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.
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 Hard, identify the repeated starting position and purpose of the first two shots before borrowing the pattern.
Compare matches against different opponents and keep only the choices that repeat.
