Anna Leigh Waters partner Will Howells hits a solid reset but she…
1) Recognizes it is a HIGH BALL and might have a high bounce which Jack Sock would possibly speed up.
2) She then takes a STEP BACK to give space for a counter
3) She is in READY POSITION and EXPECTING a speed up.
🔑ALL BASED OFF THE BALL THAT CAME OFF HER PARTNERS PADDLE. She did not touch the ball once while doing any of that.
KEY POINT 👉: This is all because she read the ball her partner hit and adjusted to the ball being high. If the reset was lower and unattackable she would have moved in earlier.
👉You see she later moved in as soon as she saw Lea Jansen have to take a defensive dink and stepping back off the kitchen line.
👉Even though it fell into the kitchen she knew the ball had a chance of bouncing fairly high.
👉This allows her to be “Faster” and ready at all times.
QUESTION: Anyone know why she bounces her feet in preparation for a counter?
