FUTURE OF TENNIS IN AMERICA? next Andy Roddick

[seanflood96]

just a little tip because he is smaller get he a smaller racket

[mojoslrshit]

hey white russki....:( unhappy with your life?? need some rich parents??

[WhiteRusski]

i mean comon why the hell does a 7year old need a lacoste polo shirt!

[WhiteRusski]

tennis prodigy i think not, pretty obvious hes nothing special he just had a big ego because his rich parents can afford to buy him all the gear and get him a presonal trainer every day, ha!

[Khangsbiggestfan]

I'm looking at his foot movement when hitting the ball and he's actually doing them correctly. haha Just his age makes him vulnerable to criticism like "I bet i can take him"

[larkiess]

Well maybe he'll be in the Atp if he works EXTREMELY hard as a teen, but this isnt anything special

[TheDonOrange]

maybe the next andy roddick in ping pong.

[geto235]

the title and description of this video just makes me sick

[kumar01234]

seriously back out he is just a kid. who knows what could happen in the next decade

steve nash didnt touch a basketbal till he was 14 and he is one of the best point gaurds in the NBA and he is CANADIAN.....CANADIAN

that is fresh considering ice hockey and bacon is what canada is known for

[xMkIVx]

terribad.

[limeiulia]

That's it son, go earn daddy some money.

[TheCoasterThrill]

not the next no one

[bnguyen8008]

this kid has no idea...



[Lickie15]

i pown him

[Phillipkim224]

we don't know where the balls even went...

[kuraiko00]

I did that when i was 6

[kuraiko00]

I did that when i am 6

[klaasjanklaas]

terrible



[travisdt]

he is good for his age. and use an advance stick of Roddick...keep it up, who knows

[salomehitijahubessy]

@travisdt

neee tuuknie

[jfandjp51]

hes okay

[terrigaltennis]

The thing is by calling your video "FUTURE OF TENNIS IN AMERICA? next Andy Roddick," opens yourself up for negative and judgmental comments. He is 7 and there is no way you can tell what he is going to be. Why pressure the kids with words like prodigy and the next big name. I have been around tennis a long time and seen kids with everything going for them as far as skill and talent but never go past the satellite circuit. So before you brand your kids as greats THINK twice

[krishna7991]

didn't you get any other name besides roddick. you could say sampras. and he is good for his age

[nicholasryanandrick]

hes awful. just throw him away.

[zahkara]

comon guys this video isnt serious and yes i know its says FUTURE ANDY RODDICK but still dont be so mean!

[vivalaryan54]

too early to judge. i could do that when i was 7 and im no pro

[Kevinxnam10]

People on youtube are harsh lol, picking on a little seven year old.

[alloneword154]

Yeah you can tell alot of them were going out but I think he has a good foundation for his age, dont break the wrist and elbow so much on the forehand

[holla135]

There are four year olds better this little bitch.

[britishjamz]

some of his shots were good, he needs to work on his arm position when he's hitting, but he was still soo good for his age, and it was so cute at the end when he walks up to the camera and says "Take that John Silva?" Idk..haha(:

[britishjamz]

@britishjamz oops, jan silva

[DimaL78]

answer:

youtube.com/watch?v=u-Hw_lORe0­A

[Amyloverboy]

He didnt even hit half of them in --_--

[winxknight]

As long as he's having fun. that's cool with me. :) Go little dude!

[cmysubscriptions]

I like how that kid has those retarded elbow thingies even though he probrobably doesnt have any muscle sores

[hencar2]

lol...young djokovic was a lot better than this boy

[3DGNumberOneFan]

1/10000 Go pro 1/10000000 Accomplish what Roddick has 1/1000000000 Become a Federer/Nadal type. Sorry to say but this kid has about as much chance as I do

[r0baa]

take that silva? wtf silvs would crush him

[Salhherod]

Probably his dad uploaded this...DAADDY, HE IS NOT THAT GOOD, CALM DOWN

[Rydell878Productions]

@Statonrules DUDE YOU SUCK ASS TO.

[Rydell878Productions]

my fucking dog is better :)

[Rydell878Productions]

He is HORRIBLE. Dude. Like EWW. wtf were you thinking.

[greenpug24]

@Rydell878Productions AGREED AND EWW BRITISH PEOPLE. Lol jk jk but THIS CHILD SUCKS.

[Bayernfan1310]

Yeah ... let me tell you something !!! HE SUCKS EGGS!!!!

[summerland232]

wearing pricky clothes doesnt make you good, but if you look this up on youtube then you will see the next and roddick. "DENIS SHAPOVALOV 8 years and eight months old tennis player"

[summerland232]

youtube.com/watch?v=MiC9ACC5Qa­M nothing compared to my son

[bananatree1234567]

i think i played better than this when i was 7.. and that was when i had never taken a tennis lesson before

[novola1972]

stop right now and point out his mistakes and SPEAK during the drill , dont be quietly watching him repeating the same mistake over and over again

[Moddick2]

And if he is the next Roddick then I'm the next Federer.

[toutaaaaaaa]

@Moddick2

yass i can finally be the next bjorn borg then :P

[Moddick2]

Jan Silva would literally clean the floor with this kid and he's only 5. I know a 7 year old girl that would finish you in 15 minutes. Sorry, you suck terribly.

[tennisstar001]

er i think its a no hes pretty bad i know this 8 year old called dan he is really small for 8 but he wuld just wipe the floor with this kid i play aswell i quiet good i am 13 in august and i am in a quarter finals of a competition which i played today but my friend dan is probably for his size one of the best in england and britain

[macedonianBLOOD17]

wow hes prob some fucking 20 year old midget who sucks cock everyday

[sullmister]

all the gear but no idea...

[Bobbylatope]

BACKHAND WITH 2 HANDS /please fortget that

[boogieoogie10]

now he should not challenge jan silva because he isnt good, jan silva, even though i dont like jan, would woop your butt, and plus jan silva is only 5 years old and he would murder u at this, ...........man i could murder u at tennis when i was 5!

[Bayernfan1310]

dude he sucks .. when i was seven i was beating 13 year olds so little one keep practticing but u will never amke it ^^

[ccryptoo]

it makes me crazy to see things like that. My dog would probably hold the racket better. I mean this is nothing more then average and you praise with "FUTUR TENNIS" and Next Andy Roddick. Parents sees in there children always something special but for this kid go discover something else.

[johnny5matt]

woah kids lets not get into an international fight lol

[Darkrayne1]

Why with all the hate. At least the kid is having fun, he may not be the next andy but who are we to decide that. hes starting young and will be a good tennis player if he keeps up with it. So to everyone out there whos saying omg he sucks balls or nope not even close...when you were that age he could probably kick your ass, so lay off and get a dam life

[jaspermatty]

Even if you think this kid sucks--he's obviously YOUNG enough to correct any poor form--duh. Plus, if he loves the sport and has a great positive attitude--well, that there is a big plus. At least it's worth going for a college scholarship!

Keep it up little guy!

[nellychess]

I think you need to take this video off of you tube for so many reasons. I don't even know where to begin.

[nnnuggets]

terrible form

[matty7112]

forehand sucks, backhands sucks, attitude probably does too seeing the end of the video, hahahah yeah future of american tennis? of course :p get real

[jack9xjack9]

my friend (7 year old) can beat him 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.

[topspincrazy]

@jack9xjack9 srry but no one cares wat ur friend can do, second of all kids only play 2/3 sets they dont play first to 3/5 sets, only mens proffesionals play 3/5 and that would only be in grand slams and the davis cup so either start learning wat tennis is or stop

[jack9xjack9]

i dont give

[topspincrazy]

haha because i really doubt u have ever played tennis

[jack9xjack9]

i doubt you've ever played tennis

[topspincrazy]

really?? haha all u did was copy me...tennis is my life, have u read my name yet? do u even know wat topspin is? obviously not

[jack9xjack9]

@topspincrazy i bet you're an old guy who wishes he had played tennis when he was young

[topspincrazy]

@jack9xjack9 no dipshit im 14 so stfu u dumb redneck retard...so be quiet because u suck dick at tennis

[jack9xjack9]

@topspincrazy actually im ranked in Hong Kong so... yeah

[topspincrazy]

@jack9xjack9 haha yea im ranked high in america too haha...ur an idiot just shutup

[Nguhuan]

@topspincrazy

Care to actually back that up?

What's your name, stud.

[Nguhuan]

@topspincrazy

So unless you can actually back that up and give a name, basically all you have is the name of your YouTube account, yep that's a big deal, and that your own word that you're highly ranked.

[rblack37]

@topspincrazy is ur last name kaufman

[topspincrazy]

@rblack37 no i havent updated that yet, i live in florida now

[boogieoogie10]

@jack9xjack9 will yall both just shut the FUCK UP NOONE GIVES A DAMN WHAT U R RANKED U ASS HOLES, does it look like we care about yall, if yall want to argue, make your own video and comment on that!!

[zeus7888]

showme where the balls are falling and i will believe that he is just another normal poor kid with an freak dad :P

[Elchapete17]

that is so weird dude the kid in his forehand his hitting it out

[rblack37]

@Elchapete17 nice grammar lol

[Funkyhippo25]

um..i dont understand why people dont see that this is a joke?

[daphne1960aoe]

no he wont be best for sure

[roastshow]

I know a seven year old girl that is 100,000 times better than you...And the service line? really? You will never be half as good as Jan Silva ;) Silva owns you.

[dejerry11]

bad trainer if you see that :s

[blinkMATIC]

next a-rod?i bet andy was already hitting forehand winners to the line at 100mph at that age hahaha

[eaglesrule1040]

Definetly not the next Andy Roddick. Terrible form . He is average for a 7 year old

.

[jack9xjack9]

wow, the service line

[13NickO37]

Bad form, future of tennis.. maybe if he gets taught correctly at the age and works hard at it.

[JBvideos18]

i just saw today at a tennis tournament the most incredible seven year old tennis player that was playing in 12u tournament He not only won his match he is in the semi finals HES ONLY SEVEN wayyyy better then you buddy

[OliiiiH]

He is only having a laugh, saying take that jan silva , jeeeez hes a lil kid who cannot be compared with jan silva. quit with the jan silvas so much better than you comments!

[megabullie1]

you might want 2 take into consideration that hes only 7!!! good effort i say

[nohype3]

this kid fucking sucks

[XfunkyXmonkeyX123]

wow all those balls where out i bet

[IPawnt]

Terrible form...it would help to first teach the basics.

[babolatboy3208]

pimp

[Axcelaration]

he sucks monkey balls

[bakerskater291]

it would help to see where the ball goes wow.

[snaztasticpanda]

he dosnt know how to hit fucking top spin...

[dorishoyos]

He will beat Jan silva

[Axcelaration]

nope. not even close to good

[MaxFlared]

@Axcelaration hes like 5 you retard. hes probably better than you. andy rodick probably played like this when he was 5 if not worse

[laperdepaperhond312]

he sucks very hard!!

jan silva will kick his ass

[blink182zeppelin]

no offense but there was this little 5 year old girl at my old tennis academy who hit harder and faster (from the baseline as well) than him

[fungamesss]

i thought it was more pronouce jan not john like a jam with an n.. jan silva would probably own you but hey jan silva would own anyone his age

[Protecthishouse94]

hey gotta admit he's really good for his age but i would suggest not to get him a babolat. in my eyes it kinda spoils their full potential, so start him off with a mid ranged racket, in this case im playing with a Wilson N5 Ncode racket, which for me is oe of the best rackets ive ever had. either way he is very good.

[o16zero]

haha cute..but a very ambitious video title for a player of this calibur. i think jan silva's pretty legit, there aren't a lot of junior players that can rival the maturity of his game.

[Bernieboy60]

You'r a disgrase for Andy Roddick.

[TeamOntario89]

yea next Adny roddick we got there look at the ugly backhand.. doesan't that seem about right

just devolp the world fastest serve and some monster forehand and you be there

[redneckboy6983]

keep it up, and do lots of training camps and get into a good private high school. then maybe, lol. at seven i was probably better but i never stuck without after hs, just played varsity in hs but didnt continue in college

[whirlpoolOcrap]

dude he sucks. i was able to do that my first day of playing.

[Jubakaye]

He only probably only made one of all those balls he hit in. They were just feeding him balls. But he is good for a 7 year old

[soccerjunky15]

umm no nowhere near prodigy. and he is definetly cocky looking

[googleslex123]

jan silva is so much better then you

[ambiplayer]

He should challenge Andy Roddick best of 3 sets. It may be an interesting match with this kid's speed and power.

[Kishnabe]

Maybe if he has the attitude of roddick, i can give this guy a chance.

[Kishnabe]

If he the future of tennis in america, then i guess america is going downhill for quite a while then!!!

[xxxmoomersxxx]

yeh hes not that great!

[gohanmaster]

nothing special about him.

[liampimp12341234]

wow ppl give him a break

[jackinthebox1313]

that wasnt good at all. and the comment at the end just shows what pricks his parents are

[VAMOSRAFA231]

jan silva would kick your assss!

[Wadec]

awful technique

[007toft007]

dude hes just hitting some tennis balls back, any 7 year old can do tht, infact a 2 year old can do tht

[Bearcreeksnowboard]

He FUCKING sucks, I played like that when I was 4.

[LuCaRiOfan94]

youre cool. picking on a little kid. man i wish i could be more like you. i bet that makes you feel good about yourself, huh?

[OliG312]

i've decided... your comment was pretty cheesy but you are wrong

[rlballer]

i don't think he would even get a point off silva

[tws112]

do u really want to be an andy roddick, he has no backhand!

[banana73able]

he sucks hehe silva would kill him

[raaaaaul12]

lol someone got to tell him how he grab his racket XD

[xMkIVx]

Jan Silva would eat this kid.

[tannernovalinski]

wow the ball was barely coming at you

[TennisProCA]

Is it a joke? The kid barely hits a ball. At his age, there are tons of children who are much better on court. This kid is not even close to the best players of the same age.

[downbwd]

It looks like all the shots are going out

[lorehsm]

sorry but jan silva is more great

[OnefootinBrooklyn]

i'm just happy to see little ones passionate about tennis.

[FranciscaMoi]

not bad, but i've seen better... =D

[Yifmelon]

Hmmm.....

I've seen a couple of kids who are about 6/7 and they play unbelieveable tennis. Which looks since they're not much bigger than the net.

But sure this kids good for his age but he's no Andy Roddick.

[imadesiboy1993]

great, roddick's racket definitely makes it a 5 star

[rogtenn]

That's cute. He's even dressed like Roddick, with the cap and the babolat racket. And who can forget that fire.

[zimachi]

no, never, and hell no

[NachoNiebre]

The kid is a decent tennis player, doubt he will ever be pro though. However, I think the dad needs a kick to the nads just for scripting his son like that.

[ibo911]

he is shit he hits the ball way to high shit shit s hit

[Strikerking8]

He is 7 you fucking retard.

[KBrizzle28]

Jeeze you guys are harsh. He's just a kid having fun. Chill out.

[njrajesh]

Absolutely... I agree !!

[Spiffy661]

you guys are stupid, he is only 7 and he can at LEAST hit the ball back.

HE IS 7, how can you say if he is a poor tennis player or a good one?!

imagine if he practiced a lot for the next 10 years or so, he could be really good.

i mean, he's obviously not great in regular standards..but for his age, sure.

[clueless301]

ur comment was pretty cheesy but u are right

[railer007]

no just no

[musicperformer9]

and you eat my cock

[musicperformer9]

i don't thimk so

[tennisace9]

once again clearly look at his shoulders way too tense you cant have that in a tennis player for various reasons and parents dont let your child challenge another 6 year old tennis player your kids all have a 1-66 percent chance of becoming a professional

[Kimmetje844]

He should change his backhand grip... I agree, descent player, but definitly not the next Andy Roddick

[SlowerCPU]

why so serious

[SHAenima]

the parents of this kids oughta be ashamed of themselves for trying to put their kid in the spotlight like this. (emphasis on the "trying" part). Makes you wonder how much pressure they put on their kid to be good, doesn't it!

assholes/retards

[Shush10uk]

This kid is a poor tennis player, Fact.

The parents of this kid need a smack up the head and the dad also needs a kick in the bollocks.

[r1cebaII]

wow you don't have to be so harsh just cause your a no-life tennis player

[bluesboy67]

Bahahaha, you guys actually believed the whole fourth in the Midwest thing? Come on people, if I was fourth I would be training right now. and i want to point out to you guys that I have no problem whatsoever with the kid, hes a decent tennis player, but i do think the parents are retarded. And just because I'm not fourth, doesn't mean I'm not ranked.

[r1cebaII]

lol bluesboy your a dick if you say this kid sucks at tennis at least he has a life a person who is fourth ranked 13-14 must be a big tennis NERD. and maybe you should think about other sports. He could be way better at soccer or something.

[bluesboy67]

And another thing.

A TWO HANDED BACKHAND. If this kid was truly good he would play a one hand backhand. Millions of other children play tennis and could hit a one hand backhand slice.

You may be telling yourself that I'm just some crappy tennis player who is angry and wants to take it out on you. Well no, I'm not crappy. Try the fourth ranked player in the 13-14 age group for the entire midwest.

[yoimcrazy]

Well you see, the number 1 in the world currently has a 2 handed backhand. Don't be bias and say a good player is a player with a one handed backhand.

[ilstella]

ever played gordan zhang?

[gatennis1]

oh really whats your name? And you are wrong a lot of really good juniors and pros have 2 handed backhands!

[bluesboy67]

I'm back. Ran out of room.

2. Great job on scripting your kid. What 7 year old knows who Jan Silva is? Come on, if your going to be a dumb ass, at least make somewhat of a decent attempt at it.

3. THE KID IS SEVEN YEARS OLD. At least wait until an age of which he has a concept of understanding tennis. I have a friend who played tennis at Bollettiere for two years when he was 13-15. Now he hates tennis. He was 5 when his parents started him playing. His parents pushed him into as you are doing.

[bluesboy67]

Wow I'm sorry but these parents have to be slightly retarded. Reasons

1. The kids wearing Lacoste shoes, polo, and shorts. There are two things wrong with this, number one is that the polo is not a sport polo, good way to get your kid dehydrated. But nice attempt at showing off to your friends at the country club. Two, I'm fourteen and I didn't wear Lacoste until i was 12, this kids seven. It's totally ridiculous to buy your kid a 75 dollar shirt that no one cares about.

[chaoswyrm]

are you guys seriously kidding me

he is just being a kid XD

why do you guys need to criticize him?

sure there are things he could improve on but just cut him some slack

you guys take this vid too seriously.

[tennisproderek1]

lol this kid is terrible what kind of idiot thinks hes gonna be the next andy roddick

terrible form and he slices all his forehands bad contact

JUST CUZ HES WHITE AND HAS A PURE DRIVE

retards...

[gatennis1]

what would you know! You probobly can't even play tennis! LOSER!!!

[peanut9519]

jan silva sucks ass

[wog33]

jan silva will eat him!!!!!

[Luvs23]

he sucks!

[FiNdLaY47]

doesnt fuking matter if he would beat that kid or not!

these kids r like 5, let them enjoy tennis then go from there, u put pressure on them it wont end well!

[POYBOY10]

Nope if you played silva you get it hard!!!!

[fehongsushi]

holyhell man......try to do topspin....and also dont play net the wholetime...try to play baseline so you can topspin

[liampimp12341234]

guys hes like 5 years old cut him some slack

[booboobooie47]

just trying to help dude

[booboobooie47]

this kid sucks. theres a thing called topspin

[kenjikenjikenji12]

i know the future between those two jan silva and this kid.......i just played my junior nationals and is head captain of nechii gauken academy.....this kid is gonna get raped by silva.

[kingofall27]

all of those shots were out except one

wow hes good
