Swinging in the Zone: Mastering Tennis on Diverse Courts & Swings

Always try out the court surfaces in tennis

before you play a match.

Clay courts make the ball bounce

differently from other tennis court surfaces.

Every player has their

favorite surface to play on.

Great tennis players will

have an arsenal of tennis swings

in their game to choose from.

Just be a respectful player when you

Kick serve and

Lob the ball wide and high, it should

make it hard for the opponent to return.

Nail-biting points are a thrill to watch as the player

outmaneuvers their opponent with

power and strategy.

Quick on the feet is a skill for

rallies and sharp returns.

Smashing that

tennis ball back will be the

ultimate

victory!

Warming up well should always be part of the

x-factor in your game.

You will be invited to play in many tournaments because you are in the

zone!

    Warmups & understanding the surface are important. Arthur Ashe was one of my favorite players growing up. He never seemed to be able to beat Jimmy Connors whenever they met in the finals. Until his trainer noticed that he always came on strong toward the end of their matches but was too far behind to come back. So before their final at Wimbledon he played tennis for an hour before their match began. Connors was the overwhelming favorite & had not dropped a single set in any of the preliminary rounds. Ashe was seeded sixth. He beat Connors in four sets.

  • This is good advice, and if ever I play tennis, I'll keep it in mind :-D xx

    Another great abecedarian entry! I saw one lil' glitch you might want to check out: "Lob the ball high, which making it hard for the opponent to return easily." This is something I would've missed in one of my own.
