Right now, let's get into today's tennis tip from RSPA Certified Tennis Pro, Rob Carver.

Speaker: 00:00:30

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker: 00:00:32

Hi, I'm Rob Carver, author of the book, "366 Days of Tennis," a tip a day to improve

Speaker: 00:00:39

your game.

Speaker: 00:00:40

And today's tip, going to help you make an impact, an impact especially when you're returning

Speaker: 00:00:44

serve.

Speaker: 00:00:46

Your opponent missed the first serve.

Speaker: 00:00:47

Guess what?

Speaker: 00:00:48

Now's your chance.

Speaker: 00:00:49

I want you to be aggressive with that return of serve.

Speaker: 00:00:52

Take it down the line early, lob down the line early, return and come in.

Speaker: 00:00:57

You want to make an impact.

Speaker: 00:00:58

Now, if you miss those shots, lose the points.

Speaker: 00:01:00

I don't care.

Speaker: 00:01:01

But what happens is that server knows that you're being aggressive on the second serve.

Speaker: 00:01:06

That puts more pressure on their first serve.

Speaker: 00:01:08

So if they miss the first serve, they're getting nervous because why?

Speaker: 00:01:11

Because you're making an impact.

Speaker: 00:01:13

Take some chances early.

Speaker: 00:01:15

Step in early.

Speaker: 00:01:16

Take a chance.

Speaker: 00:01:17

Move in.

Speaker: 00:01:18

See how it affects your opponent's first serve.

Speaker: 00:01:20

And you might win a lot of their second serves.

Speaker: 00:01:23

As always, have a great day and hang tough.

Speaker: 00:01:25

Well, there you have it.
