Hey guys. No premiere today. Actually on court right now haha thank you for the support. Don't forget to drop a like and a comment for the algorithm, tell me what you want to watch. Gimme ideas! See you soon
Thanks as usual K for sharing your amazing journey. Would love to one day hear from you about hitting on the run in your matches, or just after, during lateral stretches. Thanks again and looking forward to more. Cheers and hope you had a good workout. M
Just letting you know, that I find your current content really good. The commentaries on your own matches are very enjoyable, a great mixture of pride, self-irony and enthusiasm for the game. Regarding ideas, here's a few. 1) How about a cross promotion with Felix Mischker. He reviews one of your games and you review one of his. It might gain you both a few extra followers 2) I have played amateur sport at a high level (Euro and World level). When ordinary people hear the word "training" I don't think they really appreciate what it means to train at at a high level and in your case, the highest level. They don't really know it means to do three hours of sprint, strength, plyometrics etc work multiple days a week. Perhaps some video showing that really shows the pain in doing this would be interesting and how the individual exercises relate to your game. Perhaps a longer one. 3) I really like your serve action and although I'm a relative beginner at tennis, I have been trying to copy it. Perhaps a shorter video on your ball toss, your stance and your technique when hitting the different types of serves e.g. down the T, out wide, spinning into the body, big kicker. What are you focussing on for each of these. I would certainly be looking at your game review videos with an extra keen eye on your serving motion, if I had this insider info. Once again, thanks for sharing your journey, I wish you all the best.
@@conanthecribber There already are serve videos and videos with Felix on this channel. As Karue is very good at playing the right ball at the right time there probably isn't a lot insight Felix could add that Karue can't add himself. I like suggestion 2) though. Showing the pain of training on this level. We want to see you suffer, Karue!
Once again, your analysis of the tactics and play of the match was perfect. I think you are a gifted analyst. I disagree with those who do not like your forehand. I love how little preparation you need, so you can hit it quickly and with some power. BUT, one of the reasons your backhand is SO killer is that you take it so early and attack with it. You will have the forehand success that I want to see, when you "see" that same attack as you set up for the forehand. Look at the ball when it's about to land, position to take it even earlier- like you do on the backhand- and attack it!
Holt vs Boyd on Matt Lin’s channel was the video that got me sucked into the whole UA-cam tennis content rabbit hole. Great to see he’s still competing at such a high level!
I think it's an awesome opportunity to play someone so similar to yourself, even the clothes too!😂 Love watching your videos and excited to see where you go
Really enjoying your “turning pro” content, even though I’ve been subscribed to your channel much longer than that. Keen to follow your continued ATP journey in 2025. You offer good insights into game styles and the ups and downs of being on the tour. Not many channels on UA-cam like that. I remember Nishioka used to (or still has?) a channel with similar content. Anyway, great stuff!
The other day I went back and watched a couple of your matches from earlier this year and see the marked improvement - you’re better able to sustain rallies and ultimately recover after being put on the defensive. Looking fwd to watching you in 2025 👍🏻👍🏻🎾
Hope preseason has got off to a great start Karue, been a lot fun to follow the journey this year and wishing you even more extraordinary achievements in 2025! - are there any frames you have been testing the last few days which have impressed you?
You spoke in another vid about how abbreviating your takeback (hip-shallow) is improving your forehand timing and confidence. And I can see it in operation here. It's rounding out your game. Noice!
Tennis ball manufacturing must have gone downhill. I recently watched a college match where two different courts broke several balls. A few balls in each match fully deflated.
Go for it!!! I’m buying Vcore and 100d percent from watching you. I’m 4.0 and played with Vcore 100 and had the best sevens I ever have. I’m not sure if I should go 95, 98, or 100.
Great match Karue against your twin🤪. He is very solid, great footwork both. Very high level with amazing points. I like the agressive Karue.Tactical very strong from both of you. And about your dropshot: indeed, you keep doing that. Is that doubt? You push it a little. It looks insecure, as if you think. Oh no, why am I playing a dropshot.
Great content thanks Karue - would be great to hear about what you were thinking strategy wise in the context of the score - did you change your strategy at different moments - and what did you perceive your opponent doing also in the score context. I guess there are standard points throughout the matches - and then key ones - how you think about that would be interesting as you comment on the play.
Queria testar as cordas que vc utiliza. Tem muito review na internet falando muito bem delas. O triste é que o kit de 12 dólares chega aqui no Brasil por 170 reais...
Bravo! It seems to have been one of those boom-boom-baam matches. Rarely any slices - or was there simply no opportunity for it due to the power game you both played? Throwing in a few here and there to break the rhythm could maybe have played into his hands in this match.
Are there any particular shots you want to improve in the off season? Like drop shot? Serve? (I feel like the elite servers follow through with there tossing arm a bit more to have the left shoulder even higher above the right one)
Karue I feel like every video you break every first serve game vs opponent. Have you mapped out what that percentage is for each set. I have to believe it is your highest break percentage?🎉
Good match. Question, how do you state your mind to close out a set if your ahead? I tend to overthink my shots and my opponent comes back and now I’m battling a tie breaker when I could have closed it out 4 games ago?
@@KaruesellHQ If they were on their best day I think 4 or 5 points in a set is about right. If you agreed a challenge - say you had to keep them to just 4 points in the set - then it could change as that would be extra pressure and you might over hit a bit going for lots of straight winners..? This might sound like trivia to anyone reading but I've played against county players and the pace is something I think a lot of rec players don't understand.
First time I saw Karue was in Winston Du's channel some 3 yrs ago I guess. Winston was up 30-0 by handicap in all games and didn't win a game. I'm pretty sure he's the one Karue later beat with the Saber (I actually did not watch that video as I assumed how that was going to turn out). They did some fun and grear collaboration. Karue's biggest debt to the tennis community was to not have improved Winston's serve 😅✌🏼
@@elchanclascocina Yeah I remember that match and yeah I would expect 6-0. Against a high level player if their feet get a foot inside the baseline you're getting attacked. With a sitter when their feet are a foot behind the baseline you're getting attacked.
@@spooky1304 i hear what you are saying. I feel you have to earn getting your feet on the baseline, otherwise, if you just step on it without earning it, most likely the incoming ball is going to hurt you, you are going to hit a sitter and they are going to feast on you. This is a fact in high level tennis, it's actually how you win or lose in high level tennis, the person who is consistently earning to hit closer to the line has more possibilities to attack and win. Perhaps this time they were even more back than usual? I didn't notice, but, indoor balls skid more, and I feel you need a little more space because of that.
Im a bad Tennis Player but one of the best Analytic Spesialistas. I saw you winning 1 Year ago against Top 200 Players. I see you winning also against a Top 100 Player. Like Predicted Prognosis
Hey Karue, been loving your content! I’m a filmmaker who has covered golf content, but would love to make some tennis content/storytelling. Let me know if you ever wanna collab!
Karue your strategy is wrong. First you don’t know how to hold the baseline. 2 pick the ball up on the rise that means moving in on the ball before it even bounces. Your strokes are good but you waste the effectiveness because you stand so far back when you hit. Stop hitting to the opponent. The ball is the enemy not your opponent.
In professional tennis the ball bounce much deeper in the court. If the players stand closed, there timing wouldn’t be optimal and no good for their gamestyle.
Great match. He seems to win points when your hit short balls to him. If you keep our returns deep your games may be shorter. Keep it up and make progress in your future matches.

Love these videos honestly, totally happy just waiting for these every few days. Keep it up!
For those that don’t know Brandon Holt is the son of tennis great Tracy Austin. Good win Karue!
Fun to see guys I watched playing college tennis now playing you in the pros.
Actually love when you’re surprised how good of a shot you hit.
Really love your reflections,on your games while rewatching. Really helpful
What a Journey this year has been, no comparison with the level you stated the year at, sooo impressed with your growth.
Love it Karue. Feels like we’ve grown with you into this new phase of life and career. It was a pleasure to see you play in Tiburon!

Always love a new Karue video!
I envy You guys in California for the all-year Tennis weather. Here in Germany it feels like 5 months of off season right now😢
True. But actually I like playing on carpet even more. 😅
Sending my condolences from Florida
Awesome match and insight! Thanks for documenting your journey, Karue! I'm really looking forward to seeing the training livestreams.
Hej Karue, that was fun watching that one with you. That point after the shocking drop-shot was a killer. I smiled with you.

Nice Humble commentary Karue... always enjoy it! Fun to follow your progress. Don't give up - you have many years left going hard.
Hey it would be really cool to see more of your footwork and fitness sessions in a week. This stuff is also amazing! Great matches.
Very solid match, high speed, consistent performance, getting better and better! 💪🏻

Wow Karue, your mobility is through the roof! And let’s get to Rolanga in top form.
Tennis ball manufacturing must have gone downhill. I recently watched a college match where two different courts broke several balls. A few balls in each match fully deflated.
Love your work!
Like your channel the best out of all tennis channels right now
Didn't even know there was a challenger event in Drummondville. Definitely would have popped by to give a few cheers 😲
This is a tremendous win, Holt is an absolute beast!
Super interesting point constructions.
Super solid hitting!!! Love it
Good tennis games
Comment for the algorithm! Love your content Karue. I ruptured my ACL playing basketball, on to Tennis we go!
Great playing, Karue.
Go for it!!! I’m buying Vcore and 100d percent from watching you. I’m 4.0 and played with Vcore 100 and had the best sevens I ever have. I’m not sure if I should go 95, 98, or 100.
good vibes

The jumping smash was a solid 10 🤌
So impressive!
Great vidoe❤
I think your play looks a lot better compared to earlier in the year. Ball striking has gone up a lot.
Nice match. Sell moving so well. Quality of top 50 easily 😊
Поздравляю, отличная игра 👍🏻
backhand is so so good karue 🔥
I meaaaan, pretty good tennis here ❤ hell yeah you're right😍
French Open Qualies. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO.
let's go, end the season on a high!
Great content thanks Karue - would be great to hear about what you were thinking strategy wise in the context of the score - did you change your strategy at different moments - and what did you perceive your opponent doing also in the score context.

Would love to see you play court level!
He's gonna break Top 100 next year. Opponents are constantly moving back against him. Once he gets his dropshots more consistent he'll be unstoppable.
what a match!
Love it!
nice mate. keep hard work
Brandon's mother was one of the greatest of all time --Nice win
Tracy Austin
Queria testar as cordas que vc utiliza. Tem muito review na internet falando muito bem delas. O triste é que o kit de 12 dólares chega aqui no Brasil por 170 reais...
You guys coordinate outfits? Nice job Karue!
Good vid
lol I guess Karue’s game style is Fritz’s kryptonite seeing as both Karue and Brandon beat him 😂
the goat🦍

Bravo! It seems to have been one of those boom-boom-baam matches. Rarely any slices - or was there simply no opportunity for it due to the power game you both played? Throwing in a few here and there to break the rhythm could maybe have played into his hands in this match.
Courts looked super fast
@ He said the surface was quite gritty, that points to a slow court with more bite on the ball due to higher friction.
Love it
Percept all the way
u really look like Agassi on both fh and bh side. especially bh side
Not sure if I’ve seen two players in a challenger wearing identical kits
Are there any particular shots you want to improve in the off season? Like drop shot? Serve? (I feel like the elite servers follow through with there tossing arm a bit more to have the left shoulder even higher above the right one)

Karue, how did you manage to avoid any injuries during the season?
Karue could you please participate in the Canberra International?
Would you rather qualify to main draw for RG or Wimb?
could you get to the australian open playing doubles????????
2 pairs of socks to bed = best sleep possible😅😮😮😮😢😢😢🎉🎉😂
I can’t sleep with socks on but whatever gets you the best sleep 👍🏻
Let’s go 🎉
Your favourite tennis player's favourite tennis player
Mammoth is open?
He does play a lot like you. I think you may have a little more heat on your serve.
That's Tracy Austin's son isn't it?😊
ATP 250 Qualies in the Golden Swing?
Alright Karue. What would you expect the score to be if you played a 4.0-4.5 player. Would you expect them to get maybe 4 or 5 points in a set..?
I’ve played a 4.5 on the channel using a 37sq inch racquet and didn’t lose a game. So you do the math
