Players should be looking to get on top early in the point. A good serve can set this up but this then needs to be followed up with a solid second shot. Also we should always be looking to take advantage of short, below par serving.
What's in the Session?
Tennis, especially on a higher level, is based on short points and offensive tactical solutions. Players should look for opportunities to use power to put pressure on an opponent and force them into making a mistake or provide another easy ball.
