Move continuously at 50–60% effort: brisk jog, side-shuffles both ways, carioca both ways, skipping with arm swings, then three short 5–8 m accelerations.

Strong topspin and slice backhand, solid forehand, reliable return, inconsistent but fast serve, and strong tactical understanding.
Double faults and lack of serving consistency, mental consistency, poor net play and smashing, forehand can break down, and struggles with high balls.
Great speed on first serve, can generate good pace and spin from the ground, excellent touch at net, and good slice.
Lazy footwork, tendency to push balls, no clear patterns of play, low first serve percentage, and inconsistent returning.
Reliable and heavy forehand, good movement, gaining competency in the backhand, and first serve can occasionally be hit with good pace.
Serve toss and inconsistency, second serve, topspin and slice backhands are not confident, returning slow balls, and feel at net.
Move continuously at 50–60% effort: brisk jog, side-shuffles both ways, carioca both ways, skipping with arm swings, then three short 5–8 m accelerations.
Warm and alert, not breathless.Keep it dynamic: walking lunges with rotation, leg swings, lateral lunges, calf raises, fence scapular push-ups and controlled arm circles.
Ankles, hips, upper back and serving shoulder.From split step: four forehands, four backhands, four return rehearsals and four serve shadows. Turn early, move behind the ball, contact in front, recover.
Forehand cue: turn early, create space.If a partner and court are available: 60 seconds mini-tennis, 30 seconds moving back, then 30 seconds normal baseline hitting.
Height, clean contact, active feet, recover after every shot.Hit about 3 serves at 60%, 3 at 75%, 2–3 match-speed first serves, and 2–3 second serves with generous net clearance.
Find timing before chasing pace or winners.
