Keep grinding Simon! You have everything in your game, all of us want to see in GS one day 💪
He does not have the game lol
@@matthewa7433agreed his swings takebacks are so long and slow, not enough for a heavy hitter. could do okay on clay
Keep fighting Simon !! It will come , you have the game and the talent to go further !
Like always love the content and a big supporter. One thing I notice when watching is sometimes on both the backhand and forehand your swing path comes across quickly when I think swinging through it straight through and letting those hands come forward before finishing the stroke could do you some good. All of us tennis heads know how good the highs can be and how bad the lows get, keep at it Simon we’re all rooting for ya!
Camera a bit higher up please. Valuable commentary
Dear Simon,
You are very good at returning in doubles and I think this can help you in singles as well, as you aren't as far back as in singles. Sometimes I imagine I do a doubles return game, visualize only having the cross court part and just put the ball there, take it early and block it back there. I have the feeling that this concept of simplicity is just better as in singles, there are so many options that sometimes can overwhelm me. So, I just keep it simple and that often works for me. I am not saying you should do the exact same thing, but feeding off your experiences in doubles might be a great thing for you!
Yes! Just gotta commit to it haha... I always chicken out in singles 😅
Thank you very much for video.
Thank you very much for your introspection on the match.
Best wishes!
Great video Simon, very unlucky not to break his serve a few more times.
Definitely think you should incorporate more net play into your overall game (serve and volley/chip and charge) I think your volleys and general net play are your best attributes.
Your opponent seemed like a player that loves being in a rhythm and I definitely think if you put him under more pressure at the net, you would have gotten over the line, as the majority of points you came to the net you won. Definitely would have been worth a try at some of the break points.
Keep up the good work💪💪
Minute 7.22
I will NEVER experience that.. 😅😂.
Great video nice mix up of a longer content and some shorter ones too! Good luck for the new year!
I love the longer videos!
Great play, Simon! You had a lot of chances against a very good opponent. I feel like you're putting yourself under too much pressure. If you played more confidently and relaxed, I think you had a good chance of winning this match. Easier said than done, though :D
Focus more on the positives! Onwards 💪🏽
keep at it man. Love your content.
Hello Simon,
love that footage where you analyse your own game. Looking at your double faults I think your body collapses to early. Maybe you should keep the left arm longer in the top position so your body is more upright if you hit the ball.
I am a big fan! Keep on the hard work!
Simon, honestly super well done, regardless of outcome. This could have done either way.
I also think that with improving a couple of these many variables you mentioned, such as your serve will make this a transitional point for you. Both these players were insanely hard to go against.
Thank you for the awesome video.
Cheers,
M
Keep at it Simon...once again, you won a lot of points at the net.
Love the Vapor 9.5s. Picked up a couple pair during black Friday. Awesome shoe, wish Nike would bring it back for good. Cheers Simon
Agreed!!
Hey Simon! This was a great match that you played, throughout the match, you might think that you weren’t doing enough on the neutral points, but I see that you were giving him pressure by mixing up with some slices and wait for your inside out forehand to his backhand which he hits long after, you just need to stay in the point and wait for the opportunity to come by, I see that you continued to target his weakness which is great! And I see that he kept making some unforced errors which you just had to stay in the point and wait for his mistake or an opportunity to put more pace on the ball/or come to the net when he tries a drop shot. He looks like a baseline puncher, so you could come to the net more often perhaps, thanks for great content! Continue to support you! Fight on Simon!
Crazy good hands!
keep going simon!
Keep pooping yourself Simon! Might want to double check the subtitles haha 3:00 🤣
I noticed that too 💩
😂😂
@@Simon.Freund Do you do 80/20. .
This guys game reminds me of Hubert Hurkacz. I’ll keep an eye out for both of you in the top 100 soon!
loving the contents and analysis Simon! just one question tho, wouldnt you be afraid of ur opponents using these videos to study ur style of play to beat you?
Not necessarily, hopefully they’ll just help push me to become a better player 👊
Gotcha well it’s probably differences in flexibility that allow for more hip rotation
Such a tough match, but great lessons and I think you can take him next time.
Looks better to me but I would say go for your forehand even more!
Great match Simon, just a amature advice but youre first serve isnt agressive enough . Youre landing in defence if that makes sence? I would like to see you more at the net after kick serve and after drops. You are super fast with great hands …….
The other guy played good btw credits to him of course! On to the next one
Can you please tell us what you use to record your tennis matches?
I have some links in my videos to my Amazon store, where I show all my equipment! Make sure to check it out :)
@@Simon.Freund okay so do you use the lamicall and clip it to a gate or something to record your matches? I wish if you could make a video of how you use your equipment please and thank you.
How u want to hit has to connect with ur stroke. So saying u dont have the confidence u need to do so in practice. U need to start pounding these balls in practice (consiously) . I had had huge problems serving but whats working for me now is to really understand its to get the ball in play first and not wanting to hit aces every serve. So getting the ball in play with enough pressure to stay in control (kick). I do kinda see a bit the same in ur serve as in, its a one puncher. Which gives a lot of pressure. But fundamental tech and playing matches dont go together.
I thought about turning pro, but I can't get off the couch. And I think I am addicted to beer.
haha, one thing at a time ;)
Your hand went ahead of your hips sometimes when you try to hit hard. The hip should still always initiate the swing and then snap your hand. Also you tilt your shoulder/upper body in many of your forehand to gain a little bit of momentum. It is not a problem doing it like in a return. But sometimes you might be unconsciously doing it when you were feeling pressure deep behind baseline. It is not a good habit in my opinion. You are certainly on the right path. Hitting more heavy balls with weight!
Whaat racquet are u using?
STIGA supreme! Available worldwide in about 2-3 weeks 👊👊
great video, only one thing, I honestly prefer a vídeo a little bit shorter as always
3:00
😂
Hey Simon.. this time it is impossible to watch with the position of the camera!
:( yeah sorry, was forced to use my GoPro and had nothing better to attach to than down below 😩 next videos will be better! Promise 👊
@@Simon.Freundno worries! I enjoy a lot your content and hope you keep posting stuff 👊🏼 keep fighting on the circuit 💪🏼
I am not a pro, if it is ok to leave a observation is that I think there is something about how you get to the ball, perhaps there is something you can do to use more hips? I think the way how you run and how you move is locking you up, your hip can't contract as much as possible so your steps are not as big as it can be.
You might be confusing him with the other player. Otherwise it’s probably just soreness leading to slightly limited flexibility. He doesn’t have any obvious issues with his movement if you watch all of his videos
@@Bird1502oh, sorry I am comparing the movement against a lot of top 10 players I see on youtube video. Sorry if that is not the right comparison to make.
Might be something since my ankle and foot issues, I've kinda felt like I've lost a bit of fluidity in my movement... Hopefully I'll get it back once I can start playing more consistently!
#230 in world? Is this to get into qualifying?
Hmm #230?
@@Simon.Freund was asking what ranking u need to get into qualies at Majors!
I can see that Hurkacz made a good match against you ?
You're not moving inside the court enough when you have opportunities. You need to take the ball earlier to get on top of these guys.
Firstly, it is so easy for us arm chair critics to critique your game but if you want my 5 cents, here are my thoughts...
I think the biggest gain you can make is to work on your serve and tweak it so you can add a bit more pace but more importantly, improve accuracy but also to reduce the double faults which is all mental.
Work on your plus one forehand after the serve to control the point right behind your first serve.
Definitely come in as much as you realistically can as you are very good at the net and its a great way to mix up play and control the points.
In the rallies, I would look to dominate more with the forehand. Try to take the ball earlier and use your footwork and bodyto create more easy power ala Fed and just trust you'll nake them.
I'm sure you know all of thislol
Very close match overall and a lack of confidence and mayne being slightly passive was the difference.
A strong off season will ensure 2024 is a break out year👍
You seem pretty negative on your game in the commentary. You did like a few shots here and there. Even though you aren't happy with your game, you were in this match. You are right in that being a little more aggressive on some shots may have changed the outcome. My point is that even though you didn't play your best, you still had chances.
I think you’re being too cerebral while playing. You mentioned in this vid that you felt you weren’t flowing through the shots properly and that you feel pressure in these tournaments. Remember The Last Samurai when he’s training sword combat? “Too much mind, less mind” is key.
simon, what would you say separates your serves from your opponents? are your serves too slow or do they not go in? how is it a disadvantage for you?
I feel like this is from a midgets POV. The tournament wont let you set the camera a little higher?
No spot higher up :((
Simon, from what I see you are average at everything except where you shine. you basically don't have a weapon and you need to grind every shot to win.
