How was today? What was it like?
Today was about consistency and did a session about powering up, my backhand was good in the practice but when it came to matching I was so scared and I couldn’t hit hard, and I was scared to miss, and we did 5 point tiebreaker. I lost my first match because I was rushing, but then I got my mind set up and I won all the other 4 matches.
What piece of advice did your coach give you?
We talked about backhand and taking time and position, and in the end, we did a little bit of service and how I should go forward and blast my weight to the ball. So for my backhand, I need to use my hip rotation more and blast through the ball. And for my position, I need to stand in mirror of the opponent’s position, and for my services I need to full swing and then I need to watch out for the net more than over. I need to go forward and form my shoulder.
To improve from now on what are you going to think when you are playing tennis.
Move faster, I am good at moving forward and backward but not good at sideways so keep getting my feet up. I need to hit more flat, I hit good topspin, so I should be able to use spin and flat differently, I keep using spin only. tennis is about defense and then if I have time all the tennis players, so I shouldn’t attack when I don’t have a good defense.
