SWAG would be 5.0 but he looks young. He might have trouble winning against 5.0 adults.

Sweet S&V at 1:30. Definitely 5.5. This is just a practice match, so seeing him under the real pressure of a match would make ranking him easier.

We need the true Judge here. Calling LeeD to tell everyone that he is a 3.5, maybe 4.0.

I've seen local norcal 4.5s who would beat him. (But they are really 5.0 liars sand bagging.)

He is clearly 5.0+. At that point, a rating is pretty meaningless. He is no doubt a serious player and for serious players it is all about match wins and eventally ranking points.

6.0+
whoever is saying 5.0 is clearly mistaken. watch a 5.0 play on video and you will see the obvious difference.

3.5 at best!

It would be better to see actual match play. He's going high risk and mostly making it in this video. I'd like to see how he hits during a real match, as I don't think he'd be quite as loose and aggressive in match play. I'm not necessarily against low net clearance, but there's a lot of net skimming going on here.

I thought he looked short, but maybe that other guy is very tall, and then I can read between the lines and see the guy is a junior. Hopefully, he'll grow a little taller. How's he doing in the Junior rankings?

he hit like an younger federer, however he still have much to learn before he plays like the now federer. Imagine playing in a younger federer body but has the skills of a experience federer. HE WOULD BE GOD

Clearly A/Open or 5.5. Both can play Futures and Q's with no problems.
Woodrow, I can see why you are a head judge. You are totally biased and driven by preconceptions.
4.5, they'd breadstick.
7.0's, they get breadsticked by the top 50.

The guy is good no question about it. NTRP ratings are meaningless as he is clearly an open tournament player. Ranking wise who knows unless we can look him up. With that kind of skill who wants to be handicapped with ntrp ratings lol

BTW, a 5.5 can play Q's AT futures, but in main draw, would not have much chance at all.
