He is ranked 5th in the nation...I would say he is already great. If your definition of great is a 12 yr old beating a good adult player, then he already almost did that here. His future career will depend on his physical growth and his athletic ceiling. A lot of high ranked juniors are technically sound but their athleticism has a ceiling. We won't know his ceiling for a few more years.

Great match, guys. Stats vise Winston won 4 more points (55 vs 51) with 3 less unforced errors (28 vs 31) and 1 more winner. Interestingly, Adrian had more breakpoints (12 in 6 games vs Winston 7 in in 4 games). But both won 4 break points each. Winston won the short rallies by 14 points (33 vs 19) and Adrian the medium length rallies (20 vs 10). I love Adrian's forehand 5:33 and how he kills weak 2nd serves 5:46 I think Adrian is a great match up for Winston, would love to see a rematch for a pro set

@mjmenzies Жыл бұрын

Winston, I have been watching your game for years. The improvements you have made recently with the help of Coach Karue have taken your game to a new level. Your serve is improved; your backhand is more consistent (still a bit flatter than I'd recommend for your game style); your sense of court awareness and timing gives you so many more tactical options during the point. If you pardon the armchair coaching, I really believe that a more deliberate split step on the return of serve as your opponent makes contact with the ball will put you in a much more offensive posture that puts your opponents on their heels immediately, especially with as much spin as you impart on the forehand wing. That and maximizing your depth of groundstrokes can easily raise you to 5.0. Keep it up, good sir!

I enjoyed Adrian's spirit and confidence. He has all the shots and reasonable footwork. Two things I would do with his strengths: Run around his back hand for the higher top spin balls and hit cross court to Winston's back hand. Pin him down for two or three shots then be ready to hit down the line when he has an opening or hit wide and deep crosscourt when Winston tries to hit up the line with his backhand. Also Adrian needs to choose his drop shots a lot more judiciously. Adrian was giving away so many points early on to faulty drop shots. They are only a weapon if timed well.
