[gepallen]

Soon I will post a new video playing, stay tuned :)

[maorichico]

Well I'm doing your mom, she says hi. Well, you're gay so try curling and stay in bloody Sweden mate.

[gepallen]

@maorichico Yeah, you must have a great fucking life commenting like this on youtube-videos. Wtf haha, so embarrassing to post such a comment when I think about it. So, go fuck yourself and probably the other guys that commented here agree with me.

[slatz20]

3.5

[terryuy276b]

smooth smooth smooth, very nice strokes

[gepallen]

@terryuy276b Thanks!

[HybridTheorygfx]

Damn I love the sound of your racquet, the acoustics in that place makes the pop sound so good

[gepallen]

@HybridTheorygfx Yeah it really sounds great :)

[SkibaSkuter]

footwork, footwork, footwork

[gepallen]

@SkibaSkuter Yeah haha

[goldenshark1001]

Damn man you have a nice forehand! Good luck in your college search...

[gepallen]

@goldenshark1001 Oh that was a long time ago, but you never know, will post new video soon :)

[AUstraliaSUKS1]

bro what strings do you use?

[gepallen]

@AUstraliaSUKS1 Here it is Rencon I believe.

[davidmario]

foot fault =P

did u get a full ride scholarship?

[gepallen]

@davidmario Nah never actually applied in first place, but no offers at all :(

[kkct7]

Decent looking strokes. Footwork and athleticism not great,

[TheThomasGComedy]

Talented????

[gepallen]

@TheThomasGComedy Thanks! :)

[iheartswedes]

Good job! You are a awesome player =]

[gepallen]

@iheartswedes Well thanks!

Please check me out,I'm good :)

And I would appreciate a comment.THANKS A LOT!:)

[UncleTony007]

Furthermore, I know that you play in an inside court, but most of the varsity games are played outside... You need to add more spin to your shots... Inside you can play like that but outside with the sun, the wind, a slower surface, you will do plenty of faults and you will have to opt for a more patient strategy...

[gepallen]

@UncleTony007 That is true, thanks for the comment, please let me know if theres anything more i can do better :)

[UncleTony007]

You're far too tensed up, man (looking at your serve it's obvious, you seem like a robot)... To put strength holding the racket is not the best way to make the ball go faster... Be relax... Your racket has to act like a whip on the ball. It's only a question of rhythm and relaxation. The only thing you can do being so tensed is actually to loose speed and precision. Just try to add fluidity in your shots and you will be impressed by the results.

[t88boost]

if u played nadal best of 3 sets, how many points u think ull score?

[gepallen]

@t88boost None.... ;(

[dunnteen100]

He also foot faults a lot

[gepallen]

@dunnteen100 Lucky I don't play with chair umpires ;)

[dunnteen100]

At least half the balls he hits when its only on him are going out hahahah

[gepallen]

@dunnteen100 Didn't actually miss a shot there but obviously a great guess from your side. Good luck commenting in the future.

[hormigoatomico1]

Check out "Ignacio Llorente College Tennis Recruiting Video"!! :)

[geassed45]

Jeez, how fast are your serves? And have you got any videos of you in a match? Think that might have helped.

[gepallen]

@geassed45 Yeah I believe you're right.. I think probably around 210-220 km/h. Never really checked it though.

[xXNEOTROCITYXx]

4:20 farted a long one

[redviolin1231]

question, what are the main muscle groups that you train for those massive forehands? I have the same technique, im 16 but i get not even half the power of yours :O any tips would be great! thanks

[ASWEDFGH]

I would say shoulder-rotations and also to train your forearms.

[gepallen]

@ASWEDFGH Will consider that, thanks!

[gepallen]

@redviolin1231 Hi man, sorry for replying so late. I don't really know, i think theres a lot about the core muscles and also legs. But the thing is i am not really strong in these particular areas of my body. At an early age i tried focusing on hitting hard and going for my shots. I think that helped me a lot improving my offensive game and the result was that i actually hit the ball harder.

Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment!

[antoniochoi987]

I don't get why people are saying stuff about the foot faults.

I mean, he won't do that in a real match.

[gepallen]

@antoniochoi987 thats true :)

[papergunmaster123654]

Foot Work and Top Spin I think are your area's of difficulty 

[geassed45]

@papergunmaster123654 I think it would be hard to really judge his footwork to be a weak area without some match play footage cuz otherwise he sets up well in a rally. And lol he does hit hard but that doesn't mean there isn't a good amount topspin on his balls, can't you see it?

[gepallen]

@papergunmaster123654 Tell florian mayer that mate!

[gregorylythgoe]

Uses his wrist too much on Forehand, Should be the whole of his arm not just his wrist to hit top on the ball, Will struggle against big hitters to time the ball like that. Probably why no Division 1 offers.

[geassed45]

@gregorylythgoe His forehand is actually pretty standard, a textbook "modern" forehand so to speak and a good one at that. Simple, efficient and he can draw out power w/o strain.

[Hopeannuoli]

The forehand looks crazy! But effective

[gepallen]

@Hopeannuoli Haha yeah its crazy ;)

[theeachuisge]

your serves are pretty fast but yes, you sometimes make foot fault. i liked your volleys also ..

[gepallen]

@theeachuisge I am not to fond of my forehand volley though. Corrected this now :)

[jinweijie]

Nice, but you step on the base line almost every time when you serve. :)

[gepallen]

@jinweijie yeah haha!

[explodingpimp]

Really the only problem here is that you foot fault a lot... other than that you're really damn good

[geassed45]

@explodingpimp you know unless he's actually playing a match, there really isn't much to say about the foot fault. It's an easy fix and no one really gives a damn during practice or warm up.

[gepallen]

@explodingpimp Thanks a lot for the comment, nice to hear :) I will keep working !

[iosonodella2i]

hell i like your forehand *_*

be careful about the serve, you foot fault almost always...

[Lovelysaralynne]

You are too good not to play college tennis. You should make a national college scouting assoc. account. It helps so much and do not limit yourself to just Division 1, there are PLENTY of very talented division 2 and 3.

[gepallen]

@Lovelysaralynne Thanks a lot, maybe in the future I will apply again, we will see. Stay tuned :)

[iheartswedes]

Are you Swedish?

[gepallen]

@iheartswedes Yep :)

[ErisRivera5]

i feel so sorry for that racket ahhaha you hit so freaking solid

[gepallen]

@ErisRivera5 Hahahhaha great!

[theBrickCity1986]

very nice game

[indpndntrd]

What school do you play for now?

Very nice strokes. Monster serve.

[gepallen]

@indpndntrd Didn't go to college, maybe i will search in a couple of years, not getting younger though ;)

[cooltoast12]

I like the forehand

[AkMachx]

This is powerful tennis, I liked the video.

You look solid and smooth.

Your forehand is ok, nothing to say.

Your backhand is good but sometimes you forget to move forward so you fall behind, nothing you can't solve.

The serve is awesome, nice speed, more than 120mph im pretty sure, but pay attention to your foot when going forward, you may foot fault.

You are working hard, keep wanting it and you'll get a good world ranking.

And remember that there's a difference between hitters and players.

[gepallen]

@AkMachx Thank you, impressive comment!

[AkMachx]

@gepallen So what's your racquet? An head?

And what about the strings? Tecnifibre redcode? Kirschbaum maybe? Caliber?

[mrtennisman6]

My key of winning is breathing in and out. And doing alot of little step to place your self well before hitting

[gepallen]

@mrtennisman6 Yeah thats a good thing, thank you!

[Tommy10593]

@gepallen I've seen worse players in D1 but in D2 you'll get also nice offers for sure

and i like your solid serve - looks good

[Stewielor13]

i see soderling in you...over all good solid groundstrokes..yea use your arms and not the momentum of your legs to do pull ups...

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

Your forehand reminds me of Soderling a bit.

[coochee96]

How do you get recruited by putting a video on youtube? can you explain the process?

[jamesmcellis]

College Tennis USA - Please contact us. Find us on facebook and twitter and 'like'. Follow link to website. Thank you

[Hksportsman]

the way you serve gives you more potential to stepping on the line as you showed us a couple times. this would cause a fault and so mostly you wouldnt want to move your front leg when serving especially stepping forward. and also when doing pull ups you really shouldnt use so much leg movements cause then you arent using as much arm thus reducing the amount you work out on your arms which is the main reason you do pull ups but overall it was very nice

[funcatalogue]

Hey buddy, I put you down on my channel's favorites. I get a lot of visitors to my channel. Maybe that will help you out with your college scholarship hunt. Good luck : D

BTW, great hitting - that's why you're on my faves.

[bengtmartin]

Önskar jag hade din serve...

[GAHHPROG]

Ei Bro! are you in a college?

[gepallen]

@GAHHPROG No I'm not

[MrDiegotenis]

damn i really like the way you hitt!!

[hottgame17]

Wow best ive seen via youtube. How did your college search go???

[gepallen]

@hottgame17 Not too good haha!

[TeppTennis]

I like the way you strike the ball but a lil too wristy on the forehand

[cosminbbb1]

Cosmin Bardan - NCAA US College Tennis Recruiting Video - Application 2012

[laeradelaguerra]

Dang Dude! IF ur not playing college tennis? r u pro

[hyktennis]

did u get any scholarship offers?

[gepallen]

@hyktennis Got some from Div 2 schools, but none from Div 1

[perry160598]

You have such pure hitting! You really remind me of Berdych with a lower toss :) I am watching your videos non stop. I hope to hit like you soon. I'll get my young sons to watch your videos when they are able to hit. Please keep uploading videos and let us learn :) Good luck to your career friend

[Mopzboy]

foot fault, foot fault, foot fault.haha...good serving though :D

[ProfessorFatts]

great forehand bro! Nice and clean contact...your finish on the backhand is the only place I see that needs work, just some friendly advice.

[OreoEater100]

how come your not playing college tennis?

[kkct7]

Why is the sound always so loud on these videos? All the players want ppl to think it sounds like a bomb going off when they hit a groundstroke.

[XizelSF]

@kkct7 The same thing as speaking in a hall. It echoes.

[OreoEater100]

your strokes remind me of gulbis :O

[hansioung]

FOOT FAULT! BUT GREAT!

[angelinajonlee925]

... you look like you're AT LEAST 25..... aaaaaaand i'd like to say that i watch your video everyday in hopes of learning how to hit harder with more consistency (not that i'm a weak hitter or anything)... are you not playing for any colleges? :(

[itsnotkevinsryXD]

@gepallen are you going to turn pro

[gepallen]

@itsnotkevinsryXD Hahaha probably not xD

[redviolin1231]

how do u hit so hard 0.o and its so fluent! PLS help me how to hit forehands like u :D

[xXNEOTROCITYXx]

lol the work out at the end was sooo pointless!! thumbs up if u think also! lmao

[mrSnakeeye20]

@gepallen what wy

[alexandervantiesto]

You suck man!

i'm sure that my little bro who is 12 years old would defeat you

[TheStellarTennis]

Why arent you playing? give us a reason

[P96uhu]

whats your mom cooking?

just kidding you're an awesome player

hope u get a college

[derekanaya]

Foot. Faults. Gallore. Only thing I can find wrong though O.o

[davidwoo92]

You're very good at tennis, but what's with the workout show at the end? You're definitely not doing any of those exercises right. Stop flailing your body up to get your chin up, that's not how any pull ups are done.

[hodgeyzelda]

brilliant groundies :)

[mrSnakeeye20]

@gepallen wy not your awesome

[homergrandslama29]

if you didnt get a scholarship for tennis people are fucking stupid second off what kind of Raquet is tat is that a radical microget midplus just wondering

[Azwar3]

poor strings :(

[AZIANxPRIDE1]

Dear lord, his stroke are deadly

[pgpl1919]

No way! You can easily make an average D1 team and start. Why arent you playing?

[magicmand13]

@gepallen Why not i mean you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RCR9897]

Hey man, you're really good. Are you playing tennis in college?

[theverizoncenter]

dude you dont need to play college tennis. join the pro tour. your amazing and I know a lot about tennis!!!!!

[micahwong11]

@gepallen y not?

[redhotchilipeppers11]

you are the weakest person I have ever seen. You are probably not playing college tennis because the recruiters were disgusted by how you struggle with simple body weight exercises haha

[mucknsteeze]

Your a great tennis player and I wish you the best of luck. However, your workout is completely unnecessary. You have terrible dip form and your pull ups are unorthodox. Don't worry about the physics section it's not what schools are looking for.

[LionPrid3917]

How do you generate good power on your ground strokes? I can hit groundstrokes hard just not always inside the court haha

[TheFede1810]

what strings do you use

[narCable]

How fast you serving?

[offyourhead12]

@gepallen why are you not playing college tennis, maybe you should play some usta events so the coaches have a chance you look at you or play some torunaments held at universities you wish to play at

[deividpaulfk]

You still playing?

[kawal979]

you are the weekest slowest fucking motherfucker ive ever seen

[dfreuman]

@gepallen - Why not?

[BarkoczyTennis]

you've got a great amount of power, but I do believe that you don't need as much wrist and your ground strokes & volleys. I also believe that you should probably break down that serve, make it a bit more simpler. Hopefully my feedback doesn't sound to negative

[dustcloudmaker10]

whos clapping those bricks in the background??

[plstrom]

very peculiar, and very good too.. promising!

[dc3fan2003]

nice acceleration on your serve

[MRWONDERFULable]

@gepallen why not?

[rubinho444]

nice skills.. keep improving and you will become a second Soderling.

[Pyroninja85]

woah ur scary on the court o.O

[E300192]

Hey dude! Did you find college? I am searching for college myself for Fall 2011, anu advice? :P

[gepallen]

Thanks guys! Means a lot

[HampshireACE]

Do you play in college now?

[USTANCAAUNIV]

I am not sure you can control ball very well while playing the match. Good serve!

[CANTGETENOUGHTENNIS]

How fast is your serve Marin Martin Del RaoIsner

[soccer13soccer]

Any chance your trying to go pro cause i can see you making it

[15mitc15]

You have some big power bro

[mdsp00001]

footing looked a little off on the first backhand...

[tennisman1155]

What's with the serve?

[jerrashs]

Finally a respectable tennis video

[ronklain1]

Hello see watered a lot Keep it up and really you look like a brute force Lsodreling like I have a question I am currently the best in the country at age 14 what Nerallach to have more practice on the techniques and habits that can help me to tell me how fast you workout exercises

[kblade95]

you can play at the university of i freakin love you!!

[UrbanReview01]

I am in 10th grade, playing tennis on my varsity team, your vid inspires me, you are an awesome tennis player

[diegoaltamirano1992]

Freakin amazing!

[nomnomnamable]

I wish I was as good as you, your strokes are really nice!

Just saying, when you work out, it's better to do less while performing these exercises with PERFECT form, you'll get a lot more out of it that way.

[hugopelle]

not even 10 pull-ups using your legs without stoping? man you were tired.

[hugopelle]

foot fault,foot fault , foot fault, foot fault,... and foot fault

[Saucy94]

what are you like on a slow court? slapping it every time would not work in slower conditions

[smithcm14]

@Saucy94 Your right, it's so sunny and speedy with indoor conditions.

[starlafur]

great tennis bad video -- is there someone doing dishes during your "physics" part? Just saying it could've been more professionally done (like some other editing software besides the forsaken windows movie maker!! agghh)

[brandontang619]

Damn. How fast do you think you are serving? And when did you start playing tennis? Have any rankings?

[dassmanen44]

what place are you in teh rankings

[FunnyPlace1]

holy shit, your serves are amazing

[dassmanen44]

isnt that a babolat pure drive

[YarpBarp09]

Very solid and fluid

[TheLeilisa]

im 5ft 10 is it good for Tennis?

[Gridironlion21]

so did u get a sclorship yet?

[kikiviva]

hey, nice tennis, but when you doing your chin ups do not use your body. use your shoulder and back to pull up. if u use whole body it isn't effect much as proper chin ups

[1fedfan]

OH MY GOSH- YOU ARE AMAZING

[charlesneedham]

Your serve is going to give me nightmares. Damn, I wish I could hit it that hard.

[gepallen]

hahaha

[banditjr770]

I have a two things to say. First you should change your name to Juan Martin Isner. Second, what racquet do you use?

[gepallen]

haha ty! here I play with head and now dunlop

[banditjr770]

@gepallen cool

are you looking for a full ride? Partial? how about to rebuild a struggling program? you look really good.
