Welcome to the Atlanta Tennis Podcast.

Every episode is titled, "It starts with tennis" and goes from there.

We talk with coaches, club managers, industry business professionals,

technology experts, and anyone else we find interesting.

We want to have a conversation as long as it starts with tennis.

Hey hey, this is Shaun with the Atlanta Tennis Podcast, powered by GoTennis.

Today's tennis tip comes from USPTA certified tennis pro Rob Carver.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Hi, I'm Rob Carver, author of the book, 366 Days of Tennis,

a tip a day to improve your game.

And today I got a great tip that's going to help you with something that happens to every tennis player.

You just called your opponent shot out and they immediately complain.

Rather than getting into an argument with your opponent,

just validate their concerns.

And at the same time you're going to squash them and move on to the next point.

Here's what you say when they raise an objection about your call.

You say, "Hey listen, I'm sure from where you are that shot looks in,

but from where I am I can tell that the ball is clearly out."

And just calmly walk to your position to start the next point.

All right? Have a great day. Hang tough.
