Playing tennis is funny, but, like every sport, the real fun begins when you start winning. Who wants to play when you lose everytime? And if you want to win there are three things you must have in mind while playing: you must send the ball cross court, you must put as many first serves in as possible and, most important, you must exploit the opponent's weaknesses. These are the most important things to have in mind when playing tennis. But what does this mean in detail? Let's have a look...
As already said, playing the ball cross court is fundamental for winning. The more tired the opponent is, the more chances you have to win the set and the play. Moreover, a good cross court ball is probably the most difficult ball to hit correctly in the whole tennis. It requires a great master skill of both the forehand and backhand, and just a simple mistake can put your adversary in advantage. Putting your adversary in a difficult position is the best way to have the game in your hands.
But playing the ball cross court is useless if you cannot hit the first serve of your opponent. A strong and fast first serve is the single most difficult thing to respond correctly in a tennis game. Especially if at an angle: try to surprise your opponent with strange angles on your first serve. Always bring your first serve to a limit, without pushing too far, because a strong first serve is useless if it makes foul.
Analyze always your opponent's play before every match. Find out his weaknesses and exploit them. Is he left handed? Then a good cross field shot is probably the best choice. Is he weak on his backhand? Then hammer him on that side until he cracks. And so no.
As you can see, the key principles here are all very simple. But be careful, because if you will adopt these methods this means that someone else may adopt them too: so be sure to be strong on cross field balls, to be able to respond well to strong serves and to have as little weaknesses to exploit as possible. This is the key to victory in tennis.
