You know this probably won’t help but if this guy wants to act like that during an amateur tournament he definitely needed the win more than you. You get to go home after and not be him.

If you slow down to 0.25 and really zoom in, the ball is technically out and it did bounce before he hit it. However, it is still a shitty call because you should give you opponent the benefit of the doubt and in the moment there is no way you can say for sure that ball is out or that it didn't contact your racquet before bouncing.

I’m a college coach and see this kind of player all the time. Not sure what the USTA rules are now but I guess if you called a ref over, why didn’t that ref stay for the entire match? Obviously the cheater will make good line calls when there is a ref present but once the ref leaves he’ll go back to bad calls. But I have to be honest I only saw maybe one questionable line call and that was at 5-4 30-30, but you went up 6-5 in that set , we didn’t get to see the other bad call in the breaker, but 1 or 2 bad calls doesn’t lose you the match. You have to be better mentally to block that out and block out your opponents actions during the match or your letting him get the best of you. And that’s what happened here, he got in your head, and you let him distract you that why you lost, not because of a bad line call. Sorry this happened but it happens all the time and I teach my guys to block it out and be tougher mentally, and use the proper channels of calling over a ref and have him ref the whole match!!!! Good luck next time.

Couldn't disagree more with your take. What needs to happen is coaches having integrity and benching/suspending their own players when they know they are blatantly cheating. College tennis has an epidemic of cheating so much so they had to change the let rule because of all the cheating. What needs to happen is severe consequences for known cheaters to the point of being banned the fact a rule had to be changed tells you everything you need to know about the blatant cheating.

And there are Coaches out there, me included, who discipline their players when it is blatant.

Not everyone does have that honor, and it’s a shame, and wish there was a better way to police it. Div 1 and 2 have line judges and an official, often D3 does not. But in this young man’s instance there was no official on court 100% of the time, so as a player the only thing you can do is request the official stay on court and if they don’t there is nothing you can do but control your own emotions and not let it get the better of you and simply beat the other guy by playing better tennis and keeping the ball inside the lines!!!!

The angle from which you view the line call makes a huge difference.

well, in the first game, i was watching the play and thought you had won the game. then at 5-4 30-30, he called a no-no-no-no off his backhand wing - well the ball hit his racket in front of the baseline - you can see this clearly.

You are good person Andrew, I would have called a line judge immediately! I have ran into a few of these types in my life time and when I was younger I have gotten into fights with guys like this, especially in doubles where they go after my partner with vicious shots! You did a great job dealing with this guy! New subscriber here my dude!

I was a top 20 ranked 4.5 and 5.0 player in southern California back in 2008-2013 and I can't remember how many times I ran into 'cheaters' and horrible line callers. It was an adventure to say the least. Some of the matches got very heated and whenever I ran into a guy like Nick I never hesitated to call a line judge. Anyways, you have a solid game, good luck in your future matches.

Yeah he needs to yell on UEs to win...

My biggest piece of advice as a coach is number 1 -> hit the balls in with less chance for bad calls (don’t aim for the lines). 2 -> don’t let 1 or 2 bad calls dictate the entire match. Mental fortitude is very very important in our sport!!!

You’re bigger than me, I’m fighting this guy😂

Nonetheless awesome video and really exciting tennis playing to watch. Both of you played incredibly well, and athletically

Can we find a way to get Nick to see this comments section

You earned my sub. You won the match with your integrity and sportsmanship. Nice kick serve btw. Fellow 4.0- looking to move into 4.5 next year I think I need to work on the kick this summer.

Player to player, it is frustrating when guys call the lines out. Unfortunately, players are going to do it sometimes. Probably should have just gotten a ref if they were available. Against guys who are going to be calling the lines out, either you have to GRIND until they make mistakes .... or you need to rush the net and put pressure on them to force passing shots .... or try to use the drop shot and bring them into the net so you can lob or pass. Just some tips, I know it is hard when guys are stealing points but sometimes all you can do is lock in and force them into making mistakes.

Dealing with cheaters is really tough mentally. I am impressed with your reflection on this match and what you could've done differently; calling over the lines person, and not giving into his reactions or talking smack back, which is all good stuff. There is one trick to deal with cheaters that will absolutely make them blow up mentally. At 5-4 30-30 that call was so blatantly bad, in this situation I would have changed the score and reverted back to 30-30 as that was the last score that was agreed upon. This tactic is a good way to throw them off mentally and I am sure that Nick would have thrown a fit and gotten the lines person involved. You would just have to stand your ground on the score change. Hope this helps!

I’ve never been in this situation before but I’ve been told to hook back blatantly on the next call or decisive point. Regardless looking fantastic!

I'd be embarrassed to act the way he did and he did it knowing he was on tape

Hey man u played fantastic. When you get opponents like then it ruins the experience but I think that you played very fairly and responded appropriately to his snark comments. When he started screaming after every point, it just became a clown show but u stayed composed. Good job and keep building that tennis mentality.

I appreciate you posting a video like this. we all have matches where dudes get into it. I don't think I have seen one like this on YT before, and it's informative. 1. That is a bad call (and an important one in that set)...you have two set points if the ball is correctly called in. Hindsight is 20/20 of course. Those calls on the baseline that are under your nose can be tricky because you don't have the depth perception someone on the base line would have. I'm convinced the great majority of line-call disagreements are because of that. He should have at least offered to replay the point for fairness sake, and he shouldn't be dismissive about being called out for it, but seems like that is asking too much for Nick in this match. (oh and if you pause at 1:03 you can see the ball in too) 2. I'm actually not bothered by the celebrating early on, but as the match goes on it becomes clear these are just as much celebrations as they are taunts, and the intent becomes clear. Specifically, in the second set we see him shouting across the net directly at you...that is poor (for example, I could give him more benefit of the doubt if he's behind the baseline facing the wall), but that wasn't what I saw. I saw him at least once shouting directly at you. In a professional setting, I'm not sure what a chair umpire would likely do in that circumstance. I do know Nick is at risk for hinderance because he is so quick to celebrate - if he is celebrating before the point is officially over, that is technically a hinderance - and I wish the ref that was called out would have clarified that to Nick - it would have helped to gain control of this match. I'm OK with on-court celebrations, fist pumps and the like, the "c'mons" the "lets go, fine. But this crossed the line. On one end, you can't expect athletes to be silent in moments of frustration or joy...but the other end of that is using the celebration to taunt, get in the head of the opponent, it's the latter that crosses a line, and I'm convinced it's the latter we see from Nick as the match goes on. 3. I think every human being can understand why you didn't shake hands at the end, but I think if you could go back, shaking hands is the best thing to do - even though things got so heated. You may not respect him, but if you shake hands he likely respects YOU. When players don't shake hands, it just continues to escalate the situation. Funny enough, one of the last things we hear is a guy on the other court celebrating. Hope he and Nick played each other the next round! :) Do you have a link to the bracket? What befell Nick in the next rounds?

That call at 6:55 was a bs call. The ball hit right inside the line and that dudes racket was right behind the damn line when he hit the ball. Best of luck in your future tournaments Andrew. New subscriber.

his yelling every time you made an UF (especially when you shanked one onto court 5) was even worse than his line calls

I recently played a tournament, I was 5-1 in the first set. Then my opponent started shouting and celebrating when I made a mistake. It got to me and I lost the match. I hate when players are loud for no reason. It’s not like we are playing a grand slam. We are just recreational players. We want to play for fun, not for ego pump.

HOW DO YOU ADD THE SCOREBOARD TO THE VIDEO?

Most of his serves were foot faults.

To be honest, his line calls weren't too bad. When I played any rec tournaments, I expected anything touching the lines could be called out. You'd be surprised some of the nicest people outside of the court would be calling balls out left and right when they competed. I played a friendly company tournament against a co-worker, a very nice guy, but on the court, he's worse than Nick here. At first, I didn't know, but when he started to call balls that didn't even touch the line out, I knew I was dealing with something very unusual. The only way to play then would be to make sure my shots landed no less than about a foot from the line. To do that, I had to mentally visualize that the court is smaller than it actually is and had to be more patient because points would be longer. I ended up still losing that match because it wasn't easy to adjust mentally like that, since his bad calls started near the end of the match when things were close, but I was leading. It was a friendly tournament, so it was just one 8 game pro set, but if I had played him another set and prepared mentally from the beginning, I think I could win.

"Who won the second set?" Sounds like someone is admitting something about the first set

I hate when people cheer obnoxiously(especially when they got lucky). The most annoying thing ever. Tennis is a gentlemens sport.

As well as u move u should work on a bigger flat forehand.

Conduct like that, then comes over to shake your hand and calls you salty for not accepting it. Please…

It gets better. Don't let jerks like that one distract you from playing your best.

Lol these guys hate when you match their energy.

Saw this a lot through my high school and college days. In fact in high school I got in a fight with a guy on the court next to mine because I saw many bad calls he was making against my teammate. I learned to call these idiots out whenever they make a bad call but not to be the aggressor just let them know you know they are making bad calls then go kick their ass by winning legitimately!

Hi! I really understand your frustrations first of all! Several line calls were really questionable, especially the hard return of the serve in the first set. Seems like the dude really took his chances on the other side away from the camera to make calls his way. And I understand it most have been painful to watch afterwards. Regarding your game, you have a good serve and good forehand and backhand from the baseline. Volley and touch and drop shots seems good. However, you need to develop your backhand so you can go down the line from the time to time. I could not find a single time you did so during this match. This guy does not seem so fast, athletic and strong mover but I can be wrong. But most of all, your forehand in no mans land needs to be improved. If your opponent make a short ball he should be punished. Seems like you are letting the ball drop almost to your shoes instead of taking it earlier. Some of those short balls should have been put hard in the corners for either a winner or an easy volley on the next shoot. Instead you looped a lot of those short balls long. You were simple not able to punish your opponent that much inside the baseline during this match is my analyze. Seems like he was also successful in rushing you at critical times by approaching the net. I hope you take my criticism and feedback in a good way. Play more tennis and make sure to win against this guy next time!

You didn't lose because of bad line calls, you lost because you let really close line calls and your opponent being a douche affect your mental state and you weren't consistent enough. As with many people who whinge about line calls, most of the ones you thought were in were actually out. I'll grant the one as 655 was close and I can't tell. If you frame by frame it, he appears to be reaching behind his foot (which is behind the line) with his racquet, picking it up off the bounce. You can't see exactly where it bounces. The way he hits it he didn't volley it, he picked it up immediately off the bounce. A non-douche player would've given you the point but my god, did you not play juniors? I don't think I got a ball that hit the line called in for 6 years and I definitely didn't get a ball that hit the outside of the line called in. The guy is a jerk but the balls are close enough to call out, you gotta shake that off and keep playing.

I find line calling in USTA tournaments far worse than in league play. Tournaments charge way more than leagues and people don’t want to pay $50 for a tournament and lose in the first round. Also, in league play, players are local and know each other, you don’t want to get a rep as a cheater or jerk on the court. Tournaments are filled with random players from different areas, and I often run into some guy I don’t know who is clearly trying to play mental games. In one match, my opponent kept hitting the ball away from me after the point was over when I was serving, which meant I had to walk to get the ball for the next point when he could’ve easily given it to me. I asked him on a changeover if he wouldn’t mind hitting or throwing the ball to me after a point as I was doing for him on his serve, but he ignored me. I suppose I could’ve called a ref to complain, but that’s not my nature, and I don’t know if there’s a specific rule on that. I won the match so it worked out in the end, but it’s never fun to play a guy who has no sense of sportsmanship. The yelling on your errors shows this guy is really self-absorbed and classless.

I feel your pain. It's very hard to stay focused and not get rattled with bad line calls. It adds so much more pressure when any shot that lands close to the line will most likely be called out. I totally agree wih the last comment because I'm very guilty as well of letting bad calls get under my skin. We just need to remember that at the end of the day we're just playing for fun and excercise. We should be grateful that we can play this awesome sport. I'm all for getting fired up when big points are on the line but to do it after every point is annoying. And clearly doing it to mess with his opponent is not cool and shows poor sportsmanship.

This is 5.0 tennis? just getting back into tennis after playing in the late 70's early 80's and this seem much lower.

Honestly just be happy you aren’t toxic like this guy. You walked away a better man.

You should show the guy this video. This makes me so mad.

Played a tourney and the butthead guy would know when a ball was going to sail past his baseline. He had the nerve to quickly turn around and motion with his arm for the ball to go long while yelling, "Get out of here!" Very annoying when some jerk has to do this for nearly every ball that went long!

“You can get a ref if you want” to parent a grown man that can’t take losing and is scared to try and win without hooking opponents. Been there and played countless players like this. I don’t think usta is the answer for events in any format.

At 7:00 minutes Nick hit a ball that didn’t even bounce yet, and called it out as he was literally standing a foot inside the court! You are a lot nicer than I would have been my dude!

You're a better player than him technically. You lost only bc you got upset, it happens. Yelling and pumping himself up after your errors is a dick move.

From the far side is hard to tell, but when he was on the closest side most of the ball he called out were out. At 7:35 ish you make a big deal but the ball was a couple inches out, he stopped it with his racket at 1/2 inches outside of the baseline before let it touch the ground.

I thought your intro was too harsh, but then this 6:51 happened. Rewatched it on slow motion. Yikes!

You get one clearly bad call, the second one brings out an umpire.

A line judge will only overrule bad calls correct? I don’t think they will call balls out that you have played? This has been my / observation. It’s tough and a huge mental distraction, definitely feels one sided when out there.

Nick reminds y I stop playing usta matches when I was a jr…..

You were playing some good tennis. That guy couldn't volley for shit whenever he came in you could have hit the ball right at him

Yeah. No offense to the guy making the video, but this is NOT 5.0 tennis. It's more like 4.0. Almost no winners and a zillion sloppy errors. I've seen real 5.0 players back in the day, and they were light years better than what I'm seeing here.

@@fred718 competitive 5.0 tennis is legit.

That's a 5.0 tournament? Not sure where these guys are located, but this is 4.0 level play where I live. Both backhands are 3.5 level. Inability to even attempt topspin forehands on any ball at their knees or lower (so many slice forehands). Net play was 3.0 level. Nick was kind of an a-hole and the narrator had resolved to losing at the first bad line call. As soon as Nick recognized what a crybaby the narrator was, he really ratcheted up his mouth. Both players' mentality is 1.0 toddler level.

So in your area, USTA 4.0s have a 8 UTR? Be so for real right now.
