Tip of the Week: Do More of This
tennis player
Here is a list of things that can help you win your tennis match. These are listed in order of importance.
- Make more first serves than second serves
- Make more return of serves than you miss
- Hit more winners than unforced errors
- Serve more aces than double faults
- Make your opponent run more than you do
- Have more break point chances than your opponent
- Hit more shots from on or inside the baseline than your opponent
- Miss more shots deep than in the net
The more of these things that you execute in a match situation, the higher the chances of success. Tackle these one at a time!
