Morning IB66,
Thanks for the video post, N!CE W!N
Rai is a BH dominant plyr, taking balls at his middle with his BH (even during warm up). Also (3:35) your BH serve to his FH, he leaned to his right taking the ball with his BH and hit the ball way off your end, a pattern throughout the match
Perhaps the first game you were figuring out his game (not sure if you played him before), you declined opportunities
IMO Rai is a candidate for balls (your FH) dTL to his BH, then run him (i didn't see many evidence he moves well)
Your FH let you down in this match, were you warmed-up? eyes off the ball?
Your FH scoop backspin serve is deceptive & effective. By the middle of game 3, stick a fork in him. And nicely done with the side-top that got him to pop the ball out setting up game point. He miss his serve (third of the match) and lost thiis game
Game 4 Rai took the offensive (to come back), you retreated and blocked more. He also figured out (or at least more comfortable) with your FH scoop service series. This showed in game 5 even you won
Your serve (once again) won the day IB66 💪
QUESTION: do you have a dead in your FH scoop serve series?
