OVERALL ABILITY ON THE FIELD:

Firstly I consider myself a hard worker; someone that fights for each point, the main part of my game is my good attitude and my commitment. I’m an active player, constantly moving making my footwork the key to my shots. I don’t give up even if I am down and I try my best to think of strategies that will help me win. I am pretty fast and I tend to play on the base line, this enables me to not leave any part of the court open although, I am not afraid to approach the net.

STRENGTHS ON THE FIELD:

I’m a consistent player rather than a power player, I take the time to move the opponent around the court and build the point until I have the right ball to attack or change the rhythm. I use a great deal of topspin to create security. My forehand is my greatest weapon, I use it use it to push the player off the court or to attack. While I use my backhand more defensively to give me more time or to just be consistent. My serve is solid; I can accelerate or put really good spin on it to create security. However I think my second serve is the one I count on the most, it allows me to place the ball where I want with a lot of spin to push the player back.

WEAKNESSES ON THE FIELD:

High balls to my backhand create difficulty for my game, but when this is happening I try to move fast and do and inside out forehand or let the ball bounce and then hit it. Players that hit the ball very flat and deep also give me difficulties because I have a long swing and I find it hard to shorten.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

I’m an outgoing person who loves to be around people in a social atmosphere. Politics is one of my interests, I like to read and discuss associated topics. One of my hobbies is to write poetry. Read about politics, governments and social predicaments.

DESCRIBE YOUR SELF AS A PERSON

I’m a kind and helpful person; my family, school and sport are the most important things to me. I am a dreamer, I like to plan my life but I know that I have to work hard to get them, however realism also makes up my personality
