My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
There's a lot of ingredients go into being a good tennis player.
I was serving good but was returning especially well, which was a weakness in my game. So not only was I serving well, but I was also breaking these other guys, and they felt the pressure.
My game is suited to grass because I'm really aggressive on the court. I have a big serve, I'm quick, I hit the ball hard, and I go to net so I have everything a player needs to do well on grass.
I think my serve and trying to come forward a little more are what I need to work on.
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.
If you didn't have power, you had to have touch and serve and volley, which I found very exciting and that's why I love watching Federer play, because of those skills.
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.
I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.
I would say playing doubles is great for, you know, just in general. For the singles game, as well. You're able to work on returns, serves, aggressive playing. Also able to practice pressure situations.
If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.
I don't have the same serve speed as some of the guys, but I have good footwork, and I take the ball early.
Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.
Sometimes you can really serve well and win the match because of the serve. I have the opposite thing now, so it's kind of hard. I can just really play with my forehand and backhand.
