every point that you win is a success every game that you win is a success don't try to think too
far ahead don't get down on yourself if you happen to go down on the score just keep fighting for
every Point don't overthink tactics right when the chance presents itself to you be aggressive when
there's a neutral position pick big targets play with a lot of intensity load your your shot so you
have a lot of body involvement right and try to play with as much spin as you possibly can yeah
on defense you know neutralize the ball if you can the important is that you take a lot of time
before your serve because I think one aspect of it again is going to help you tremendously is if you
make a lot of first serves yeah if you happen to miss a lot of first serves now maybe you can start
slicing the first or more or maybe even kicking a few first serve so you can get the confidence
back the best time to get take games off a high level players like this is in the beginning when
she gets into it she gets in the groove she's going to get tougher and tougher towards the end of the
set so this is my chance so she might take what I can get she might be a little bit tight too so
in the beginning is a chance to maybe get a free point get a lead maybe yeah but most importantly
have fun yeah yeah have fun this is going to be a fun match okay I'm excited I think like
the biggest value you can get is try to win every single point you know and then like if you lose a
point treat that as like something really bad if you lose a game treat that as something really
bad so you really work on your concentration and your consistency you're not missing you try to win
everything as badly as you can like go for a golden set okay all right come on
bad bounce you got burnt yeah it was a bad bounce he got burned by the bad bounce yep
you're slicing a lot so the backhand is pretty much non-existent you know
so even when you hit it you don't trust it the technique is not there so yeah you know
it's kind of tough to hit it when you don't when you're not making the backhand so run around the
backhand as much as you can but you're doing well there was a couple of those games that
you could have won actually I know I know one point at a Time come on you got this
listen Shamir you did a great job thank you you were fighting hard you know Emma
I feel like you improved a lot since I've seen you last like the training that you're doing now
daily training is showing big time like your serve is faster your forehand is faster your
footwork is more secure I definitely see a big Improvement and Shamir I'll be honest I
told her to play full out and to win as badly as she can yeah so that she can get something
out of the match too of course and I think it's good for you too yeah to see that was
interesting we wanted to check how you would fare against uh high level you know super high
level female player and yeah you did good I think this match showed some weaknesses in
your game what we talked about in the warm up your one-handed backhand is Rusty right
now you don't trust it that's why you're slicing so much yeah exactly yeah I can see on your backhand
you're not trusting it right now like you're feeling you look a little tight on the backhand
yeah extend more give yourself more space and hit it more space okay come on hit it hit it
much better Shamir nice so we definitely have to work on the one handed backhand you were forced to
go for a little bit more with your forehand and the fact that your forehand is so flat
caused you to miss a lot of forehands too because generally your forehand is good but it is flat
no spin Shamir you didn't grip the ball you went like this oh clay court
listen there's not there's nothing wrong with that forehand and the more vertical
you are on your swing path the more chances you give yourself
to have consistency when you hit hard yeah that's what you got to understand yeah when you hit hard
and flat you can make it but it's more low percentage okay so down the road we should
work on you know adding a little bit more spin yeah on your forehand so that when you hit hard
you can get some control also second serve was weak and you didn't get too many first serves
and I hit a whole bunch of seconds yeah yeah but you guys did good that was a good match thank you
