You are still young and in the process of learning. concentrate also when to come to net and play a volly, also cross court from base line. You can be a good player, if you improve y our ist service. Continoue your efforts to become 10 now and then who know one day No.1

Are we having fun yet?
Homework: Video Analysis (preferably you)
If you have a tape of yourself watch it and see how many times you could have come to net, but didn't. If you don't have a video of yourself find one of Agassi. He was half the player he could have been. He was The Master of creating the opportunity to come to net, but wouldn't ... and then often ended up losing the point instead of having an easy volley.
Remember: The absolute goal of any point in tennis is to produce the opportunity to hit a volley or overhead, but this will never happen if you are at the baseline.

Sooper Looper Challenge:
You hit 10 sooper loopers to an opponents backhand as an approach shot and see how many points you win. Reverse 10 points so you are convinced how hard it is to defend against someone at net. Once you believe, hit at least every other point. You will become #1 instantly. Now go do it!

You v. Kuznetsova (US Open)
STATS:
When you got your 1st serve in you won 69%.
When you got your 2nd serve in you won 40%.
What does that tell you?
Ditch the big 1st serve and concentrate on an identical 1st & 2nd serve to gain consistency so you stand a better change of getting your 1st serve in. You are a PRO. There is no excuse for any pro not to hit 85% first serves. 54% is unacceptable! sorry, but it is.
NET: 12 times at net is why you lost.
You will NEVER beat a better player from the baseline. You MUST take you chances at net.
RULE: If you are going to lose a point - lose it at the NET!

Theory: It's not about power, but statistical advantage.
It's simply too hard to hit more aces and winners. It's far more important to reduce errors. That's much easier.

The good news: Continue to play the same and you will continue to beat the people you beat.
The bad news: You will continue to lose to the people you lose to.
Therefore ... you must change.
Lesson 1: First one to the net wins.
Lesson2: You will never beat a better player from the baseline because they are more consistent.
Lesson 3: You should never hit winners. You will hit too many losers.
Lesson 4: Do nothing more than put the service return in play.
Lesson 5: Your 1st serve should be identical to your 2nd serve. A big spin serve moved around the box. Consistency is key - not aces.
Lesson 10: Sooper Looper. This is an extreme topspin lob hit to your opponents backhand as an APPROACH shot. This should be hit as often as possible. Winning percentage is 70+%. With this % hit every third point = the #1 player in the world statistically.
There's more.
