I am a former club pro, and still work with a few of my players that are playing collegiately. I refrain from commenting on someone's tennis game, but you asked at the end so here we go lol: Love your dedication to getting better. That will serve you well. Having the want to puts you ahead of the game. Two things to consider: Play a practice match with your friend, again, but mark off an eight feet section in the middle of the court with poly spots. If either of you hit a ground stroke in the middle between the poly spots, you automatically lose the point. That will help you be more conscious of having a target on every shot. The only thing in tennis that is a definite is that if you hit the net, you lose the point. When at the baseline, don't worry about pace, but really brush up and hit with more height. This will eliminate the net errors, and help push your opponent back deep. Will lead to short balls which will allow you opportunities to put the ball away closer to the net and to your target. Really enjoy the content. Good luck to you!

Love to see people documentary their tennis journey!

Great match. To improve footwork without having to think about it, please consider jumping rope 5-10 minutes per day to build calf/foot strength. That should allow you to get into position to hit the ball earlier and really set up your shot. You can never have enough leg strength or fast twitch muscle for tennis. Good luck and thank you for sharing!

the wind goes crazy

im a benchwarmer 🤭🤭

are you improving this commentary

Please don’t put the ball on the court when you’re playing. Can cause injury if you step on it
