Tennis Tips
1. No matter how potent your offensive game is, you need a good defense
to be a competitive player.
2. When stretched for a ball, do not go for the dramatic “big shot”. Just get
the ball back and make your opponent play another shot.
3. Avoid the temptation of going for the lines too early in a point.
4. When you get a chance to take the offensive shot, do not hesitate, i.e. a short ball
around mid court.
5. If you build yourself a nice lead, concentrate on playing even more consistently. It is
the mental mistakes and attempting the wrong shots at the wrong times that is
unacceptable.
