Great plays. Winston it seems your shots are all pretty random and don't really have a purpose other than getting it back middle and deep. Looked like you have plenty of chances to go inside in and could've taken the points easily. I think have a coach drill you on point setup shots would be a great next step in your tennis journey. Excited to see more matches on the channel.

@@WinstonDu hope you've grown out of the backhand strategy, you mention it a lot in your videos, but it generally doesn't work since the backhand is not a weak point for most players, a lot people prefer it since it's easier to stabilize and control your power, as opposed to forehands.. did someone tell you to adapt that strategy ?

@@BrianErwin It’s a good for lower level players like me (3.5). One of the strategies when rallying is to try to line up my forehand against my opponent’s backhand. But yeah, as soon as I move up to play a legit 4.0 player and above, their backhand is not any weaker than forehand and so that strategy generally doesn’t work.

10:26 when you spill the food out of your frying pan 🍳

I love the new camera angle Winston. You can really see the pace of the ball. The down facing angle that most youtubers use makes the ball look slower in my opinion. Lotti and those forehands are the pinnacle of beauty.

4:34 !!!!! Sheeshhhh!

That was a slick volley by Lotti at 4:34

Lol the end was pretty great. Yall are pretty funny 🤣 if I'm ever in the Irvine area I'll definitely look into signing up to play one of yall! Love the collab and welcome back Lotti! You're definitely a fun favorite on Winston's channel! Winston you're definitely following through better and hitting through the ball! Keep at it friend 💪

Don’t take this the wrong way but it’s so interesting to me to see the accuracy of some of the calls we make in the heat of the moment out on the court. Great vid and well played by lotti

Gotta say the underhand serve actually worked pretty well to disrupt the flow! Great set!

Glad you managed to reach your goal of 20k subscribers. Love your videos, as an amateur tennis player it is great to see them. The only thing that would it make them better would be understanding the levels of each player, I don't really now the meaning of USTA 4.5 or 5.0, and the same for other words you used in your videos. Can you make a video explaining them? Or have you done it already and I missed it? Congrats for the quality of your videos! Best regards from Brazil!

Good game by both of you!!! Lotti got complacent towards the end of the set and Winston wisely step up his game.

S+V on set point 5 - so good Winston, love it

Great set. Lotti's footwork and anticipation are such she's seems to be playing downhill all the time. Clean powerful striker on both wings. Impressive. Nice playing as well Winston. You certainly play some tough competition.

Nice! What a way to end an intense set though haha

WOW! She's a fantastic player!

thats some really good playing i just moved up to a UTR 5 last week

Hey Winston loved the vid keep it up. And I think I’m first comment maybe also I hope you get 10k!!!!

Man u hooked that point at 14:24. Great content tho👍🏽

Very solid stroke mate. Just a small observation, your ready position seems to be too close to the baseline in relative to your normal hitting position. You tend to step backwards for majority of the ground strokes,return to the middle by moving forward,only to step backwards again for the next shot. A better approach is to return to the middle but further away from the baseline to get ready, and step forward for every shot.

Also you lose power on your forehand from jumping off your feet and rotating your body as you it. Try keeping right foot on ground longer and push off of it, keeping your upper body forward. You will have much more power and stability!

I noticed the same thing. He seem to be always on the defensive. 🤔

Lotti 😍

At 10:30, Lotti shrieked. So adorable! :) I think Winston is more preoccupied with how he hits the shots vs. where he should place the shots. Most of his returns go to the center of the court I feel. He doesn't try to go for extreme angles or rip the ball down the line. Maybe it's the limit of his level but nonetheless, it was a good game. Lotti could have closed out the game at 5-1 but she seemed to lose focus and let Winston come back. Lotti is clearly the better player here.

Great match, as always Winson. And Lotti was on-point with just that bit of drop. You let him off the book a bit Lotti, but finished up well. Really enjoyed watching both of you play, and very cool to promote the paid UTR hits. Most the players from your group would be a good value for us lower and at level players. Cheers and all the best.

Great demonstration of class difference....Lotti has so much more aggression, intent and racquet head speed. 6-4 is a great result for Winston

I like how you hit the ball in the 2nd half of the set. You almost came back.

3:46 a late split step and she still recovers and hits a scorching return winner, insane

Compared to the first set you guys played, Lotti played WAY better today. She was like a different person, at least for the first 5 games of this set.

that volley at 4:34 was beautiful

lotti is the lotto of the channel

How heavy is your racket, winston?

I was rooting for Lotti to close you out early, but the 7 set points kept me watching! 😅

Looks like she was "lotti" too handle for you 🤣 great set by both players and way to keep fighting and keeping yourself in the points. Momentum could've easily shifted but Lotti stayed mentally strong and kept playing her game

fun match. good rallies. Lotti is pretty dangerous from inside the baseline. She's figured out your high balls bro. and if you give her another underhand serve, she'll probably have a good answer for that too haha.

Well done mate! One thing I noticed is that you hit the ball too central... I'm guilty of this as well lol

Winston, if you work on where you want to move your opponent with your shot, that would help. Also add a slice to your game, to mix things up and take some of the velocity off of her returns to you.

I would have liked to hear more of her perspective at the end of the set. There was a big dropoff from her first set point- I wondered if she might have slightly injured herself? Lots of games went to deuce which made for an interesting match.

@@WinstonDu apologies it was clearly out when I looked at it from a laptop. On my phone it looked in.

Very high level hitting, nice comeback Winston, she's fierce. Is it just me, or does Lotti spank forehands with more wrist action than normal? Kind of an inside-out rollover, unusual at that level of play, but it seems to work for her.

Hopefully this comes across as observation and not insult. Lotti (I’m assuming Charlotte, my oldest is a Charlotte!) has some amazing footwork and I think she was on her toes and swinging freely in the first 6 games. Once there was a dip in footwork, I think there was a dip in her attack level and her ball placement/accuracy suffered a bit. I’d say she just got a little gassed and some of the adrenaline wore off. (FYI Lotti and Du would both school me in a match). I think Winston settled in a bit more (of course it was hard early on as Lotti was dictating from the jump). I think the longer the match the more it would favor Winston and his strength and stamina. I have a few high school girl players I’d absolutely show this match to and show what great footwork and preparing for the ball look like. Keep up the good work!! Fun match to watch!

What blade is Lotti using?

Lotti played like Girl On Fire for the first 7 games, then fell apart. Fun to watch set.

Lotti has a monster forehand!

Any chance getting Lotti to play Karue?

what is her string ?

haircut looks good!

CHOKED!!!

Awesome set! Would love to hear lotti's analysis as well :)

Lotti was on fire. I think she should hit the Ball a tiny bit earlier. Love to see Lotti play.

Winston, if you want to beat better players, you have to be more aggressive. You hit 90% of balls down the center and you rarely approach the net

Winston, you have a pretty good first serve when you go after it. Just wondering why you don't do that more? Because it looked like it set you up for some good + 1 shots if Lotti could get it back in the court at all.

@@WinstonDu I do completely get that, and I don't disagree with your thinking. My only real suggestion there is that if you keep hitting second serves, you will get very good at hitting second serves, right? In the same way, if you hit first serves, you get better at them. But the flip side is also true; if you rarely hit first serves, and then decide "now I'm going to go for one", then it's like trying to do something rare; the percentage chances go down, because you rarely do it. If you hit the shot many times, then your chances of getting it in when you need it are higher. I just tell my players, use the shots you hit regularly, because those are the ones your muscle memory knows and trusts. Hope this helps, and please keep up the great content on your journey!

3:30 BEEB BEEB !

Good set, she moved a lot better than you and the backhand is a big weakness. Things like recovering from your serve since you're not serving big enough to consistently threaten her, she gets you off balance on that return. Felt like you were getting good results from deep forehands earlier in the set like in game one and then as you mentioned, they started getting shorter.

Decent showing Winston. Noticed u have no loop on your BH. Have u ever considered adding one to your swing? I think it is the missing link that will supercharge your BH. It will help with all aspects: spin, power, rhythm and consistency. Against Lotti it will allow u to handle her pace consistently and hit the ball back deeper and with more bite. From the video i saw she has a very pronounced loop on her BH and it helped her counter your heavy FHs well. My coach just added a loop to my one hander and it is night and day now, especially on faster balls. Way easier to time and get more lift over net and spin. Rarely hit any balls into net now. Maybe Lotti can even give u some pointers ....

Did anyone see a drop shot, lob or volley. I saw Winston come in on a floater, I think he hit a volley on it.

with a strong body, I think you should add more power on your serve.

Hm we don’t have paid hits yet my area, anyone have any reviews? It’s not coaching, right? Nice match. Don’t feel bad bout losing recently.

This sounds ubsurd you would play to hit with another player, coaching but paying for some rallies and matches, don’t do that, there’s plenty of 5.0+ players that want to play without charge.

Winston you need to step into the ball and be more aggressive. That would help your game immensely

racquet is upside-down during butts - up

Hey Winston, this is the second video of yours I've seen. Hope you don't mind me giving some unsolicited advice. First, your feet. I feel like you need to work more on your foot work, Lotti caught you flat footed a couple of times because you stopped moving to observe. As a result you tend to back step a lot while hitting the ball. Putting you on the defensive more than you should be as you are robbing yourself of time. Also you need to step into the shot instead of just turning to receive it. Prime examples of this are at 6:47 and 8:40. You had the time to line up and step into it, but out of habit you set up too soon. Remember it's about kinetic linking. Your legs give a lot of power and control to your strokes as well. It's not just the upper body. You can also learn a lot from Lotti, watch her foot work, as she takes many small steps to set up, and steps into her shots. I would also advise you to also start turning your shoulders more. Lotti's pretty good at it and she disguises a lot of her shots that way. A great example is at 6:43 where she actually does fool you as to where she's going to place the ball. We all learn from both our victories and defeats, hopefully you're learning from winning these days.

his toss peaks at 2 o'clock when it should be like 12 o'clock then hes off to one side more than he wanted to be

lotti is so strong

I like Lotti. She is good player.

Good match. The under hand serves are tacky. She hits with weight forward. Guy hits with weight back.

She has a UTR 5? Seems more!!

She hits the ground strokes better so if you intentionally force to come to the net more often you could have won the match. Love the game though.

Guy on the other court stopped to watch hoping you’d get recked by her serves at the end

You should upgrade ur footstep. Great game!

She won using the "WTA style" forehand that all the online instructors are telling us not to use. Maybe it's not so bad after all?

I think you should spend some time improving your serve. it's too weak so you won't have any advantage at all.

LOTTI LOTTI SHE LIKES TO PARTY! YOU ARE MY SHERO

she killed you on your backhand

4.5 man should beat a 5.0 girl 8 out of 10 times just being honest. All you need to do is add the drop shot and it's over.

You'd put yourself in a better position if you would split step better instead of just trying to anticipate where she is going to go next. That got her a lot of easy and free points here. Look at your weight transfer as well. It looks like you're moving backwards or sideways a lot more than forward through contact. That will help with the depth.

This 2 dont know about changing pace, dropshot, slices, volley, they Just hit back and forth, and they are 5, and 4,5 level ?

Lotti can serve at me as many times she want ❤️

No way he's a 4.5.
