Tactical
Plays |
These are my 9
favorites tactical plays to work out with players in
all levels!!!
A) Simply to keep the ball in play anywhere on the
court. The purpose here is to OUTLAST the opponent ,
playing consistent tennis .Perhaps the simplest
tactic in tennis!!!
B) To consistently hit all the shots towards one
previously selected target
e.g.: opponent’s backhand.
The idea here is to test the opponent consistency in
that shot and, also to force them to make an error
or to hit a short shot .
C) To move the ball around the court trying to
outmaneuver the opponent. Here the player would have
to change spins, pace, heights, in order to
successfully accomplish this tactic.
D) To consciously set up the point to use the
favorite shot (weapon). E.g. Forehand inside out or
backhand down the line.
E) To bring the opponent towards the forecourt .The
purpose here is to take the player out of the
comfort zone (baseline) and, to test their forward
movement as well. In addition to observe the skills
that he or she possesses at the net.
F) Whenever possible to attack the net!!! Whether
serving and volleying or returning and coming in, or
attacking the very first short ball available.
G) Sneak attack tactic!!!! . Here the player will
try to sneak in by attacking the net whenever the
opportunity presents itself.
H) To try to overpower the opponent utilizing the
potency of every shot .
I) To play kind of neutral shots ( medium pace
required here) early on the point, and little by
little begin to accelerate the racket creating more
zip on the shots forcing the rival to hit short or
perhaps to commit an error.
