Strength: good angle at attacking
Weakness: Difficulty at John Pahl's looping, made me mad; hate Ray's long pips.
Hopefully, could get over the above by the end of the year, my goal so far.
 
common mistake people make when playing with me:
#1. People often underestimate women
#2. A point ending shot does not have to be powerful,
    placement is just as important.
 
Favorite shot:
Forhand shot to the left corner & down the line.
Favorite serve:
Alternated side spin and deep spin.
Overall strategy: quick & effective adjustment to serves & create oppotunity to attack.
 
Strategy against higher rating: try not to be attacked;
Strategy against lower rating: try to attack at targeted angles with less mistakes.
