OVERALL ABILITY ON THE COURT

I am a strategic player, I always look for my opponent’s weakness in order to work on it. My best shot is the drive, so I always seek to work with it to open the court, generate spaces and define the point. I like to define the points fast, so I am quite aggressive, however, I also work quite well the consistency to achieve good rallies and rhythm changes with the slice, the drop, etc. Which provides me with different types of game to thus pose different strategies during a match, and thus vary the game effectively. I have good speed and resistance, so I can reach complicated balls and resist a long match with a good performance. My backhand has good depth and consistency. On the other hand, I’m a persistent player who doesn’t give up until the last, which allows me to get out of intense situations like when I go down in a game. I’m also a player who manages to defend well when attacked and recover during the point.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

I am a person who likes sports very much, my favorites are obviously tennis, volleyball, and swimming. I love to travel and get to know new cultures that help to broaden my perspective of what the world is like. I like movies, series, and books. I like to be learning something new every day to help me grow as a person. Studying and training at the same time doesn’t leave much free time, however, the little time left I like to spend with my family and friends outdoors playing and sharing. I love animals and nature so I take care of both.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON

I consider myself a responsible, friendly, good companion and committed a person. I am a persistent person who always strives to give his best to fulfill everything he sets out to do. I like to help people when they need it. Whenever I am going to do something I like to do it well, putting all my effort.

STRENGTHS ON THE COURT

My greatest strength in the field is my drive; with the attack, I define, I defend myself, etc. My drive is consistent and at the same time aggressive, depending on the situation. When I am attacking for the drive I manage to open the court, generating spaces and defining the point with a winner with this same stroke. However, there are situations in which you must be more consistent so I use the drive with more depth and weight generating discomfort in my opponent to proceed to attack. Another one of my strengths is the change of rhythm with a slice of backhand, I use it on several occasions either attacking or defending. Because it is a blow that generates a lot of damage to the opponent I use it frequently. To finish, another strengths I have are the volleys and tops, these allow me to close the point quickly and effectively, and also provide good performance when playing doubles.
