Today we hit Astro and there was so much sand on the court, and it was hard. I haven’t hit the ball at the court for more than 7 days, so I was doing so much frame shot at first. Then I met this wonderful person and he coached me for 45 min. He gave me challenges and he gave me many tips to improve my game.
Things Robbie said to me
- The top 100 players’ skill is mostly the same except, their mind is different so the top 10 players can play their highest level of tennis all time.
- Point at the ball when you are doing a smash.
- Instead of going side of the ball tries to go forward, that way you get more consistent.
- A good shot in tennis is not a fast winner that can break any defense. A good shot in tennis is something that is powerful that you can repeat many times without struggling.
- I need to brush more.
Good things
- I was using my body even after a long break, and instead, I am hitting the ball at the front more.
- My slice was powerful and it was going very low and sometimes it went high but most of the time it was good.
- I was hitting 3 balls through, so I was hitting the winner so much.
- In the end, I was brushing the ball and it was good.
- My backhand down the line was good, I was hitting the ball a bit late and because of that, I hit a good backhand.
Things I have to change
- I want to bring my back leg to the front for both strokes.
- I want to put more consistency on my 1st serve because my 2nd serve is good but my 1st serve barely goes in.
- I want to hit a higher place of the net for both strokes.
- I get angry when I do a mistake, and even pros do mistakes so I need to focus on the next point.
- I want to hit my forehand a bit deep, I tried to do my take back a down a little.
