Goals:
In the short team my goal is to improve my level by putting a bigger effort into my physical training, which I will use on the tennis court with improving my aggressive game. Technical I will keep adjusting my serve and return, while I’m conscious it’s key-factors in the tennis game. In terms of competition I will keep putting my time into German tournaments and team matches, while I know there is great experiences and points to collect.
