Tennis Singles : NTRP 3.5 - 4? [Poor Shotmaking]
Haven’t uploaded my tennis games in a while because I recently lost again in the first round of the STA tournament, playing really badly recently. Have been spending time working on my groundstrokes
But here is a combination of a few of the singles that I have played over the past 2 months. Would upload my tournament match in the next video. Feel free to comment!

Singles with Cary : NTRP 4 Tennis
Переглядів 1 тис.Місяць тому
Late upload to UA-cam as I was too busy with work. This was a game that I didn’t play too well but there were still some positive sides to it such as maintaining focus in the first set to climb back up from almost losing it. Cary always manages to return my balls no matter how hot the weather is or how “fast” I am hitting my winners making me doubt my aggressive shots. Am I not transferring eno...
Disappointing Singles with @fuzzyballstennisclub : NTRP 4 Tennis

Gotta be another disappointing match all over again 🥲 groundstrokes are off, recovery positions are off, absolutely no sense of the balls at all. Hitting multiple enforced errors like water flowing out of a broken tap. What a day Ben is 3-0 and is currently undefeated by yours truly. Knows exactly where to attack and focuses on putting the ball where my weakness is haha on top of that, he is ab...
Singles with Steven : NTRP 4 Tennis

Haven’t had a chance to play recently but managed to fine tennis game today! Came in with a mindset to reduce the unforced errors and yet maintaining aggressiveness in my shots. Although the intent was met, felt that I the opportunity to move towards forehand shots should have been done more often as that was my strength. I am the one wearing a grey shirt while Steven was dressed in black. Stev...

Played another match on the same day of that disappointing tennis tournament match that I had played. Glad I managed to find an opponent to play with despite the last minute post on Rovo. This was an extremely long match of up at 1hr45mins of playing. Losing and winning break points got me both happy and upset, having a multitude of emotions during the game 🤣 Justin really ran for each ball, pl...

The game format is a fast four (no ad) as the schedules were pushed back to the poor weather conditions yesterday. Well, this was another disappointing tournament match where I couldn’t move my feet much and my stamina couldn’t outlast the hot sun. Honestly felt that I was able to win this match but my mental breakdown got the better of me. Joao was able to take the hot weather and he maintaine...
Singles with SL : NTRP 3.5 Tennis

Pretty rare to be able to book an indoor court at the Kallang tennis hub! I was slightly late and wasn’t able to warm up properly thus the poor performance throughout the match. STA tournaments don’t allow us to warm up longer and we are limited to only 15minutes for serves, strokes and volleys ; something that I have to tackle with the lack of warm ups. Interesting game throughout and it was p...

Been playing a couple of matches recently and posting a new video that I played last week. It was the second time using the hybrid poly strings and it has been quite interesting as I was able to feel more and generate more spin.

Playing a third time with Tushar and constantly working on maintaining aggression with consistency. The first set was rather bad as I couldn’t seem to be making sense of my shots 🤣 making a whole lot of unforced errors when not needed. The second set was much better and I used a different set of strings which I tried out recently. It was a hybrid poly of Hyper G as the main and confidential in ...

Pretty much embarrassing 2 sets, totally making mistakes like free hahaha there were some good rallies with some aggressive strokes but I couldn’t really maintain that intensity for the rest of my games. Totally got destroyed playing this losing 6-1, 6-1. The score can’t be show as there was some issues with SwingVision. Nevertheless, enjoy the game! PS : I am the one wearing a black shirt and ...

Posting another game while still having the arm injury where my arm couldn’t hold a racket properly. Shouldn’t have played this day as I wasn’t able to serve properly nor have any decent groundstrokes. However, thanks to my opponent Ryan, he lent me some muscle spray and it worked wonders!! However, I was already losing the game and I couldn’t climb back up :( Ryan has pretty solid groundstroke...

Second video I am uploading nursing a current tennis injury on my right hand. Didn’t really play well as my arm was hurting and couldn’t provide much power. Key highlights are as such : 2:16 - 2:23 : Nice Drop Shot 5:16 - 5:31 : Tweener Point Both Don and I were injured at that point so I guess we both couldn’t play our best. Nevertheless, it was still a fun game and hope to play with him again...

This was an interesting match imo. The scoring wasn’t well done but the final scores were accurate. I was 4-5 down and was on the verge of being broken and losing the match. However, I stayed focus and remained consistent thus eventually winning the set at 7-5. I also started to feel a sharp pain on my right arm and was seemingly struggling to shake it off, my subsequent 2-3 videos would actual...

A step to expounding on different techniques to improve my game. This game was mostly focused on developing a better second serve with the balls having a higher kick. However, realized that I was losing power and was trying to fix that throughout the game. Nevertheless, it was a rather interesting game. Biren is an extremely friendly player and has a strong forehand. He pushed me to make more u...

We'd have a lot of fun playing together. I have a comment about your serve -- leave the ground and jump forward into the ball, even if you're hitting that big round topspin stroke. Your left foot is virtually on a pivot and gets maybe 3" of vertical. You've got the legs launch upward. Use 'em. Nice hitting!
played until the sun went down lol, great match!
@@TennisXu thanks!
yo dude, loving that 1-handed backhand bro, especially the jump backhands hahah 🙌

@@クリームイカ 🤣
Thanks for the kind comments. @leisurefarm I would seriously say we both played horrible (way below each of our normal standards) this session. I would rate my performance here as 5/10 of my capabilities. Bad day. I was already physically quite beaten up (with a swollen right knee) but was super keen to try the Kallang Indoor so I linked up with Nat, prepared to just hit around (as strings were also knowingly quite dead) and play a very easy going game. Was in fact a little taken aback when Nat whipped out his camera and said he would record the session as I knew it would only be crap from me. As sure as Roger's forehand, 51yr old me, started off fine but was already panting midway by the 3all point, huffing and puffing, armed with uncontrollable dead strings and unwilling footwork that kept me struggling in simple shot production. Nat had to edit out all the time i took in between serves, as i was trying to catch my breath back. 🥲Consistency together with strength and footwork, of course, went completely downhill as my stamina ran on reserve despite trying very hard not to show it. As for Nat, I really appreciate his gamestyle, fast committed hitting with crisp serves and taking the right chances whenever he can. None of that pusher shit. However, he had his fair share of unforced errors in this game which i am sure, frustrated him too. Overall Nat was quick and agile around the court, as seen especially with the tweener, a complete contrast of my sluggish lethargic painful crawling. I guess I was asking for it, going up against someone 20 yrs my junior in a singles game. My dressing younger didnt help either, damn.🤣😂...hahaha. Cheers😄😀.
hahahahaha...who taught you ladies how to play ?
@@markthomas3730 haha perhaps you could show me a video of you playing
this is legit 4.0 bro idk what else
@@badcgi4624 probably not 4.0, maybe a 3.5. But mark thomas is maybe a 6 🤷🏻♂️ who knows.
Good match! Hey man, would you know what sweatproof mic would be compatible with the SwingVision?
@@theblurr haha I don’t use any sweat proof mic, not sure about that!
nice court, is this in singapore?
@@azuremountain yes this is in Singapore!
you seem to be your own biggest enemy in tennis, you are never out hit and it's always you who hit wide or long. If you wanna improve you should work on the high balls you get in the middle and learn to take them higher so you can put them away, instead of letting them drop making you have to hit upward reducing your ability to generate pace and angles. You get so many of those points on most of your matches because of your strong ground strokes and serve. Basically practice going into the ball more and learning to see when the ball will be short so you can take it shoulder or slightly below shoulder level instead of waiting short balls to drop to hip or even below hip level. This is not a technique thing it's mostly a ball reading skill
@@louisedyhlen3234 thanks!
Agreed! You just need to control your shots a bit more and play percentage tennis. A lot of those easy balls ended up long.
@@profan10 I wouldnt say it's about playing higher percentage tennis it's more about ball reading skills so he's not so late to the ball in opportunities where he has huge advantages
Definitely you had the skills and chance of defeating Joao! In the tournament, your opponent might be more nervous than you. So, try to keep the consistency level high at least the first 3 or 4 games without going for too much. Aim to hit inside the lines (1m from the lines) rather than on the lines. When the nerves settle, you can go for a bit more but still need to balance between attacks and defence and yet keep the consistency level up.
@@caryturangan9637 thanks!
amazing level! very consistent and good points. for sure above regular 4.0 tennis
They are high level 3.5 or beginner 4.0 players.
Вау, корт просто супер! Может быть когда то мы встретимся и снимем совместное видео 👍🏻
what's ur user on rovo? let's play someday.
@@wstew my user is natg. You can find me there!
Super serves from both! If Nat could put more balls in without going for too much it would be more even. Nevertheless, both played extremely well despite the one-sided score.

Dont be so hard on yourself. NatG. I lost to you too. Thats tennis. Some days we suck and others we are fine. Just play 2 sets of singles with a 35 yr old and 3 sets of doubles the day after. Now my knee is more swollen then ever and i’m limping, so got to postone our rematch yet again. 😢😢😢
good job bro
Your game looks great with variety in big hits, slices, and net approaches! Just need to work on the chances (approach shots) that these variety created for you and you will be an excellent all rounder
@@machumachu777 thanks!
Where were these courts located?
@@PerfectaSc0re this is Bukit Batok.

Cool court I guess, but you'll need a bigger court once you guys start applying angled shots regularly.

Great stuff, man. Looking solid!
@@geeztim8250 thanks!
You have way better technique and much faster and cleaner shots, you serve looks really good and is also better, you missed the majority of your drop shots and ur slices are noticeably worse than ur other shots. I suggest you have patience in ur rallies you would not only win but dominate him. Its clear that you are better and i was shocked that the score is this close
@@REV_Pika yea, I agree! More patience in my rallies 😁
Totally agree.
Good exciting match from both. Finally some faster pace hitting and less pushing from Justin. 😅 Thats the way

@ no worries! Rest well 👍🏻
do you know why the swingvision was so inaccurate here? from other videos ive seen, its usually pretty spot on, but in this game there were balls that you guys called correctly but if you referred to the swingvision app, it wldve been so wrong
wow epic match point! Well played
@@MrRovoLova thanks!
nice match to watch. 💪 none of that pushing stuff that's mostly out there.
Improve your consistency. Too many unforced errors for a 3.5. Try to keep the ball on the court, other than try to hit a winner every shot. Angulate less, control more, keep the ball playing until you can secure a proper winner. You're missing A LOT of returns because you're trying to hit a very angulated ball in a narrow window. Keep the ball playing, don't try to finish in 2 balls. Your opponent is cashing on your mistakes with zero effort. The backhand also needs a lot of work. Also, why always playing baseline? Try to attack from the net, you did a solid job when you tried in a few points. There's a lot to improve, but you play well.
Wow you must be a pro. This wasn't his best playing, true. He normally is much more consistent.
ya, u are basicly performing as a 3 with a 2.5 + back hand. Maybe try play with more power? u barely hit 1 baseline with speed
your opponent was very generous with your first serves. Nice video, calm vibes
@@louisedyhlen3234 thanks!
nice one-hander battle with big serves and big forehands from both sides.

@@DonYang73 let’s not be too hard up on the foot faults. It was still an interesting match
@@nathanielghui Sure, if its just once or twice, its understandable. Yes match was interesting enough. But if it’s high frequency and a godzilla step, it needs to be pointed out for the players own good. Otherwise, its like calling an out ball in , whether on purpose or not. Cheers

Remember that progress isn't linear; and we don't lose, we learn!
wow, the foot faults from the white shirt guy are quite serious, not one but both feet!
Exciting points and nice clothes! Well played and respectable score by the guy in pink considering he is so much weaker in every department than the guy in black.
I dont think you play badly, you serves are generating good power. I felt you are not ready to receive power serves, you still can generate power to retrieve back to the opponent. When you keep blocking the balls over to give him, which give him more chance to score.
@@dl669 thanks!!
Plenty of footfaults.
