Querrey is 6'6" whereas DY is only 5'9" (though he's only 17 and can possibly add 2-3" to his height). Querrey has a massive serve aided by his height, DY otoh has no great stand-out weapon yet. At 5'9" he can beat guys at the challenger level but to extend that to ATP would be far fetched unless DY develops some weapons in his game.
It was good to see DY win though.
Ya know, he looked pretty good there to me. Loved how much he was coming into the net, and most of the placement was pretty good. I can easily see him having a Feliciano-Lopez type career at least. He's obviously got the competitiveness there, so that will help.
If you enter and play any of these guys, you will not even win one single point thru the entire match. You will not even win one point in the Warmup. YOu can have them wear a eyepatch in one eye and even then you will not win one single point.
dude why don't you shut the **** up, I guarantee that I can win a point. I played in nationals events as a young teenager, and I know what it takes. stop talking **** dude. you are probably a 15 year old, hide behind that computer and talk ****. You wouldn't say that **** to my face
What grip do you have to use to return hard serves? Western?
so you played the nationals events... so what? You lost 0,1 against a guy who has "better" volleys than sampras, edberg, and mcenroe. Uh huh. You are insulting the pros saying you can hang with them when you have a score as mentioned above against a non pro. I'm not saying you're not a good player, but you sure sound arrogant. Btw you shouldn't just attack that poster, 2-3 other posters laughed when you asked how to enter these tournaments. And no offense, but if you have to ask, I'm lead to believe you're not good enough to enter, sorry.
Sounds he was talking about Rajeev Ram, who is no where close to Sampras, Edberg, etc.. in fact he is maybe Top 300, playing in Joplin Challenger as the #8 seed.
Great image quality. Nice.
Young loses in the second round to Jesse Witten. 7-6, 6-3.
Well he did better than last weeks Challenger.
Well, what do you know. Close first set and the ole "well I lost the first set and screw this match" in the second set.
Hard to say he tanked it in the second set without actually being there watching. Maybe Witten lifted his game and Young could not respond.
Well, what do you know. Close first set and the ole "well I lost the first set and screw this match" in the second set.
Uh have you watched a pro match... oh in the last 5-10 years?
I guess you don't understand modern technique. If people were not winning with it, modern technique would not have evolved in the first place.
Kinda like the 6-7, 6-4, 7-6 win he had in the last rd of qualies???? He lost a close 1st set there, he came back to win. Why dont you give the guy he played some credit, he is a top 200 player.
Granted, Young does not look like the embodiment of the consummate athlete, but neither did the pigeon toed Agassi or the twiglike Michael Stich. Ok, one developed power early and the other had height, but Young does pack some punch(although not enough yet) and he is 5' 11" with possibly more to come. The kid has talent and great hands. He still has the body of a boy, yet even with his slight frame he can still hang with grown men. When he fills out a bit, his tennis will leap, if he continues to work hard. Also, he has to improve mentally. He may not take the baton from Federer regarding all things tennis and improve on them, as you had hoped, but he will do well in his own unique way, although he does play all court tennis. I personally see a lot of potential. He has that intangible mercurial quality that is indicative of uncommon talent. We've seen better athletes at his age, but his body is not done developing. Even so, it still may not develop into anything to write home about, but his hands may compensate for that.Rios had a better physical unit than Young does. And even though his unit was better, he had to work so hard to win(yet tried to make it look like nothing) that he would end up being exhausted and would subsequently tank. To be small like Young, weak and not particuarly fast, is DRAINING. The kid has hand and racquet talent, and that appears to me, to be the extent of it. RESULT FROM BJORN99? Journeyman at best.
