I’m a woman and I’m 4’8 even shorter. I’ve never let my height discourage me from doing anything. I just started tennis a month ago and my coach says that being short is a good thing in tennis. I guessss I have a better sense of gravity than those of talent people. Diego is def an inspiration

so we're just going to pretend that he's John Isner? It's not an insult, it's actually a compliment that despite his size he has some incredible talent

Vitor Hara his height is only important for the fans and the media because when the pro players are about to face him they only talk about that cause everyone keeps asking them about it. The pros knows that on that level (top 15) doesn’t really matters.

unowen7591 talent is innate, has nothing to do with height. Everything else is just hard work and mental strength. Nobody has to pretend he is isner but that doesn’t mean you have to make a big deal about height difference every match.

Height matters a little bit alright. But the science behind the tennis ball is that, gravity will pull down that ball and height doesnt matter anymore.

pluto15 new what the f***** are you saying??? You realize how dumb you sound? What you say just exposes to the world that you clearly don’t play tennis and don’t know even a thing. Height does matter in tennis, there is an advantage. BUT BUT it isn’t everything, there are many factors that define a player skill level. Your explanation about gravity on the ball in relation to a person’s heigh is utter rubbish! Stop trying to sound smart.

its a converted break point. they usually include those in an extended highlight vid.

Well, it was a break point and for me good highlights inclued crucial points no matter if it was an unforced error or winner. Break points are always crucial so if I was to make highlights I would probably inclued every break point because that is how you get the best image of how the match went.

@spiones2 more? That would have been too long for this video...

Zverevs height was actually a disadvantage cause hes getting tired as the match went on and on. Diego is always the favorite vs zverev when they have to play 3 or 4 hours.

Lukas H. That’s just BS, that his height wore him down. He is not like Isner or Karlovic, who aren’t as mobile. He is quite mobile, though not as explosive as Tsitsipas and Medvedev who are of similar heights. His passive play and lack of intensity throughout the 2nd and 3rd set and early 4th, as well as other factors were what cost him the match. I actually watched the match and it was later in the 4th set that he finally woke up and played a little better. Sorry, but the height being a disadvantage is just BS with Zverev. He is not like those giants from back then who cannot really move or play through grindy matches. Height was not a factor in how he lost this match.

@@JiraiyaSama86 zverev is way to tall and not fit enough to play rallies all the time and beeing fit after 3 4 hours . Every single time he has to play vs a really good opponent and he has to run for 3 or 4 hours hes tired , not like a for example thiem . And yeah his height has something to do with that. Medvedev was tired af too after 3 4 hours play. And tsitsipas is not quiet his height and hes way more athletic than zverev so that comparison is bs.

I was never saying that he lost the match because his heigt was a disadvantage . I was just trying to say that when he has to play 3 4 hours against a physical dude like diego , he doesnt win the match that often because he doesnt move well anymore cause hes pretty big.

Lukas H. They are young. They haven’t completely maxed their frame yet. You have no idea how they are going to peak. No one does. So do not presume that he is doomed just based on this. You seem to be forgetting that Medvedev nearly won against Rafa and managed to keep it close to the end at the US Open Final. And it was best of 5. It takes time. These days even more so. Most players peak at around 25 to 27 now, maybe later. Del Potro has shown it’s possible, and he’s the same height. Height only really affects certain things like leverage, contact zone among other things. It does not have to determine the reason why players lose. They are professional tennis players. They train for how to play all types of opponents. They also know their limits and weaknesses. They train for how to deal with these situations.

I’m 4’8 ( woman ) he’s def an inspiration

@@baby16gurl9 are u into short guys

It’s even better with his setup: 28” length racquet Alu Power 125 strings on cross/main Gives him extra punch power. Overall, an underrated and outstanding player.

Just because hes smaller than zverev doesnt mean hes less physicall. Actually hes way fitter than zverev as you could see when the match reached 3 hours ,zverev had no power in the 4th set and diego looked like he just went on the court.

@@lukash.4690 Oh I meant his height and reach, of course his fitness is absolutely top notch, which is another reason why I respect him.

Honestly speed is overrated. Agassi used to serve 100 mph, Rafter 110 mph, Fedster 110 mph and get easy service games. Diego just needs to improve his toss and timing imo and he'll be set.

@@farid1406 Dude schwartzman is 1.7m, you think it's easy for him to serve aggressively? He just has to serve with topspin most of the time to get the ball in, can't be smashing flat serves left and right like players with 1.85m+ can. His toss and timing are fucking world class, but there's only so much you can do at that height. Zverev is the one who needs to work on his serve, more precisely his second serve. His second is pathetic for his height, he's hitting so many double faults and pussy 68mph serves like at 21:15

@Vitor Hara He's probably talking about the average serve speed. Federer has an average first serve speed of 117 mph tho

Zverev is the only top player who has a weak second serve. Espacially on break point hes weak af

ok he sucks at volleys

And he sucks at 2nd serves and he sucks when he has to play 4 or 5 sets, you could see it when they played 2.5 hours he looked pretty tired and diego looked like he just came on the court.

You are perfect?

@@dexvil_yt2605 yep

For real though his forehand is lacking

Of course

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

Because of coaching... several times

A small height might be an advantage in some single aspects of the game but overall is a handicap. There's a reason there's only four or five players under 1,75m in the top100.

@@Balfour. i agree that the ideal height is around 6'1 but we can't say that smaller height is that big of a handicap.

Muhammad Sohaib Imran it is a pretty big handicap tho, makes it much harder at the net

Andy? Andy murray??? Wwwhat , murray is one of the biggest fighters ever, runs for every ball. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You’re joking about Andy right? He’s known as the guy that runs for every ball, his play at the baseline is defensive

@@rolinti9146: I agree with you and Lukas. I don't know how I came up with Andy. Maybe I was having a stroke about this time 7 months ago. Anyway, I'm all better now.

NotSoHandyTim hahaha 😂 not to worry, we all know that the true goat for tracking every ball down is Tomic anyway

I’ve noticed that with players like Karlovic.

Nope, he said "Si" which means "Yes"

He looks like shorter

Xectro damn thats poor sportsmannship

Xectro looks like in the direction of his team

This had nothing to do with schwartzmann, he obviously was tired of his box.

Te parece sobrevalorado Schwartzaman? No llega a medir 1,70 mts. y fue número 11 del mundo. Siempre da batalla contra los mejores. Nunca va a estar a la altura de los mejores, pero juega una locura.

No niego que sea bueno pero hay tenistas argentinos q pueden dar más q el solo q todos enfocan en el y ps no creo q sea tan grande como lo pintan así de simple

Evgeny Dorokhov why are you calling Germans Nazis?
