Here's my 2 cents worth of advice (25 years coaching nationally ranked juniors and a handful of ATP and WTA ranked players): You have solid technique in all areas of the court, and you're willing to grind out points where necessary. That's a good foundation. You need to keep practicing flattening out your shots on virtually all offensive opportunities (the "sitters"), including first serve points where you're ahead on the game score. It is better for your longer-term development to practice going for those and missing some than to play offensive opportunities too cautiously. Defense is clearly also very important, but it's hard to consistently make main draws of pro tournaments without confident offense. Your videos show solid improvement already, so keep it up! Best of luck at your upcoming Futures events!
Wow - what great advice! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback. I 100% agree with everything you said. Really trying hard in my sessions at the moment to take the ball on when it is there to be hit and just go for it. It’s great to read that you can see improvement. It’s sometimes hard to tell when you go out and practice everyday. But a benefit of making these videos is that from an outside perspective it might be easier to see if there is progress.

Appreciate it! Hopefully I can bring this level to the summer tournaments. Just got to keep focusing on improving a little bit each day.
