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 Hard, 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.
- Track where the left-handed serve moves the returner and which space opens for the next ball.
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 Hard, 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.
Notable numbers
- Reached a verified career-high singles ranking of world No. 39.
- This page uses 300 recorded matches from the 1973–1985 seasons.
