Player 1 starts on the tramlines opposite the coach.
Coach feeds the ball across the court for player 1 to run on to and hit a deep running forehand to player 2.
A rally continues until a point is won.
After the point is won player 1 retreats to their starting position, player 2 joins the back of the queue, and player 3 joins the drill.
Repeat the drill until all players have played player 1.
Rotate players and repeat the drill.

With Roland Garros centre stage in May, clay court tennis demands a different toolkit: controlled sliding, longer rallies, and patient point construction. Here is how to coach the surface that humbles power players and rewards craft.
