aggressive errors gets hitting match means playing produce step sure winners
You have to try to make sure that you are one step ahead, ... That means I'll probably have to take some more risks. That's how you're going to produce errors from the other side, if you keep playing aggressive tennis. If you're going to let her get into the match by just hitting winners all the time, that's when she gets confident.
ball forward hitting
I look forward to get going again. I am hitting the ball well again. That is the most important thing.
closer comfort hitting kept lines misses risks
She kept hitting the lines and going for her shots, but the closer it gets, she misses a smash. They'll go for more risks and you get them out of their comfort zone. That's what sometimes makes a difference.
ball fighting hitting
I'm hitting the ball well, I'm hitting the ball clean. That's the most frustrating part. As long as (the hip) doesn't get worse, I'll keep fighting and see how I go.
ball exactly great hitting moving ready
My preparations haven't exactly been great but I am here and ready to play. I am hitting the ball well and moving okay.
arm ball bit feeling great hitting imagine overall playing seeing using
I feel like I'm a little bit restricted, especially with the serve. I feel like I'm just using my arm out there. I feel like I'm not really doing too much with my movement. But overall I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I'm hitting the ball clean, I'm seeing the ball well. That's why it's even more frustrating because just imagine if I would be feeling fine. It would be a great feeling to have, just playing well and not having too many other things going on.
hitting stand sure
I'll have to make sure that I stand on the baseline and make sure that I keep hitting aggressively,
compared definitely felt forward good hitting mind serve step
In my mind as well I was positive, focused, and it was definitely a big step forward compared to yesterday. My serve was on most of the time. I felt good and was hitting the lines.
best consistent playing
When you play someone like Lindsay, you have to play some of your best tennis, and I did that for a while. I was playing really well, just not consistent enough.
locker talking walking
We were talking even when we were walking on the court, ... It was fun. Afterwards, in the locker room, as well, we were chatting. That's how it should be.
aches pains younger
When I was younger I used to have little aches and pains but they always disappeared, ... fling.
doctors goes hear level maybe negative reach sort thinking tough
When doctors say, 'It's going to be very tough for you, maybe not to quit, but to reach that same level again,' that's very frustrating to hear. In a way, you hear it, and it sort of goes in and out because you don't want to keep thinking about the negative thoughts.
aggressive ball hit mix moment serve
Everything has to be right tomorrow, ... I have to serve well, I have to hit the corners. If you don't do that, that's what she does...From the moment I get a shorter ball and have a chance, I have to play aggressive and mix it up.
add improve percent
Every month, I have to improve and I have to add something. I'm going to try to do it for two more years, try to give myself 100 percent and then we'll see where it goes.
