Very good 3.5 match. Your missed volleys are almost all into the net. What happens is that a player moves to net, but doesn't step into the volley. Therefore, the ball dumps into the net for lack of speed when struck. But, the main thing that keeps people at the 3.5 level is lack of footwork. If you have the time and desire, look up some movement drills, do them, and put them into your matches.
Thank you for taking the time to provide me feedback. I have been practicing my volleys for the last few months whereas before I only practiced serve and ground strokes. Trying to make progress via footwork is a big step to get myself to 4.0! thanks and happy new year.
Great match to watch. Enjoyed it. Your technique is improved greatly. Good to see you going to the net and hitting down the line shots. Some days they work some they don’t and it costs the match. So what at least your are trying to improve. Keep working on moving the opponent around and nail down the net game. Your serving was solid and backhands crisp! Forehand looks like you are starting to take the practice swing to the game. Soon the caveman will be gone!
Nice growth as a player. Form has come up these months. I think 2 things you could quickly do to improve notoriously are: 1. Tuck your left arm when you hit the forehand. On purpose. Right now it's hanging there and goes behind. It'll make a world of difference. More balance and more force going forward. When the arm drifts away you over rotate and lose power. 2. Play mini games to work on your slice shots. Only way to build the feel is to play touch games, start every session with them. 1 month in you won't believe the improvement. 3 months and you are a whole different beast. Will be able to maneuver those low balls with slices. Moving the ball around, lowering it and complicating your opponent. Good luck.
i notice that you tend to take your groundstrokes when the ball is past the apex and when it's already started to dip, i think just taking them at the apex would take time away from your opponent
Are there leagues out there where you find someone in the same rank? Is it through the atp website New to the sport and looking for competitive / accurate talent
There is something called Terrys ladder, you play with others in same level. There is also USTA which is what I am doing here. Also can try UTR website. And there is also play your court that is always advertising on UA-cam. I think try one of those or start by asking tennis players in your local club who you can practice with. I hope this helps.

This is almost 4.0. Just needs to be a little crisper.

Topspin.....you'd be a better player if you weren't paying more attention to your watch than the match!! LOL Just messin' with ya! 🤪
@@Volkl30 hahahaha. It’s how I enter the scores for SwingVision app.
3.5 really
Yes. Why what would you rate it?
Film yourself. Game is so slow as we are used to watch pros. They plays faster than it looks.
@@DATennis this is so true
