The available footage of Nan was shorter, so this should be treated as initial observations rather than a fuller assessment.
You showed a calm and compact style. You reacted well to balls around your body, maintained a really good lower stance and was willing to move forward. You also demonstrated good ball tolerance and did not appear rushed into trying to finish every point.
Strengths
- Calm approach during rallies.
- Compact paddle action.
- Useful lower stance.
- Good control around the body.
- Willingness to advance.
- Patient shot selection.
- Provides stability alongside a more aggressive partner.
Development priorities
- Return the paddle to chest height after every contact.
- Advance at a similar speed to the partner.
- Split-step before playing while moving forward.
- Remain compact during faster volley exchanges.
- Become more purposeful with attackable balls - usually hitting down first wins the point.
- Direct volleys into spaces instead of simply returning them.
- Move laterally with the partner to close gaps.
Nan’s compact technique provides a really strong foundation - it's hard for most of us to play like this :). A more consistently prepared paddle and slightly more purposeful placement should help you turn that control into pressure.
Simple cue: “Paddle up, step in, stay compact.”
