Thanks for a fun match Winston and getting to connect with you in person! Love what you are doing and look forwards to seeing you in the near future. P.s. Come to Wimby 🎾🌱

@nguyen925 2 ай бұрын

It looked like Dylan was going full send with every shot but his timing was impressive. Good play from both players! New tennis content creator for sure 😂

@blaster36000 2 ай бұрын

Honestly, you're at minimum 13.3 UTR Dylan, there's no way your pro level diminished, while you went into tennis content creation! Also, I think I should now hint at a clash between two certainly big tennis content creators? (Gee vs Sell?) 😏😏😏

What I love about Dylan’s content is that not only is he informative, but he’s also very entertaining! Good playing from both players 👍

I have no idea how Dylan would stack up against Karue head-to-head, but I must say, @tenniswithdylan is the first player I have ever seen on your channel who seems like he might be able to give @MyTennisHQ a run for his money! Let's see that matchup!

govind was super close.. i guess marcus giron has technically now been on the channel too (and a few pros in the last week for quick hits) and he has beaten karue

@james-tennis 2 ай бұрын

Definitely a collab id like to see. Karue just beat Fritz in a practice set, albeit Fritz look hung over and they're comfortable hitting partners, but Dylan does look really great here it would be interesting. If Karue's serve isn't on then it might be close. Plus the lefty factor is real

@dpadron 2 ай бұрын

As of now Karue will take it, Dylan has not been practicing and training anything like a pro. Fitness alone is huge. But if Dylan were to train I don’t know, his strokes are awesome.

@ChaunceyDos 2 ай бұрын

Dylan might be more “talented” but Karue was and is on a higher level. Their ranking and results, past and present, are definitive.

I saw many of his videos but didn't know he was a monster. You can tell so many other internet coaches are not great and not fit for tennis, but was a pleasure to see a bit more of his personality and his skills. Great content Winston

Dylan!!! One of first ig tennis accounts I followed 2.5 years ago when I got back into tennis. Such a calm, sweet guy and good coach with a lefty swing I could relate to as fellow lefty. Had no idea he was this powerful and badass. 😳 Follow his account, very clear and great advice. Thanks again for a great video Winston. Awesome collab. Dylan!!!!!!

@Tlevy2 2 ай бұрын

Great stuff again. Dylan is very good to say the least. Agree with the comments that he is the first pro-caliber player I've seen on your channel outside of the actual pros and Karue.

@TimelyAdventure 2 ай бұрын

Another banger from Winston, also impressive that both players seemed to be hitting well (score notwithstanding as Dylan is semi pro) even with first time using both rackets. With Dylan, amazing kick serve out wide to the forehand and also the way he loads and explodes on the forehand.

@TheAbhi541 2 ай бұрын

Fantastic match. Really helps to see how levels differ. 6:27 shows a fantastic approach shot most people below 10 UTR including myself would have hit right into the net 4:11, you never meet anybody at the recreational level who can place winners accurately like that. Plenty of learning moments in this video to show the difference between a pro and a pretty good recreational player. Credit to Winston for being a good sport, and Dylan obviously gained a follower today

Lefty kick is something that is so hard to be prepared for. Juniors out there if you meet a good lefty server make sure to practice with them so you aren't caught off guard in a tournament setting.
