tt: strength/weakness
Strength  
good spinny loop, good serves, and I never give up
Weakness
Physical condition (this one I am improving),
don’t always make the best choices at the end of matches,
serve receive can also get me into trouble.
Common mistake people make when playing you
They underestimate the spin,
and they think I am done just because they have 10 points
Favorite shot
Forehand counter-loop
Favorite serve
short and long no spin
Overall strategy
place the ball better than the other guy
Strategy against higher rated players
play my game the pressure is on them
Strategy against lower rated players
find a serve that they really don’t like and make them
practice returning that serve
