    Felix I honestly think that this match clearly showed that you can be confident playing a little bit more aggressive in future competition! Take the ball early and try to finish points quicker especially against better ranked players 💪🏼

      Not little bit more aggressiv 🤣 If you play agianst a way Stronger opponent your Goal need to be 100% hard hitting no net only Out or winner If you let him get Into his Game you can go Out of Theo court instenly on ATP Level defend is worth a piece of shit only If you cracked Like medvedev you can do that

    I gotta say, as someone who has watched all of your recent progress videos, the best tennis you play is when you get super aggressive really go for your shots more. Idk if today was just a good day for u and u were feeling it, or if playing indoors helped drive ur balls more, but man u were rlly sticking it to him in some of those points. Well done 💪🏽

    Felix, I think you play at an extremely high level on hard courts, and are probably better on hard court compared to clay. Maybe your next futures on a hard court might be the one where you get your first ATP point. Amazing video, and good luck with the rest of your journey. We're all rooting for you, keep going, stay positive, focused, and hungry.

    I like how you didn’t go into the match wanting to get a game or two. It was clear that you wanted to win, and you had belief that if you managed to struggle to hold serve, you could potentially sneak a return point in the tiebreaker and get the set. That’s an awesome attitude.
