Match Analysis

Jack: Can you write up an analysis of ALW forehand mechanics for this Gold Medial match that was played yesterday?

Hope: great in red match btwn alw and brooke buchner.
alw definitely taxed bb, forcing brooke to hit a high percent of back hands. every shot from both players was deep inches from sidelines and baseline. less forehand shots in this match yet always adjusting foot work first, then having paddle back in ready position and complete follow thru. every shot from each of these players took full effort. amazing by both. thanks for sending my way! h due to both players being completely 'stretched' and often forced to get shots on angles further from their bodies... they both had to add lift, lob or just get it over the net.

Jack: ALW game plan was to not hit to Brooke's forehand.

Hope: yes, i heard the commentators talk about alw's game plan. found it interesting to hear her self-talk during the game and see her reliance on her mom.
