hey everyone, i just want everyone to list like 5-10 things that Andy has improved recently. not just because he changed coaches, but just to see his improvement when comparing to last year or the year before. here are mince( btw a little sentence or 2 would be nice
)
1) the noggin- obviously the one that stands out the most. extremely focues now, mind doesnt wander. he doesnt make things get to him as easily as before
2) backhand- like night and day. it was pretty abysmal before, but now its turned into a steady shot, and sets up the forehand nicely. and wow those backhand down the line shots. its becoming more of a weapon, just not there yet
3) confidence- it has sky rocketed and this is what pushes him to win.
4) becoming the best- he now has the frame of mind to become the best he can and this is pushing him to do better every single time
5) serve- yes believe it or not, the serve. extremely high % of them in, considering the speed he gets on them. varying them much better this year. using the off-speed ones and the ones out wide very well
6) better shot selection- actually setting up points better. not going for the winner when there's a huge opening, but plays a good deep ball, which ends up being a winner anyways
, but is a more careful shot which can easily be put away again if the other dude hits it back
7) movement- was already a pretty decent mover for a dude with that kind of stature. dont know why people say his movement sucks. hes getting more balls back, and looks quicker on the court
8) volleys/net play- we're getting there. should see some major improvement here since he had 2 weeks to train with Brad and include some new shots
uh........can't think of more, im sure there r some others, and plus its late and im tired
so everyone share ur opinions. they dont really have to be in order or anything, just list them and stuff
