Episode notes
Exploit Low Bounce With Flatter Forehands
- Attack with flatter, lower-bouncing forehands into Sinner's forehand to force higher, attackable returns.
- Use hard, flat cross-court forehands from defensive positions to remove redirect angles for the opponent.
Middle-of-Court Pressure Works
- Playing deep up the middle on big points repeatedly disrupted Sinner's tendency to create width.
- Central, high-quality strikes forced Sinner into overplaying for width and produced critical errors.
Use Spot Serving On Break Points
- On break points, prioritize spot serving and bold second-serve targets to create free points.
- Use surprise serve-and-volley or hard second-serve placements to change rhythm and win big moments.
