You guys were hitting some big serves there. The spin and action you guys were getting was hugely impressive. And Felix's serve has beefed up a lot this year. His first serve must be in the 110mph to 115+mph range now. Great video guys👍

I recently saw video which had "never double fault ever again" in its title. This is certainly more real. Lots of misses. I'd like to see four foot squares in a 1,2,3 where they have to call out the square they'll hit, or better yet, specific sequences. Hits = 1 point, misses = -1. Play to 20.

This competitive game aught to be made apart of every major tourney. Perhaps a 10k ,( or some such ) , first prize could be payed out to the winner. Great fun.

Some really good movement on the early serves guys! Really every second or third Serve should hit a cone! Long way to go, but liking the slice technique. As for the Kick Serve well it’s a different action & not at the same level as your slice! Anyway! I like your Coach- Pupil dynamic, so you are in good Hands 🙌 If you want to Make it on the ATP tour you’ll need to develop an edge, something that is serious. As a Brit it is tougher to harness that compared to some other Countries where life could be tougher growing up, however it can be done. Wish you all the Best

Will you do a video on how to do the slice serve? Both of you have some absolutely nasty curve on them even from that 12 o'clockish toss. Would love to see your swing thoughts and pointers.

No, you are wrong there. He needs more matchplay, tactics and point construction with more volleys and agressive game. Div 3 college tennis is not even comparable to his level. Everyone struggles on clay, his game is more fast-court orientated. Those serves were high level, i have seen, recieved and served a few in my day.

Felix has already won ATP doubles points and has held his own in practice sets against top 100 singles players. He absolutely has the skill and talent to compete in Futures and Challenger events, he just needs to build consistency and to hone his weapons.

@@LunarEclipsism1 Andres Gomez were at the semis when he was 30, and that age was considered old in the 80-90 ties. Never say never. Nowadays the fittnes level is superb from the players. Its a mind-game also..who wants it most and who can handle rejections and bad matches mentaly. Its building your own game strategy, based on meeting many opponents playing differently. Taking their weaknesses and putting that into play, when the next same opponent, or same style of player comes along. Felix first serve down the line / slice is superb. A good base for point construction.
