I remember speaking to a ATP players years ago and one I thing I remember his saying is that if you win the 1st set easily, you can easily dip, so always focus more than anything ie go 200% on trying to get to 3 games in the 2nd set without dropping any games.
Loved this video! Really gives me an inside on the skill level and what to expect when I potentially play in futures in the near future! Also thanks for uploading in 4k! Excellent quality and commentary. Hope to see you succeed to higher levels above 500! it's obvious you can do it.
I've been checking your channel everyday since the christmas racket guide. I was so excited to see that my wants have been fulfilled! Love your content as always!
Jeez the fitness of Tao in terms of how much energy he uses during points is something to see. Wonder how much that played a role for your second set. You almost had this one in the bag.
First congratulations for the match and high ranked opponent, good performance. I have to say, I don’t believe it was confidence issue, for me you just came back to the second set with less focus and too relaxed (almost lazy on the court). But I wasn’t there and wasn’t in your head, so just you can say what happened. Keep going, get them!
Happy Christmas Grish. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the whole community when I say thanks ever so much for providing a entire years worth of fabulous tennis content! 👍👍👍
You did amazing. In your first set you were playing him like you're a top 10 player, so you have the tools. I think you're just figuring the psychological part of it all. You're going to be super hard to beat. Keep up the great work. Cheers! M
Noob tactical observation. Your backhand cross court looked great in these highlights. Most importantly, you were able to cosistantly place it close to that sideline and it seemed you had an edge in those backhand exchanges. As much as you love your backhand down the line, I think you were doing him a favor when you went for that shot. should've just keep him under pressure cross court and make him find the solution, not offer him one :) Spectacular performance btw. Just shows that those guys are not aliens and that you're not that far away. Hope it gave you a lot of motivation to work even harder and climb those rankings in the near future. Good luck!
Yesss I was really good. I really enjoy those types of matches when your the under dog and you really have to fight. It’s really impressive how you’re getting better and best of luck for the future. Love from France❤️
Great match, you played really well GRISH. Good to see that you motivated yourself at the start too even though you felt flat. Playing tennis involves primarily having confidence in your skill set without the harsh expectations. Circumstances are hardly ever ideal for ..EVERYBODY, remember that. Take pride in your abilities and find the enjoyment of pure competition knowing that your opponent is just another version of you. Enjoying his differences and uniqueness will bring the best out of you.
what a weird match... 6-1 1-6...rarely ever see that. your level of tennis was actually extremely high in my opinion, lets not forget this guy is 500 in the world. i could tell you werent as free flowing after that early break in the 2nd set but everthing is a learning experience. keep pushing, i love your content!
Great playing Grisha! I think you could work a little on the shot selection - the under leg shots mid-point without any need for them, the smash being 3-1 up in the super, and a couple other shots where it looks like you were making an unconscious choice of "F it, I don't want to suffer". You have the shots and level to beat these guys! Go for it! Great content, as usual.
Great start to the tie break and amazing down the line on the backhand to go up 3-1; but the approach at 3-1 kills me , I thought you had it but you did not take advantage of that opportunity and that point change the match. If you are going to miss ,miss big specially against high ranking opponents and that overhead into the net kills me get back in the point like he just did. Good luck bro keep at it and learn from this loss it will only make you better 😎👍🎾
Видел на турнире в Питере Мыскину, хотел спросить про ваш совместный видос, не нашел возможности. Очень нравится смотреть этот контент и так же обзоры, правда когда два мнения о ракетке - выглядит полнее;( 9:20
Grisha, kak dela!!? I wanted your opinion on something. Should i play with a 100sq inch racket or is 98-97 better. Iv been playing with the prostaff 97 for a while now. Maybe i wanna switch to aero 98 or smtg elsr or should i stay in the prostaff line?
what a amazing video keep it up can I ask you a suggestion can you bring back top 5 rackets but for this time do top 5 rackets for power please keep up the good work
Great video. Watching it made me realize I have a little work to do. Simply get better serving, returning serve, forehand, backhand, volleys , speed , stamina and flexibility and I’ll easily be a 3.5
At the highest level, teams analyze opponent's patterns and develop strategies around them. That's not possible in these tournaments, but it should be possible to develop templates which you can apply and adapt as you discover your opponent's strengths and weaknesses. I'm interested to know how you approach the mental side of the game.
What happened here to you after the first set is called the finishing line effect. What happens is your motivation to win drops off just a little while the other player motivation to win. So can go a long way to explain whats happened. It actually happens a lot in a lot of sports. As performance psychologist I am wondering do players like yourself ever get a chance to talk to a psychologist? or is that something not that happens much at this level?
This match was in May... do u have footage of you playing Max Exsted (the next week) he was 15yrs old and beat you 06 06 I want to see how good he plays!
Hey man! I love your videos! I have a question, what do you think about your lower body intensity? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it enough? Especially on the match tiebreak Te deseo todo lo mejor amigo!
Grish, I don't want to make excuses, but I think you got distracted with the rain in the 2nd set. I know the opponent needs to deal with it too, but maybe it was more difficult because the momentum shift after the first game. I think it wouldn't have been 1-6 in set 2 if the rain didn't come down like that. I think that match was yours, just strange weather out of nowhere. I hope you luck in your next match. You're playing very well. And great attitude despite the loss.
you played soo well expecially in that first set, u did rlly well and u managed to break your opponent, and really gave the top 500 player quite the scare, could u please gimme tips on how to do that, in my acedemy i can beat pretty good players (even the ones that win itf junior events), but when it comes to tournaments, im losing in the first round where as the players in my acedemy are winning those tournaments and beating players who are rlly good, i have the same amount of experience as them in tournaments but am not able to play the same way in matches. if u have any tips it would be greatly appreciated as u have such an amazing game and ur always very confident i wanna be like u! hard luck on this match btw u almost had him
This might be a slightly crazy advice but the problem is that you put too much importance on those matches. Try to relax and play to enjoy and not just to win. Of course winning is important but there's no way of achieving a victory if your nerves make you feel so tense and pressured that you can't move. Lose that fear to lose and you'll start winning!
Don't beat yourself up to much on the result. You played an amazing match, especially the first set. It seems that Tao is really hugging the baseline, and in the beginning he had some difficulty controlling your depth, but at some point got into a groove. Also the wet court might have helped him a bit in keeping the bounce a bit lower. A super-tie-break is an unfortunate ending anyways. 1 or 2 slight misses or good balls can increase confidence so much. If here, you would have gone 4-1 up, I can easily see the result being the other way around. Small question: do you do the show-boating (e.g between legs shots/volleys) to keep relaxed? Or is it just natural to your game. Don't see that many top players do that in serious matches. Keep up the grind!
Great match! It’s amazing how you can keep the confidence at such a level and still make those tricky shots in a big match! Shout out from Brazil 🇧🇷! Keep on bringing this kinda content!
Well played. The first set was really impressive, because you were very consistent. But than, I think you somehow lost your focus a bit and started playing too passive also, and that let him back into the game. Keep it up. The potential is there.
Hard luck mate, if only you could have kept the same momentum/ consistency like the first set, you would be the winner. But anyway lesson learnt and consider it as a learning curve. Good luck in your next match champ.
I don't understand this underarm serve and some of the shots selection. yes, tennis is a game, but it is true when you play at the club. Kygrios or Bublik are comedian and although have great talent are not role models in the tennis pro world. As I watched all your tennis (on youtube) it seems that you fail yourself. Yes it is about confidence, but it is also about decipline. love what you do, and envy the play, but it seems you can do so much more. anyway great video as always. #Gladiators Tennis
Гриша, без обид. Но смотрю канал tennisbrothers - толи видео там ускоренное, толи непойми что, но там уровень намного выше вашей этой игры, хотя там парень борется за 1-2 очка atp вообще, т.е. у него где-то 1500 место в рейтинге. Как так получается?
that's why Nole is the GOAT mentally, he is really able to coach himself during a match when things are not going on his way. you have the shots to win, you need to improve mentally which is the hardest part in tennis
He has been playing challengers, though. In the 250 he got a WC, and got a couple of WCs for Challengers in China too, but he is entering qualis for challengers often, direct acceptance.
@@TenisAmador he has played 5 challenger events in his life. And all of them were in China where the entry level is much much lower. Being ranked 660, he would never get in qualies in Europe
@@Sahbaz83I am aware of that, also looke at his profile. The fact the "level is lower" doesn't change the fact he has played in challengers recently. The points he wins there are the same he would win in Europe because.... it's a challenger.
@@Sahbaz83 Wrong. He got a WC to the ATP250, the M1000 and to one challenger main draw (Guangzhou). He got directly accepted to the other challengers qualis (Shenzen, Shanghai, Zhuhai), including the one where he got through the quali and lost in the 1st round in the main draw.
I remember speaking to a ATP players years ago and one I thing I remember his saying is that if you win the 1st set easily, you can easily dip, so always focus more than anything ie go 200% on trying to get to 3 games in the 2nd set without dropping any games.
Fair advice
Really enjoyed this one. I’m sure you learned what you needed by watching this too!!! You got this. Go for it. Thanks
Thank you very much! Really glad you did!
It’s alright grisha keep your confidence up!!!!!!
Thank you so much!

That's awesome! Thanks so much!!
Love your energy in front of the mic and your talent with a racquet
Thank you very much!
Thanks, Grisha. Very motivating. “Emotionless unbeatable machine” - will try to convince myself being that at the next tennis game😅
Absolutely!
Jeez the fitness of Tao in terms of how much energy he uses during points is something to see. Wonder how much that played a role for your second set. You almost had this one in the bag.
You're totally right!

Thank you so much for sticking with this whole time! Means so much to me!!
Excellent vid.
You are so honest and vulnerable in these match videos. A real learning gift for wannabe players like me.
Vamos Grisha! U gonna make it! And thank u for the take about self confidence on the court - really inspiring. Always root for u. Lessgerit✊🏼
Thank you very much!! Really appreciate your support!
You did amazing. In your first set you were playing him like you're a top 10 player, so you have the tools. I think you're just figuring the psychological part of it all. You're going to be super hard to beat. Keep up the great work.

You are actually a very good player. This is the first time I have seen your channel. Nice video!
Noob tactical observation. Your backhand cross court looked great in these highlights. Most importantly, you were able to cosistantly place it close to that sideline and it seemed you had an edge in those backhand exchanges. As much as you love your backhand down the line, I think you were doing him a favor when you went for that shot. should've just keep him under pressure cross court and make him find the solution, not offer him one :)
Spectacular performance btw. Just shows that those guys are not aliens and that you're not that far away. Hope it gave you a lot of motivation to work even harder and climb those rankings in the near future. Good luck!
Thank you very much and you might actually be right! Thanks for the tip!
You have a beautiful backhand. I love how you crowd yourself. It looks amazing.
Love your stuff as always, Grisha!!
Although damn, we wanted the Glads shirt and now you have a hoodie??? WE WANT IT 🥲
Keep it up Grisha !!
Thank you! I will!
I can feel it’s gonna be a good one today🎉🎉
Hope you liked it!!
Yesss I was really good. I really enjoy those types of matches when your the under dog and you really have to fight. It’s really impressive how you’re getting better and best of luck for the future. Love from France❤️
Incredible video! Enjoyed watching indeed 🙏 thanks Grisha! the other opponent the weather ⛈️😬
Really glad you enjoyed it! hahahah yeah, the weather didn't help

Great match! Your footwork is awesome.
next time !!!!!!!after watching your videos, i feel like a friend of you , and just hope you see on the tours more and more
Grisha started video in Nike, for play he changed t-shirt to joma, and nex day he wared adidas. He is the most popular player for sponsors)
It is what it is man 😂😂😂😂😂
Tato's footwork is a blast to watch. He's no joke on that front.
GREAT job. Inspirational!!!
Thank you very much! Glad it is!!
Really enjoyed the video 🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed
Whoa crazy match ... Goes to show though how close you are to that 500 ranking though in a way!
Thank you so much!!
Damn, tough loss, great play and first set, and lesson for everyone though!
Thank you very much!

Love the use of the under hand serve. Especially on clay when people are so far back, I don't know why more players don't use it.
Definitely agree
Enjoy your commentaries ❤
Thank you very much!
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Great vid keep grinding
Thank you!
11:06 Is it just me but did Grisha hit a tweener?
Might've :)
That's the struggle with this format. 2 sets and aa supertiebreak. It can go either way at the tiebreak
Yep 🥴
Good Luck

Great match! It’s amazing how you can keep the confidence at such a level and still make those tricky shots in a big match!
Shout out from Brazil 🇧🇷! Keep on bringing this kinda content!
Thank you so much!! Sometimes they just feel right 😂
Hey Grisha, if it isn't too much trouble could you maybe make a video on your practices outside of matches?
There's a video on that! Not that long ago, Gladiators on Tour Reboot!
Even though you have quite an amateurish looking technique, looks like you can very well keep up with a player ranked 500. It is quite incredible.
Hey Grisha, I'm a 15-year-old junior aspiring to turn pro. Do you have any tips for the process? Thanks
Stick to the goal and make sure that tennis is all you wanna do in your life!
This was one of my favorite clubs in Spain!
It's beautiful!
you have serious game man. be that unstoppable machine non emotional beast on the court... you will crush them.
Thank you so much for the support!
Well played. The first set was really impressive, because you were very consistent. But than, I think you somehow lost your focus a bit and started playing too passive also, and that let him back into the game. Keep it up. The potential is there.
Totally agree with you! Thanks for the analysis!
“Back to the lab again yo”😂
Should have eaten mom’s spaghetti
They'd end up on the sweater tho 🙄😂😂
@@gladiatorstribe yeah but on the surface you would look calm and ready 😂
This club seems like Cercle sabadelles in Barcelona, is correct? Nice match!
Yep!
Hard luck mate, if only you could have kept the same momentum/ consistency like the first set, you would be the winner.
But anyway lesson learnt and consider it as a learning curve.
Good luck in your next match champ.
Totally agree with you and will keep it up!
Oh, the Christmas lights are nice
Hhahahahha thanks

Can't agree more😊
U took a top 500 atp pro to a super that’s pretty good man congrats
Thank you very much!!
Good tennis but you need to get more highr and spin to not miss a lot in the net which is something you intend to do alot
Good match. I think the most noticeable difference is his footwork. But could have gone your way
Could be!
Can you play a match against Felix Mischker, he's also tennis pro and does yt
Гриша, без обид. Но смотрю канал tennisbrothers - толи видео там ускоренное, толи непойми что, но там уровень намного выше вашей этой игры, хотя там парень борется за 1-2 очка atp вообще, т.е. у него где-то 1500 место в рейтинге. Как так получается?
Не знаю 🤷🏼♂️
I'm shocked
The forehand... It's the issue
Why 😢did you throw the game
Very nice
where is the referree?
If you work on improving your footwork you can take your tennis to a whole new level.
Totally agree
Things on here really aren't the same without Areg
You could have won that match man, you should have just kept doing what you did in the first set. It comes down to just how much you want it.
Thanks for the tip!
that's why Nole is the GOAT mentally, he is really able to coach himself during a match when things are not going on his way. you have the shots to win, you need to improve mentally which is the hardest part in tennis
Thanks!
This doesnt even make sense. I cant find where this match was played on the ITF site
Try by looking at my activity :)
@@gladiatorstribeI looked by his activity. He was at the same tournament, but played someone else in the first round
forvo помогает произносить незнакомые слова
Tao had a greater mindset than you on the day. I’m not so sure he has your range of shots though. You are definitely a top 500 player.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
I wish you could coach me :')
Close one
Yep!
Verynicee
no comments yet. Guess I am first🤷
I think so 🤭
Wow, it was really bad
