Get better at tennis

In the past, when playing matches, I push-served my 2nd serves in order to avoid double fault. I also hit the forehand shots too soft due to lack of confidence.

Today, I replaced all my push servces with kick services in my second serves. I occasionally got double faults, but now they don’t matter to me. I could see my kick serve improving. I also tried to pound my forehands occasionally. This gave me more confident during matches.

Areas to work on:
1) forehand
2) 2nd serve (kick server)
3) playing match (mentality)

I have until mid-October, when the season closes.
