      I have basic tennis skills but since i have been working on my positioning on court my winrate in doubles has gone up alot. Its insane how much more matches you can win by just being in the right spot at the right time :) It is something that is still overlooked by alot of amateur players.

    These guys ARE good. Of course it is hard to compare these guys to pro. They ARE good, but pro is a level further, bigger serves, more action on the ball, etc. AND, watching someone play on a video is very different from watching it live, so pretty hard to compare accurately. Darn good tennis for sure, thanks for posting.

    Eric Moonga utr 12.02
    Jakob Amilon utr 12.xx
    Fred Simonsson utr 9.xx
    I cant find utr's for Sebastian, but they'll be broadly similar. To give you an idea, Seita Watanabe is a utr 12.85 and is ranked around 1000 in the world.
    For me, this is a great level to watch and enjoy. Sometimes ranking doesnt mean a lot; its just if someone had a great few matches at a place where they managed to get some points. It can mean the difference between quite a few places on the leaderboard. The person currently ranked #1000 has 10 ATP points. The person ranked #580 has 50 ATP points. 1 good tournament can make that difference easily.

    • @Simon.Freund

      Hmm I think you have the wrong UTR for Fred Simonsson. And since all of them has retired they've certainly dropped, but pretty sure they've all been above 13, and Fred Simonsson has for sure been over 14 in doubles!

      @@ST-ek6lf Yeah, I agree. I've played tennis my whole life in tournaments and throughout school, and these guys look young but all appear to be excellent players. They must all be at least accomplished college players or club pros or something as the video title alludes to without being specific. The thing that makes me not sure if they played on a pro tour is that they look very young like in college or just out of college. But you're right, I've attended and seen up close world-class, pro tournaments before, and it pretty much looks like this. Who knows? But they are somewhere in the general vicinity. :)

      @@dmmusicmusic I don't know, you may be right. But the times when I attended pro WCT tournaments here in Richmiond, Virginia, it didn't look close up at court level all that different than this, albeit maybe faster. And I mean the points and play seemed lightning fast compared to how slow it appears on T.V. And when I played D2 tennis in college and tournaments locally, I and and some of the better players were playing at about this level. Like somebody else said: there seem to be a lot of good and better players now than there used to be. And he also said he didn't think this looked that different from pros in about the 300 to 500 level world rankings. I guess it's all relative and depends on you perception and personal experiences.
