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

Speaker:

Today's tennis tip comes from Coach Nathan Singleton.

Speaker:

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker:

Hello everyone, this is Nathan from First Serve University, your tactical specialist here

Speaker:

to give you more advice on how to win matches.

Speaker:

What do you do when your opponent takes you way off the court with a good angle and you're

Speaker:

trying to find a way back in the point?

Speaker:

You've probably been taught to loop it back or hit it harder.

Speaker:

Today I want you to think about an easier, more high percentage play.

Speaker:

I want you to hit that ball almost as hard as you can through the middle of the court.

Speaker:

What this does is it handcuffs your opponent.

Speaker:

They can't hit any more angles to put you on the run and most people will just have to

Speaker:

pop it up and give you opportunity to take back control and seize the point.

Speaker:

Most players think, "Oh, I've just seen to hit a better angle than they did or I'm just

Speaker:

going to blast this forehand down the line and often it ends up in errors."

Speaker:

Next time, hit that ball hard down the middle and see what happens.

Speaker:

This is Nathan from First Air of University, your tactical specialist giving you another

Speaker:

piece of advice on how to win matches.

Speaker:

Well there you have it.
