Love to watch that ball - gotta see if it's going in and admire my shot, slightly offended that my opponent keeps getting it back.

1.Beat the bounce
2. Beat the hit ( be ready before other person hits the ball ) recover quickly, move towards ball fluidly
3. keep the spare hand on raqute holding the frame on forehand and backhand because it allows u to coil to give more power
4. return with coming forward before the other person hits the ball
5. work practice on safer 2nd server by adding net clearance
and spin

Well done! 100% correct. We all make these mistakes (and see others make them all the time). Thx for highlighting them, together with your fixes.

If I were to add a Bonus No. 6 mistake, I would say this.

Players at all levels too often hit too flat of a ball with too less margin for error, generating too many errors. So the fix would be: Think intentionally about hitting more “up on the ball” to generate more topspin and benefit from more safety margin, and then execute!

Enjoyed this one! Would love to see a video like this focused on top mistakes when playing doubles specifically.

One of the best tennis coaching videos I’ve watched, thanks !!

[gerrysheridan]

Brilliant, I worked on mistake number two, stopped ball watching and got back into the ready position, which in turn helped my mistake number one, late contact. Suddenly I had so much more time to hit the ball, everything started to work perfectly. Just what I needed. Thank you so much.

Thank u one of the most useful videos I have seen on the subject. U have summarized it so well.

Great presentation of fundamentals often overlooked. I do like the starter step on serve return before making the split step. I've slowly implemented that and feel it gives me a little more rhythm in preparing to react to the serve. Also I do work on my serve nearly every time I go out to the court. My second is just about as effective as my first though I always hit a second with a little slice or kick occasionally. But what you say about people not practicing serves enough especially second serves is true. I'll tell you a mind set I brought into tennis from baseball. Okay when a pitcher gets behind in the count he doesn't dramatically reduce the speed of the ball or keeps about same speed and more less same with the serve. If you just hit 50 or so serves every time you come out which will take about 20 minutes you'll find yourself get more consistent and non chalant about keeping good pace on your serve. Hit some good hard flat serves and then hit some slice or topspin serves with the same arm speed. Then when you play you'll have a good first and second serve.😂

Great video, one of the best advice tennis videos I have seen.

[Hlaku]

It's like you see me and you told MY 5 biggest mistakes 😮

[mariasjosan]

Great observation & analysis & solutions as well.

[ntnnot]

Good stuff. Fundamentals, and easy to comprehend.

[Skipper]

The tips to correct are the real meat of the vid. Well done young chap. Bravo😊

[halilbolayrl]

Simple but very useful tips. Thank you !

[tensaijuusan]

Much appreciation for all these great tips. I have been attempting to follow these tips over the past few weeks as I am guilty of commiting all these errors and there is an improvement in my game no doubt about it. (70 years old, self taught, lefty pusher- the worst!)

[raulpalanca]

Very useful and straight to the point.

[amirsanchez]

Excellent summary. I am sometimes guilty of watching my shot instead of preparing for the return, and losing valuable time to get back into position.

[oliverbork]

Amazing video! I just missed a quick recap at the end

[paulmassey]

Definitely make 2nd service mistakes & found all other 4 mistakes really helpful

[Feliz-pw]

These are really the most common mistakes of club players, that I’m been trying to fight. Very clear. Good drills. Thanks from Lisbon.
