    Winston, I appreciate this type of content the most. It takes a lot of courage to play a 13-year-old girl. Most adult males would not even do it off camera, never mind a 100K sub audience.
    Your serve and backhand have improved, and your forehand is as smooth as always. Keep up the great work.
    Abby is a great player with a bright future.

Her ability to hit through the ball and generate tremendous power was something to behold. Winston put up a great fight. I hope Abby comes back to the channel through the years so we can see her progression.

    I have great respect for this man. He was just beaten by a 5 foot tall, 100 pound 13 year old girl. His ego is in check. Many of us would probably have taken even a worse beating than that. Most of us, myself included, would have a hard time dealing with a defeat like that.

      I'm 43yo and Iost a game to a 11 years-old boy the other day. But I know I can beat a lot of guys in my age with no problem. That's why tennis is so awesome. You can't level it by age. One day you beat a guy your age, the other day you got beaten by a 11 years old boy or a 65 years old woman. There's no logic at all, and that's the gold of it.

      It’s all in the modern giant light rackets and the artificial strings that provide the power the top spin and the control for the player. So age and size doesn’t really matter as much anymore. Tennis is not the same anymore after altering the equipment so dramatically.

      @@bbb12345 I wouldn't say there is no logic in losing to a young kid. In fact, it makes sense to me that some of the younger kids have a big advantage. The kids that win against adults when they are early teens usually take tennis very seriously and train from very good coaches and/ or academies for many hours a day multiple times a week. Adults often are slow, out of shape, have bad technique and also have a mental complex of losing to a young gun. All of these factors give a big advantage for a young talented and serious tennis player to win against older players.

    Abby is amazing! I can't wait to see her making a name for herself on the tour one day. Don't take this the wrong way because your miles better than me, but I think your forehand is a bit stiff. You seem to be muscling it or trying to brush up on it a bit too much. I just made a realization with my own that changed the way I see it so if you feel like it google a "Den-den daiko" which is a sort of Japanese drum with two balls on either end that swing around after the drum body turns. Your hands and the racquet should be similar to the balls on the end of the drum and come along for the ride as your rotate your torso chest, hit through the ball and kind of stop once your chest is facing your target and let the momentum carry yourself through to the other side. You get a lot more of a whip effect and effortless power that way. Again...I suck, but I think this is the way. (forehand pass at the 6:00 minute mark was sick btw)

    Winston, I think you have improve a lot! But I see that you can run very fast, but it’s useless if you don’t even anticipate a little bit what your opponent next shoot. My advice is to hit more balls on the run where you can put them in play, it doesn’t have to be a great shoot. Good luck and hope some day we can play.
