Hey, hey, this is Shaun with the Atlanta Tennis Podcast,

00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:11,040
Today's tennis tip comes from Coach Ben Hesley

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,300
of Bull Shark Sports.

6
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,280
Have a listen and let us know what you think.

00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,720
Hi, this is Ben Hesley from Bull Shark Sports.

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Today's tip, we're gonna be focused on holding return.

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,360
Holding return means winning our return games.

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Very similar to how you hear holding surf,

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440
we're focused on winning the games

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,520
in which someone is serving to us.

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,400
In B and C, out to levels and low levels

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440
of junior competition, this is often the case

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,920
because the surf is developmentally weaker

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,100
than other parts of players' games.

18
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,160
So it presents an opportunity to take advantage

19
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:55,000
of our opponent's surf and then break their surf

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,120
or what we like to call holding return.

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,760
So when you're out there playing,

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,400
think about how you can take advantage

23
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,440
of that weaker surf, attack that,

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,280
and then hold your return.

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Holding return is a concept maybe something I've not heard,

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,840
but holding return is really, really viable

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,400
in order to win matches at those B and C,

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,280
out to levels and those lower levels

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,000
of junior competition.

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,200
I hope this helps.

31
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,040
I hope that you learn to attack people's surf,

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560
be aggressive and hold return.

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,800
(upbeat music)

34
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,120
