    Thanks for a fun match Winston and getting to connect with you in person!
    Love what you are doing and look forwards to seeing you in the near future.
    P.s. Come to Wimby 🎾🌱

    • @nguyen925
      @nguyen925 2 місяці тому

      It looked like Dylan was going full send with every shot but his timing was impressive. Good play from both players! New tennis content creator for sure 😂

    • @blaster36000
      @blaster36000 2 місяці тому +8

      Honestly, you're at minimum 13.3 UTR Dylan, there's no way your pro level diminished, while you went into tennis content creation! Also, I think I should now hint at a clash between two certainly big tennis content creators? (Gee vs Sell?) 😏😏😏

    • @SpiritSlayer1

    Let's say Dylan was very "gentlemanly" during that 7th game 😁 But that's great hitting Winston, his game's truly 13+.

  • @ellison2546
    @ellison2546 2 місяці тому +25

    I saw many of his videos but didn't know he was a monster. You can tell so many other internet coaches are not great and not fit for tennis, but was a pleasure to see a bit more of his personality and his skills.
    Great content Winston

  • @caseyterbeest9394
    @caseyterbeest9394 2 місяці тому +10

    “I’m not even playing bad and I can’t win a point.” Hahaha, that is 100% spot on, lol. You’re playing good tennis and it just isn’t enough. Seems like a fun and frustrating challenge, haha. Love the content. Great effort out there.

  • @aj4819
    @aj4819 2 місяці тому +54

    Love the UA-cam/Influencer tennis community at the moment, just such a positive vibe to it all. Great content here! Shout out to Dylan too. I didn't actually know his background or that his level was so high, have just seen his Instagram content. Have to say he seems like a really decent person too.

  • @CrabNoodleSoupp

    Dylan is the real deal. One of the few tennis influencers who’s actually great at tennis. Much respect for putting his skills on display for the world to see. I’ll definitely will keep listening to his tips. Pros for Winston for the great content. Keep up the good work y’all.

    I have no idea how Dylan would stack up against Karue head-to-head, but I must say, @tenniswithdylan is the first player I have ever seen on your channel who seems like he might be able to give @MyTennisHQ a run for his money! Let's see that matchup!

    • @SwanTech6061

    • @OdinsMonkey
      @OdinsMonkey 2 місяці тому +14

      govind was super close.. i guess marcus giron has technically now been on the channel too (and a few pros in the last week for quick hits) and he has beaten karue

    • @james-tennis
      @james-tennis 2 місяці тому +6

      Definitely a collab id like to see. Karue just beat Fritz in a practice set, albeit Fritz look hung over and they're comfortable hitting partners, but Dylan does look really great here it would be interesting. If Karue's serve isn't on then it might be close. Plus the lefty factor is real

    • @dpadron
      @dpadron 2 місяці тому +8

      As of now Karue will take it, Dylan has not been practicing and training anything like a pro. Fitness alone is huge. But if Dylan were to train I don’t know, his strokes are awesome.

    • @ChaunceyDos
      @ChaunceyDos 2 місяці тому +3

      Dylan might be more “talented” but Karue was and is on a higher level. Their ranking and results, past and present, are definitive.

    Dylan!!! One of first ig tennis accounts I followed 2.5 years ago when I got back into tennis. Such a calm, sweet guy and good coach with a lefty swing I could relate to as fellow lefty. Had no idea he was this powerful and badass. 😳 Follow his account, very clear and great advice. Thanks again for a great video Winston. Awesome collab. Dylan!!!!!!

    Another banger from Winston, also impressive that both players seemed to be hitting well (score notwithstanding as Dylan is semi pro) even with first time using both rackets. With Dylan, amazing kick serve out wide to the forehand and also the way he loads and explodes on the forehand.

    4:11, you never meet anybody at the recreational level who can place winners accurately like that.
