    Great effort Amy. One thing I noticed here, is that when you have a chance to hit an attacking shot up the line, you had many opportunities to advance to the net but didnt, and ended up losing a few of those points. This is one of those matches where a few points make a difference. I really think you need to actively practice aggressive patterns, to get you to drag yourself to the net and finish points. Its a numbers game, and if you can win key points, this can make the difference.

    Amazing bounce back from the last tournament to make it to the finals! Your serve and that short cross court angle shot winner were unstoppable, and some really crazy rallies that you did a great job of finishing. Feels like your mental game is getting stronger each tournament - good adjustments throughout the tourney, the flip flop three setter semi's win and the finals to push her to the limit in the second set. Way to hang with someone in the 300's - you were there with her shot for shot, and you looked like you belonged. Really great stepping stone result - keep pushing for those finals experiences and building that focus/confidence, and you're gonna take one of these soon enough!

      Also, it looked like you got to the net a lot more this tournament than others, and you finished a lot of points at the net. Your net game is pretty strong! Was that a change in strategy?

      Yea I’ve been trying to work on my transition and net game a bit more and not just trying to bash from the baseline. Thanks for noticing! Haha

    Great run Amy! You're knocking on the door just gotta push your way through. Love your forehand by the way, very compact but potent. And as always, love the content. Side note, I love Ly's backhand. I'm a sucker for a one handed backhand.

    Little less pace and a bit more spin is a good tactic against many opponents. Cause some people feed off the pace.

    I love your videos. You remind me so much of my niece who had to give up tennis due to lack of funding. She is from Madagascar so travel and getting recognized is very tough. Anyway, you are an inspiration. But can I ask a favor. Please please identify yourself before each match. I have to work to figure out which player is you.

    Hate to see a hitter lose to a pusher...love your strokes but you are serving up the pace for your opponent to doink back. Need a little net, offpace, dropshot game for some free easy points....since your serve is so good too.
