some good points here! and i agree the junior juniors mainly play baseline spin game and dont like variety, but in general my realization is at some point they learn how to deal with your slices and the slices dont bother a little bit better players, at some point this 12yo guy will understand that you very often hit short slices and that he need to stay a bit closer and bend the knees a bit more and then he will attack you with spin approach shots from your slices and that will be over for you… unless your slices are really super sharp. It looks your forehand is smth you can work on, if i see that you slice your forehand too often i would just start playing to your forehand 90% of time because i know that you would likely not harm me from there
Yeah this was at the peak of my forehand being garbage. One of the worst matches for my forehand. It has since gotten much better. It's still not fantastic, it has a long way to go. It's definitely much better than in this video, thankfully!
