I once trained with a guy who's ATP single ranking was 1800 and knowing that you play against these guys on a regular is insane, even winning.

@@olivxxer.7055yea but Felix has been fortunate to be playing hundreds of futures matches being paid for. You will eventually get a point if you play hundreds of matches because you will eventually gain confidence and or a lucky draw. Not that challenging if you have an ounce of talent and work ethic.

Often get tired just watching these rallies. I'd be amazed if I had the aerobic fitness to survive just 2 of them so quite how you're out there for hours! Respect.

The production and flow of the newer videos is actually amazing I love it!

Your progression is incredible Felix, keep pushing every day ❤

First of many!

Let’s goo! Keep grinding Felix and top 1000 is gonna be achieved 💪

enjoying these longer format videos :)

Always a good day when Felix uploads. I love his grindy playstyle, and how he can keep the ball low when approaching the net. He has a super good serve too. Keep it up my brother. 💯🔥💪

Keep at it Felix. You have everything you need; now it's just a matter of experience, finding out about yourself and what works for you. It's a grind, but eventually you'll get to the diamond. We're all behind you man. Cheers! M

amazing performances, it's really interesting and passionating watching you gettin' better and better. level of tennis was absolutely great and I'm looking forward to watching next videos

Let’s gooooo Felix u got this💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Good luck man! Very nice video as usual

Wow what a match! It must be so hard especially with those long points! Even when you lose a match, you learn and improve from them which is a huge part of your growth and part of your journey of becoming top 100 atp! You have managed to play next to Rafa but Who knows.. you might be playing him soon.. Keep grinding!! 💪💪

Good job brother just stay consistent and your on your way to greatness good luck

Woohoo, you got this cant wait to follow along on your journey the rest of 2024 and happy lunar new year 🎉

Felix, I have to say great progression for your backhand. I feel this was something you could improve on, and you are actually doing it. Backhands are deep and you have a great control in the direction, they are becoming a good weapon. Keep pushing. Thanks once again for share your journey with us. VAMOS por mas!!!!!!! 💪

Congratulations🎉🎊 Felix

Sooo happy for u brother 🙌🙌🤜🤛

For those of u who want to know who he is playing doubles with it is Martin Klizan and his career high singles is 24

thank you!

This guy really motivates me and helps me continue to push on in my journey

Your videos are amazing. The fact that you go harder and harder in each video is inspirational to all. Keep up the good work

love this video man! KEEP UP THE GOOD WERK!!

The video quality has improved a lot, and your game too. Looking good Felix 👍

I need to take a page out that last guy's book. He was so rock solid and consistent! That running cross court forehand also was brilliant

Aloha Felix! I watch your videos from time to time. And the amount of growth I’ve seen from you is truly inspiring. I fell out of tennis as I felt I got burnt out way too quick when I was in my juniors and going into private tournaments as a young adult. Tennis is an expensive sport and that can put a toll on you as well and we haven’t gotten to the mental part of tennis. lol. Thank you for allowing us to see your determination and strive throughout your tennis career and journey. It does motivate me to go back out and compete again. If you’re ever out in the Las Vegas area, hit me up 😎🤙.

First great content and playing!!! From what what I've seen it appears your have the tools and fitness to beat these guys and that it's a mental shift. I would think a focus on getting free points from your serve, which is a great serve and sticking to your attacking style no matter what. Deciding ahead of time that your going to attack and come in with no hesitation. Sometimes when we have too many tools to choose from or past close matches over and over, it can cause too much thinking. So, i like the idea of sticking to playing your game no mater what unless, someone is doing your strategy better, and then other tools can be selected. Keep up the great work and be confident!!!!

This video is great, I like the new edits and the background music

Insane level! really impressive!

Would love to see full vdieso on your workout / fitness / recovery routines

Great match! Good luck.

You are really progressing. 🌞👏👏👏

Great effort! Those grinding players are so tough to play. It would be an excellent learning experience.

Great job Felix! Been great to see your improvement, keep it up! Two suggestions for you as an ex pro: 1. I would try to not spend as much time checking opponent's statistics and rankings. I understand it might be for KZread purposes but unless you have a full scouting report on your opponent I personally think it is not really beneficial, just puts an extra doubt in your mind. Every match regardless of the opponent you should have the "upper hand" mindset ("I have outworked this guy, I'm ready") 2. Focus on patterns vs. the outcome. Now, when you go play a match you got the tools in your box- the patterns you've worked on in practice. That will keep your strategy and your style of tennis very clear regardless of the match situation. Execution will get better as the match goes by and long term you'll be able to utilize your weapons way more!

I can visually see your strength, speed and power growing in the past year.

I look forward to the next video since I saw you in a doubles draw with Martin in Koblenz :) I was like WTF WOW!!! Martin Kližan is Slovak like me, same age and I played against him on the tournament when we were 15yo...I have followed him throughout his career and also now in his restart:)

Love the stretching montage!

Keep going!!

wow bro, que increible el nivel de tenis quehas logrado, sigue asi 💪ojala verte en el circuito

Your quality compared to when you first started is huge. The biggest difference is the consistency and especially the depth of your backhand? Congrats on your progress, hope you get to

Taking all these top players to 3 sets is still brilliant. Soon you’ll be winning in 3 and then winning in 2 after that! Keep going mate 💪🏼

Felix, amazing video.Can I please have more content like this?

Great playin'...those pushers are tough!

Praying for you to be in the top 20

You played great Felix, even though you lost good job!

Hardluck mate

Great video and lots of insights!!! 2nd match was definitely a tough one against a grinder, that is the way Medvedev got very successful on tour.

One thing I can't get over is how much your body has transformed in the last year. You're looking incredible!

Yo is that Nico from gladiators tennis? That’s crazy 🎉🎉

Lets go felix!

you only need one thing, to breathe. Introduce one or two passive hit shots into the exchange to catch your breath and focus. You will see that it will change your game a lot. HI!

Kližaaaan. He is trying to get back to tennis. Got too bored at home. Gained a few kilos. Tried to win a local election here. Didn’t work out. Good luck to you both!

"Yes guys just finished my match" is literally what I live for😂

Great work and progress mate. One idea I have is if you add one extra layer of speed variety into your rallies e.g. slice more on BH, and have a slower deep FH shot which you can utilise early in rallies for instance to gain position before you get a ball to crush - benefits: (1) no speed for opponent to use (2) more time for you to choose next shot (3) massive change of pace when you crush the ball makes you unpredictable and throws opponent timing off

yeah i agree

Great stuff! The second round you should of lifted and push high in the last set tiebreaker, really take away power and with his technique he would of struggled to generate off the higher balls and then really wait for the right ball and finish in one shot not aiming to approach.

kudos to still coming in against twan after those passes.

Awesome video. Gave me some pre-season confidence. Your videos are getting better and better! 👍

strange Felix hasn't figured out his best strength is playing attacking tennis and get to the net as much as possible. last match here perfect example, got sucked into grinding away from back of the court, which is not his natural game

stayed up all night to watch jack draper , he came up short but won set 1 through sheer grit

I liked you played serve and volley a lot

The sneak peak of your doubles event, I bet that’s Liam Broady I think that’s his name spelled correctly lol

those breakers are brutal

I'd have a second think about drinking coffee before a game. Yes it can heighten your awareness and improve certain elements of your game, but I find it doesn't help with helping stay calm in pressure moments due to it's activation of the sympathetic nervous system, and therefore increasing your heart rate making you feel a little more anxious. Also coffee can make your shot selection a little poorer. When your heart rate increases circulation to your brain decreases, and judgement can become a little poorer. You are also more likely to fatigue sooner. If you really need the caffeine I'd recommend a green tea which doesn't give you quite as intense boost like coffee.

Is this your first vid with the new editor? 😊

Hey man! Just wanna say you have such effortless athleticism. But as a physician, might I suggest ditching the coffee? It might feel like a boost in the moment, but it’ll drain on you mentally later in the day once you start going through caffeine withdrawal. Anyways good luck to you!

in my opinion you have to be more aggressive in Situations like in the last match. your opponent only play the ball back. I think you play with Struff double

Mini Rafa:3

Tough to play tiebrekers like the second one you played where the other guy just puts the responsibility of taking action on your side. What do you recomend there, what should you have done? Take the responsability and make things happen or outgrind the guy and bait him into some midcourt slices to see if he will try to do something with the ball?

The level you need to be a top pro is insane. First, your technique on every shot needs to be good. That's a huge challenge in itself. Then you need to produce the shots, with good tehnique, on a consistent basis. Then you need to increase the pace bit not sacrificing consistency. Then you need to be quick enough to keep up with the pace. This is why the player ranked 1000 doesn't look much different from the one ranked 100 if you look at the practice session. But over the course of a professional match, the lower ranked one can't keep up and will unravel.

Felix: work on hitting much deeper. Even if it’s slower it will change your game. Deep. Balls landing too short

I have actually played in the Rafa nadal academy twice and came 3rd I a tournament

since when did u change coaches?

Doubles with Martin Klizan? Impressive stuff!

Who am I to tell you this but.. perhaps when you get a grinder like that and you keep exchanging backhand cross maybe you could run around and hit a few forehands.. Like in the very last point.. he really wasn't going to go down the line so maybe it was time to run around your backhand.. just saying. Love the content, as always! Keep it up.. you have a bright future!

Great stuff Felix... Interested that you drink coffee before a game - would have thought you needed to be more relaxed..

Felix, you need to add lead to your racket

I’ve always felt that player who has looser strings are able to control court a lot better. The second opponent had that easy power which I thought was from his looser strings but also allowed him to counter punch in extreme positions. His game was overall a lot looser and calmer than Felix’s. I feel like Felix has a relatively high string tension from the way the ball come out of his racquet and I know it all comes down to person preference, but he may benefit from a looser tension. Just my amateur opinion

The Sinner Fit😏

Do you change to the new Dunlop cx?

At 7:16, hit that 1st ball to his BH. Look how far off the court he is after your serve. Going to his FH just allowed him back into the point and then he worked your BH.

Never try and outpush a pusher 😂 (apparently true at pro level as well as club level)

If you keep training and playing hard, I genuinely think you'll make it to Wimbledon or any of the other grand slams. I'm certainly not a professional tennis player but I really think you could benefit from a bit of variation in play style. Throw off your opponent, change up your play/strategy maybe 3 times during a match. You'll catch them off guard and they'll find it very hard to get into a rhythm. It's usually that rhythm that allows others to win. But congrats on a win nevertheless. Awesome vid!

Did you split from your previous coach?

I sugest you to be very drive hit agressive and Master the net play as much as you can
