    Hi Laura! Love this video. Yoi have fantastic groundstrokes & very strong allround game. But why does it look like the balls are coming on a bit slow on to the racquet?? Is it the slowness of the court or are the balls a bit old? I am only a beginner level player but whenever I play the ball tends to come on to the racquet very fast and the bounce is much higher and I often have to take the ball at almost shoulder level or atleast chest high which I find a bit difficult especially on the deep backhands!

  • @albarrera8912
    @albarrera89122 жыл бұрын

    Groundies are super-consistent. Her footwork is excellent and she lacks nothing in court coverage; she's fast. The serve is tight. I'd like to see what her kick serve looks like and some slicing from her backhand; particularly backhand approach. But those weren't shown so there's nothing to be said of those. If I could add one thing to her game that I did notice is how to attack her opponent's heavy topspin shots. In the video she backs up on all of those. She would do well to pick those up on the rise as much as she can. I know, that's tough to do well particularly on your backhand, but opponents will scout her for that and attack it. But her game is very tight and she should go far in college. Let's keep an eye on this girl over the next 2-3 years to see if she pops up on the circuit rankings.

    Very solid, can't imagine anyone passing on the chance to take a closer look at such a well developed player. I had 2 concerns: (1) On groundstrokes, I noticed you wait for the ball and sometimes move back to get into position. You hit with power so it has probably worked out fine so far, but I would like to see you get in the habit of moving forward to attack the ball on groundstrokes. This will complement your power and give you an edge in getting to the net. (2) you hit with power which is a key strength, but my concern is what happens when you play someone who can handle the power. This is where strategy/tactics come into play and I would want to a demonstration of this ability as well. Best wishes to you on all your endeavors, tennis and otherwise!

    Great tennis and technique and court coverage. Add another dimension (and arsenal) to the game by coming to the net more often (force your opponent making that error). I feel today's tennis game is all about baseline rallies which is great but adding another arsenal to the game at the net brings more a complete package (I think) and I know you can do this.

    As a retired coach I would like to say very good technique and movement looks top notch. If I was going to say anything to assist you I would look at your body position after you hit your backhand. Generally I notice your body position goes backwards. This is taking some energy out of your shot. Generally in open stance, unless stressed from being out of position to the ball, I would like to see either a neutral (neither forward nor backward after the shot) or positive moving the body through the shot. In terms of the video content the "points" section would be better if you didn't just show dominating play, but how you handle difficult situations... I completely understand this is a promotional video and you would also send in match play, but for those looking to put together a recruiting video for a "recruiter" believe me when I say that they want to see how you perform under pressure. Tennis is very much a mental game at the higher levels, and how players deal with points under stress is a much better way of showing your talents in my opinion. Good luck with your career !!!

    She has a strong baseline, good foot work with strong volleys that I haven't seen much from a young applicant for college scholarship, what's most important is how you prefer yourself in a battle, yes you always go backwards instead of forwards sometimes when you hit the ball, instead of hitting them forward that makes the ball grind stronger on your rocket strings specially if you master them to hit the sweet spot so often, I like her style and she plays like a real pro, fast drills makes them perfect for your foot work, but you must know how to hit them on the rise like Agassi which I've never seen much from a female tennis players lately, hitting on the rise manage your stamina avoiding to much movement and one of them is going backwards, of course your mentality is the hardest part to gain specially if you r getting tired of your long rallies and tough opponents to which you've been chasing your score to get back to your game, adding stressful pain is one of them, the very best part of tactics you should learn is how to read the weakness of ur opponent, when you know how to direct a hard fast ball cross court r down the line and short drop balls to the net away from her that's additional advantage like Kalinskaya she is not top ten list but she finds the way to play against no#1 Swiatek and took 2 games sets.. If you know how to listen to your trainers and advisers with patience you could master those things we just told you.. 👍👍✌️ good luck 🤞

    Not sure why this showed up in my feed, but great tennis. In hitting, it looked like she wasn't getting the forehand deep into the court but then in points she was able to push her partner off the baseline consistently. Most concerned about the serve and grip, great high toss but that can be difficult to reproduce outdoors. And would have loved to see a kick second.
