GREAT post! Your comments during the play makes me feel like I am right there with you. Hard lessons learned on the court today will make you into the champion that you will be.
Keep going Felix. Youre inspiring more people to play tennis than you could imagine through these videos. I'm 26 and tbh only picked up a racket 3 years ago after watching you and your bro hit in all those older vids. You've got an infectious love for the game and will go far in life with your attitude. Couldn't praise you more, young sir.
It's honestly mind blowing how tight the competition is. It's hard to comprehend this when you just tune in to watch grandslams and atp masters. Good luck on your journey! Great content, subscribed!
Unfortunately elbow pain is a big problem and if you are already experiencing it, it will not go away, it will only get worse. I remember having elbow pains aswell but I did manage to play with consistent preparation before training/matches. Those tapes will restrict alot of your movement so they are not really ideal. I had a special elbow support that I used when I had light pains and it helped a lot. Also before training and matches I would take 5-10 minutes to stretch the arm really well and moving the elbow while pressing and massaging the area that would hurt while also applying some pain gel. You also need to pay attention to the weight of your racquet and the string type and tension. This is a key factor to the elbow pains
Lots of pros experience elbow pain with a recent example being Tsitsipas. He changed his Strings and Tension to a more comforting one so maybe that could be something to change without changing the way one playes.
No gluten.. Little amounts of dairy and meat. Stretching the elbow with weights. Like coach Dabul on RUclips shows... Yoga helps and lighter racquets. Lower string tension. Move to a co-poly or synthetic, multi for the crosses. Natural gut if you have the money..
@@hh-uc3gr Yep very tragic as he is such a special talent. Glad he plays great again as I really like his game but him not so much. But for Felix it could get better if he changes rackets/strings/tension.
Great video, there is nothing you can do about injuries, your coach is right, just have to find a way and deal with it. Good luck in futures, results will come after the effort.
Very nice content Felix! Hope you get well from your arm very soon! I see you already winning some matches in 15k Futures events! Greetings from Portugal 💪🏻

Your journey for tennis is really helpful for not only you but the people that look at this video too I’m trying to learn stuff in my game too and just wanted to say great content keep it up
Well done, Felix. Your high ranked games really are battle hardening you and keeping your bank account healthier :) Couple of spots, in my humble opinion: High rank players are super accurate servers sending the ball wide, down the T, and so it may help you to stand another metre back on receive to buy time. Also, you could think about slowing the game down when the player rushes you, mixing up the pace of your game, and also sending the ball slow and high from deep especially on back hand to give you a chance to reset. Also, how about going a little higher on the top spin, perhaps trying out 6 feet above the net Nadal style to create more pace and reduce errors. Again, hats off, great progress.
Also, btw, the more relaxed you become in your game, the less issues you'll have with your arm. This was a revelation to me. Perhaps try and focus on extending your arm through the stroke Federer style. If its bent on contact you will suffer from tendon/joint issues in the area your physio was addressing. Maybe you've got one of those grip straighteners to build the muscles in that region too.
Happy Easter and good recovery to you! PS: I second Andrei below about racquet and string/tension choice. You're not going to hit less frequently or less hard any time soon so you should test out less punishing gear options; not sure how this interacts with your sponsorships, for rec players it's easy to switch to a large sweetspot light swing yonex, you may not have that option but you would be wise to find something easier than your current setup.
LFG! This is quality content I look forward to every weekend. I like the way you analyze your game - very fair in terms of pointing out what you did well and what you can work on.
Well done Felix you played really well in your matches and you were unlucky to get injured. I think a good progression for you would be to get to a final or win a British Tour event as that will give you the confidence to play in futures events. But wherever you play next goodluck and I'lllook forward to watching your journey👍
I have elbow pain too I play tennis a lot I’m a 9.5 UTR big forehand and nice serve, what helped me relieve the pain was straightening out my arm when I hit a forehand and hitting the ball more in front. I tend to notice everytime I feel stress and pain on my elbow is when I hit the ball a little late and with a bent elbow. The bent elbow caused a lot of stress built up everytime I hit the ball especially when making contact with the ball late. Recap: 1.) hitting out in front (rather to the side of me) 2.) hitting it with a more straighter lengthen arm to not put stress on the elbow. There’s videos on RUclips for techniques to hit with tennis elbow, hope that helps. Great video 👍
So happy to hear that you won the second match in the champ tiebreak! 😂 Hope that your elbow recovers and then onto the next one 💪🏼. Getting better every day
Thats right felix! i'm dealing with the same problem as you, playing a lot of games and not giving time to recover made me play in a different style doing more net shoots and not using only brute force in FH and Serves! great content as always! Cheers from Argentina
Don't be explosive, work on agility, wider leg position, wider step, save half a step on an exchange and you'll save many steps, many calories... also on the horizontal move try not to cross your legs when you move. As for the elbow - check your tendons in your hand, a racquet with a thin frame can cause a lot of stress on them, which can then distribute upwards. Keep up the good work. You'll get there. Great content.
Great video man, hope you get the atp points when you start playing the ITF tournaments! Just out of curiosity: since your channel is called 'tennis brothers', does your brother still plays tennis? Take care and keep it up! 😁
I know this pain, when I was training and I had blisters on my hand, I couldn't even play and I tried to forget about it and when I had a tournament a went to the finel. U need to fight if u have a pain or not!
You put hard work. Take Care of your body. If you Can avoid as much as possible injuries you'll progress faster. Btw, do you know how to play on clay? 😁. I know you are from England but clay is the surface to master as you Can basically play on futur / challenger a good part of the year. Cheers from France.
Well played Felix! Hope that your arm feels better soon. Not sure how much this helps, but I usually stick some painkiller (ibuprofen) tablets in my racket bag just in case.
Helath issues is the big deal in tennis carrier, example Samprass, so I woul like to keep playing than not playing. I undestand the objective Felix, but giving time to let the body to recover would be wise decision. good contenant, really enjoy it and learned from it. Keep up Felix, T rooted for you
Hey Felix. I disagree with your coach. Playing injured is not a good idea in my opinion. This can cause serious damage to your body in the future. I did this when i was young, and now i have to deal with problems in my knee and my ankle. Love your videos!!!
Yes you are of course right. - I think I did not clarified this in the video - The pain I had was caused by some strain in my arm. The physio checked me and said that it's not a injury that needs me to stop playing - so playing will not make it worse. It was just a thing where I need to play a bit less and I'm good again. We all agree that if it would be a injury that would cause more harm in playing - then I would stop. Sorry for not being clearer in the video ;-)
Interesting advice from the coach, need to switch things up and find a way to minimize your injuries. Sounds easier said than done, but makes sense. Reminds me of Agassi’s book where he says not all wins are pretty, a lot of times he scrapped by and did just enough to get the W.
1:24 impressive that you returned that lol because to someone like me that only plays recreational tennis. That serve would have been too hard to return, I would've sent the ball flying
Keep on believing man! Don’t lose hope, you will get there. I would like to know what you are doing to improve your mental game. Do you seek help from a psychologist? You may want to explore that side to improve your chances of winning matches.
I'm a begginner and had elbow pain after a week of more intense practice with my old racket - since I switched to a heavier stick (Babolat Pure Aero 300g) I've never had it again. Maybe consider trying some other sticks out and different string tensions in the off-season to prevent it next year?
You ever play any NCAA all Americans ? My buddy was all American and tried to go pro, just wondering if you came across any in your Tournaments and if you beat them with ease?
Thank you so much for the great content Felix!! I hope you get your first ATP point asap
appreciate it 💙
@@wrench9103 I really love Nadal and everything but I disagree with you. I think felix is a great tennis player, both on clay and hard courts.

I would suggest you make a video per match or 2 so we could see it more in depth and understand it more. Would be awesome!!
This channel gets more exciting every video. It's like im playing franchise mode of an tennis game and watching the growth of an ATP star🤣
Haha 😂

Your videos are amazing!
Well done Felix. I hope to get your 1st ATP point asap.
thank you - fingers crossed!
@@tennisbrothers 👍🏻🎾
Well done Felix you played really well in your matches and you were unlucky to get injured.

But wherever you play next goodluck and I'lllook forward to watching your journey👍
Good points - Would love to reach the final of a British Tour again.
@@tennisbrothers I'm sure it will happen soon Felix as your level is getting better week on week👍

Thank you ! Great feedback.
So many variables to deal with to improve. Good work! Your videos are fun to watch.
Playing without pain is something the pros don't know. Not Always pain but at least not being at their best because of some injury.
true
So happy to hear that you won the second match in the champ tiebreak! 😂 Hope that your elbow recovers and then onto the next one 💪🏼. Getting better every day
Looking forward for some great content as always. Keep up your great way and ongoing development :)
Thanks a ton!

I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks for your comment.
Congratulations on your first prize money! Hope that arm gets better soon💪🏽
Loving the vids so far! Btw what software do you use to edit your videos and why?
i use final cut pro as i use apple but adobe premier pro is just as good
I'm using Final Cut Pro - I think it's the easiest to use,
Give this guy a wildcard to Wimbledon. Do it All England Lawn Tennis Club. Do it.
Amazing video! Hopefully you can fully recover from your injury quickly!
Already done. I'm back to my old form

You got so much more real clay courts. I love clay btw. I played a few weeks in Germany - on clay. Looking to play more on clay in the summer.
Congrats! Hope you feel better.

You will come back stronger!
thank you.
Fix any flaws in your technique / stop hitting to your opponent's strengths / vary the pace the depth and the angle on both sides.
Even the 8th guy looked impressive
greetings from Malaysia
Not sure what string you are using bit perhaps it can be wise to try a more gentle poly at lower tension?
Hi, love your serves. Can you please make video about how to build serve like you :D
I'm a begginner and had elbow pain after a week of more intense practice with my old racket - since I switched to a heavier stick (Babolat Pure Aero 300g) I've never had it again.
Maybe consider trying some other sticks out and different string tensions in the off-season to prevent it next year?
Yh I think I will loosen tension and change weight distribution slightly
You ever play any NCAA all Americans ? My buddy was all American and tried to go pro, just wondering if you came across any in your Tournaments and if you beat them with ease?
