This Mistake Ends 90% of All Singles Points - Tennis Singles Strategy

Do you want to win more matches?

Most players obsess over technique...

But there’s a ceiling for how good you can get if you aren’t making the correct shot choices.

In fact, 90% of all singles points end because of just one simple mistake.

Fix this mistake and you’ll win more matches.

In this short video, I'm going to show you how to fix this costly mistake.

This is one of the best tips i have ever heard. It seem like an obvious pattern mistake but players do this all the time without thinking

[ethans]

Tip: Don't try to hit down the line when you're going out of position. Instead always try to hit cross court shot to defense

[aisthpaoitht]

Here is my move: I go DTL with a high loopy FH. This gives me time to recover to the middle, gets the rally onto my opponent's BH, and keeps my opponent from attacking the ball. I anticipate the CC response and position myself to run around my BH and hit an inside out FH and take control of the point.

So true about attempting to go down the line, an added liability is that you're hitting over the higher point of the net, so your down-the-line could easily get buried in the net. Believe me, I know.

[Glanton]

This is a very good tip. One problem I constantly see however is that while tennis teachers expect all 4 / 4.5 players to be consistently hitting cross court, most of the players I play have no consistent pattern and drop balls all over the court with no real strategy. Cross court rallies are less common than people think

Great and simple video. Thank you both for all of the quality content you provide on this channel. I just subscribed to the offer and I am looking forward to learning from it.

[rishinatarajan]

Thank you for making this video. This and my self belief are what is lacking in my game which in turn makes me great in practice but not so good in tournaments.

I have legitimately done this at least once a day most of the days I've played this year. As I get more confident in hitting my targets it makes it even more tempting to go for the low percentage shots and shockingly they usually don't work out well.

I found your video on the 4x4 rule for shot selection super helpful. I play a baseline style and so actively trying to flatten out my clearance when I am pulled into the court more has helped me win a lot more points recently. I had been striking a lot of those still with lots of top spin which gave my opponents time to get to balls that should have been winners. Shot selection and positioning is something club players really under-estimate. We've all lost games to people who have inferior technique but make better decisions. Well I certainly have. :/

Good point, did not think about the option of hitting a high shot down the line to get out of the cross court rally, get the ball to the opponent's backhand, and have time to recover. Good job.

[ishvbhardwaj]

Hey scott and nate I am 5 feet 7 inches and I am an advanced tennis player . I had two questions -
1. I can hit both type of backhands comfortably , so if I gave both you to chose a faster and a deadlier type of backhand ?
2. I have my racket head speed is slow even I have lag and snap, I pause my arm at 5.30 clock position but still lack speed on ball, so what should I do because I choke a lot too?
3. Also which equipment is better dumbbells or toning resistance bands of same resistance level ?

[lilies]

Great vid! And a question: how should I defend if my opponent pulls me wide, and closes in to the net?

[mistergosu]

very true the mistake happens a lot. its just so tempting rip the ball down the line. my question is, how to win that cross court battle? any better option to put pressure on opponent? or just see who misses first? cheers ✌️

[subspacescout]

LOVE you guys.

Much LOVE from the USVI.

[davarix]

what about a wide-angle cross-court return to stretch them out of the court further to open more court for a winner?

[andreasdinnebier]

I‘ll probably gonna take the offer because you are maligne such Good contents

[vjrp]

really appreciate, wish i can give u 50 $, but out of money to even pay my sons tennis lessons bills, but thanks for all your lessons.
not asking for free stuff, just being honests...

[atheistcory]

It's not 90%!! That's just clickbait. It's maybe 30% at most.

[TacticalSpray]

Why would you put 'us' at the top of the court. We should be down the bottom.

[gustavobenites]

20% intro, 10% teaching, 70% selling. 😢

[subspacescout]

I call it hitting behind the player.

Best of luck out there.
