kana you're hot, unlucky btw and jason, no disrespect, but how the hell did you get beat off of him, he is terrible, he gets the ball in but he has no execution, you're a good player and you should have wiped him off the court, good luck next time
The guy jay played...im just a highschool varsity player, and a freshman...but from my experience, you said he can stand in no mans land and get everything back to the baseline, if he's doing that, you need to hit the ball with more power and spin it down to his feet, the only place he can hit it is up, then close into the net and finish the point. He was only a pusher, move him around and be consistent, it's as easy as that.
man hate those push and volleyers that constantly give you flat balls or paceless balls. people here who think they can beat this #1 seed guy easily is obviously very inexperienced in any real tournament or match play. these guys usually have decades of experiences and are especially deadly against Jason's extreme western forehand. But I really think a less extreme western forehand can help Jason with the consistency.
Thanks for all the support! The tournament included Open and NTRP divisions. The girl I played is from my home town and plays for Cal Poly. She told me she's been playing twice a day!
The guy Jay played had ugly strokes, but extremely effective. He could stand in no man's land and hit everything back to the baseline.
the top seed that jason played against was standing in no man's land all the time , jason should have hit balls low to his feet , kana good job but your opponent was pretty good
About the #1 seed...You need to be intelligent when you play...you don´t need pretty shots. For example do you think those moon balls on Kana match (much like Wozniacki) are pretty? Of course not...altough...they are effective as hell!
I'm guessing a lot of people here haven't played enough tennis to realize that there are tons of guys with ugly strokes that could still beat you. You never know for sure how the match is going to turn out until you play it.
We are proud of you two. The player that plays against Jason does not play with proper technique but after all it is a match and you need to score points. That girl against Kana seems to be a good player though. Again thanks for documenting your journey we are proud of you.
I don't want to be mean like everyone else but really, that #1 guy was really bad. He looks like one of those old guys that knows how to play but just bad.
Thought u both had some awkward opponents in terms of their styles.

Where's Season 3 of Gotta Want It?
Kana and Jason nice effort and thanks for sharing your journey.
One way to beat Jason's opponent is hit short or hit a nice low passing shot .
For Kana's opponent, only suggest hitting bh slices and fh baseline overheads if your uncomfortable with high loopy balls like me.
The most surefire way to improve is play against the people you lose too.
