  • Mark Vines, ranked at #1 Men's 60 singles in the United States, plays in the finals of the Super Senior Grand Prix event in January of 2020 in Naples, Florida. In this match, which started earlier than schedules, I just caught the 2nd set....pretty classic Vines tennis. First set was 6-4 Vines.Unrelenting, not real fancy (although he makes it look so easy!). Filmed with a Muvi KX-1 and the always present QM-1 Camera mount from www.Mytennistools.com

    I watched Vines play semi and finals of usta 65+ at Barnes center in San Diego a few weeks ago. Solid player. Methodical game. Every shot had a purpose. Really a pleasure to watch him live.

    Vines can win another world title for over 65! He looks like Rod Laver out there! Can you post Stuart Saiki playing tennis? He beat Mark a few times, which is remarkable. Both guys moved great on the court, proving tennis can keep you fit and young. Your videos make it look like Naples is the place to be for us senior guys.

    unreal how he controls that Big Bubba and actually his backhand is his best shot from what I can see. I could not control that racket off backhand

      You don't really, just sign up and pay the tournament fee. If nothing else, it's a great learning experience to play guys your own age and see what they do.

      @@10smike I live in Orlando, and I'd like to have information about "tennis life" and tournaments in Naples area. Do you know where can I find the information? Out of curiosity, how much is the fee for that tournament? How often are similar tournaments in the area? Sorry, I don't want to push or bother you, but you seem to know your stuff...😀

    • @robertmoylan9950
      @robertmoylan9950 Рік тому

      Walkman is likely 4.50-4.75! Vines is solid 4.75! Both would lose 6-1,6-2 to top US high school boys players ! Heck, the top girls would beat ‘em too! That being said, Vines is very technically solid. When playing in his age group against other 65 year old guys, he looks like a 5.5! Still got great leg speed and few guys have the two handed backhand topspin necessary to combat his amazing topspin forehand!

      Vines is playing singles at nationals next week in New Orleans! I expect him to win it, without much trouble. You will see a 50% default due to injuries in the 65 grouping where 91 players are registered. Same 65 registered for doubles. Vines would have more trouble if he played doubles! Just too dam hard to play two six set matches in one day for five days in a row!

    I lost 4 and 0 when I played Vines. He started hitting the lines and his cross court backhand starting taking me out of the point. on grass

    • @10smike
      @10smike  Рік тому +1

      A lot of people would be proud to have gotten 4 games from Mark. I was taking lessons from him years ago and at the end of one lesson we played a point and I played the point of my life. I hit the duece service box out wide, then volleyed ball to the opposite sideline with a good shot, which he got to, and then finally the opposite sideline from that. He got to it to but missed the backhand crosscourt into the net. It made my day to just win that one point, and I had to hit every shot perfect. To win a game would be superhuman, so congrats on four games.

    Mark has fairly good speed but he’s far from the fastest player in the age group. (Maxime, Sal, Stearns, et al.) Watch the footwork. He split steps every single time he should. That’s worth 2 or 3 feet of coverage and more importantly set up time.
