angles biggest head hit hitting normally serve serves serving teach weapon
His serve is probably the biggest weapon in tennis, ... You can't teach being 6-foot-10. It's like he's serving out of a tree. Just the angles that he's able to create, he makes you hit his serves over your head where you're normally hitting them from around your hip.
coming confidence far head lose played regroup sign terrible
I like where my head was at as far as competing. I played terrible the first set, but I was able to regroup and not lose it. That's a sign of confidence coming back.
bigger bit guy head mind nice patient picture
He's the same guy I've always known. It's good, because I'm not so patient with myself out there. So it's nice to have someone with a little bit more even-keel head and bigger picture in mind sometimes.
