USTA season is upon us.  Match play can be an exciting experience, but it can also put a lot of unnecessary stress.  As someone who used to put a lot of pressure on oneself, it took away from the moment until the second set. Here are a few pointers you can use before/during a match that might aid you to having more fun/confidence/success.

Before a match, make sure you take care of any existing injuries.  You want to make sure you are physically ready to go.  Eat a good meal the day of the match with more carbs, some protein, and less fiber and fats.   Fruits and granola bars are perfect.  Positive reinforcement through visualization is important.  It will build confidence and also put you in a better place mentally.  Warm up with your team before the match so that your body is ready to go! 


During warm up, keep an eye out on your opponent.  You know your strengths and weaknesses, but you don’t know theirs.  Maybe they have a weak backhand, keep a note on it.  If you are playing doubles, make sure you tell your partner what you have observed.  


During the match, play with your strengths, this is what brought you many victories! Be aware of the score; having big leads could take a lot of pressure off you, this is a potentially dangerous spot.  Keep the pressure as if it were a close match, that way you will perform with more intention.  Scores at 30-30 or deuce are important moments.  Play the high percentage shots, then attack when given the chance.  Try to be level-headed.  Catastrophizing yourself is the last thing you want to do, and most likely the match is handed over.  Take a deep breath and focus.  And most important of all, have fun!  


After the match, make sure you static stretch and have a beer, cheers!

Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi!  It’s time for the Australian Open, and it’s already 2023. 

A fresh start to a new year, there’s already a thirst for blood for the first Grand Slam of the year.  

In the men’s draw, it will be a tight race for the final spot.  My favorite to win it is Novak Djokovic, who has been waiting to make a statement that he is still the one to beat.  With Novak gone for 2022, we will witness his determination and preparation to be back to the big stage.  Right behind him, I put the Spaniards Rafael Nadal (2022 Australian Open winner) and Carlos Alcaraz (2022 US Open winner) as a close second to win it all.  As he got a taste for a Grand Slam final, It will be interesting to see if Nick Kyrgios will rise to the occasion.  Some notables would be: Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner, Frances Tiafoe, and Holger Rune.  

With the retirement of Ashleigh Barty, Iga Swiatek is the one to look out for.  She has been stellar during the 2022 season, bagging 2 majors with a record of 67-9.  Iga has given me flashbacks of Justine Henin Hardene, and she is my favorite to win it all.  Ons Jabeur (first Arab to reach a Grand Slam final) and Caroline Garcia would be my second picks.  The notables would be: Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka.

Just like how we have personalities, strengths and weaknesses, tendencies, so does our game.  It is good to evaluate who we are as a tennis player.  There are many personalities in tennis, serve and volleyer, aggressive baseliner, counter-puncher and all-court player.  Once you have chosen which playing style you have (or want), the next step would be to see what your weaknesses are.  Just like problems in life, we tend to do the same things with our tennis game-neglect or change.  

Technique – this would be the first thing to evaluate when working to fix one’s weaknesses.  One easy way would be to record how you hit the ball.  An easy way would be to put a camera either behind or next to you to view what needs to be changed.  Maybe you’re not getting under the ball enough to get a topspin forehand.  Or your serving toss is low, so you rush to hit a serve.  It is hard to see and feel when there is no tape to look back in slow motion.  

Practice – When the technique is corrected, the next step would be to practice, practice, practice.  Teaching tennis brings me back to when I was a young player, repetition is the name of the game.

Perform – Now it’s time to put your game to the test!  An easy way to evaluate if your weaknesses are becoming a strength is how much confidence you have.  One way to remember would be to write down what went right and what went wrong after a match. 
Tennis is an intimate relationship, sometimes it’s a love-hate relationship.  Miss a couple easy forehands, and you’re starting to bark at yourself.  Always try to remember to keep a level-headed approach to the game and have fun; if not, then you’re playing 2 against 1- your opponent and yourself vs you.

Whether you are an avid doubles player, primarily play singles, or a junior player trying to improve your game, knowing how to play at the net is key to advancing to the next level. By having a good net game, you can play more aggressively, shorten points, run less, and win more. Here are a few tips for better volleys:

Grip – When hitting volleys, it comes down to quick reactions and control. Hence, you should hit your volleys using the continental grip. The benefit of using this grip is that it is easy to set up, and you don’t need to change it between your serve, forehand volleys, backhand volleys, and overhead.

Preparation – When preparing for volleys at the net, have a wide stance, knees slightly bent, bodyweight in the front of your feet, racket pointed forward with the head tiled up, and your non-dominant hand cradling the throat of your racket for support. Make sure to split step as soon as the ball is hit in your direction.

Body Position – Once you’ve identified whether you’re hitting a forehand or backhand volley, you need to turn sideways at about a 45° angle from the net. Likewise, your feet should be staggered at the same 45° angle as well.

Technique – When hitting a forehand volley, open the wrist so the racket goes to the side and parallel to the net. Keep your wrist locked when making contact. For both the forehand and backhand volleys, any movement in the arm should come from the shoulder. Keep your elbows tucked in at the start, and make contact with the ball in front of your body. One of the most common mistakes I see is play ers bringing their racket too far back when hitting a volley, which results in making late contact and loss of control.

This past Monday, play commenced for the last Grand Slam of the year, the 2022 U.S. Open. This tournament is intriguing for a number of reasons. First, it will be Serena Williams’ final grand slam, as she plans to retire from tennis. Next, Novak Djokovic withdrew prior to the start of tournament due to travel restrictions into the U.S. Lastly, several big names have already lost in the first week, including: last year’s winner Emma Raducanu, 2018 and 2020 U.S Open Champion Naomi Osaka, second seeded Anett Kontaveit, third seeded Maria Sakkari, seventh seeded Simona Halep, fourth seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, and tenth seeded Taylor Fritz.

My Prediction for the Men’s Draw: With Djokovic absent and Nadal having suffered an abdominal tear during Wimbledon earlier this year, the odds-on favorite to win this year’s U.S. Open has to be Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev is last year’s champion, and most recently had a semi-final showing at the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati. He is in-form and has the game to excel on hard courts. My dark horse pick is Nick Kyrgios, who most recently defeated Medvedev at the Masters 1000 in Montreal. They have a potential meeting in the Round of 16. 

My Prediction for the Women’s Draw: Iga Swiatek, the number one seed, is still in it, but faces Sloane Stephens in the second round. After taking out the second seed, and if she continues to win, Serena may not face another seeded player under the Quarterfinals. But I am going to go with Coco Gauff. She faces another hard-hitting American in the third round, Madison Keys. If she can get past Keys, I think she will have a smooth road to the finals. She made the French Open finals earlier this year, will have the crowd on her side, and she is hungry for her maiden slam.
