Yes, I hit with heavy top-spin, but when you look at the little rackets I played with, the Maxply Dunlop, you had to hit the very centre all the time. I had my share of miss-hits.
The one-handed backhand helps you to be more aggressive in the points.
Slowly from just touching the ball I got to making the ball and eventually hitting a decent defensive shot. Because I don't have a lot of weapons I have to use my speed.
I have a better backhand than forehand.
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.
I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.
Few players hit the swinging forehand volley as often, or as well, as Maria Sharapova.
My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it's the one I've won all the points with.
If I serve good and play aggressive from the baseline, I can beat everyone.
One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.
