What to watch

A result-based profile built from surface results, rankings, titles, and playing hand. Missing shot-speed, spin-rate, and point-pattern data are not invented.

If you are new to this player

  • On Grass, follow the player’s starting position and first two shots after the serve or return.
  • After a lost point, look for a change in serve direction, return position, or rally height.
  • Follow the sequence that moves the opponent to one side before the direction changes.

For a closer look

  • Separate first- and second-serve points, then log return position, rally direction, and the third ball.
  • Distinguish the ball that turns defense into neutral play from the ball that starts the attack.
  • Compare serve location and first-attack direction before and after break points.

What to borrow for your game

  • Copy the sequence of preparation, contact point, and recovery rather than only the final shot.
  • On Grass, identify the repeated starting position and purpose of the first two shots before borrowing the pattern.
  • Compare footage from different career stages to see how positioning and shot selection evolved.
