Well done! Obviously you did many things right in the second set. As you say, never surrender!
Let’s goo!!
@@gladiatorstribe But it is strange that you so often end up playing the highest seeded players 🤔🧐
Might be a bit unlucky with the seeds but this is how tournaments are usually designed by default. Not saying its right but the lower ranked players usually have to "prove" themselves worthy of playing at these tournaments. It's kind of nice for the seeded players as their rankings has a meaning but on the flipside you do get a chance at beating them early on in the tournament, see it as, a final before the final ;)
Hahahahahaha fair point 😂
Honestly Grisha, you did amazing. I think you're just figuring things out and that's totally a good thing. One can say that you're being brought all these top guys to fight with because you're a top player yourself and need this for experience before you do your best.
The only thing that I saw the top seed player do over you is just better decisions. Your agility, technique, speed were equal to his. You're almost there man.
Keep it up.

👊🙂
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! Means a lot for me to hear that!
@@gladiatorstribe Hey Grisha losses suck....esp. in a row..... hang on for a year or two....those who plant seeds in tears will be joyful harvesters. its better to be very sad..than just sad..or even worse indiferent.
The last point in the first set was clearly within the lines, he hooked you there
And i see another hook in the beginning of the second set. Beginning 3rd game was on the line, not behind.
Yeah, saw them when editing 🥹
@@gladiatorstribe agreed, those were terrible hooks as neither ball was coming in fast so super easy calls to make. Complete hook hope this video gets to the tour.
@@gladiatorstribe i don't think the result would have been very different, but it's just awful behavior that should not be allowed. That's why i don't understand that at your level there is no umpire.
bruh you can see the mark in the 3rd game 2nd set. Its clearly out. Dont shittalk the opponent for nothing here cmon
@@ultimpower9350 the mark on the video? You cannot see if the mark starts on the line in the video, but if you zoom in while the ball is hitting the ground you see clearly it touches the line.
And at the end of the first set it was clearly in the court, not even on the line. So it's not shit talk.
If it only happened in the 3rd set while the ball hits the line and also skids behind the line (as a mark is always longer than just a ball) then i wouldn't have said anything. Then it could have been a mistake.
But the last ball in the first set was so clearly within the lines, then it is a hook. The opponent called it out on purpose to hook, not a mistake. He is a cheater. I'm dutch so i would prefer to be able to cheer for him, but this behaviour is just nasty.
First and can't wait!!!
Edit: also i don't think you saw my question in the last vid -- how does the gravity mp compare to a clash pro in hand because they seem very similar on paper?
Well done, u played a very good match man.. i love your content, hope we meet one day on a tennis court 😊
Thank you very much!! Hahaha We might one day 💪🏽
I would say improve your forehand
Bro honestly u have to improve ur serve a lot , ur serve doesn't hurt at all and also work on the other department, give it a hard work and definetly u will get too way better results
Superb superb superb video. I learned so much about mind set during a match. This is an inspiring and would love to see more like it.
Will Nico become gladiator? :)
Maybe maybe!
How there is no empire in kind of this tournaments
I have really been enjoying watching your channel. Thanks for the videos. Please consider posting some videos without the youtubey music on the background during gameplay. the narrating is great tho
Played this guy in Spain back in ITF Juniors😂😂😂 Solid player!
That’s cool! Definitely 😂😂
Hey man cuantos anos tienes? Your videos are inspirational for an aspiring Pickleball pro
fue un buen papel a pesar de haber perdido el partido, tu contrario jugó muy bien y tú hiciste muy buenos puntos. ánimo!
you need more depth and swing through on your shots. everything was landing so short in the court so he was running you around and then hitting through you.
Интересно конечно…
Но играть даже на таком уровне без профессиональной подготовки нереально.
Я имею ввиду начав заниматься не с детства.
Awesome job against the #1 seed, bro.
Thank youuu!!
You played a good match 👏 well played against 1st seed
Thanks a lot! 💪🏽💪🏽
Don’t have the full picture from this footage alone, but seems like he was attacking you too much on your second serve. Maybe you need some more pace there.
Wouldn’t say that was the main problem. Though it could definitely be improved.
A lot of games to 40-40. The score doesn't reflect how close it was
So that opponent was 800+ in the world??? Wow his game is scary and yet he likely isn’t even making a living off the sport. What I do is when an opponent is way too strong at the baseline I try and volley and drop shots tons more since you likely won’t be hitting it past them. You should really absolutely master the drop shot like Carlos Alveraz. And then master the volley like Stephan Ed burg or Dustin Brown. Do that for a while. Then next time you run into these heavy baseliners they’ll be put in their place. You did some good serve and volleying. At my level like 3-4 I can do that all day long and get point after point. But not sure if that works at your level. I’d say why not try like 1 in 3 serves as a serve and volley.
Hahaha yep, kinda crazy. You’re totally right. That’s the way to play against him. I just wasn’t feeling those two shots on that day
Your content is very insightful. As someone who used to play competitively I think you are well rounded guy with a positive attitude. Keep working and you will be rewarded sooner or later and maybe catch a break or two along the way.
Thanks a lot!! Really appreciate this kind of feedback!
You played really well Grisha, but you faced a formidable opponent with remarkable accuracy at going for shots close to the edge of the court and moving you around more. He is also quite athletic and chases all the balls.
Great match there!
Thanks a lot and you’re totally right!
Reflecting on the journey will make you a better player, especially if you keep the positive outlook on things. 👊🏼
Thank you! You're right!
You have a nice forehand technique.
Great match Grisha! You really put him under pressure with deep shots to his backhand corner. Do more of that!
Thank you very much!!
Love this kind of content as always! Hoping to see you at indian wells someday!
Thank you very much!!
Nice video, love the production quality on this one.
Thank you very much!
Well done!! good match!!
7:16 that ball was prob out by like 20cm or so😅
😬😬
I just looked up Nico Almagro, he’s 38 now and can you believe he was born in Murcia! Carlos Alcaraz must be a neighbor! 🤣🇪🇸🎄🎄🤩
nice video
His dogs are too adorable
I have watched all 21 of your tour videos, do I get 21 times of the discount on TW Europe?😅
Enjoyed all the videos, enjoying a demo of Head gravity mp 2023 as well, deciding on buying after few more tests next week hopefully 🎉
The main mistake: you play for the camera... 'pour la galerie'. Competitive playing is more about effectiveness more than shot making. Ex: pass the ball to the other side of the net anyway possible, rather than nicely. You-You can do that also... no shame on winning that way.
Dude, i really think you should ditch that gravity pro, you shots especially defensive one's land really short and it's even more noticeable later in the game when you get more tired. You would really benifit from sth more powerful and do not worry about control and stability as you can fix that with lead and strings.. Good come back though, almost!!!! :=)
Sigue así Grisah !! La victoria no siempre lo es todo y con tu mentalidad acabaran llegando tarde o temprano. VAAAAAMOS
Muchisimas gracias!! Vamooosss!
Silly me, I was expecting Nico Almagro!! 🤣🤣🇪🇸
😂😂😂
its rigged. they never let topseeds play eachother first round. and never let the non seeds play eachother either in first round thus making the way for the topseeds in the early rounds so they do not get tired. you are basically practise.
In a turnament it should be that everybody meets everybody like the football/soccer turnaments. and then who won most matches gets the throphy.
Tough one! In my opinion your channel show a lot of young players what the brutal reality of tennis is in the lower/beginner level tournaments, not only good for the players but for their families too, because a lot of parents don’t understand why it is so hard or so expensive. But I have to admit that I’m not sure if I like your attitude on the court, to me, throughout the video you give us a vibe that you don’t care, that you are making faces and actions just for the camera and that you are way too worried about looking cool on UA-cam instead of focusing on the game itself. I have been keeping up with others that produce a similar line of content and they act a lot more professionally on court. I will keep up with you, I wish you the absolute best and if this is your true personality I hope that you keep it and that your channel do well so you can keep using as an extra way to fund your career. Take this as a constructive criticism comment 👍
Great content! I'm curious, what's your avg serve speed? (if you know)
Great match mindset Grisha! Thank you for sharing that, I’ll try to focus on that during my next losing match.
pretty fair line calls without a ref or linesmen. It's also impressive having seen how powerful your shots are but then your opponent's FH makes your shots look like they're landing short.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask you if you could dem the Dunlop CX series when it updates in the spring of 2024 ?
great match, you keep getting better. but play the ball deeper, its happening to much he can attack on short balls
I just got a custom angell 95, it’s getting strung now, I can’t wait to try it. Much love ❤️
2:11 LOL. That reminds me of friend of mine. 😁
Way to fight back in the 2nd set. Perhaps go bigger, go for winners earlier, shortening the rally length, in the 1st set to put your opponents on their heels, especially if they are ranked higher. ATTACK MODE!!! (but easy for me to say lol) Good luck in future tournaments. SWING2WIN!!!
Thank you for the advice! You’re totally right, should be more aggressive!
The way you speak about what The Pros do and what The Amateurs do, is a complete fallacy.
Grish, I was hoping for that comeback in the 2nd set. You keep getting dealt these top seeds in the first round. Such bad luck. But keep doing this you are growing in experience points. You will soon be a master once you accumulate enough experience points by all these #1 and #2 seeds you keep playing against😂😂 You almost came back to tie it against the #1 seed. And you made him feel uncomfortable. He was hitting some insane shots. I saw that the balls you were hitting were kinda in his sweet spot zone and he was feeling comfortable to redirect the ball where he wanted to. Maybe next time try to add some shape to the ball and give him some higher balls, just so he can't dictate the points. Just remember there's no winning and losing. There's only winning and "learning." I believe in you and I really want you to succeed because you're a really talented player. And I also like your channel lol. In one stage I know things are going to click and you'll be beating these people at a certain point in your career. "if you want to get clean, you gotta get washed first." Losing isn't anything. Just learn and grow from these moments.
Thanks so much!! These words are just gold! Really appreciate this kind of support and as I always say this really keeps me going!! For the next one 💪🏽💪🏽
Very nice match, you were too much on a defensive side through whole match but at clay court it's not that a big deal. But I have to say that sometimes you are too
nonchalant at the net. I know that not an easy thing to change (I do it all the time) but a little mental switch at this point and I would go in right direction! Hope to see more footage of you game! Best of luck!
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your feedback! More on the way!!
Oh i was just in Madrid. Could have brought some friends and supported you 😢
I’m sure I’d pull the second set out if you did!
You forgot to cover the most important thing, which is the racket. What’s he using??
Habahahaha if I remember right it was an ezone 98. You’re right, my bad
Гриша,милая собачка
Спасибо 😂😂
great video keep up the work and you will get there
Thank you very much!
could of gone either way. you wining at the net for sure. great vlog!
Thank you very much!
Im sure playing behind in the score gives you more potential than playin in front. My absolute best levels were all achieved recovering the scoreboard
Totally!
Totally! Completely agree with you!
Appreciate this video, yeah the guy was good, I can't get over how cold it was❄️🌬️ Thanks Grisha for sharing this 🙏 stay strong my friend!
Thank you very much for always being here 💪🏽💪🏽
@@gladiatorstribe 🙏
Nice try. Hopefully see you win the next one.
I hope so too 😂
Гриша не сдавайся!
I need your backhand ASAP 😭
Hahahaha thank you!! 😂😂
7:16 ball is 2 feet out
You are too nice Grisha. Got to hook him back
Hahahahahaha
You did really well in the 2nd set
Thank you!!
your attitude and energy on and off the court are inspiring and a lot of fun. keep up the good work
13:20 Absolutely filthy hook
Lol, I just won a set 7-6 after being 1-5 down yesterday because I knew I was better than my opponent
Vamoosss!
I think if Shana had been there you;d have been inspired to get that break at 40-0 :)
Seriously though, good to see you fighting for it and being a lot more self aware in this one. A lot of previous matches you'd have lost the second set to 0 or 1.
Also, shoutout to having more Australians in your vids - we make everything better.
Hahahahaha you’re totally right. She definitely would’ve helped 😂 Appreciate your positive feedback!!
Great video...and an incredible tennis player.
Love Spain...had a home in Marbella for many years back when Manolo Santana was the pro at Puente Romano tennis club
you wrote just to let us know you had a place in Marbella is it?
@@samtrautman6416 Yeah...delivered the MY Yanbu from Ft. Lauderdale to Puerto Banus in 1980, and purchased there...living offshore since that decade. Federal service academy grad, licensed ship master...retired in my mid 40s..dig it
That’s awesome! Marbella is a wonderful place for sure!
@@MarcelaR-dh1ok who cares about your life man haha clearly not too interesting if you spend your time commenting your past life in gladiators tennis youtube channel lol
@@gladiatorstribe You're a classy guy....keep up the good work...Not Russian myself, but grandparents were born in Finland...
Have a streight right arm at the hitting point of your forehand, thank me later😊
