Tennis Singles Tactics

Why Tennis Singles Tactics?

Well, if you think that just turning up and hitting balls is good enough to win you a lot of matches then you are sadly mistaken.

Unless you are playing someone who is significantly worse, you will have to do more than just hit tennis balls.

You will have to think about what you are trying to do on the court and why you are trying to do it.

And that involves tennis singles tactics.

BEFORE YOU PLAY

The time just before you play a tennis match is actually much more important than most people think.

All the big players Federer, Nadal, Andy Murray, Venus Williams, Serena Williams etc all use this time to not only fine tune their bodies but also their minds and therefore their tactics.

They all know that by using this pre-match time effectively they can hit the court running so to speak and start the match well & with purpose.

They also know that by doing this it can have the effect of dampening the spirit of their opponents, especially if they have any self doubt.

It also is crucial for the players who are playing the "BIG" players.

They need to be 100% sure about what they are going to try and do otherwise they will be blown away for sure.

But what are the 3 things they think about and therefore what should you be thinking about before you head out to play your matches?

1. What are your strengths - you need to know these so that you can focus on using them. Think about it, there is no point having a strong tennis volley and smash/overhead if you never get yourself anywhere near the net!! Focusing on your strengths will help you to construct the game around them.

2. Watch the tennis ball at all times - most people I come across don't understand the very real difference between looking at the ball and watching the ball. Watching the ball properly will also help you to "frame" your zone of concentration correctly - more about this another time but believe me it's HUGE!!)

3. Never give up - don't forget that regardless of the score the tennis match is not over until the last point is finished. If you are feeling tired then your opponent probably is too. Instead of giving up if you are in trouble, try to think of ways to play/change the game to suit your condition/position.

4. Be positive - there is nothing worse than walking off the court after losing a match and feeling you hadn't really put in 100%. You need to believe in yourself and go for all your tennis shots. If you hold back you will probably miss anyway and that's a lot worse.

By the way I know that's 4 points guys :-)
