In the past, I've played where I only just rely on my serve.
I think my biggest thing is learning when to hit which serve when, not doing the exact same thing over and over. Because O.K., great, it's 120 miles per hour, but they're standing right there, and they just block it back.
I think my serve and trying to come forward a little more are what I need to work on.
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.
I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.
You kind of live and die by the serve.
I would say playing doubles is great for, you know, just in general. For the singles game, as well. You're able to work on returns, serves, aggressive playing. Also able to practice pressure situations.
I don't have the same serve speed as some of the guys, but I have good footwork, and I take the ball early.
If I serve good and play aggressive from the baseline, I can beat everyone.
Sometimes you can really serve well and win the match because of the serve. I have the opposite thing now, so it's kind of hard. I can just really play with my forehand and backhand.
When I can control the ball off the first shot after serve and return, especially with my forehand, that's when I'm in control most matches.
In any match, making a lot of first serves is very important, especially for me.
I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.
