ABOUT

UTR: 10,32 singles 10,05 doubles


OVERALL ABILITY ON THE COURT:
I base my game on really solid baseline shots. With my forehand, I always try to command, be aggressive, and find spaces, while with my one-handed backhand, I am consistent, playing deep and changing the heights and angles with my slice. As a player, I take every opportunity to finish the point in the net. In return, I seek to be aggressive, sometimes returning inside the court to attack and take time away from my opponent. With my serve, I’m decisive; I can hit big serves in all directions and manage all the effects, like slice, topspin, and kick. I combine these aspects with efficient footwork and movement. In tactics, I could say I am an organized player who does not make many hasty decisions; I prefer to be patient and work for the clear spaces. 

I'm really competitive and disciplined; my main goal is to always get better on the court in every possible way, and I work for it.

STRENGTHS ON THE COURT:
My serve is definitely my biggest strength. The first serve is full of power, which gives me a decent number of free points or the chance to attack and command the point from the first shot after the serve, which gives me confidence to play the key points with my serve.  Another of my virtues is my forehand; I use it as my primary weapon on the baseline, with excellent quality and acceleration that help me find more space and win the point. My other great strength is my attitude; I remain calm and try to stay positive and focused. At the same time, I am a warrior on the court and don't give up. I like being very competitive and giving my best until the last ball.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST
I have always been a real sports fan. Since childhood, I have played soccer, basketball, ultimate, etc. At this point in my life, I’m very interested in golf; I practice almost every weekend. 

I have also developed an interest in books. I really like to read in my free time, especially self-improvement literature and philosophy material.

Sometimes, in my free time, I play the piano. I have been playing piano since I was 3 years old, and I don’t miss the opportunity to play, practice the songs I know, and learn some new ones.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON
I would describe myself as a calm, tranquil person, a hard worker, and very disciplined. I have been developing a strong work ethic and values to achieve my objectives. For me, when you give your 100% in every activity, nothing is defeat or failure. My main goal in life is to get better as a human being (as a person, tennis player, student, son, etc.), which brings me a sense of fullness and motivation. I am sometimes a rigid person; I really like to have everything that depends on me be perfect. I prefer to have routines and make the most of my time. I can seem a little serious when you don't know me, but once I have confidence, I am an amiable, extroverted person. My family is an essential part of my life. I give them everything I can.
