Strength rating

The report is built automatically from match analyses and results: metrics are compared with the average of all players in the database. Useful both for the player (what to work on) and for opponents (how to play against).

Strengths

  • Service holds: 65% (database average 57.6%)
  • Break points saved: 57% (database average 50.9%)
  • Winners per match: 16.5 (database average 12.3)
  • Main weapon: Víbora (23% of winners), Forehand volley (11% of winners)
  • Deciding sets: 6–4 (60%)
  • Comebacks after losing the first set: 2

Areas to improve

  • Unforced errors per match: 16.7 (database average 12.1)
  • Most errors come from the “Backhand volley” — 27% of all errors
  • Against pairs with a left-hander: 1–2
  • Lost after winning the first set: 3 time(s)

How to play against them

  • Play low at the feet at the net with chiquitas: volleys are a source of errors.
  • No short lobs: finishes points overhead. Lobs only deep, into the corner.
  • Don’t give up the net: when at the net the pair wins well above average.
  • Errors lean to the right side of the court (91%): direct play there.
  • Put the left-hander on the side from which they attack cross-court.

Drills for areas to improve

Net · Backhand volley
  • Low volleys: the partner hits a chiquita, the task is a deep block without attacking.
  • 2 vs 2 “net only”: a point counts only when won with a volley.
  • Reaction: quick volleys at close range, 4 sets of 30 seconds.
Baseline · Backhand
  • Off the glass: ball off the back wall, hit at the feet of the net player — 4 sets of 15.
  • Double glass: the coach hits into the corner, the player turns and answers with a lob.
  • Backhand control: 50 cross-court shots in a row without an error, then down the line.
Overhead · Bandeja
  • Bandeja from the basket: 3 sets of 20 balls; aim for depth beyond the service line, not speed.
  • Footwork under the lob: side-step back, hit, return to the net — 10 reps in a row.
  • Smash to zones: the coach feeds lobs, the player hits to the given corner (cross / middle).
