Tennis Development

Need to add a forehand topspin.

Add low slice/chip and charge.

Need more pop/kick on 2nd serve. Leave feet.

Combat the slice/spin meister with own return slices. Put more pressure on their slice/short return with deep balls. Add serve/volley and lobs to change pace.

If opponent can't rally long and makes unforced errors early, then play defense and wait him out to win points.

Continue to serve/volley when appropriate.

Be mentally tough and rely on Self 2. Self 1 should shut up during matches.
