Working on different tactical patterns is an essential tool to develop good tennis players. Players who have a lot of skills are more successful because they can adapt to different rivals and conditions with the same positive results.

Executing this pattern helps to get confidence with the forehand stroke as also it shows the opportunities to build the point with each next shot connected to the previous one.
