Scouting report
Consensus scouting viewStrengths
- Left-handed serve
Huge pace plus the lefty slider out wide in the ad court.
- Forehand
Raw racquet-head speed — one of the biggest forehands in the game.
Weaknesses
- Backhand consistency
Breaks down first when opponents target it repeatedly.
- Return positioning
Still learning to read patterns against elite servers.
