Hey guys. Sorry couldnt premiere today, was battling here in Bogota. Got the W 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 quickly, many of you have asked for match commentary. I would love to do that but unfortunately it is hard to do that without giving a lot of strategical insight that can be used against me. My main objective is to climb the rankings and sometimes the videos will suffer because of it. Players typically don't have this much footage online for scouting so it's a fine line to walk. And I rather do no commentary than shitty commentary that brings no value! Keep riding and one day we can go back to all these matches and learn together!! Let's fucking go, top 400
hey karue, just thought id let you know that id like to support you by purchasing the lmnt product, but it dosent allow shipping to australia.. maybe have a word with them?
Update! Now that Karue has made it to the semi-finals (and maybe more) of the Bogota Challenger, he has officially surpassed his career high of 371, now at 368. Congrats Karue!
Great Match Karue! I liked the way you worked the points and used/relied on your superior groundstrokes and Accuracy to basically out play him . Big servers are tough to play especially on hard courts. Way to Go Karue!!! USPTA pro here…. I have no critics - unforced errors were minimal … solid match PERIOD! 😊
i think guys like this bring out the best in Karue. Against grinders, Karue can be a bit hesitant and tentative. Against a big hitter like that, there's no time to think or be tight on the ball. So the quality of Karue's ball striking and timing is released to achieve its full potential. Karue hits such a nice ball on both wings. Timed it really well in this match.
Highly entertaining. Won with consistency, controlled the ball better, and changed up your shot selection (serve & volley, redirection, slice) sparingly but when it counts. Congrats!
Wow, Karue. Some of the best footage I’ve ever seen from your forehand. Short and compact, taking it early on the rise and hitting through it with zero hesitation. That’s your money ball, imo 🤷♂️ Used your looser/wristier forehand when needed on those slower paced balls or balls that were dropping, but damn you committed to taking the majority of those forehands early on the rise and those balls were penetrating through the court with ease. You’re going to keep getting better. You have the Agassi forehand and it looks like you’re starting to believe it too. Keep doing your thing. It’s a treat to watch.
Notice Sell's positioning on the baseline and how steadfast he is there, able to take many balls on the rise, compared to McCormick, who is consistently further back. Am I the only one who reviews Karue's ball striking in slow motion? See Karue, the effort invested in stepping up your on-court apparel makes all the difference. 😜😜 Thanks for posting another fun match to watch.
You’re on fire, Karue! Neutralised McCormick’s big serve and brought your own too. Matches like this show the great variety you have in your game. Very well played!
Excellent win! I felt like your groundstrokes were so deep and penetrating today. I lost count of the times he was backpedaling to hit the shot from your return. Along with your great serving, he was under constant pressure.
Good win, Karue. You played so solidly. It seemed like he could not hurt you from the baseline. You also took advantage of etracting errors out of his backhand. Whoo hoo!
Your ground-game reminds me a lot of one of my favorite players, Aslan Karatsev, just super smooth grounders driven by insane wrist strength. Love your clean ball-striking
Love your effordless hittin! Great tecnique. Seems you could do that the whole day😅 You read his serve so well, he almost didn't made any second ball especially in the first set. Good luck for the tour
Hey Karue, love the content! Any chance you’ll be playing qualies at U.S. open? I live in NY and would love to see you live dude. Keep up the good work 💪🏽
I've never watched tennis before but for some reason I love your channel and seeing your matches. I've never seen one handed backhands like that before, is it common? No wonder he has a monster serve, dude is ripped if he can return backhands like that.
I am impressed with how much force both you and the other guy were able to bring to heavy balls. Feels like you are using 335g racquets with extra weight plus like an 18x20 pattern. He had a powerful one-handed backhand but made a tonne of mistakes with it (into the net) and it cost him the match.
He might’ve had a “huge serve” but your serve was just as effective! I bet you had around the same number of unreturned serves. You also hit lots of well-placed serves to set up +1 shots and volleys. 👏
What a great match Karue. The ease with which you play and your clean hits are amazing. Did you switch rackets? Balls are more deep and solid, looks like it. I follow you also on Sofascore so, i hope you will go on and be very succesfull.
14:54 he misses the backhand return and you won the next two points off backhand winners. He had a chance to get back in it but you shut the door. Bravo
@Karuedoingthingz Great footage and congrats on top 400!! Such an amazing journey, keep it going man! One thing - you would be so lethal if you developed a drop shot. The way you hug the baseline and push opponents back, a drop shot would keep them honest on their court positioning
I love your channel. I love watching your journey. And I am inspired by and thankful for ALL of the content you create. I have and will continue to watch everything you put out there. But, at the risk of showing my age by quoting a certain movie reference, I have to ask…Dude! Who cut your hair?😉
Early in the match, that hold at 1-1 after being down 0-40 was big. Then at 2-1, 40-15, he plays a poor, lazy shot on a short ball. These are the moments that make a difference. Worked his backhand smartly. We can see that your hitting with confidence and focused. Nice match.
Great match man. You had the correct mental balance going in. 💪🏼💪🏼 Am I right in saying that his baseline game lacked focus? He seemed to give up on points a bit more that I expected at that level. At any rate, you saw that weakness and took advantage. Well done
Really looking forward to this next match of yours Karue (Juan Pablo Ficovich). If you win it, it will give you your highest ranking ever. Juan is a UTR 14.11, and you've just beaten Alvaro, who is a 14.15, so definitely possible. If you can play solid, you're in with a great shot, and I have my fingers crossed that you have a good day. Lets Goooooooooo!
Just saw the result. Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOO. Highest ranking ever, PLUS, you now get to play Facundo Mena, who has a lower UTR (14.05) than both the guys you just beat. Again, if you can maintain the level, you have a chance to do something really special. You're already into the SF of a 75 event; a final would be awesome. Fingers crossed again Karue. Go get 'em!!!!!!!!!!!
Just honest criticism: I honestly watch a few points skip ahead to who wins the set, then go straight to a post match. I think adding commentary like Felix from tennis brothers would be great. I’m okay waiting a bit longer for the videos if they’re higher quality. But watching just these points is not as entertaining as it could be with commentary. Great content, just giving feedback to make the channel better.
There is plenty of high level tennis footage everywhere. I think what really makes you such a great youtuber is a lot of your videos make us smarter. Similar to how Andy Roddick gets into the weeds of tennis. Things like how you break down a match what feelings you are going through in the moment how you manage it. Tennis has a commentation issue we can watch a tennis match but all we see is the ball going back and forth fast. To really make tennis entertaining commentation needs to highlight strengths weaknesses strategy nuance emotion all that. It is definently more effort and I do appreciate you going pro taking us with you. But I do miss some of the nuance and instruction. Though that might mean giving your competition too much insight into your game.
Unfortunately I can't be giving a lot of commentary in matchplay. These are opponents I might face again and I might be revealing strategies and all of that, especially during wins. I plan on doing some stuff but I rather not make fluffy commentary like some other channels. I'm actually competing and getting up the rankings which can put a target on my back. Most players don't typically have these many matches online for scouting so it's a fine line to walk. I agree commentary would make it better but it's just the way it has to be at the moment. Goal is to win more and not get more views. Thanks for the input
I notice on returns you sometimes come forward and split step, others you stay neutral and split, and others you go backwards and split. Is this based on something you're seeing in his service motion? Or based on if it's a first or second serve? Or simply just to give the server different variations of the timing on the return ball?

LFGOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Grind in Bogota! You can do this! Let’s GGGGOOO!
Lfgoooooo mannn
hey karue, just thought id let you know that id like to support you by purchasing the lmnt product, but it dosent allow shipping to australia.. maybe have a word with them?
Let's go!!
Update! Now that Karue has made it to the semi-finals (and maybe more) of the Bogota Challenger, he has officially surpassed his career high of 371, now at 368.
Congrats Karue!
Homeboy said "I'm playing a big server" and proceeded to have the most aces in the match LOL😂 Great video, Karue. Love seeing you play as always.
"I am playing a big server!" Karue hits three aces to start the match...
off like a train!...it was becker like!
And how many times has Karue had a perfect 4 aces?!🎉
Looks really compact on serve too!!
Great Match Karue! I liked the way you worked the points and used/relied on your superior groundstrokes and Accuracy to basically out play him .

Ssshuush, stop giving my opponents info 😂😂
Highly entertaining. Won with consistency, controlled the ball better, and changed up your shot selection (serve & volley, redirection, slice) sparingly but when it counts. Congrats!
Insane match as always Karue! VAMOS! Reminder to everyone to work on their first serve %, the higher the level, the more crucial it is to HOLD serve.
Wow, Karue. Some of the best footage I’ve ever seen from your forehand. Short and compact, taking it early on the rise and hitting through it with zero hesitation.

Love watching this guy move forward. Such a smooth game!
8:05 I love how the umpire ends up leaning into the shot McCormick misses
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I totally agree! Im not sure how McCormick will have a pro future if he doesnt stay more on the baseline
You’re on fire, Karue! Neutralised McCormick’s big serve and brought your own too. Matches like this show the great variety you have in your game. Very well played!
Lacoste needs to sign this man already, he looks way too good in their gear! ❤️🔥
Great match! MORE DROP SHOTS! He was on the defense so many times that a disguised drop shot from the baseline would have been huge!
Very consistent game! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Excellent win! I felt like your groundstrokes were so deep and penetrating today. I lost count of the times he was backpedaling to hit the shot from your return. Along with your great serving, he was under constant pressure.
Walmart Agassi For The Win 💪🏼
The switch up angles were great!
Walmart Agassi isn't even a bad thing walmart gets by far the most grocery sales 22%, what about dollar store agassi
Crazy solid game, insane speed and intensity.
Thank you for sharing this K. Always very grateful.
Cheers and looking forward to more.
M
You' re playing against Álvaro Guillén right now...5-2 let's gooo Karue 💪💪💪
He just won 6-3 6-4 💪🏼💪🏼
Was here for these! Great to see you in live action.
Great match. A joy to watch. Thank you for sharing the journey.
Hi Karue, love your videos. I think your return is a hidden gem.
Well done great returning. Got to that backhand return of his a lot too.
You played great! Pleasure to watch you win that one.
Top to bottom this looked like a great tennis match. You took advantage of the breaks given and ended up on top. Your serve looks lethal! Great work 🎾
amazing progress on serve and return
Great match Karue, that’s a hecka of good season! Keep it up! I believe you’re gonna make to AO qualies next year
Good win, Karue. You played so solidly. It seemed like he could not hurt you from the baseline. You also took advantage of etracting errors out of his backhand. Whoo hoo!
After the 3 first points of the game I thought by HUGE SERVER does he mean himself? 😂 Great match!
Parabéns, Karue! Sucesso, garoto!
Your ground-game reminds me a lot of one of my favorite players, Aslan Karatsev, just super smooth grounders driven by insane wrist strength. Love your clean ball-striking
Love your effordless hittin! Great tecnique. Seems you could do that the whole day😅 You read his serve so well, he almost didn't made any second ball especially in the first set. Good luck for the tour
12:46 was in I think. Great match nonetheless! Your return skills are something else!
Vamos Karue! With the pace you're on, I can't wait to see you in a main ATP draw soon. GOAT.
Great to see some serve and volley mixed in there!
Congratulations on the new career high ranking Karue! Keep the momentum going.
YESSIR Karue! Keep up the hard work bro you’re my UA-cam 🐐
Hey Karue, love the content! Any chance you’ll be playing qualies at U.S. open? I live in NY and would love to see you live dude. Keep up the good work 💪🏽
I've never watched tennis before but for some reason I love your channel and seeing your matches. I've never seen one handed backhands like that before, is it common? No wonder he has a monster serve, dude is ripped if he can return backhands like that.
One handed backhands are great- he's like a mini version of Stan!
I am impressed with how much force both you and the other guy were able to bring to heavy balls. Feels like you are using 335g racquets with extra weight plus like an 18x20 pattern. He had a powerful one-handed backhand but made a tonne of mistakes with it (into the net) and it cost him the match.
YEAH!!!!! Time to go all the way Karue, you got this CHALLENGER!!!
Keep going Karue! Would love to see you in the slams
Congraulations on reaching a carrer high of 368 🎉🎉🎉🎉 wishing you the best of luck in future tournaments
He might’ve had a “huge serve” but your serve was just as effective! I bet you had around the same number of unreturned serves. You also hit lots of well-placed serves to set up +1 shots and volleys. 👏
good luck tomorrow man! let's get that W and go to the semis!
What a great match Karue. The ease with which you play and your clean hits are amazing. Did you switch rackets? Balls are more deep and solid, looks like it. I follow you also on Sofascore so, i hope you will go on and be very succesfull.
Good luck in Bogotá and welcome to Colombia!
14:54 he misses the backhand return and you won the next two points off backhand winners. He had a chance to get back in it but you shut the door. Bravo
Good win. Playing really good.
closed it out good. picked on his one hand back hand is only weakness and you came to the net to end some points quickly and you served amazing.
3rd and 4th games are a masterclass from Karue
Your forehand was rock solid in that match, even more so than your backhand, which is unusual for you. Well played, great performance.
you are the inspiration!
@Karuedoingthingz Great footage and congrats on top 400!! Such an amazing journey, keep it going man!
One thing - you would be so lethal if you developed a drop shot. The way you hug the baseline and push opponents back, a drop shot would keep them honest on their court positioning
Hitting all the serving spots this match Karue!!
Great match!
GREAT intensity.
Outstanding 💪
You took advantage of his subpar movement. Well done!
One day we’ll all get to see a Karue vs Alcaraz or Sinner match and it’s going to be mouthwatering 🤤
+2000 betting line on Karue all day on that one
Be hard to get a game off those guys, but possible!
Ur doing really well in bogota😭
Amazing win today
Hope you play more challengers soon!
You can see how difficult it is to get to the net in the modern game on (relatively fast to other surfaces) indoor hard courts.
Karue has the advantage of age. 😊 The calmness maturity serenity and absence of ungentlemanly behaviour is what defines a Sportsman 💪💪
You know you are having a bad day when you hit the chair umpire on a adjacent court in the head! 8:00
I love your channel. I love watching your journey. And I am inspired by and thankful for ALL of the content you create. I have and will continue to watch everything you put out there. But, at the risk of showing my age by quoting a certain movie reference, I have to ask…Dude! Who cut your hair?😉

At any rate, you saw that weakness and took advantage. Well done
Looking tough buddy!
Karue's right, his career comes first, let's go!
Karue, have you ever practiced with Fonseca?
Congrats on setting a new career high in the rankings 👏 let’s goooo
And McCormick may have lost the match but won hearts with that one hander lol 😂
Really looking forward to this next match of yours Karue (Juan Pablo Ficovich). If you win it, it will give you your highest ranking ever. Juan is a UTR 14.11, and you've just beaten Alvaro, who is a 14.15, so definitely possible. If you can play solid, you're in with a great shot, and I have my fingers crossed that you have a good day. Lets Goooooooooo!
Just saw the result. Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOO. Highest ranking ever, PLUS, you now get to play Facundo Mena, who has a lower UTR (14.05) than both the guys you just beat. Again, if you can maintain the level, you have a chance to do something really special. You're already into the SF of a 75 event; a final would be awesome. Fingers crossed again Karue. Go get 'em!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tennis...can tell you're dialed in
Check this timestamp!!! Congrats on the WIN 8/8 Just saw it go down!!!
Anything done to win a particular point ? (more spin, deeper, pace change, slice ) ?
8:08 Headshooot
Just honest criticism:

@@KaruesellHQ lie bro throw your opponents off🤔
@@JimmyButler101 🤣
playing some seriuosly good tennis
Your forehand is doing real damage. Reminds me of Nalbandian.
three six eight on monday, YEEEEEES!!
Lets Goooo seems like the big server is you instead HAHAHAHA
Served everything into his ohbh😂
If Tristan put more angles on his backhand, he would be hard to beat. He kept hitting them towards the center hash
Any chance for qualies at us open?
15:02 backhand 💀
Your serve, was the big serve!
Hi team. Can we start petition to organizators for wildcard to atp250 event for this guy? Happy to drive this initiative.
Served like a Titan
yayyyy karue posted
WTF was that first service game Karueeee!!!!! Out here sending ROCKETS
Rock on Karue!
At 8:09: "DISQUALIFIED!" :D
Oh. And don’t forget to split step when your opponent hits his shot.
What speed do you average on your 1st serve, Karue?
I notice on returns you sometimes come forward and split step, others you stay neutral and split, and others you go backwards and split. Is this based on something you're seeing in his service motion? Or based on if it's a first or second serve? Or simply just to give the server different variations of the timing on the return ball?
Good luck in Bogota tomorrow.
