Rob Carver. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Hi, I'm Rob Carver, USPTA Elite Pro, and also author of the book, 366 Days of Tennis,

A Tip of Data Improve Your Game. And today's tip is called Setting the Tone.

You've seen it in other sports when the victorious team is interviewed.

Either the head coach or a star player will say, "We set the tone early. We kept our opponents

on their heels." So here's how you set the tone in your next tennis match. When you're at the net,

poach the very first point. It's okay if you don't win or lose, just try.

How about this? Taking the first, easy second serving, going down the line, or even lobbing

the net person. You want to set your patterns to play early and try to get your opponents reacting

to you rather than you counter-attacking. So remember, set the tone. Have a great day and hang tough.

Well, there you have it. We want to thank RreGeovinate.com for use of the studio and signature tennis for
