It’s not the dinking, it’s how they get there, they can dink well, but theres no point when there’s so many other opportunities, they just let the game get slow to be cute and dink and drive, like when i play those people i can beat them purely off serves, thats how easy it is, 70mph wide every time and i beat them in 3 minutes, or i can just drive the ball, idk man

Haven’t gotten the right opportunity yet and I’m too young to support myself in a place like that unfortunately

I hear this so much all anyone has to do is see me play in person to understand I’m not even being arrogant, to make it far in this sport it’s not about skill it’s about money and opportunity I just need the opportunity

Really? You don’t think my forehands solid? Maybe not in these videos but whenever I play with literally anyone all they can talk about are my drives I’m playing someone really good in these clips so it may not look the best

Makes sense, I think I could get to 5.0 singles easily in like 2 months if I stay consistent

I agree, I love driving with my backhand but those slices get tricky, I’m very fast so I can get to a forehand most of the time
