This match highlights for me how much winning tennis is about who can hit those 7/10 level shots in more. That constant pressure is just so tough to withstand when your opponent won’t miss those types of shots. Well done on both sides - great ball striking by both of you!

@TimTheMusicMan 12 дней назад

That’s called modern tennis not real tennis. You cannot stand on the baseline and use a 2HBH for ever. You must learn the real game of tennis. And the giant artificial rackets and strings used today eliminate most of the actual game of tennis, it’s destroyed the game. Winston would have won 3-4 games if he played the way I’ve recommended. Standing on the baseline won’t get you far.

@jonathankieranwriter 10 дней назад

She’s probably still near a 6.0 USTA Women’s level. All the bedrock shots and essentials are still there; it’s clear to see that she was a professional/tour-level player. That ingrained ability is not going to just go away. As a flat hitter myself, a huge key would be to redirect with savvy counterpunching and pull her out of position. She had plenty of time to set-up on almost all of her shots and returns. Some sharper-angled drives would have taken her out of her comfort zone and probably elicited some errors/overhitting on her big groundies. Expose some potential movement issues. She likes taking a big cut at the ball off both sides, right in her wheelhouse. Take that away from her with super-deep drives into the corners or even sharper angles a few feet past the service line, and her rhythm could break. Easier said than done! Fun to watch 💪

She is a strong player. She is hitting many deep and hard shots - it ends up being a lot to deal with if you don't always play people who can do that. On top of that, her serve was strong. You had some good opportunities to sneak into net and put away shots, but you were probably focused on figuring out her baseline game rather than experiment in that set.

Like most female tennis players, and it’s very common in the women’s tour, there is no strategy except to hit the ball hard. This causes a lot of misses. Exceptions are Ash Barty, whom you could always see working the point, and perhaps a couple of others in the current women’s line up.

@TimTheMusicMan 11 дней назад

@@cekinekshn you fell into the handicapped trap. The equipment today is a handicap. It provides everything for the player. Real pro sports like MLB and NFL and NBA do not change their main equipment to make it easier. The talent must come from within. Tennis today cannot be compared to when players had to use real equipment to play. Todays players are watered down. Many don’t belong in professional ranks, if they had to use traditional equipment they could not compete. They need the assistance. If MLB allowed composite bats as opposed to the solid wood bats used for the past 120 years, they would be hitting 700 foot HR’s its east when you have artificial equipment like tennis adopted. They did it for $$. And the men’s game now mirrors the woman’s game. They both stand on the baseline. They both use 2HBH’s, the mens game became the women’s game. If you think I’m wrong take original equipment and try to play. Ability drops 75% immediately. The stats today are all skewed. You can’t compare anyone today to someone who won a GS in 78 etc. they had no assistance. The talent had to come from them. Today the shots are made using the artificial strings. When you change the equipment you lose the complexity of the game. Also todays players don’t even know how to volley mid court. Drop volley. S/V. Sorry but These are all 100% facts.

@bigrobsydney 12 дней назад

I'd rate her around a UTR 10.5 - 11.0. Thing is, she looks better than her real rating is, because she's playing someone that she can move around. Also, have a look at other players at that level; they're able to rally consistently. Kat did well for maybe the first 5 shots or so, but then is inconsistent after that. The higher level players would just grind their matches against her and she would win many points, yes, but ultimately wouldnt win many games. And a UTR is based on how many GAMES people win, not their power / style.
