Tennis: Create Space & Hit

Thanks for everything! Sportplan has helped me to improve my tennis...
Andrea, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Player stands in the centre of the court.
  • Coach feeds balls from the basket to the centre of the court.
  • Player creates the space and hits backhand to the deuce corner.


COACHING POINTS

  • Here, the player works on their ability to hit a controlled backhand from the centre area of the court.
  • The player has to focus on creating the space to make sure that the ball is not hit too close to the body.
  • Hitting to the deuce court creates a possibility to hit the ball late so working with a position to hit fluently in front of the body are priorities from the technical perspective.
  • Additionally, players should remember that they shouldn't aim too close to the sideline because creating the angle is definitely more difficult from this position so it is more effective to focus more on depth to wait for easier ball to use a better angle to win the point.
