I [4.5] played against a 5.0 and made the following observations:
- He made very few errors: apart from a lazy service return on the 2nd point of the set, it wasn't until over halfway that he made his first UE
- He had most, if not all, of the shots [I didn't see him try a tweener] and could execute them consistently
- He could turn up the heat when I was at net and I could not volley well
- Above average TS so I was volleying everything below the net
- He never went big on his serve since he was clearly beating me easily so I didn't get a chance to see it
