Insane brother this is the best i think ive seen you played keep it up and keep going!
Bro really came back from 6 1,insane😂
Bro hypes himself a bit too much. Making his videos sound as dramatic as if he was playing Wimbledon's final but in reality there is not even an umpire on his match. I mean he is a great tennis player but he is even better at creating UA-cam content.
@@Stu49583 theres an umpire in literally every single other video
@@henry60522 I know but his overly dramatic videos still come across a bit too much in my opinion. I know most people are hooked on his videos for exactly this reason though.
@@Stu49583What a weird comment. It just means tennis is really important to him. You want him to sound like it’s not a bid deal because it’s not Wimbledon?
@@Stu49583 what a backseating comment, show's how terrible the tennis community has become
So proud of your work Felix. Just watching you make me so energized through your sheer athleticism, and always makes me wanna try new things in the court.Wish you the best.
I definitely don’t have the right to make suggestions on your play but I’d say u definitely need to work on just consistent depth, I feel like it would alleviate the constant pressure and allow you more time to recover in points
Good tip
Prolly a bit more height imo
Absolutely not, 100% of his focus should be mentally. He's choking under pressure in most close matches.
I mean true but also easier said than done after 2h on 36°C weather
I think the main thing for him is getting the backhand side more trustable. Doesn’t need to know how to hit well open stance, in the run, taking time way, dealing with fast balls or whatever, but it needs to be consistent when he is well positioned. He is missing a lot of easy backhands, it brings a lot of mental pressure on yourself (I was playing like that for the last six months, its horrible). If he can trust more in his backhand, he will be able to let the forehand fly and be more agreesive (his forehand can be massive).
I just spent three weeks watching 15k matches San Diego in person. The level at futures is so high, lots of tough, talented players (watched a bunch of learner tein). Great work Felix, keep it up, its not easy trying to break into that level and beyond.
Learner vs karue recently was interesting.
I feel like a lot of commenters need to watch an ITF tournament in person to see how high the level of play actually is. Watching it on video doesnt do it justice
Keep by grinding dude! Love watching your story
Love this vid man! Exactly what us fans want to see. Keep battling man!
Felix great vid as always, just wanted to give you a tip I now its really hard being a tennis player and you always try your best but something that is quite apparent is that a lot of your balls are landing in the service box so you aren't always damaging you opponent that much so rallies tend to extend a lot, when you do play deep you tend to win those point so maybe just try to hit it a bit deeper, hope it helps
I get your point 100%
Ofcourse his balls arent as deep, its not always about playing deep, (ofcourse it helps)
I think its more of a thing that he was dealing with the heavy topspin balls from Photos also.
always playing that +1 ball. It was a case of who wanted it more/who could give more
But to concider the physical toll on the body in those kinda matches in these weather conditions.
Felix isnt a small guy, he can take the balls earlier. But that brings alot more risk for errors (workpoint)
& giving away free points isnt just something you want te do in those matches.
i'm 5'2 not a tall guy, im nowhere near the level Felix's at.
I can keep the ball deep. but only for an amount of time before my body starts telling me; "dude, conserve your shots" but yeah thats only me😅
You were really good,keep up the work!
I think your speed and your volleys are the best parts of your game. I'd love to see you charging the net more. I think you can be out-rallyed still, so percentage wise, net play might be your best bet. It might also explain why you've had more success in doubles.
what a match. great stamina from both of you, that was a lot of long rallies i cant imagine how exhausted yall were
Nice job! Hope you have a fast recovery
Getting better with each video
Great work😊
Go for it!
It’s okay, you put up a good fight and your starting to show real improvement in your game, you’ll be winning a futures tournament soon!
Keep going Felix!
Great battle!
Way to hang in there in the 2nd set breaker. I would say that throughout it seemed you were lacking depth and that was why he was constantly on his front foot. I think you should have won this in straight sets. Your playing here reminded me more of your older videos where you were less confident. Keep up the aggression. You are better than you think you are. Exciting to be watching your journey.
Still so well done Felix… keep pushing ahead!
incredible match
Epic. I was exhausted watching it.
Great tennis lad 👏🏻
Felix good job man! I know you lost but you fought hard. Keep it up
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Making a comeback from 6-1 is bonkers, GG man!
It's so wholesome to see you compete in my beautiful country.unfortunetly,i have Never got the chance to meet you in person
I love your videos
The tour at that level seems brutal, nobody seems to have a clear stand-out weapon so it all comes down to determination, endurance and a little bit of luck. Very enjoyable to watch
Great effort, you almost got thru.
A video about your equipment that you’re using would be really interesting! Or has it been mentioned anywhere before? Like a setup tour?
Dude, that second set tiebreak comeback was insane!
Always enjoy watching your videos mate, keep up this work! Question, I saw you wearing a whoop some time ago. Why have you stopped wearing it if I may ask? Cheers
hi Felix, I really like your content and I think your play style is pretty similar to mine. Thank you for sharing your journey
I think you have what it takes to win these matches! It will come soon for sure 🔥
bro you got it man
well played bro
Photos beat me twice in Newport Beach, he’s a tough opponent man
what is his first name? I tried to google ''photos tennis player'' and all I got is photos on different tennis players lol
@@ellegant2406 Photos Photiades. You can see it in the beginning of the vid :)
@@ellegant2406find Felix's ITF page
you can see all of his matches and opponents there
should be able to find photos too
@@ellegant2406his full name is photos photiades
Just look up felix opponents@@ellegant2406
great match gang
That second set tiebreak was INTENSE!!!!!!
How you played those first few games was sensational. He could hardly make u play a backhand. Always keep in mind you can play like that when you want to. It's going to take you places, I'm sure!
You are improving man, there is no doubt. Playing a better tennis. I would like to watch the whole matches, what do you think of posting them with no cuts? I’m sure it would get a lot of views. I hope you can think about it.
Honestly kind of liked the low angle haha!
Damn, tough match. I once played for 3,5h but indoor, so the conditions were nothing compared to your 36°C heat.🤯
Your tie breakers are like novak keep it up
Amazing
that tweener was cool
His journey makes me want to try ITF.
Big respect to you man u played ur ass off
With Photos, did you take a Picture?
Try posting full matches please
Another video idea is that you play against winners only tennis, the catch is that you use a saber or other things as your racket. 😁
partidazo amigo, la peleaste
The level of tennis here even for _qualies_ of an ITF $15k is insane
Physically and mentally on 🔥
So hot even the camera got tired. 🥵 Great match! Agree with your reflections - playing that well against a guy playing his best says a lot, especially giving your condition. Keep up the good work!
Awesome second set...i would have died in that heat
literally, and photos was putting his all into those shots i don't know how he did it
7:12 1 hour 52 hours 🤣
who counts the time when you take a break during the match?
What series U gonna do next, you are in the top 1000 and have ATO points 😮?
Yeah bro
Huge cake !
Felix, your level is hovering just under utr 12.5, and declining slowly. You have a very physical element to your game, and I think your movement is great. Something is clearly not working in your game, and I would venture it is more strategic (shot selection). I notice you don't have a coach. Why not invest in that, get some high level help, and help you to play better strategically. If you continue doing what you're doing, you run the risk of putting in a lot of effort in low level tournaments, and even if you do well, they dont provide a lot of points. Its a lot of work, for minimal gain, and thats IF it pans out.
Why don't you have a chat with Esteban Carril? He took Jo Konta from triple digits to #4 in the world. Last I heard, he was based in northern Spain, which is very close to you guys in the southern UK.
Hey Felix saw your supplements you take and I think you should also include creatine in there really no downsides to the supplement
Yay
Felix mentality>>>
you remind me of and murray, both 9s
❤
Keep going Felix. As we know, winning tennis matches comes down to momentum, confidence and a little bit of luck.
If you keep knocking on that door, it will fly open sooner or later👍🙏
Take the fish oil at night as it can lower blood pressure which could affect matches.
I was playing a 3rd set tiebreak and was up 9-6 and still lost 9-11. It's the worst feeling ever.
Hey Felix, I want to give you a new video idea, to challenge the best juniors player to a match, that would be awesome. Love your videos btw.❤
at starting of the video i came to know you won
"And this is awesome - I got caffeine tablets. They're 100 milligrams of pure caffeine. It just prevents that kind of caffeine crash."
Love this channel, but pretty sure caffeine is the solitary cause of caffeine crashes. Don't know how one would experience a caffeine crash without taking caffeine. Please correct me, wiseman commenters of UA-cam.
Hello felix I am wondering at what utr tennis becomes mainly fitness or if it ever does
Put it this way; you wont see Homer Simpson win a grand slam any time soon.
3:53 bee: zoooom
Wait, there's no chair umpire at 15K tournaments? (or at least in the early rounds) So it's just the players who track the score?
very amateurish I agree
Not in qualies, they have them in the main draw
Very tenacious opponent. Not a fan of his style of play, but can imagine him having access to top-class conditioning facilities playing for Pepperdine. And I would recommend you to see a dermatologist to develop a targeted skincare routine. Playing that much under the sun is tough for anyone to maintain good skin health.
His acne has nothing to do with "being under the sun". Also not every YT "influencer" has to have a perfect good looks, it is actually refreshing to see someone with minor "flaws" instead of the required insta looks.
@@Stu49583 He's not talking about acne. Playing under the sun for that long is not good for your skin, not just in terms of appearance. Sunscreen and whatnot are great but it's impossible to keep up with applying products when you're in a battle and wiping yourself of sweat every point.
Let go Felix
You should try and get a better backhand.
Felix I’m going to play my first ITF I am 15 do you have any advice?
That's awesome! Good luck buddy.
@@bigrobsydney thank you sit
Sir*
Bro run around your backhand more, as soon as you hit a deep forehand you are in control of the point.
dude, love your play but why does it look that you are choking the game in this particular tournament? Are the courts slow or smthng
Mega comeback though
Where’s the umpire?
If he lost that match I would tell him to put the racket away for a season
Its time for you to Go to College. There you can Play on a High Level, with perfect environment and you can develop your Game.
Without constantly reaching Main Draws your journey is now a a waste of Money and time.
Also its possible to climbe the ATP Ranking while grinding in College. This would be obviously the best Option for your Future
Actually a great idea, you know how old he is?
I don't think he is elligible anymore.
spoiler blocker :)
Bro how do you afford playing and traveling so much? Isn’t it expensive?😂😂
first
Felix = GOAT 🐐
👇 if you agree 🕶🕶🕶
I bet you alcaraz fan too
Great play Felix keep working before long it’ll be top 100 videos 🫡
