The Last Jedi was worse.

You wait for the ball to bounce before you start preparing for your forehand.

Looking good!

From what I’ve heard and seen (YouTube matches) there isn’t a lot of cross gender play. The women are overrated relative to the men. Usually about a 1-1.5 utr gap. A 7 utr man would be competitive with a 8.5 woman

How the stroke looks is one of the least important things in tennis, especially rec tennis.

Eliminate service return unforced errors. You missed way too many in the two matches.

jumping rope by far is the best thing you can do on your own for fitness and footwork

Confirmed 5 UTR!

How can Trav UTR be 8-9 when he loses in straight sets to MEP who is a mid 7 UTR?

How else can you measure improvement?

Buy a radar gun so you can see if these changes make a difference.

UTR* not USTA!

That’s…. sandbagging

The one handed backhand is an inferior shot. That’s why.

Obviously we all want to win but your focus should be on improvement, not winning.

"Desperate not to hit long." You have decenttechnique. If you are focused on not missing you are going to get tight and miss. Focus on the process, not the result. The good thing is if you clean up the errors on the volleys and approach shot, you win this match with a double bagel.

Sounds like he is terrified of missing and slows down. Very common. He needs to loosen up and play without the fear of missing.

Any website where we can see results?

You hit down the middle directly to him far too often. When you have a "sitter" in the middle, hit to a corner. The court is actually longer that way so you have more court to hit safely into! Aggressively attack the net, hit drop shots. There's a lot of things you can do to beat this kind of...

My friends and dad all said prime mac wouldn't win 2022 NCAAs but prime Sampras would, prime Courier, they were split on. Prime Agassi, yes.

Teleport prime McEnroe through time and space. Does he win the 2022 NCAAs with his 1984 racquet and strings??

Love the fighting spirit. I love that when I send his videos to my tennis friends their heads explode. "He's a 3.5\4.0 at best!" "But he's not really a 4.5 USTA/7UTR <insert whatever ranking>" "In my region/area he'd be one level lower." "I'd definitely beat him! (no, you wouldn't).

Well played! Incredible the difference when you put away the overheads!

I am coming from a modded pure drive tour + and I use the same string. I love the Aero VS, a lot more control.

Unfortunately that is the downside of poly. They lose tension fast. Pros switch out their strings after every practice session and in a match every time they change balls! If you want a discount version of RPM blast, I'd recommend Volkl Cyclone.

The Prince who was Promised

A lot of things I noticed. Your opponent from the previous week is a much stronger player. This opponent had very good hands and hand-eye coordination but his movement was the weakest part of his game. You need to take advantage of your topspin and hit sharper angles to take advantage of his...

You leave “the zone” when your focus shifts or as tennis commentators would say “looks like he’s getting tight out there!”

You lost that match by focusing on the outcome rather than the process. I highly recommend this book's mental game section: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ES10I9O/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

This helped, best I've ever done vs the fast/flat shot. He also advised preparing earlier which helped a ton in returning his slice which skids like crazy on this surface.
