OVERALL ABILITY ON THE COURT:

I am a right-handed tennis player, with two-handed backhand. I am a great server because I have the ability to serve good serves with consistency and when I am serving I start the point from an beneficial position. I have a powerful forehand, and I can say that I have a better forehand shot than my backhand. This is because in my opinion I can trust more in my forehand shot. I have a good footwork, but I am sure I can improve it. I am very good at playing doubles because I have a great volley. Overall, I have an aggressive style of play.

STRENGTHS ON THE COURT:

One of my greatest strengths is my forehand, I use it as a tool to attack my opponent and finish off points. My serve is good as well, I do not serve many aces but I start the point from an advantageous position when I am serving.  I am not afraid to come up to the net to volley and I consider I am a good doubles player. Other major advantages are my perseverance and determination because I think I have the ability to fight for every shot, and I do not give up until the match is over.

WEAKNESSES ON THE COURT:

I struggle a little to finish off a match, I think I need to gain belief in myself when I am about to win a competition. Sometimes I get nervous before a game is over, so I have to work hard on self-confidence. Although I have strong groundstrokes, there is stillroom for improve my backhand. I find high backhand difficult.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

I like reading and making the most of my free time by getting involved in activities that help my personal and professional development. I like reading papers related to my COURT and the topics I am interested in. I am a great fan of tennis matches, so I like watching professional tennis players playing at important tournaments such as the four Grand Slam tournaments. I enjoy playing other sports like table tennis and football with my friends, and I love spending time with my family and sharing invaluable times with them.

DESCRIBE YOUR SELF AS A PERSON

I describe myself as a very responsible, respectful and competitive person. I like being the best at what I do and learning from the mistakes I make and the experiences, I have lived. Thanks to the values, my family has taught my experiences and me as a sportswoman, I have grown up as a person, and I think that although I am still young, I am very mature. I like standing out in the academic and sports COURT. Because I am always willing to learn, every activity I engage in has a purpose. I think I am determined, because when I want to get something, I do not give up until I get it.
