You got a good game sis. I like how you are always stepping in and staying down on your groundies. Nice pop on that forehand.
Very sound technique, really like the forehand volley. Wish you well
You can tell she's had professional training. Great technique.
Overall pretty solid, I would do something about that BH volley technique but that's just me.
good job whit the edition of video
You are very talented
awesome. it really comes down if she can win matches., looking good is 20% of it.

Yeah, that’s what does not show up on video…LOL. 🙂
nice clip, have good luck :)
It would have bee nice to get a different point of view on the serve.
Ok, a couple suggestions. You ready? I’ve helped/coached/trained many players get college tennis scholarships . You’re good. You’re athletic. But, 1. Do another video rallying with a men’s 5.0 or a UTR 9-10. Your feeder is feeding balls my intermediates can hit. Film another video hitting, not with feeds. Your forehand loop is way too high. Clean and shorten up the backswing. Your backhand is good. Serve too. I coached on ATP Tour and trained ITF juniors at the international academies. You’re good. Keep improving though. And do another video.

10000000000% a few tips to make it a way stronger video. Don't start with Volleys... many college recruits can't really volley and many learn it in College. I've never seen a recruitment video with a drive volley... This isn't a common shot in tennis I would skip it entirely. Also your coach is spoon feeding the ball. Anyone can look great with easy feeding. I'm assuming the Serve is a major weakness of yours that's why you only showed yourself and not the result (Smart) but playing a few points with a strong player would actually show your potential. If I was a recruiter. This video would worry me a lot. No match play, baby fed balls, not showing the serve results. Makes me wonder if what you're trying to not show. That's 2018! Hope all it worked out.

Dude, I agree 1000000%! We wish her well and age that she’s good but you gotta make another video (I know, it was 2018!). You HAVE to show yourself rallying with someone good. And play some actual points. And when a coach feeds you, have him/her drill the feeds like a high performance coach would. Incidentally, her overhead was really awesome. But you don’t get college scholarships on being able to hit relatively easy lobbed overheads. Should have changed the forehand grip four years ago when you were 14. It’s completely Western. That being said, I think I speak for both of us when we say, we hope you got a scholarship and had a successful college tennis career. You’re talented. Let us know how you did. What college did you play for? What’s your UTR rating? Ok, keep enjoying your tennis journey!

Usa players lack volley and diversity, i wouldn’t say the volley (from short to longer ones) aren’t a common shot

PS. Your serve is really, really good technique. Show us some kick second served though and some actual points. And let us know how you do. Good luck.

i read that and I agree... i mean.. the guy is feeding her balls that are basically really high so her swing has to be high. Perhaps showing 1-2 minutes of playing with low level and faster balls would showcase a different dimension of her game. ?? so i agree.
Hi! Good job! I am also an aspiring student and would like to know did you have a chance to receive this scholarship finally? Thanks in advance
Hello Anastasia
Hey, Can u come to India?
Is she wearing Maria Sharapova collection's?

She swings too much on her volley other than that she’s really good.

@@bournejason66 okay. Go ahead and watch professional tennis player and see if they bring the racket behind their head when they volley 🙄
Hi. Not bad. Good technique and nice racket speed. The only thing that I Would recommend is jumping a little more when serving. Cheers.

@maccajoe he means there is insufficient coil in her legs. Also what I see is she could stay more sideways on serve, she really serves with her arm and a little help of legs. Result - weak serve

mauricio virmond dude, you jump because your weight moves forward. If you’ve been jumping on purpose you’re doing it wrong.

I know the OTI instructors (Florian Meier in particular) have a great video out talking about the legs when serving. I would agree that the knee bend here is pretty minimal. Seeing a bit more energy coming up from the legs and into the serve would help. Nice arabesque technique at the end. She clearly has put a lot into her serve. But it can still be improved, as I mentioned.
Nice clip :)
Where did you end up going? Are you pro now?

My guess is about UTR 10.X?

why not using the big muscles with your left arm straight and stretched to the side to get the rotation power and not that big swing, that takes your time away to load and use the big muscles. You hit the ball well but where is the flip that the ATP players use. everybody can do that
I would ve played ralleys because it’s way harder than what you did

All these young players have the same game. Western forehand, 2 handed backhand. 99% of these people are baseliners.
15 years of tennis? she started at 3.

Slow beckhand,more jump on a serve
The gladiator for the entertainment of the reach sucks is ready being picked up to be used…
Polyglot dictionary. Develop with me
forehand too weak.
America is a Continent. North America & South America make up that territory. But there are Universities in The United States. On the other hand, very skilled young lady...great feet and has top notch footwork around the court and near the net.

Manuel Maldonado you’re just terribly incorrect. Like are you actually that stupid? North America and South America are continents relative to themselves. You’re talking about the Western Hemisphere. Idiot.
Funny that I only see female players doing this
Is she major in Kinesiology? She is awesome for an American tennis team. I'll watch her play if she is selected for that scholarship. Heck, I will drive to the University and see her play. Any who, I am a beginner tennis fascinated when girls play.

All these garbage recruiting videos never show actual point plays. It's like miles per gallon numbers of cars in the brochure.
