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 your

Speaker: 00:00:39

game.

Speaker: 00:00:40

In today's tip, I'm going to give you an edge early in the match.

Speaker: 00:00:43

When you're warming up, stop focusing on how well you're hitting the ball or how you're

Speaker: 00:00:48

not feeling good about your strokes and pay attention to your opponent.

Speaker: 00:00:52

Find out if they like their 400 backhand better.

Speaker: 00:00:54

How do you do this?

Speaker: 00:00:55

Hit the ball right at them.

Speaker: 00:00:57

If they move one side or the other, they'll tell you what shot they like the best.

Speaker: 00:01:01

Also pay attention where they hit their first serve.

Speaker: 00:01:04

Most players hit their favorite shot the first time they serve.

Speaker: 00:01:07

Pick up on these little cues and warm-ups.

Speaker: 00:01:09

Share them with your partner, which is very important, and that's going to give you an

Speaker: 00:01:13

edge.

Speaker: 00:01:14

Rather than worrying about your game, you'll find out your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

Speaker: 00:01:18

All right?

Speaker: 00:01:19

Have a great day and hang tough.

Speaker: 00:01:21

Well, there you have it.
