Ultimate Secrets to Winning Matches
The goal is obviously to win when playing tennis, after all, who really enters the court
with the aim of losing a match? If you're like most typical players, you need all the
help you can get to win some games because you may find yourself up against a
player who seems to crush you the split second you serve the ball and give you the
chance. feel like there's no way. possible for you to really have a chance of winning.
Still, a few strategies can help you really make sure you can win, but they all involve
paying attention to your opponent, so you'll need to watch your opponent and study
how they play.
Your first step will obviously be to serve the ball successfully. If you can't serve the
ball successfully, you're going to continually start behind and find the whole process
rather frustrating. However, if you are able to serve the ball successfully, you will
start off on a very good footing. If you think your serve is weak, always practice
continuously until you get the power, speed, and accuracy you want on your serve.
Your next step should be to learn how to play from the baseline. It's a strategy you see
mostly in professional tennis, but think about it - if it works for professionals, it
should work for you too! Make sure you always hit the ball deep so you have plenty of
time to get back to your baseline on every shot, if you hit the ball shallow you're going
to lose valuable moments that would give you the upper hand when it's your turn to
return the serve.
The next objective you should have is to watch your opponent. Most players tend to
have a specific way of always hitting the ball. If you observe and find out what it is,
you will be able to start anticipating your opponent's moves and actions before they
even happen. It can be of great help to you, but it will take a lot of practice to hone
this skill. Once you've mastered the skill, you can expect to see the number of games
you win improve.
You also want to make sure your opponent hits as many balls as possible, especially
early on. You might be curious why this matters; after all, if you miss them, score a
point. Nonetheless, consider if they manage to hit all of your shots that they're
probably running around their side of the court like a crazy person. After a while, it
will become incredibly tiring. You want your opponent to start tiring in order to take
advantage of it. If they're fully alert and energetic, they'll be more likely to watch you
and see how you're playing. If they're tired, they won't care as much about watching
you and will instead focus on the ball or whatever catches their eye.
Just as you study your opponent's style of play, they are probably studying you. This
means you can't serve the ball exactly the same way every time, you can't return the
ball exactly the same way every time, and you can't play the same way for all of your
games. Someone will use the same strategy as you and they will tear you up in the
field if you do this. Instead, you need to make sure you shake things up sometimes.
Break out a new serve technique, try hitting the ball shallow when you usually go
deep, or even move around the court a bit. This will allow you to really confuse your
opponent so they can't read you as easily as you're trying to read them. Remember,
it's a sport and winning is a great feeling.
