Your content is great my man. If I watched stuff like this when I was learning to play in High School (1996-2000) it would have helped so much. I didn’t have money for lessons so just spent a lot of time on the court trying to figure out how to get better. There is such a “paywall” in tennis in my experience, if the ATP wants more kids playing the sport they should support people like you making content that is freely accessible and doesn’t require a membership to a club, expensive private lessons, and knowing the right people. Hoping you can find a way to thrive in this climate as it sounds like financially the tour is unrealistic long term. I’m a fan, wish you the best and looking forward to more of your work.

I didn’t even realize that was you in those college tennis videos! I always love rewatching all of those Matt Lin college tennis videos :)

I absolutely love the way you deliver this great content. Keep on, that's great!

This has been a real eye opener & really good advice. “Your norm/groove” vs shots & easy balls that are not aligned with it & how to deal with them is basically everything in tennis. This explains why great players can lose to pushers that hit lousy shots all the time. I recently lost to someone claiming to be 3.5-4.0 competitive, while I am 4.0 or very close to being one overall. Turns out he was just someone that was fast and hits like a 3.0. I ended up hitting his bad & randomly placed shots that ended up everywhere, out, but this also has to do with night fall coming + the moisture in the air that came with it. The results of that + his awkward shots = my shots kept going out. If I had just kept the ball more neutral instead of playing my game in an uncomfortable territory, make him try to win it instead, I wouldn’t have lost.

It is SO fascinating to know what you are thinking in matches, thank you for all of this! I love your videos, very super helpful.

Well explained. There are tooooo many "tennis coaches" on KZfaq over analyzing shots, tactics and techniques

Great video mate, really helpful and your calm delivery comes across well.

Doing a great Job Karue. You definitly bring it to the point. Slow swings helped me most ...

Great series, Karue! We have been upping our live feed and point play drills in practice and it is amazing to see the increase in improvement compared to balls being fed. Don't get me wrong they have their place, but we are probably more like 80/20 now during our practices. Thanks again!

Really useful. Thank you. I just had the herky jerky experience that you mentioned during the match. I played well in practice and also the match but I just couldn’t adjust well enough to the other player’s slicing, dicing and excellent placement. It’s really good advice and hopefully with practice I’ll find ways to deal with it.

Hi Karue, I've been playing tennis since I was 10 (now I'm 38). I have never seen anyone break down the complexities of the strokes and tactics in such a simple and digestible format. You and Mouratoglou are the rock stars of tennis internet coaching. Much respect for the work you do, and my backhand has gotten so much cleaner as a result of watching you and practice.

Amazing video, really feel it will help me with my mindset on the court. I'm always getting thrown off by mishits, mine or my opponents.

6:42, instant classic. Karue, I was laughing so hard I basically missed the rest of the video. This was some unedited magic right there. Cheers and thanks for yet another great video!

I’ve been watching loads of videos from you and I learned certain types of balls which I need to hit to make the ball in to keep my pace or make a point to win. I’ll keep learning. Thank you for the videos.

Commentary during match play or point play is honestly some of the most useful thing imo. And something that I don't see very much of on YT, at least from respectable sources such as yourself. Thank you for the great content! Subscribed ;)

Dude great video, super helpful and unique input. Keep it coming!

Good tip about 'manage' and 'attack'. I've heard this before but totally forgot it. Watching you make me realize that I don't have any 'weapons' like your deep ball cross court and backhand down the line. I'll practice some 'weapons' so I can apply your tactics. Thanks. Subscribed.

Not to endlessly repeat myself….but once again, another great video with a ton of great insight and useable material. I love the player’s perspective.

Great reminders and tips!!

Great content! Thanks.

Great video! Thanks.

Thanks a lot dear Karue. These are things i wish someone told me when i was younger. Keep up

Love all Your videos Karue. Fantastic tips

I said it before, the live comments during the points really provide excellent insight into how to develop the points.

Great video, Karue! Really shows how much tennis is a game of the unexpected, full of opportunities--both earned and missed.

Thanks for responding to my comment! I appreciate your practical approach / advice! Looking forward to the series on returns!

Thanks for this content I'm getting back into tennis after 20 years break and this is awesome

Thanks for the advice and reminders to our gameplay. Nice vid!

Thank you for the great contents… This is a big part of the missing puzzle in my game !

Thank you very much! Very valuable stuff man, appreciate it a lot :)

Great Content. It looks like you're playing on all my neighborhood courts. I would not be surprised if that motorcycle was a buddy of mine leaving the court.

Great tips, always enjoy watching your video.

Vamos lá !!! Incrível essas dicas

Great video. Really helpful. my biggest improvement has come from playing more forehands and hitting most of them cross-court. it keeps me in the points longer. Still hit the backhand a lot but using the forehand seems to raise my percentage of winning points. Have worked on my footwork to get around the ball and from a losing record have moved to a winning record without hitting any extra balls in practice.

Really, really good stuff. Please make some serve and serve tactics (choice of serve, serve+1, return+1) videos in the future. This is pure gold.

Very useful advice to keep the feet moving and aim for big targets while still keeping opponent on the run. Also plan to mix my practice sessions up more to simulate match play

Como sempre muito bom o video! Interessante que o Eubanks esta nas qualis dos grandes torneios. um abraço.

Awesome tips dude......viewer comment was spot on!

Great rallies! Looks like it would be fun to spectate at this guy's matches

It's Very Nice to get ALL this tips and hints from a former PRO PLAYER... tks

Great one Really helpful

Thanks for the video.

It's fun to see a familiar face on KZfaq. I watched you play Holt in the Santa Maria Open year. Helpful video. I continually go for too much! I need need to hit more often down the middle. "Staying Nuetral"

amazing video as always!

This matchplay series has been gold! Thanks so much Karue! Super excited for the next one about returning.

How did i just find this channel, this is awesome. I had seen the match against Eubanks before though, i'm a court level videos addict.

Great Content!

Thanks.

Great vid as always. How's the new Head feel?

Thanks a lot! Very insightful. Unlike other coaches, they over-analysis that not useful in match.

Good stuff

Thinking about combo is so important. Even strong amateur do the mistake after hitting a very great shot they "stop playing" and then they arrive late to an "easy" or "weak" ball, and end up losing a point they "shouldn't lose" and from that point it gets in their head and it's all going down from there.

Nothing like getting into the mind of a great player! Thanks Karue.

gods work!

Amazing 👍

Quality content

Muito bom!!! Parabéns

What a great 3 part series, looking forward to more in the future!

I greatly improved when I became cognizant of my net clearance, and began taking aggressive swings at conservative targets......When you are fit.....You have options

Great video

Olá Karue, boas dicas. Os teus vídeos estão a criar o grande puzzle que é o ténis. Admiro muito o teu trabalho. PS: Grande abraço para o Marcos e adorei vê-lo jogar em Sofia. Para a próxima diz-lhe para fechar o jogo na primeira oportunidade 💪 😉 Abc de Portugal

Your thoughts about tactical choices before starting a point would be really interesting

Wise words.

You must be loving that new Head boom Pro - a mixture of your two fave companies, head and yonex, even the shape looks like it was a by-product baby of the two !

Good stuff Karue! When are you getting back to the tour? The channel is doing well! You could do videos from touring too ;) Too young and too good to be retired man!

This content is super helpful man! Always enjoying learning skills from watching your videos, appreciate it! Btw, i noticed you using the Boom racket. How do you feel about that racket?

hey mytennis hq!Tennis modern forehand (semi westen) Do most pros finish with the windshield wiper motion? What happens to the wrist and forearm during contact ? Does the forearm rotate?

down the line back hand was always my favourite shot as well. Even slice down the line is sweet. A dude i hit with a lot always complained i never hit him the same ball twice. So sometimes id hit 4 flat then 4 topspin and sometimes very random til he cried again lol. But now he is playing league and beating all his opponents. Its best to have a variety of shots snd feel out your opponent especially at lower levels sometimes spin and placement wins and theres no need for much risk

"combos" - my goodness, something so simple has opened the door for me mentally!

I like the long sleeves you wear

Hey, very helpful vid! What racquet and String combo do you use??

My uncle was the #1 player at Guam's Naval base in 1976. (That's what the plaque said). Sets are the only way to improve he said. So you can learn the deep neutral balls and make adjustments, not just hitting hard regardless. To this day I always play practice points to engage, prior to practive sets when I instruct. Kids who follow this, always make the high school teams in a competitive California district.

Yea the first time where i played a 13 was when i got a taste of my own medicine and really had a lot more fun in tennis when you go through this phase of back and forth. it really fuels your drive to be better.

@mytennishq how long have you been working on your game?

Are you playing a new racquet and what are your thoughts on it

6:41 looked like Jim Carrey there hhh, Motocycles :p

Hey Karue! Are you thinking of going back to the pro circuit sometime? Would love to see you in challenger or ATP matches!

"try to play where your opponent is not", i love this

What is this for a racket ?

Are you using a Head racket now? I though you played yonex?! What model are you using now and why?

Is these the Hermosa Beach courts?

You look like Nadal, Karue!🤣 Great channel! Thanks so much for it!

Can you link to the two videos referenced in this series ? Thx

I know those courts very well. Have played there a few thousand times.

Hey need ur help. is it to late to turn pro at the age of 23?

What style is the opponent in the red playing with? Looks like he has two backhands.

Did you move from Yonex to Head?

Yo bruh thats a cool color grip what kinda of grip is that haha

Is that a Prestige MP with a custom paint you use?

What ur racket

Karue! You have a hedgehog in your shirt! 🤣

How to get admission in college tennis

You got this! .... I think that racket is too light for you. Waiting to see your review

Are small grips the best?

Excelente. Não sei se tem como, mas um Patreon em BRL seria uma forma possível de incentivar o canal

You ended up using survive, attack and neutral. I don't like neutral as a word, it's too passive, I prefer build. My default is I am looking to build the point with high % shots that incrementally push my opponent to uncomfortable places.

Can you make a vid ab sliding

Hey Karue! Did you switch racquets to that Head??

Is that the new Head frame?!?

Did you switch to Head?
