What level is the guy in the white shirt?

[5263]

This guy could spot Cali 5.0s 3 games per set and win in straights.
Looks better than those D1 players guys are often posting imo.
Reminds me of the touch and feel of Genepri but with more power than
Robby had at 16.

well that guy is like 13-14 years old. He is really good, I would asume he is like top15 in the nation in his age group or better. he just needs to get taller and stronger than he will be a very good player probably world ranked.

Of course he can now not play in the pros because he is too small but when he is 17-18 and fully grown he likely will be able to do so.

Both guys are so far above my level that I have no idea. Just enjoyed watching the vid. Thanks for posting.

Kinda looks the same level and size of a young donald young when I watched him practice at the 2007 us open. Isnt Donald like a 4.5 by some people's book in this forum? So he must be really a 3.5 am I right?

You guys are ridonkolous! I remember Mark from his playing days on the tour. So that should give you this kids level.

Love the comment about adult 5.0s giving him problems. This kids shot tolerance is thru the roof!

Agree. From my experience, these guys are exceptional ball strokers. If the kid in the white shirt is only 15, then it would seem that he could eventually become an extremely proficient tennis player ... maybe even a regular international tournament player on some level.

EDIT: Who's Mark?

Mark Draper is the other player in the video who is a former pro. I searched up the guy is in the white shirt, hes qualified for a futures tournament before and is top 100 nationally in Australia.

[luishcorreia]

The kid is 15 and is playing international junior tourneys. Made the semi's in Japan this year.

This doesn't matter, obviously norcal 4.5s could beat him.
