      "memo": "Okay, notes for Alex. Good session. The volleys are the strength, fast hands, good reflexes at the net. The bandeja is the problem: when the ball gets behind his shoulder he still hits it and it goes long, we counted six long in the last drill. He changes the grip late. On defence he stands right against the back glass, so every ball off the wall jams him. Next games: bandeja cross-court and deep, not for winners, one step off the back wall, and a split step every time the other side hits. Next time we do wall exits and bandeja under pressure.",

New since you: lobs were short because they came from the arm; Diego fixed it with the legs and Inés confirmed it. Open: going to the net together after a lob, worked on by Diego and Inés, still inconsistent in games. Diego suggests keeping the víbora for high forehand balls. Inés suggested a lighter racket and declared no interest. Suggested plan: full points that combine the bandeja and the lob under pressure."
