This should be required viewing in high school and college. It would save so much heart ache and frustration. To know 4.5 tennis looks like this and isn't something that is slightly sub-Federer. 4.5 is top 10% of players in the world, and it looks like this.

That's a completely new sport!

Junk ballers.

You're telling me you're an 8-10 utr? Yeah no chance, maybe a 3.

I've noticed MEP beats 4.5s who can't volley or hit overheads. That 12-year-old destroyed him, despite not being much "better" than the 4.5s he's beating, because that 12-year-old could play net competently. No one at 4.5 hits hard enough to hit through MEP from the baseline, but it's really not *that* hard to volley his balls away - most just don't practice it enough.

How come the blue guy moves so quickly.. omg!! He is a hope for many people

Watching tennis of this and guy similar, make me sick!

MEP actually has a better forehand than the other player.

wow mep actually did some topspin shots!

I've never seen MEP do so many unforced short shots. It's like they're both giving each other much more opportunities to approach than they would a normal offensive player.

Why didn't MEP use more of the very high, deep lobs? They were clearly very effective and forced his opponent to wait, reset, do an defensive shot, and even miss. MEP even realised that they were effective and said something "my only hope is the sun" . Was he going easy on his opponent? Why? He's a much higher skill level than MEP , he doesn't need MEP''s help or pity. I'm disappointed in MEP not trying his hardest.

MEP should have used the first set after the first 4 games to try out some different strategies like deep, high lobs. The few times that shot happened child seemed to have trouble looking into the sun and was forced to wait until after the bounce had returned to a low height to take the shot and so was unable to press their advantage and had to resort to a defensive shot. MEP coould have used that to frustrate and wear out his opponent. Why didn't he? I'm sure the thought occured to him?.

MEP wasn't bringing his A game in this game. in his game against orange shirt he had great precision and could choose to do a down the line pass or a lob whenever he wanted but that was missing from this game and it didn;'t look to me like the child opponent hit much harder or deeper from the back or anything than orange shirt

why didn't green shirt hit his balls deeper ? It looked like most of orange shirt's opportunities came from green shirt hitting the ball slowly to the service line. It's not like you need to rip a tonne of speed or a tonne of topspin to hit a ball deep. You can just put a very easy and controllable amount of speed and top spin to get. kind of lob-ish forehand that lands deep and is hard for the opponent to put pace on or get a good angle with.

Even though he lost the first set, absolutely clutch ace to save set point

I think MEP would be an awesome hitting buddy, he gets everything back and has no ability to hit winners. He is perfect for practice. The girl was not aggressive enough. Every short ball she should be chipping and volley, MEP cant pass

The guy in green 🤣 local Brad Gilbert?

I admire the green shirt movement. Its like Napoleon dynamite on tennis

OMG now there are 2 of them...

MEP has 4 tits

Foot fault and volley

He probably never broke a string in his life. I would rather just retire than play this guy.

M.E.P could also stand for ' Most Efficient Player '. During a three set match, he might cover two kilometres, only.

Yellow needs to think about just a little footwork

The guy in blue definitely needs to play against 5.5 players. In CA we call guys who play down "sand baggers". He's not getting much out of the competition and should play folks who can are a step ahead/read their opponents and execute shots that put their opponents on their heels. Things happen much more quickly at the next level. The guy he played is a decent 5.0 but did not really pressure the guy in blue - who seemed to have all the time in the world to set up a point. The elite D-1 players punish weak points and hit deeper and more forceful shots. I don't think the guy in blue even broke a sweat.

Sorry this guy is not a 4.5, but the kid is going to be a real player.

I can understand the brilliance of the green shirt guy, but can someone tell me why the orange shirt guy plays so short? It's almost always within the service line !

No way is that guy a 4.5.

Are split steps not allowed in this match?

Both are so bad, MEP won both easily

Is this Tennis NO

I used to have a coach that played his matches like this. He was in his 50's and while he had better mechanics than MEP does, he modified his game to be like MEB in order to win with consistency, court position, shot variation and energy conservation. Though I find it boring to watch, it worked - I saw him take apart a couple of good 5.0 players.

I can see how frustrating players like these can be. Their main goal is to put the ball back into the other side of the court. Nevertheless, it is a skill in itself. Sadly, most average players will beat themselves out of impatience and frustration against an MEP. By the way, please increase the playback speed to 1.75, it then miraculously becomes a NORMAL match ;-)

When someone cheats against me, I'm flattered. I know I'm better.

How to cause tennis elbow

The 50-year old with a one handed backhand and excellent footwork. Wow!

BEN(mep) IS NOT 4.5.He is more like 1.5

😂it is so nice to see this piece of trash bageled 6-0 and ESPECIALLY TO A 12 YR OLD

Mister nightmare vs mister bad dreams on court

Boss shouldn't gift intentionally any game to his opponent, it was a mistake.

Great movement Ben. Incredible defense. Made him hit shot after shot after shot. Nice match!

Im convinced bro would win Wimbeldon .... in 1912!!

These ratings tell me that tennis ratings are just as inaccurate and corrupt as golf handicaps.

guanabi = guanabanon

To play S&V, you need athleticism and quickness in addition to skill. If you are not quick then you have to have a big serve. Look at the best S&V pros like Edberg, Rafter, Sampras, Becker. They all possess either athleticism or power or both (like Sampras). At rec level, unless you're significantly more athletic or powerful, S&V is suicide.

MEP's game style will only work to a certain level... as soon as he made 6.0 ultimate he got destroyed by former D1 and D2 players

Oh yeah, that's a highlight play right there 11:49

I played major Division 1 college tennis in the 90’s and MEP scares me.

MEP is not aesthetic to the eye (rather looks borderline ugly with the technique and his strokes) at all but he wins!!

MEP com seu jeitão esquisito passando o rodo na galera
