Surely 5.0? Maybe extremely weak 5.0 and strong 4.5?

Their technique looks pretty bad for 5.0 and the serve looks like nothing special, not that fast nor well placed. The groundstrokes are the only shots that look good and really 5.0, from what ive seen from other 5.0 videos on youtube.

@nytennisaddict how do you reckon you would do against these guys?

Everyone's so obsessed with numbers around here, it's like women and weight scales. And I think you're missing their great movement, shot placement and extended rallying.

Speaking of which how are you going to get to 5.0 if there's no rating system in Slovenia?

Il try to explain this again, my goal is to play at that level (UTR 10-11), my coach has a ton of juniors with official ratings so im sure I will know where I stand, don't need a rating to tell me that, its not the rating thats my goal, its the level of tennis thats my goal.

Between those and your signature's multiple penis references, I'm guessing you are a real party starter. Got any opinions on race you'd like to share?

Damn the 5.0 guy really went serious lol..

I find that pretty odd, usually i dont play 100% against such weaker players and crush them and their soul lol.

He could have held his shots bavk a bit and made it a bit more fun for the other guy.

If it was on video I'm sure you would! Wouldn't want a smart arse 3.5 walking around saying he took 8 games off you!

I actually think the 3.5 was ok in a lot of points but not enough to string 4 straight points together more than once.

Great angle from behind (first 4 minutes)

Damn some of those serves and groundstrokes look so heavy, after the bounce it takes like 0.1 second for them to jump to your contact point

I wonder if any player that doesn't play on the highest level like UTR12+ could ever get used to these heavy strokes if playing against them constantly and be able to not only return them but actually play decently against them, or if its not possible unless you are very talented and play your whole life and are UTR 12+

I wonder if any player that doesn't play on the highest level like UTR12+ could ever get used to eavy strokes if playing against them constantly and be able to not only return them but actually play decently against them, or if its not possible unless you are very talented and play your whole life and are UTR 12+

Guys, I remember a video of Thiem serving with his feet square to the baseline like an open stance forehand, it was practice and they were slow spinny serves.

Am I making this up? Anybody have a link?

Yes, I race to defend those that are the most defenseless from being assaulted. (and butchered, mutilated)

Be it a Dr performing a complete foreskin-ectomy (damn sure ain't a 'circumcision') on an hours old newborn, and then
injecting them with toxic unproven medical science concoctions called vaccines. (a whole boatload of them, nowadays)

And I race to question the almighty 'globe theory', whose adherents bristly at the inquiry. (b/c bendy water doesn't exist)

As for women ,,,, I guess there's no accounting for taste. (me, I know better)

I think that was likely the intent of the video, a legit 5.0 v 3.5 and the honest outcome. Kind of a reality check for 3.5 players. I thought the 3.5 had a decent serve, 5.0 not troubled at all.
