1. GARCIA LOPEZ (vs Murray)

Dictates with BH.  Slower court and bounce seems to suit his timing.  Hits ball well on the rise
Also does a good job of mixing pace and direction on his BH.

Smart player who uses swinging volley appropriately.  FH is steady. His elbow is outside in his FH (like DelPotro) but without big power of JDP.

Doing good job of spinning BH and bouncing it out of Murray BH
Strike zone.

Not a great overhead.  Seems to have lack of plan on defensive lobs.

Vulnerable to FH on the run.  Hits them down the middle too much.

Sneaky first serve.  Second serve seems vulnerable.

Game plan: attack second serve and make him hit to his FH. During BH exchanges don’t let him push you backwards. Take ball aggressively on rise.

2. FREDERICO GIL (Vs Isner)

Challenge #1:
Gil’s patterns don’t match up well Vs Isner.  He has a strong BH he likes to hit cross court. Isner loves to sit in the add court creating short rally’s.

Gil FH is his weaker shot. He has trouble creating and opening up the court with his FH. Needs to get more courage going with his FH to Isner FH when angles present opportunity to run him.

Doing good job blocking FH return in play but doesn’t have strong enough hands to absorb power or drive return sharply with depth.

Runs well.  His footwork seems average on balls that are behind him.

Challenge #2

Serve games:  use effective body serves on first serve to control points and run Isner.  Courageous spin second serves with depth a varied locations away from his slot (FH btw upper shin and shoulder).

Game plan:

Sample Point Pattern:
Shot1: Body serve
Shot:2: CC FH
Shot 3: CC BH
Shot 4: Repeat Pattern

Keep to this pattern. When he starts breathing from his mouth You will begin to get free points on serve thus conserving energy for return games.

3. LUKASZ KUBOT (Vs Roddick)

Wheelhouse:  Seems to like the ball low.  He strikes Roddick slice BH very well. He has very long swing and can work a low bouncing ball.  High bouncing balls especially on returns seem to make him uncomfortable. He moves very poorly to neutral balls hit in baseline.

Doing a good job driving second serves right at Andy BH. Has a very efficient high FH volley.

Serve Games:  A lot of variety. Will mix speeds and spins as well as serve and volley. Comes to net a lot on second serves.

Needs to have time to measure shots during rallies. He does not move well and a below average athlete with an erratic game.

Game plan:

Serve well to keep him on baseline.  Create athletic points and make him move laterally. Low shot tolerance so the longer the rally the more errors you’ll get.

Keep returns down on Returns when you let good looks make him hit BH volley.

Very erratic player and high risk player stay patient with game plan.

4. MILOS RAONIC (Vs Federer)

Bludgeons his serve. Great wide serve to open court.  Has relentless and overpowering non-stop aggressive game: Serve and FH.  Gets a ton of service winners, aces and second shot FH.  Moves okay for long physique.

FH return is vulnerable because of big swing but go big into this side.  Serving him wide works well for second shot to get him on the run, especially on ad court to his BH. Second shot to FH has to be good. (angled or deep).

Does not hit BH well on the run. BH is by far weaker side.

Great 1-2 game when ball sits up.  Struggles with low balls in transition.  High center of gravity does not help his footwork and anticipation on passing shots.  He is a very poor player at the net with no instincts.

Game plan:

Hang tough on his service games
Take advantage of looks and direct aggressive returns right at him.

When in rallies take chances when ball is in your strike zone
And make him run.  Vary speeds and spins and continue to run him. Keep him off balance and guessing.

Don’t let him sit in corner and dictate play. When he is is in offense be committed to your defense.  Learning his patterns and extending rallies can pay dividend.

5. GILLES SIMON (Vs Isner)

World class pusher!

Does a great job on understanding court positioning.  Uses excellent footwork to absorb pace and lure opponent into over hitting.  Uses legs well to drive ball for change of pace especially off of slow ball.  Big swinging FH produces more errors.  Two handed BH is very reliable. Great hands on return. Hard to jam serve him on BH. Kick serves out oh his strike zone (knee to waist) are effective.

Drop volley is primary shot off passing shots.  Go at him hard with passing shots to get second look at second pass. If you dip/spin pass run hard anticipating drop shot.

Mixes serve speeds well.  Does not spin ball much.  You will get some double faults because he needs depth on second to be effective.  Most of his strong serves go to T on deuce court.

Game plan:

He will gift you under pressure!

On deuce court jam his FH side. Safe zone is kick to BH. He struggles with high bouncing balls above his shoulder away from his slot(knee-waist), especially on Ad court. Go hard on deuce court anywhere but jam to BH.

Acceptance is crucial. Stay patient and don’t let errors and slow balls frustrate you.  Treat them as you would powerful shots mentally (great shots).

Use your feet on slow balls to create confident cuts. Stay patient and don’t beat yourself up on misses. Intent is as important as execution.

Keep you inner dialogue on the task.

6. DENIS ISTOMIN (Vs Del Potro).

Has smooth game and nice hands.  Plays defensive style and likes position himself deep behind baseline during rallies.  Seems to be working on implementing aggressive game (taking ball earlier) on returns and rallies but is not comfortable executing.

Even keel temperament doesn’t give opponent read on his emotions.  Not a great athlete. Footwork suffers in spontaneous play.  Does not posses great hands or racquet speed but does have good feel for ball on string.

Gets nervy in 4-5 ball rallies and will try unnecessary directional change on his BH.

At his best initiating play with directional change and keeping opponents guessing with transition game.  Solid volleys on predictable passing shots.

7.  DAVID NALBANDIAN (Vs Nadal)

Superb BH.  Can handle pace. Mix speeds. Vary spins including touch. He does a great job oh handling Nadal FH cross court.  Plays aggressively. Creates opening rolling ball CC or redirecting up the line.

Serve
Mixes speeds and locations well. Not over powering but disguises intentions well so opponent can’t sit on second serves.  Getting good results serving to Nadals BH especially on deuce court redirecting second shot FH down the line.  This hard to execute.  He does it very well.

Return

Too many first ball errors of FH. Nadal put a lot of pressure on his FH getting timely errors.  His block FH return does not have a lot of purpose on high balls around shoulder height.  Much better playing aggressive on FH returns.

Does good job of redirecting FH once rally starts to control point flow.

Game Plan:

Serve needs to jam him on FH on ad court.  Kick it up high on deuce court to create defensive returns from his FH so you can control point flow/patterns.

He does have questionable shot selection under pressure (drop shots).  Fitness is improved but still questionable in long rallies late in match.

Pressure FH in neutral rallies with aggressive high percentage shots.  He makes error moving right to FH when he is pushed.

He is a tough fighter and has a lot of experience in long matches.

8. MARK LOPEZ (w Nadal) Vs. Querrey/Isner

Conditions:  Windy & Chilly

Great feel for court positioning and shot selection.  Playing style fits well with his partner. Their strategy of FH to the middle creates unorthodox yet effective strategy. Difficult to create angles against this team.  Lopez lures you into his FH (by far his superior stroke).

He has a clever net game with Spanish style volley (very close to net) where he can slap downward passing shots or dink angles.

Uses “I formation” well. He and his partner are very smart and will make you hit your weakest stroke and low percentage shot selection into their strengths (FH groundies) if your are able to start rally.

He has an below average serve that is effective because opponents get caught over hitting or trying to pass partner at net (tough without pace).

Game plan:

Avoid temptation to over think return games (run around BH over hit returns, try outrageous angles).

Formation Strategies:

Lopez and partner have FH down the middle:

Avoid low percentage directional change returns. Use CC returns to drive ball. On ad returns use BH return to find Lopez BH.  Also use topspin lob returns on second serve to avoid his partner at net and make Lopez create his own pace.

Lopez and partner have BH down the middle:

Target: Split them up the middle with all shots.  Lopez will have to hit BH or open up court by hitting run around FH.

Low bouncing slices to his BH on transition shots. Make him create pace and hit up!

1. Austin Krajicek (Vs Izak Van Der Merwe) / Day Match

Plays aggressive and with focus with his back to the wall.  Flat backhand. Good return.

Has trouble with slow bals in his backhand.  Tended to over hit on returns without much of a plan. This might have been because he was playing a serve and volley opponent.

Seems comfortable rallying with his backhand.  Surprisingly quick but seemed to tire on long his service games.

Likes pace.  Good FH return

Dynamite low BH volley and half volley.

Game plan:

He plays a very Bolleiteri style. Loves “cowboy shots”.  His box encourages winners on returns reinforcing low percentage strategy.

Engage in rallies he will give you errors if you can stay in patterns. FH is dangerous but inconsistent.

Tires on long service games. Hits a lot of second serves which will give opponent lots of opportunity.

When you have choices on passes hit to his FH below waste and above shoulder on BH volley. He has great touch on low BH volleys but is indecisive on shoulder height volleys.

2. Xavier Malisse (Vs K. Anderson)

Day Match: Warm and humid

Superb hands and very savvy player. Does a good job of using pace against opponent.  Best shot is his BH. Very flat yet versatile. Has a terrific slice that he keeps very low. Using his hands well on return.  He is vulnerable to off speed serves to his FH when he has to generate his own power.

Good mover who doesn’t seem to hit the gym much. Gets by with anticipation and his hands.

Needs to serve high percentage to stay on top of opponents. Serve games go in and out at times mentally. Vulnerable and predictable second serve.

He would be a scary player if he improved his fitness.

Game plan:

Stay aggressive on consistent.  Back him up on baseline.  He gets discouraged mentally with this relentless playing style.

Terrific hands a great BH with nice touch at net.  Put him on the run and make match as athletic as possible.

3. Mark Knowles (with X. Malisse) vs M. Mertinak & A. Sa

Night Match

Doubles player on the deuce court.  Opponents will jam him up on the body.  He can drive the ball on inside backhand return on occassion.  He spins his FH and uses angles to be effective.

Savvy guy who can use dinks lobs and slices to get cheap points. Hitting slower volleys to him with a little air under the ball are effective since he struggles to create his own pace off ground.

Great hands at net but seems susceptible to low volleys with pace.

Needs to serve with depth and deception to be effective so he can get a good look at first volley to control play.

Uses “Aussie” formation frequently to keep opponents from developing pattern on his serve games.

Game plan:

Find his BH on returns. Jam him up, mix speeds and spins. Struggles to create own pace so mix in junk to turn him into shot maker. Go hard at him when his partner is serving.  FH is suspect.

4. John Isner (Vs Anderson)

Night Match.

Seems to have shortened points even more this year. Great serve with impressive FH. Gobbles up second balls. Can create winners off slow, medium paced balls bouncing low or with underspin or  sitters.  Very impressive cleaning up points in transition.

Excellent FH volley touch.

Improved BH down the line.  Is indecisive at times in add court rally’s. (when to hit BH).

Struggles with inside out BH. Reaches at this shot producing errors.

Game plan: See Indian Wells Scouting Report #2 Gil vs Isner

5.  Marinko Matesovic (Vs Anderson)

Conditions: Cooler 70s day match.

Mentally aloof. Seems overwhelmed early in match.  Does not disguise his emotions.

FH is inconsistent especially moving right.  Likes FH in front of him.  Needs to stay aggressive  on his FH to be effective. Quick hands on BH return. You have to bounce it out of his zone to be safe.

Awkward serve motion leaves second serves in the zone. Hits high risk first serves with low margin. Misses a lot into net.

Drives BH well. Good timing and plays smartly with it. Returns well and can hurt opponent off BH.

Seems uncertain on what to do with floating transition ball especially under pressure. Can produce errors because of lack of purpose.

Game plan:

Unclear playing style and inconsistency makes him tricky to  play. Fast start will put you in drivers seat. Make him move to his right to hit FH.  Lure into transition shots. He does not have clear plan nor confidence in this scenario.

Stay patient you will get lots of second serve looks in your slot to give yourself opportunities to execute your game plan.

6. Andy Roddick (Vs K. Anderson)

Conditions: Night match cooler.

Great competitor who is smart and pays attention.  Has become more reliant on slice BH and likes to camp out deep behind baseline especially on return games.

Volleys smartly and finishes off points at net with decent hands.

Foot speed and movement is average. Strong athlete who competes hard with no quit.

Working hard on serves and returns in practice.  Stepped up on baseline for first 4 points of Anderson serve game Shanked a few body returns and stayed back the rest of the match.

Needs to continue to work on his hand and foot quickness on returns.

Game Plan:

Plays too defensive, especially on BH. Needs to learn how to drive medium to low bouncing balls with better timing and technique. Get him moving side to side in rallies.

Serve is still very big.  First is still monstrous. This is strongest part of his game.

Spins his FH too much. Ball lands to short. You can attack here to expose BH and move him laterally.

170 beats per minute + 75 degrees Fahrenheit + 1 opponent + 2 spectators + 7 used Gatorade bottles = ?

On a warm and sunny day in S. Florida tennis tournament I’m in the midst of a semi-final match hoping that my max heart rate will settle on my 25 second break between points. We are in the 3rd hour of this tussle.  I’m feeling self-satisfaction in that my recovery is brisk and my heart rate is lowering into productive range in the 140s.  I end up losing the match in 2.5 hours but I’m starting to see an equation in my conditioning that is satisfying.  I sit down a few days later and watch the near 6-hour match between Nadal and Djokovic in the Australian Open final and understand their pain and their motive (prize money, Grand Slam fame and fan adoration not withstanding).

As participants all we can control is our own effort and the satisfaction that comes from immersing oneself in the process.  Everything else is out of our control. Whatever your personal equation I hope your results have the satisfaction and fulfillment of a legendary Australian Open Final or a nondescript local tennis tournament.

Is a New Year’s resolution cliche?  Is it yet another cleverly disguised and sophisticated marketing strategy that inundates our media driven culture?  For me, I find them a bit redundant since I’m resolving and setting goals year round for my personal life, work and sporting endeavors.

If I have a goal I keep it attainable on daily and weekly plan. Do you recall an expression about trying to eat an elephant in one meal?  Yesterday, I entered my next USTA sanctioned tennis tournament.  I set an exercise regiment and meal plan to prepare for it and began this morning.  I will build on it each day over the new few weeks.   Once I’m in the tournament most of the work has been done in advance.  The tournament is the fun part for me. I enjoy the art of execution in a competitive environment which is the harvest of my preparation.  Once it’s over I’ll re-evaluate and build on what I started.  So whatever goals you may have this time of year try to enjoy your elephant one bite at a time in reaching them and don’t get discouraged if you have a minor set back.
