Demands on materiality on soil means that such sessions will only increase in intensity for accuracy and grinding. “In Juniors and in India, you mostly have to do more than 3,4,5,6 shots at a rally. There you grind properly and need to be smart about the movement,” she says.
Even slipping around the court and the wheel is making daily demand. Once again, lateral progress is made, and then lateral stragging on the clay. “They need to train us for some hard lateral movements,” says Maya, it requires proportional power training.
