@@squalidseal6126 Where did I say that? I'm stating that they are in this doesn't mean I'm saying they aren't trying elsewhere, get your brain out your ass
I went and enjoyed it - but serious tennis it isn't - its an exhibition. You have music in between points for a start. Also the scoring actually is nowhere near as exciting as the actual tennis scoring system. Also there are no ranking points for these games. Its fun and players seem to enjoy it but its not a patch on real tournament tennis.Great for kids though!
They’re going hard bro, at what point is it still exhibition, they’re both going almost 100% UTS is extremely different from normal tennis too, if you’ve ever played before.
@ I agree with you. They go hard and give all what they have. However, in my opinion, UTS is a different sport. Very quick, challenging, and television-friendly. But still a different sport.
I was at the match. I believe they want to win it and are were pushing fairly hard. top 10 players for the final, they want to beat each other and enjoy the format. its hard to compare it to say ATP just because of the points and history for some tournaments on the line. It might actually make them play worse.
@@Vittorio-t2jDefine Sport… It has exactly the same objective as your so called usual Tennis with a vastly different scoring system, faster paced games however still has the top athletes within the sport giving their all which is highly entertaining! Have you attended a UTS event?! Like saying T20 isn’t Cricket FGS!
This is Tennis that is bringing the sport into a wider populated audience just like T20 has done with Cricket. You should only applaud the format! Attend an event and tell me you weren’t impressed by the format. We can enjoy all formats for the love of the sport overall.
honestly who cares. This joke of an exhibition tries to be like World Wrestiling instead of a legitimate sport. You can make a fun environment without creating childish names and carnival rules, i.e. Lavar Cup. Can you imagine a great player lowering themselves to this or a great tennis fan?
I used to be a big Holger Rune fan but muy got what a trash player he’s become. Everything slow loopy and to the middle of the court. I’m convinced at this point Lendl and Mouratoglou are the 2 worse tennis couches of all time judging by their record of young players they have ruined with their outdated tennis. I mean honestly are we teaching players that moonballing to the middle of the court still works in modern tennis? The guy can’t hit a proper passing shot to save his life neither. Just absolute garbage tennis he displayed today. You gotta be a special kind of mediocre player to be pushed around by Alex fing demianur
@ defender counterpuncher? Buddy Rune WAS THE ONE ON DEFENSE. Didn’t attack a singular time against a mediocre player like demianur. Rune should be dragging demianur around just like Sinner does. You can’t beat this athletic young guys with top spin. This isn’t Lendl walking circles around those skinny un athletic smokers that used to play in the 80’s these guys are strong, athletic AND tall and they have giant rackets too. As long as the opponent is able to run for the shot they are probably successfully defending it. You have to shoot WINNERS these days. We are back into the flat hitting era. Top spin doesn’t bother anyone anymore and farming unforced errors doesn’t work anymore. Flatten that shot and go for the lines. Take some damn risks. This guy’s idea of going down the line is shooting 2 meters inside the court, that doesn’t bother ANYONE. This guys plays like early Nadal, just absolute boring garbage moon balling around praying for an unforced error.
@ Tell me how I’m wrong buddy. Cause I can probably play circles around your ass. I played college tennis pal I know competition. Difference is i actually got a degree and work in Business Intelligence if you even know what that is. I don’t play tennis for a living. But I do know ball and I know exactly why Holger is falling behind. Or YOU can tell me why he’s playing worse now than when he was 17 years old and losing to Alex fking deminaur
@@henrysanji3989 De Minaur is a defender counterpuncher yes. Like Djokovic or Medvedev, or Murray etc. They slowball people with neutral safe balls, wait for opponents to attack to the corners, inserting pace and then counterpunch from the defense, typically cross court but not always. Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Medvedev have won million titles together with that tactic, and many Spanish have polished something very similar, total grind, and made millions. They are beaten by either not giving them balls to counterpunch on, so people play against them into the body and cross, loopy and slower, or, like Sinner recently, by hitting through them, but that's way more difficult, as that's precisely what defender counterpuncher want them to play. Since Jannik is the only one who can consistently hit through De Minaur's defense, and others just get counterpunched, so I really don't see why would anyone else use that tactic vs defender counterpunchers. And not even Jannik is using that tactic vs every defender counterpuncher, he plays differently vs Medvedev or Djokovic. Rune successfully used this tactic to beat Djokovic in Paris final 2021, and Sinner regularly uses it also vs Medvedev and Djokovic, loopy spinny balls into the body and cross, to not give him angles nor flat pace to counterpunch on, wait on him to insert pace and then counterpunch him with his pace. So no, they are not farming UEs against defender counterpunchers, they are forcing them to give pace to the ball, something they avoid doing, which is when they get caught by either their own tactic against them, or are forced to change footwork and hitting mode completely, which they like even less, as they collectively suck at attacking, and make errors between modes - defending off the heel and outer leg, and attacking off the front foot. Depends on the court speed, balls, daily form etc of course. You seem pretty ignorant for someone so convinced mate, as defender counterpunchers have stolen the tennis limelight since Nadal won Wimbledon a million years ago, and even before there was Lleyton doing the same thing, and got thrashed by Federer doing precisely what Rune was doing, loopy balls into the body and cross, not giving him flat pace to the corners, wait for him to insert pace and attack, which he doesn't know how to do well, and then counterpunch on him. Federer bageled Hewitt with that tactic regularly
Demon's forehand has been getting nastier and nastier this season. Really hope these fangs can get him a deep run at the AO in January.
Congrats to Alex, he has incredibly fast feet.
Disgusting pusher
Love this format.
Why?
I enjoy UTS, It's more face paced and it appears the players give it there all to win which makes it exciting
You don’t think they give their all in a grand slam match? 🤦♂️
I have exactly the opposite feeling. It feels like a tinker toy format and it doesn't feel like the guys are taking it seriously at all.

Would love to watch live matches but can’t in Australia. PLEASE FIX THIS!! 😫
He deserves this🎉
Alex is one tough Aussie!

Happy for the Demon. However, this is hardly serious tennis. Good and entertaining exhibition.

@@MrFoofarewyeah exactly. Professional athletes give their all unless they’re injured, whether it’s seen as a professional match or not.

Appalling commentary, beyond naff sideline texts…
The commentary suits the appalling nature of the format. This is tennis for people who hate tennis.

And what tactic would you use against a defender countepuncher then? You forgot to write some of that wisdom of yours
Mate you got no idea, you talk like an arrogant multiple slam winner and world no. 1 but probably didn't win u10s
