start finding a way to support the lower ranked tour players as it’s mind blowing how few professionals actually can turn a profit in tennis.
the only way is to take money off the winners and runners up etc. prize money and spread it around. The top players earn money off endorsement and sponsorship anyway For the lower tier players some sort of support on travel and hotels would make it easier for players to get around.
The main problem is that low level tournaments dont fill up the stadiums like say a local team sport would do. Here in canada we have very profitable junior hockey games but the players are paid a salary and they move around in a team bus. Its by no way a means to earn a living but this is just a sport after all. Making it to the big leagues is where the money really starts pouring in. Its ok to have a dream and take the sport seriously but always remember that there is more to life than the sport.
Your last episode I literally shed a few tears for your achieving an ATP point. I coached tennis for over twenty years of my life and I know what a miracle it is just to get to the college level and I know how hard you had to work. I don't know you but I'm truly so proud of what you've accomplished and I think you can continue to rise up the ranks. A lot of things are in place for you to do so. If you add a more shaped heavy ball for variety on your groundstrokes (in the right moments) while continuing to stay aggressive at the same time, the sky is the limit...and also continue to work on your quickness. Can't wait to see you another year or two from now!
The level of hard work and skill required for just 1 ATP point is mind blowing My respect for you and all tennis pro's has gone up 1000% Well done Felix, what a rdie
I just love how honest and transparent you are about your costs and how you're funding your journey. And kudos to you for using your entrepreneurial spirit to build your RUclips channel where it has now turned into a nice business for you that will fund your journey as a tennis pro that could also grow into a substantial revenue stream for you in time. And I think we all knew that you wouldn't quit😂I cant wait to watch your journey as you progress towards the top 1,000 ATP. I know you'll make it👍
Love that you guys support each other. The tennis community is awesome. Karue helped my forehand. Felix helped my mentals. To see you both supporting one another is the best thing I've seen on RUclips.
I wish you all the success in the world. Tennis is an incredibly tough sport. When people say “spoiled tennis players” they truly don’t understand the sacrifice and the drive it takes. Good on you mate 👍🏼
thanks for being transparent and also showing people what it looks like to do what it takes to make your dreams a reality. Your hard work on and off the court shows to the quality of your content, as well as the ATP points (I'm counting doubles too darn it!). I'm glad to hear that you and Ashley splitting was just due to distance, as i actually inquired on his page if you two were still working together. As always, thanks so much Felix, you inspire me to invest in myself more to achieve the goals that i want for myself, even at the ripe age of 42.
You're a legend man. I have been following you for so many years now and I have really enjoyed your progress and I am sure you will eventually get to the point where you want to be which is the top of the game. Keep fighting and keep dreaming!
I have been watching you for almost a year now. It is so impressive and inspiring to see your improvement. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK and now I've been watching you for almost 2 years and to see this has changed myself as a tennis player. I have always enjoyed watching your videos and I would pray that you win. I am so happy for you and good luck in your upcoming events!
i was thinking that since you go through shoes at an alarming rate and don’t have a shoe sponsor you could reach out to a lot of companies to try and get a shoe sponsor to help cut your price costs but with that said i’m excited to keep watching your videos and see how far you go
Awesome job Felix! Thanks for the transparency. It really confirms for me how tough it is for tennis pros. I hope the PTPA can make huge differences. Looking forward to seeing your next season and series 💪🏼👏🏼🔥
Not sure how people devote so much time to rag on others, I'm so happy you've finally taken the first step in your major journey! I hope I can see you play in person one of these days 🎉
Felix, loyal follower since day one, setting example to everybody's live, being bold and fighting for oneself dreams. Keep the good work and mantain the aiming high you had from the very beggining. From my point of view, top 1000 by end of 2024 if you manage to stay healthy while working as hard as you have been, and sharper as you have been lately specially... I believe you could easily crush next year target and therefore be more ambitious than that. Best wishes for your next months to come!
You inspire me keep going in my tennis dreams of becoming a pro. So glad you got your first ATP point after all this way! Keep climbing higher and good luck!
Just thought I’d add my support to the chorus. Way past ever entertaining thoughts of professional sports personally, but it is honestly fascinating watching your journey so far and the raw/real facts and figures behind it. Certainly food for thought especially if my kids were ever to pursue something similar. Best of luck for the future and the next step of your professional future and I’ll definitely be watching and rooting for you!
@@DanTuber trust his work ethic and determination. Tennis 🎾 is about 80 percent mental and the rest is all the training and playing that comes with it.
@@DanTuberyou clearly dont know tennis nor understand it. He has a very good shot at it. Unless you are around players in the top 1000 daily dont comment again
Shows you how good YT is for this stuff! For bands and music too. Nice one - keep at it, hope to see you getting more points and maybe playing some challenger tournaments or bigger in the UK so I can grab a ticket and see you play!
Investing in your dreams by your own hands is priceless, and inspiring! Here in the states parents spend much more for travel sports with many having no goals of next level sports... Not only are you inspiring to aspiring youth but your content is positive and entertaining! I'm a fan now and look forward to your rise!
Keep up the good work Felix and Lucian. You are already keeping the costs low. You will break past that. Develop consistently and you will get into top 1000. 👍👍
Awesome Felix! Can’t wait for the new chapter to come! It’s true what Novak and Ons was talking about in their interviews about paying more to lower ranked players, considering how much money the Tennis 🎾 industry makes and spend all around the globe 🌎. So cheer up mate, because their influence will spread!…
Wow, $125 per training day is really good. Coaches here charge $150/hr. The biggest commitment/cost is really your time, the opportunity costs of studying for college or working. Thank you very much for sharing your journey and the information is really helpful. Good luck to your journey!
Pursuing one's dream requires cost and sacrifices . Attaining one's dream is the reward and drives one to continue to strive for bigger dreams. You are on the path to greatness , not only as an athlete , but more importantly as man. You also inspire so many people that aren't even necessarily tennis players in pursuing their own dreams.
What an amazing video Felix! super inspiring. i hope you can keep building your game and making a living out of tennis. Congrats on everything you have achieved
Great video! Thanks for sharing it! Keep it going, we believe in you! I'm starting my journey as a tennis coach and this is such a valuable video! Good luck and keep going, we all start somewhere!
Youre videos inspiring me! Im playing myself tennis since 6 years and turn 18 years unsure if i still can reach the Top, if i dont been the best in the past.
I just got chills from hearing your new goal. You are amazing. All dreams cost money so don't worry about it. (You are also working on this channel really hard to help yourself, so, people should only have admiration for you) Vamos!!!!!! you can do it. I hope to meet you when you come to Australia. 👊💪
You’re so awesome Felix! Your journey is incredible, with all my heart, I wish you to achieve your next goal of Top 1000 ranking as soon as possible. And of course, your video is knowledgeable, inspirational, and entertaining; Everyone I’ve recommended to your channel all loved watching you. Keep up your dream! If there is anything we can do to help, be sure to let us know.
I love this channel it shows just how good you have to be just have an ATP point. It shows how hard you have to work to get there, the training, the mental and physical exertion. How hard is it to make it as a pro tennis player? You've show how hard it is! You are a great ambassador for your sport, let alone for yourself. Looking forward to seeing you in the top 1000,
Wonderful video. thank you for sharing all this, it's really interesting and allows you to understand at least to some extent the life of a professional tennis player. Good luck with your career!
Such a fantastic and motivating series and I'm glad to hear it's evolving rather than coming to an end! A great example of how you need to set incremental goals on a journey to a much bigger picture. Looking forward to the continued content and good luck with your journey!
This is an example of hard work, he's not using the money to buy expensive cars or just garbage bling, but instead putting it into a good life goal. I admire this approach.
Just an awesome journey! You have found a way to fund yourself by creating such a fanbase while your still so far behind the rankings! You have started a trend of sorts. You should post your experience and some tips to up & coming, on your lessons learnt ... what would you have told to your 18 yr old self, to look out for - strategy, game style, match tips wise. Words of wisdom will catapult your viewership even higher!
Congrats Felix! massive respect to what you are doing. You seem very genuine and transparent about money, not like Jules Marie who says that his season cost 200k 🙄
What I would like to know is. How many points do you need (aproximately) to get directly into futures main draws? I know it depends on the tornament but i guess it is not that different. And I don't really think the point changes your situation a lot, right? Except maybe seeding in qualies. Anyways, congrats, your progress in the last months has been pretty good and even if it doesn't make a lot of difference in your seeding, i'm sure it has to be a really special thing to be able to see yourself in the ranks for the very first time. Even thought I've enjoyed this journey, I hope the road to top 1000 is shorter.
Absolutely love this video. Goes to show how expensive pro tennis gets. Congratulations on your first ATP point. Can we have your road to first main draw futures win or road to first qualifying match of an ATP tournament?
Never has someone with 1 ATP point accumulated so many fans around the world. You've got so much support my man. Keep going, keep fighting, keep dreaming...
It's called using social media as publicity
@@maka3230did I say I didn’t understand? I just pointed out a fact. Take it easy lol

100% Agree.
W opinion
He's gonna be top 800 at least, already has the level, it's a matter of confidence
100% agreed
I doubt RUclips is fully funding that. I think there must be some help coming from family
Impressive stuff. Great to see someone transparently showing what it takes to survive on the Futures tour. Hopefully the ATP/ITF will start finding a way to support the lower ranked tour players as it’s mind blowing how few professionals actually can turn a profit in tennis.
PTPA...
Djokovic is trying his best. The only player there.
the only way is to take money off the winners and runners up etc. prize money and spread it around. The top players earn money off endorsement and sponsorship anyway
For the lower tier players some sort of support on travel and hotels would make it easier for players to get around.
Tennis has one of the lowest revenue distributions to athletes in all of sports at 17.5%, in most sports its around 50%
The main problem is that low level tournaments dont fill up the stadiums like say a local team sport would do. Here in canada we have very profitable junior hockey games but the players are paid a salary and they move around in a team bus. Its by no way a means to earn a living but this is just a sport after all. Making it to the big leagues is where the money really starts pouring in.

Question is, race to 1000?? Does the RUclips tennis community wants to see it?? 😂 with stakes 😏 lolol let's go Felix, keep pushing 💪🏻
Your on
Love that you guys support each other. The tennis community is awesome. Karue helped my forehand. Felix helped my mentals. To see you both supporting one another is the best thing I've seen on RUclips.
