The following observations are of course my personal view and do not claim to be the “truth”!
Here comes Koudai Hiraya (Japan?): Not much you can tell from just one match available …
Strengths:
- good footwork and general physical fitness
- very good forehand topspin on pushes
- good backhand serves
- very special, unusual and therefore awkward sidespin backhand pushes with long pips!
- very choppy side-spinny forehand defence
Weaknesses:
- many misses on returning serves and unforced errors when pushing
- backhand defense too inconsistent and often too high or long
Suggestions:
- should practice forehand serves
- should work on better returning serves
- should practice defending with backhand more consistently
