Yes, I hit with heavy top-spin, but when you look at the little rackets I played with, the Maxply Dunlop, you had to hit the very centre all the time. I had my share of miss-hits.
The one-handed backhand helps you to be more aggressive in the points.
Slowly from just touching the ball I got to making the ball and eventually hitting a decent defensive shot. Because I don't have a lot of weapons I have to use my speed.
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.
I have a better backhand than forehand.
Few players hit the swinging forehand volley as often, or as well, as Maria Sharapova.
I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.
My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it's the one I've won all the points with.
If I serve good and play aggressive from the baseline, I can beat everyone.
One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.
