felix, just a suggestion from my side, just remove the concept of the ("Good day / Bad day") from your vocabulary. Just tell yourself that you will play the best no matter what day it is. That thought just makes you complacent that you losing matches is just because it wasn't your day. I have been watching you since a long time now and you have the potential of winning a 15-25k singles but still you are getting knocked out in the first/ second round of qualis. Its not because of your game but because of your mental preparation. All the very best to you in pursuit of your journey!
I agree, focus on your mind set and think always positive. Your condition and technique is ok! Keep up the hard work and one day it will pay out! ❤🙏💪💪
This "good day/ bad day" thing don't exist when he is playing, it's just an excuse he uses when he is commentating after every lost he's had since day 1 of the channel, "just woke up" "ate to little" "ate to much" "my arm itches" or whatever. He does a great job, trains a lot, has the best edition of all tennis channels and he is the one who does it, but I always know in the first 20 seconds of the match if lost or won because he will complain about somethiung first thing if he lost. Really annoying sometimes.
@@jvephotography1150tink you mean think
I hate when players use the “wasn’t playing my best” mentality. There is no such thing. As a player who can speak to this back in the day, when plan A isn’t working, you have to dig into the tank to find a way to win. Generally not playing your best is really how you play on a consistent basis. Even Agassi said he only played his best maybe 5 times a year.
Something to think about when you are competing.
Yes true
Hey mate , I saw you practicing in the hotel yesterday . I'm from Tunisia and I'll be playing in the M15 tournament this week and the next too weeks. so if you need anything , feel free to reach out .
this is what I like to hear , people helping each other.
Fucking underated comment, only good vibes here
it must be the best feeling being that good at tennis and being able to document it with such a supporting fanbase
Another thing to remember Felix is that you are a pro now. And the difference between an amateur and a pro is, an amateur blames the loss on the bad day for his form. And a pro will keep his form consistant and struggle for the win irrespective of the good day or a bad day. Consistency in for and consistency in the mind is what defines a professional player. The more you are losing in your match, the more you need to trust in your training where you have worked super hard to develop your form. Trust in you training and let go of those distracting thoughts. That will improve your reaction speed as well allowing you to get to the ball, consolidating your game. Keep training and compete smartly. Good luck and god bless. 👍
Your grind is insane, your improvement clear to see. Please keep working hard because your skill and passion will get you places.
idk if his improvement is clear
@@tpsspace7397 I'd say having watched him from early last year, at the start of this series he probably would have lost the first round so the improvement is clear for me
Felix well done mate , i think everyone can learn a lot more from this video than the videos where you win ,glad to see that you can take the key points from the match and not just the result keep going and VAMOSSS
Felix your form has improved so much keep on grinding for success brother 💪
I was in Tavira just a month ago, wish I could have seen you play live! Greetings from Portugal 💪❤
Impressed with your hard work! 💪
You're bang on about the things you pointed out about the loss. I felt by the second set, you should have got rid of the sluggishness. 1 thing I saw consistently was the backhand down the line kept dropping a bit. Maybe it was a bit slower than earlier, but you'll need to adjust accordingly.
Keep hustling.. we're all rooting for you brother!!
Well done Felix! You grind that rock enough and you'll get to the diamond. The important thing to keep in mind is that it's there and in time as your tools get sharper, you'll get to it faster.
Enjoy the journey.
Cheers,
M
I guess it's quite painful to make a video about a tough loss and to show us what is clearly not your best tennis, but that's also what I like in your journey. You show things how they are with nice and tough moments because that's how a sport career is and everything is not always positive. It would be so much easier to only show your wins and your best shots, but it wouldn't be authentic and reliable. So thanks for sharing with us also when it's going wrong.
Great job, I like the way you don’t sugar coat things or make excuses, you owned your performance and this objective sort of self-analysis will serve (no pun intended) you well. Looking forward to you smashing (ok pun intended this time) into the top 1000!
Big respect bro for showing this whole process
Felix, have you tried the new CX line coming out in Jan? I hit with them last week. You are going to love them. Little stiffer but more spin friendly as string pattern is wider in the middle. Love em!
Keep grinding! Hopefully you will come out to states in 2024 so we can see you play in person.
Felix is a good player videos like this show people how much of a grind trying to get on tour is. A lot of good players out there, qualifying for a tournament is not an easy feat
I love your content keep up the good work.🎉
Thanks for the videos. It requires courage to show losses as well as victories and expose the learning process in all its grittiness, but I think sharing this with the wider world is valuable. Good luck and may you achieve your goals.
wow man, keep up the grind! What a great outlet youtube can be for you as you advance in your career! Hopefully it's helping you get by and leads to better opportunities! That's why I am youtubing...to hopefully be "discovered" as a voiceover artist 🤣. I dont think it works that way, but its fun being hopeful and following my dream job!
Wowowow keep it up! Like previous, you might not see the best results first but the more you play the better you will get and the easier you will achieve your goal!
one of my friends who practices under the same coaches as me made 2 itf junior quarterfinals this month, i am very excited to see where he goes in tennis
Keep grinding!🤩💪You can do it!😆
You"re on the right track, Felix. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the good work mate
Keep it up! There's no growth without loss!
can't wait to see you on top 1000 so you will appear in live tennis ranking website, u need around 12 ATP points
You seemed more comfortable and confident on Round 1 quali. Besides, round 2 opponent is having his day... look at that quality of tennis :O
@tennisbrothers - Do you add any lead tape to the racquet? Leather grip??
Man I just love your game and the way you work hard. Me myself is a tennis player.
Just had a shocking performance losing 7-5 6-0 in the semi finals. I couldn't make a first serve. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the great work.
Of course you CAN brother!🏋️♀️🎾💪
hey Felix. Currently playing grades 3 and 4 in UK. How do you get to play qualifying matches in ITF tournements , does your LTA ranking counts at all ? Thank you in advance .
Thinking back, it‘s crazy where you were one year ago. Imagine where you‘ll be in another year!
Tough loss but keep it up Felix. The lessons you are learning now are going to make you a better athlete and person. We want you future Atp chairmen!
you are my motivation❤❤
🎉🎉🎉the goat
You are playing your best Tennis and I see that you got thinner and you’re moving way better and can you tell me what you eat during the day thank you continue like this you’re doing great💪💪💪💪
and I have a question how can i make my backhand better
Let’s go Felix🔝
🎾You are my inspiration, and I am very curious if you will continue with your improvement after you reach your goal to win 1 ATP point, or if you will end up similar to Dominic Thiem after his US OPEN title🤔 Wish you all the best, and stay hungry 💪💥
bro domi (dominic thiem) had an injury
@fastcar3883 Yes, I know 👍, but he also admitted that his motivation has not been on the same level since winning the 2020 US Open
true but he's
on the way back to the top 50
@@NoLimitTennis
Let´s go Felix, all players have bad days. Keep grinding bro! Come on
What a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! Do you have more confidence playing these tournaments after getting first ATP point.
This is not Felix. This is Felix 2.0. Nice grind man!
it's so cool to finally see you getting an ATP point. you worked really hard and you really deserve it. keep it up ✊✊
Your definition of you playing bad is still really amazing to watch.
Hey Felix, I have been watching you grow as a tennis player so I am taking this liberty to give some advice, player to player. When you are a set down, your mind needs more than just “I need to try harder to win more points”. Ask your self this when Federer or nasal were down 2 sets and were at match point but still came back to win the match in a 5 setter what did they tell themselves. It is not complicated. You just need to have that desperation to win. That hunger for the win will take over your mind and remove any other distracting thoughts. Many coaches and psychologists call this ‘getting into the zone’. That is when all that training will consolidate into your form for the match. Without those distracting thoughts about losing the match and only having that drive for the win will even improve your reflexes. So let your thoughts flow and only let the thought about you winning the match under any circumstances remain as firm as a rock. That will provide you the winners mindset you need to reach the podium. You have the potential. But you are too focused on your and your opponents ranking and how they have better game than you. Keep your focus on you winning and firmly keep that thought in mind as you play and you will prevail. God bless and good luck bud.👍
new shoes, nice one :D
great video. i think your backhand is great you should go for it more less slice hit that backhand !
Curiosity, when is the next members video coming out? Also keep up on the grind.
Hey Felix,
Do you wear customized shoes' insoles ?
Hi felix, can you record a video where you show your gym routine please, greets from ecuador!!
I’m feel very happy to have been watching your journey for so long!! And keep up the tennis grind ❤️
Felix, again in my countrie?
トップ1000入り、応援します！
あなたならできる！
Man, starting the match earlier than scheduled was a tough break
Can someone tell me what happens in these qualifiers without an umpire if two players disagree on whether a ball was in or out?
They call on their own side. If a player belives their opponent is cheating they can call a supervisor.
Welcome to Portugal
Good video as always. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use more slices and drop shots to disrupt your opponent's rhythm and construct winning points. I see Djokovic and Dimitrov do that a lot. It's a bit risky but it can elevate your game beyond ITF level.
the temp of the game was different from the first game to the second, if you see the first one, the dude was on the receiving end of the temp, i’m the second game, the opponent was controlling the point. Since the temp was faster you should bring your racket back sooner, if you can, a slice back hand hand short and low to the court would have give off set his temp since was was so far back as a baseline aggressor.
Good stuff man! The background music is too loud
Bummer man I feel ya it doesn't help that you got surprised with an early match going out groggy my guess it had a lot to do with it but isn't that just how tournament play goes. Keep up the good work
What's happened with you and your coach Ashley?
How many shoes do you have?
Hey Felix! Just like you, I have a love for tennis! I'm a 15 year old boy and I play competitive tennis in the U.S.A! I play level 4-5 tournaments right now for USTA. I'm trying to improve my power, as it's a bit harder for me since I have a concave chest, but I'm asking what your gym routine is? I'm going to start going to the gym soon, and you seem like a good person to get advice from! So i'd love to know how to improve my power, and your gym routine! Thanks! You'll get em next time!
I'm not Felix but I'll give you advice. Athletes are not always the best to tell you what works and not. Its not that they can't give you advice, it's that a huge portion of them don't understand the sport. They play well and they tell you roughly what they feel. You want to get more knowledge then follow people knowledgeable. Coaches, professors. there are tons of professionals that study sports and can guide you better.
Want to get stronger don't hit the weights in the gym. You are a tennis player, what do you need so much muscle mass for (Sinner hits with more power than anyone and see him). Train for explosiveness, strength while lifting weight is not the same strength as the one you use while playing. There are different kinds of strengths. If your chest is concave work along a dietician if possible to make a plan to gain weight while training. You want to work in the gym, okay, focus on explosive movements. Start with your bodyweight work towards some level of weights. Look for explosive workouts for chest, arms, shoulders and as you build capacity move to plyometrics (it's more intense). If you have questions you can write to me. I have been in your position.
Oh Wow Thanks! That was a very in depth answer! Yeah I want to start going to the gym because of my chest and just self consciousness. Noted. Thanks so much!@@DATennis
Also, out of curiosity, are you a soccer player on a chilean team? Your name is the same lol@@DATennis
No worries about the match mate, I guess the heat caused the unforced errors otherwise your game was better than him.
Next tournament, let's gooo
theoretical question: is there anything you could do if you opponent makes clear foot faults every serve?
if it's not refereed, you're not going to be able to do anything bc you're not paying attention to their feet during the serve. And even if it's refereed, it's up to the ref to call it. I was watching a main draw match here in Crete, Greece a couple of weeks ago and a player was foot faulting by 1-2" every serve and the chair ump never called it
Just my impression on that second game but it looks to me like you "gave up mentally". which is something you should try to notice as fast as possible when it's happening. This is something that is really hard to control but there are mental tricks that you can do to "reset" and try and get back into the game as if it did not happen. nonetheless , your level is really high and you're still improving so that in itself is a good sign.
you wear the exact same shoes as me lol
I love all the experts chiming in that you can’t have a bad day on court. I guess you are just suppose to magically keep your level the sane every day. Sounds pretty easy to do it you’re Djokovic
Not even Djokovic maintains his level each day. He has fluctuations. The more reliable your game is the higher the floor. Felix's average is roughly of an unranked or high thousands ranking player. His floor is of someone getting beaten by them. That's it, he has to improve. He had a bad day, but your ranking is built on the sum of all your performances. His best way is to continue improving.
@@DATennis like maybe narrowing what the gap looks like between your good days and your bad days?
@@christontz9034 I could write an essay on this topic specifically, on the whole game aspects that produce fluctuations and winning percentages. But to simplify it, the factors are (super simplified):
-Athleticism
-Base tennis level
-Quality of your technique
-Gameplan or gamestyle
-Attitude
Attitude is overrated. Rather than overrated, overdiagnosed. It's important, an extreme would be tanking the days you feel are bad. Most players don't do that, they could maybe accept it more. But most do just fine with them. What most people usually see are players losing because of other factors (normal fluctuations) and blame it on the attitude. There are some cases that are attitude related, but most times it's just their tennis level.
Athleticism means having the fitness to perform day after day at a high level, recovering well.
Base tennis level where you are roughly as a tennis player, a guy with the level to compete in the sub 12 category, juniors, top 10 level, top 100. If I have the best technique ever and attitude but my base tennis level is that of a 14 year old. I'm getting destroyed by the guy ranked 800 even if his technique is somewhat worse and if he wants to tank.
Gameplan or gamestyle I'm talking tactics and way of playing. If it's too risky, naturally I'm fluctuating more than someone more passive.
Technique means having a sound technique that uses joints and muscles right. That is able to perform over and over even under pressure. Over and over over thousands of repetitions. Novak has this better than anybody, his technique is flawless. To compare good and bad technique would be Shelton and Zverev before this year. Shelton serve is beautiful. Uses all his joints in natural positions. No tension is making it miss. Zverev used to throw his arm in the wrong direction and when there was tension the arm couldn't move the joint smoothly.
So for Felix, he has mainly, to move on the first 3, athleticism, base level, technique. The better your technique and athleticism are, naturally your base level will go up somewhat and your floor and ceiling will be closer. Because not many things can go as wrong. Base level goes along those 2, if you have those 2 and train drills, put in the repetitions, increase your capacity to move faster your limbs, it'll come up. That's where he has to improve. He does that and he is going up. If you have any question because I kind of went on a ramble ask.
Are there no umpires in these tournaments? How do you guys settle disagreements?
A Warrior mindset is needed to succeed in any field really, a “boy” mindset is good days / bad days.
Road to ATP #1 for this Draper lookalike
That's the trick: play badly, get stuck in and then win. (Boris Becker was incredibly good at this)
Felix , you have serve and volley better than your opponent. Wish you were in ATP main draw soon.
please give me your serve motion bro
No shame losing against Francisco Oliveira. Played against him a couple of months ago and he his just to good
that first guys forehand...
That second dude was dialed in. No shame in that one at all.
the slight music during the commentary was distracting!
please no song background while there is a conversation in foreground. Makes it hard to understand either.
walmart musetti
Nicr
where is the umpire?
Having the start time changed and being woken up for a match is completely absurd, is that normal for these types of tournaments?
Dude you’re just too good to be getting blown out by that guy just because you woke up right before the match….
Why are you trying to find excuses, so funny
Felix PLEASE. stop this "good day/ bad day" , it's just an excuse you use when you are commentating after every lost he's had since day 1 of the channel, "just woke up" "ate to little" "ate to much" "my arm itches" or whatever. You do a great job, train a lot, has the best edition of all tennis channels and you are the one who does it, but I always know in the first 20 seconds of the match if you lost or won because you complain about somethiung first thing if you lost. Really annoying sometimes.
Surely these last few months you've leaped in progress right? It feels like I'm watching a completely different player as of late
Looks like you weren’t playing your best at 30-30 and deuce. Maybe its just mental but im sure the outcome would’ve been different had you won those points. 😢
cool
I know little about tennis but it seems that the matches you need to win merely to get into the main draw would be taxing on the body. All for the right to play ostensibly better players who will be rested.
Why is Felix left handed on the video cover?
Where is the empire?
First
Eight
They have to call their own lines for ITF Futures qualifiers?!?! Absurd
Why would you sleep between two matches? And still be asleep roughly 1 hour before you're supposed to go on court?🤦♂️
serve is way too weak to even make a ATP 250 match
Man, the music is awful and too high.
Please remove the cringe background music
