    I think especially on the first serve against a good sever like him you shouldn’t say on the line. Even aggressive return players like Djokovic are often 1/1,5meters behind the line on the first serve. Your return position is good for second serves of him. What do you think?

    lol 0:17 popyrin "has also lost in a third set breaker against rafael nadal", more like he's lost in 3 straight sets and the third set happened to be a tiebreak. misleading to say he's lost in a third set breaker if you're talking about best of five sets.

    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 💪🏽

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.
