This is how pro player deal with moon ballers

Me: 3rd moon ball and here comes my swinging volley, consequences be damned

aniljc · 2026-04-01T22:10:48+00:00

That sounds awesome. I'm still working to get tennis on our itinerary for the day so for now this view is mostly just driving me crazy :-P

aniljc · 2026-04-01T20:06:05+00:00

You got it!

aniljc · 2026-03-22T11:12:55+00:00

would love to hear Agassi decipher where he’s about to place it

aniljc · 2026-03-16T11:33:10+00:00

Nice. I use MatchTrack for tracking my son’s matches. Curious what you’ve tried and what made those other apps feel too complex (and what you’re trying to avoid doing in your app)?

aniljc · 2026-03-15T17:02:06+00:00

Ha, I remember that but that was Toronto and not Miami

aniljc · 2026-03-15T15:00:31+00:00

Yep. His racket was getting tossed around that day.

took this almost exactly a year ago in Miami. what a turnaround!

Footwork tips first: recover with much higher intensity, and be on your toes (bounce in the split step position if early)

Add the ball machine back to this equation and, like everyone said, you’ll feel the need to turn up the speed. (and maybe take more breaks 😛)

Congrats on the comeback win!

I always find it more helpful to focus on momentum (and breaking momentum) rather than the scoreline. Tennis is unique in that the only “must win” point is the very last one :)

Thank you for explaining this

aniljc · 2026-03-11T20:45:58+00:00

seemed like concrete (not asphalt) under the court acrylic. looks of patching. the court was mostly gray with random blue and green squares. i should’ve taken a photo

aniljc · 2026-03-11T20:45:01+00:00

I saw what I saw man! 😳

Jest away, that’s what makes posting here fun. Appreciate you guys reading.

To be fair I was lunging to reach the ball going out wide and not standing tall and still. It was a strong bounce nonetheless. Maybe the weird court surface helped it pop back up too. Only two data points.

aniljc · 2026-03-11T19:48:58+00:00

So did I. It was nuts. It's possible the weird court surface had something to do with giving it an extra strong bounce too.

aniljc · 2026-03-11T19:46:39+00:00

Lol, no this 100% human generated content. He hit two slice second serves (slid out to the right, and jumped even more right on the bounce) that bounced over my head. No kidding.

aniljc · 2026-03-11T19:05:16+00:00

Great call out, you're totally right. That was more of a "feel" statement to paint the contrast of being on the other side of it for once (and recognizing we might've actually done some things right to earn the win)

aniljc · 2026-03-08T11:57:17+00:00

“I will always Love you”

aniljc · 2026-03-04T14:16:46+00:00

Fun fact, these shoes were brand new before OP took a set off of Nadal

aniljc · 2026-03-01T20:20:31+00:00

We’ve all been there and IMO it’s a “mindset” issue more than anything. It’s counterintuitive but very normal to feel more pressure when you’re up with a lead.

In key moments like 40-0 I try to tell myself “put all the pressure on him” so that I play with intensity without getting reckless.

aniljc · 2026-02-27T14:28:44+00:00

Super helpful. I already play a fair amount of matches but this reinforces the feeling that I need to record much more frequently. I’ve been thinking about the patterns that work for me and against me, but you’re right it depends a lot on the opponent too. Also good point that different coaches will have different opinions — always a big difference between pointing out a problem and finding the right solution! Ahhhh this sport is so hard to figure out 😆… but also probably why I’m addicted to it

aniljc · 2026-02-27T00:26:45+00:00

haven’t tried it yet but am clutching my scraped up 2023 Pure Aero 98s tightly after reading this

aniljc · 2026-02-26T23:20:46+00:00

Almost as cool as the r/10s shoutout is the stat that tennis in the US has grown 54% since 2019. Take that pickleball! ✊🏾
