No way you left us hanging at 10-9 in the 3rd on purpose.😂 At least it was a glitch like you said and it was unintentional. Great progress so far tho, keep going 🔥
Amazing job dude. You’re starting to get that poise I feel like was missing! Beautiful game evolution - you’ll be racking up points by next season for sure!
It's the kind of tight matches that you were almost always losing last year. This shows that you really improved, specially on the mental side of the game. This is so hard mentally to stay focus and to keep believing against a guy serving bombs after bombs.
Nice to ser you in Portugal! Been following your channel for 1 year and its really pleasing for seeing you being sucessfull in my country. Btw if you need a sports masseuse just tell me! Best wishes! Carlos Carvalho
great fighting felix! your grit and determination has inspired me to play like you do with a ton of confidence and just play freely! good luck in the next few rounds! keep up the great work!
Its honestly so sick to notice Karue's impact on how you're starting to thinking about how to break down an opponents game in tight moments. Cheers to you !
Well played matches. Congrats. In the 2nd match, you tried standing in and chipping the return. Did you try a Medvedev/Nadal style return position (standing way back behind the baseline)? You're definitely fast enough to succeed with that return style.
Felix my man, in that match against Illia you´ve played like a champ, specially the first set, focused into your part of the game, took time to snatch the turning point and got away with the set. Dude that was the most clean set I´ve ever seen you take, strong from the start, patient......that´s it! Atta boy!
So cool to watch you play in my home country, and to put the cherry on top, I played illia on the under-16s a couple years ago, it was awesome to see you playing someone i have played before! his serve was already crazy good all those years ago
I thought it was a deliberate cliffhanger at the end there! Well done for winning those two matches. You held your nerve at the crucial stages and that's the mark of a future champion.
Can't believe im watching you play in hometown, let me know if you are still around and need a ride. I know the walk from the hotel must suck after playing for 3h in the sun ahah
Massive congrats Felix!!! Looking forward to seeing the next round(s) (I have no patience and had to check the final results of this tournament but no spoilers XD)
I'm Portuguese and I've been following you for a while. I loved your journey but I'm from Lisbon, another city a bit far from Castelo Branco, so i can't see you live but I wish you all the best :)
Hi felix so happy that you came to my home country I’ve been waiting for this for ages and to see how the tennis scene is like Portugal great video again 💪
You played againsy my best friend Illia, I got surprised when I opened this video and he was there. And you are correct, he is coming back from injury and his forehand is way more shaky than his backhand!
Man this makes me so so happy, you’re improving so much, I remember watching the first atp video and I was like wow I can’t wait to see how this goes. You can check my comments I’ve commented on your early videos. These videos are an essential part of my week I love seeing the progress and you not giving up keep going!!
Your videos really inspire me, Felix. I am about your age trying to make my college team and it's really cool to see inside the brain of someone I feel like I can physically be compared to.
How to find a way Felix! Some nice wins for you and good luck the rest of the way! Also great to see your brother warming you up and helping you get ready.
Great stuff as always but this is a video I wish u had turned the exposure up or down or whatever because it was really hard to see the ball against Arthur. Not sure if that's something you can fix with minor editing of footage
I have to admit I got a lil angry cos it was so exciting.... I loved the way you've played this big server. Technical smart. Awsome match. Go get the win! ;)
Glad you cleaned up the end of the match business because I was like, done with this guy. Great narration, video editing, I was hanging on every word and stroke. You showed some really good fight strategies, because that's exactly what it was, against a bigger stronger opponent. Stepping inside of the court to absorb some of his power is equivalent to a boxer closing the gap with inside fighting. You also may want to stand a ways back to let some of the power dissipate. Coming from a former USAF boxing coach that was a good fight.🎾🥊
you can change the view the server sees! Its the most you can do against such guys....jump around a bit to show massive readiness...on the ad-side I didnt see many out wide serves, maybe he struggles there, so stand more to your forehand and force him to go for a shot that he struggles with (and where the net his higher). Jumping around + getting him to miss a few first serves could get him to lose concentration then you have a window of opportunity :)
Somehow funny seeing you play against Illia who is playing season in germany on some weekends. Last year he was playing twice in my team and this year against my team. Interesting to see how you are handling his big serves!
I don’t know anything about ITF but you described him as a “fair caller”. Are there no officials in these games? The players do it themselves? That would be so strange if true.
I was the guy with the orange racquet playing alongside you on the first match ahah. Congrats on winning the pre-qualy and good luck for the main draw :)
if you ever go to California i suggest you go and play the Newport mens tournament they also have a wildcard but its easier since the max utr that enrolls is usually 12 as in 1 or 2 and the rest mostly consist of 10s

Sorry about the little glitch at the end , I did end up winning the match 11-9 :) I will post part 2 next week , let's go !
Congrats! You deserve it!
Was a good cliff-hanger :D lets go champ
i won my tennis tourniment aswell
Huge congrats!
There is a lot more in you!
Cheers!

I thought it was done on purpose 😂😂😂
Damn, is it even legal to cut off a video at 10-9 in the 3rd set breaker?!!? @youtube
definitly illegal, confirmed
I would also say illegal , my bad 😥
I had about 5 hours to edit the whole video , including the matches and score 😬🥲
No way you left us hanging at 10-9 in the 3rd on purpose.😂
At least it was a glitch like you said and it was unintentional.
Great progress so far tho, keep going 🔥
My bad , was a tight turn around on editing

Hyped to catch an early upload :D I saw Karue’s video against you with the first set, great turn around; keep up the work
Your mental tenacity won you that second game for sure. 🎉 Great job!
Great play Felix! You're confidence and level is growing week by week! Vamos💪
Props for not only switching it up but being able to pull it off. That return position is outrageous!
Hahaha , I had to do something
Holy man your forehand is an absolute weapon
If he can just get it to Alcaraz level I think he’ll be pretty good
Serve is good to
@@penguinmaster9786 easier said than done
@@BottomFragFred serve is monster too
@@Official.tadiwa It's fine. The slice is pretty damn good. It's just how he uses it strategically
Congrats for the win, you’re really becoming better! Now your return of serve get better, many atp points will come.
Clearly the match & feedback from Karue really helped you navigate these 2 matches! Great job and keep it up!🎉🎉
Nice to ser you in Portugal! Been following your channel for 1 year and its really pleasing for seeing you being sucessfull in my country. Btw if you need a sports masseuse just tell me! Best wishes! Carlos Carvalho
9:03 the ball was out
True
Great to see you playing so well! It’s really starting to come together.
Tennis in 30+ degrees is no joke. Incredible, well done 👏
great fighting felix! your grit and determination has inspired me to play like you do with a ton of confidence and just play freely! good luck in the next few rounds! keep up the great work!
Felix with the dimitrov flair 🤣😂😂
Its honestly so sick to notice Karue's impact on how you're starting to thinking about how to break down an opponents game in tight moments. Cheers to you !
Living my tennis dream through you mate🤣Great video as always
Its so good to see you winning games consistently. Congrats well deserved dubs! You are improving day by day :)) 🎉
Both amazing games Felix, you’re really doing good 👍
Can’t believe a video is actually having a happy ending well done felix!!😂
Well played matches. Congrats. In the 2nd match, you tried standing in and chipping the return. Did you try a Medvedev/Nadal style return position (standing way back behind the baseline)? You're definitely fast enough to succeed with that return style.
as a portuguese guy, I'm just happy Felix is playing here 😎
that mental strength to switch to a super dangerous position against a server like this is insane. Huge props for winning felix. 🎉
YOURE IN THE MAIN DRAW!! LETS GET THIS SHIT
Brooo!! biggest cliffhanger ever! now I read your comment but almost cried when the vid went black xD good job dood!
great job, already looking forward to the video "playing for an atp point again" :D
Felix my man, in that match against Illia you´ve played like a champ, specially the first set, focused into your part of the game, took time to snatch the turning point and got away with the set. Dude that was the most clean set I´ve ever seen you take, strong from the start, patient......that´s it! Atta boy!
I am soo happy for you Felix those two guys are tought opponents. This is the strongest mental game I have seen from you espacially the second dude.
Great match Felix! Im sure your going to get that atp point!💪💪💪
I definitely can see your progression. Smart thinking on the return game to keep pressure on. Good luck!
Great matches and great narration of your perspective during the match. It made for a riveting watch. Keep up the great play.
Dude your backhand is a bomb NICE
it’s crazy how much better it’s gotten in the last year cause it used to be a weakness for him
So cool to watch you play in my home country, and to put the cherry on top, I played illia on the under-16s a couple years ago, it was awesome to see you playing someone i have played before! his serve was already crazy good all those years ago
Felix you played great, especially those compose serve to the T! Nice commentary as always, keep up good works!!
lmaoooooo how could you do that to us
great job!!!! I'm super excited every time you upload a new video, these are getting more and more interesting
the big guy was serving huge, wow
I thought it was a deliberate cliffhanger at the end there! Well done for winning those two matches. You held your nerve at the crucial stages and that's the mark of a future champion.
ahaha massive cliffhanger at the end!
Can't believe im watching you play in hometown, let me know if you are still around and need a ride. I know the walk from the hotel must suck after playing for 3h in the sun ahah
Well done Felix! Your mental side of your game is amazing! I can just tell you will be a star in the future!
So far crazy video!!!!!!
Massive congrats Felix!!! Looking forward to seeing the next round(s) (I have no patience and had to check the final results of this tournament but no spoilers XD)

Hi felix so happy that you came to my home country I’ve been waiting for this for ages and to see how the tennis scene is like Portugal great video again 💪
Big hug and support from Portugal
You played againsy my best friend Illia, I got surprised when I opened this video and he was there. And you are correct, he is coming back from injury and his forehand is way more shaky than his backhand!
Man this makes me so so happy, you’re improving so much, I remember watching the first atp video and I was like wow I can’t wait to see how this goes.

Huge serving by this guy…imagine facing a Hurcakz serve on grass…unbelievable
It’s so funny seeing Illia in your video 😂 Been crossings paths with him in tournaments since like sub16!
Awesome , he is a quality player , I’m sure he will go far
Moving forward to get the serve on the rise was insane!
You're in your best form right now, keep going 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hype af - good stuff man
I'm from portugal a big hug from here or how we say in our language (um grande abraço). ❤
Ur service is improving
Felix's voice has changed (deeper), or it's just me??
How to find a way Felix! Some nice wins for you and good luck the rest of the way! Also great to see your brother warming you up and helping you get ready.
Say Hi to Ash for me!!! Used to be my coach!
Great fight and composure 🤩🤩
Watching from Castelo Branco 💪🏼🎾
Glad to see that you were in my country, Portugal 🇵🇹
I’m so happy my favorite tennis youtuber is repping my favorite player on my favorite team! jimmy butler x tennis brothers?!

Left on the biggest cliff hanger ever
My bad

Amazing shots and winners from Felix

Well done let’s gooo 💪🏼
YOU ARE BASED FELIX! BASED ALERT !
Great stuff as always but this is a video I wish u had turned the exposure up or down or whatever because it was really hard to see the ball against Arthur. Not sure if that's something you can fix with minor editing of footage
Keep it up bro what a tournament
💪
You came into my country and you start winning , lfg bro you getting better and better
The hotel is paying for you? How much?
I have to admit I got a lil angry cos it was so exciting.... I loved the way you've played this big server. Technical smart. Awsome match. Go get the win! ;)
Amazing games, especially the last

Are you going to play the futre in israel at raanana this summer?
Gosh that was a tense match - great victory... really dug deep for that one..
Thanks Chris 🙏

great fight ! it seems impossible to win a match against such a huge server. you really did a good job.
Like playing against Isner. The other day I played on clay with a 6.3-tall lad. Nightmare. Covered court in steps
I think my opponent was 2.10m , that’s what I have heard
Somehow funny seeing you play against Illia who is playing season in germany on some weekends. Last year he was playing twice in my team and this year against my team. Interesting to see how you are handling his big serves!
Are you still working with the tennis mentor coach?
this whole time i thought he was saying "sudden death juice" like the nerves you get on important points. turns out it was sudden death duece...
Damn cliffhanger))
Well done on reaching the quarters just a quick question do you have any tips on making it pro
No way ur in Castelo Branco that’s crazy!
Great job .. great videos .. ✌️
I don’t know anything about ITF but you described him as a “fair caller”. Are there no officials in these games? The players do it themselves? That would be so strange if true.
Prequali matches and most ITF quali matches are self called, ITF main draw matches usually have a chair umpire
It depends on the tournament itself, but most of them don't have umpires for quali or pre-quali
@@Tiziown what’s the protocol for constantly disputing calls or cheating then? Or does it just not happen that often because of honour?
@@Magicbanana987 it doesn’t happen that much , to be honest
portugal is my country! good luck
I was the guy with the orange racquet playing alongside you on the first match ahah. Congrats on winning the pre-qualy and good luck for the main draw :)
Such a short swing/push from Illia. Strange.
I see you rocking the jimmy jersey as u can tell from my profile pic I’m a big heat and jimmy fan
if you ever go to California i suggest you go and play the Newport mens tournament they also have a wildcard but its easier since the max utr that enrolls is usually 12 as in 1 or 2 and the rest mostly consist of 10s
Glad you won that second match. That guy only had a serve tbh. Some of the mistakes he made were like 2.5 level mistakes.
It's like watching Captain Tsubasa. You need to wait 1 more week to see if he wins.
dope !!!! 🔥🔥🔥
