Trey, well played. I think apart from your backhand the rest of your game is quite solid, especially your serve. To think that you got to that kind of serve in two years is crazy. Keep it up. Could you hint on the model of the Yonex racquet you are playing with? Thanks!

@alwaysprepared 2 ай бұрын

It's amazing how much you were able to cause Karue problems with your serve! It's massive given your rating, for sure! You do need to work on all your foot-faulting, however, particularly on the Deuce side. That right foot gets in front of your left and into the court quite a bit. Your forehand did damage, too! I agree that it might have been the best serving I have seen you produce! You even got a game off Karue! Incredible! You are a threat against anyone, dude!

@chubun6631 2 ай бұрын

I switched to a junior racket recently and found that besides a considerably drop in power everything else is pretty much the same. This racket also has smaller head but I don't think that would have much effects on consistency unless the 5.5 can really force Karu to hit on the run constantly which is not very likely. So my prediction is, it would take longer but Karu still wins eventually.

Great stuff and I love to see you playing against all levels and the creative content. I agree a 9 UTR against you with that racket would be a close match.
