Gabe Jaramillo The game has evolved even more in the past five years, the statistics at the US open 2016, the av- erage strokes hit in a point was 4, in the french Open 20016, 4 shot rally length were the majority of the points, this means that the first two shots the player hits are vital, for example the serve and his first shot after the serve will dictate if he wins or looses the point, equally is the same for the return- ing player, he most hit and aggressive return and that next shot after the return will win or loose the point. In today's game is not good enough to put the ball back in play, players have to dictate early and finish the point at the first chance. Before, the servers had the advantage, today the best players in the world are the good return- ers, statistically male players only win 48% of the time when they serve their second serve, female players only 42%. At the same time the best players today are the best defensive players, not because they push but because they give the opponents not angles to attack, they move extremely well and they attack and defend at the same time by taking the space away. The first four shots will determine the out- come of the point. Players have in general the same style of play, aggressive base liners, making the game more even in any surface and making the rivalries more fun for the fans. 6) Gabe Jaramillo Today I have my own Academy in Florida at the Club Med Sandpiper, I still enjoy developing talent- ed players and making Champions on and off the court. At the same time I write for Smash Maga- zine in Japan, Net 7 in Argentina, Tenisbrasil, Racquettech in Germany and I’m a contributor for the BBC World News radio. I give motivational speeches for companies, such as Neoris, Discovery Channel, Club Med, World City, comparing the experiences of Champions, how they train, how they prepare before a match, how they learn after each match and how these things relate to the business world. I specialize on talks to Parents from all over the world, in how they can help their children reach their full potential enriching their relationship. I make players, so I work with them for many years, girls from nine years of age and boys usually starting at thirteen. I work with them until they are around twenty years old, at that time they have enough money to hire their own private coaches. Some of the players I have worked for many years are: In the eighties Jimy Arias, Aaron Krick- stein, Carling Basset, Lisa Bonder. In the nineties: Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Jim Courrier, David Wheaton, Marcelo Rios, Monica Seles, Iva Majoli. In the two thousand: Mary Pierce, Jelena Jankovic, Max Mirnyi, Xavier Malisse, Tommy Hass, Maria Sharapova, Nicole Vaidisova, Kei Nishi- kori.
