Although you must try to find the appropriate level for her so that she wins at least 40% of matches. Preferrably around 60%... If you cannot find official matches, have her play practice matches with players of the same level. Also, don't neglect having her play with an ocassional lower level player and ocassional higher level player. Hi Arkadi,

Hitting a reasonably fast serve into that small service box takes a lot of practice... Hi Richard,
