Fitness

2011-03-14T05:42:00.000-07:00

Fitness plays a very important part in winning games. You should have a regular physical training in running 20kms a day, weight training, light weight training for female players, skipping rope, push ups, cycling or treadmill, elliptical, and other indoor exercise methods in order to be a Professional tennis player.
Moreover, use multi-vitamins,B12 especially, for added advantage with your regular meals.

Aim at Feet

2011-02-15T14:58:00.000-08:00

If you want to baffle, upset your opponent, drive hard to the baseline and make him Lob the ball back at you. Then you pounce on the return by Smashing the ball at his feet. He will have no time to recover in time to return the smash. However, ensure that you are at the net to hit back on a potential weak return.

The Secret to winning

2011-02-07T13:59:00.000-08:00

The secret to winning is to analyze your opponent's weaknesses.To do this you have to be patient. Take your time and try find the weak areas. Then, attack those areas of your opponents play. See whether you can capitalize on it.Try different strokes, as I have detailed in this Blog. If it is only one area of weakness, say for instance "weak backhand" hound him on it relentlessly.You will succeed. Do not give him a breather.

Wear loose fitting clothes

2011-02-05T10:32:00.000-08:00

Always wear loose fitting clothes when you play. It is very important as you sweat a lot in the summer heat.And best color to wear would be plain white. and find quality shoes like Adidas, Nike. Drink plenty of water, especially during short breaks. Ensure you have nothing obstructing your vision, like long hair. I suggest if needed to wear a pony tail.

Stringing your racket

2011-01-25T12:57:00.000-08:00

It is very important that you pay attention to the tension of your strings in the racket, as your winning depends on it.so, before you start check the strength, and if not satisfactory change racket even during the match.

Yes, you can.
You are at Set-point.40-0, you are sweating, facing defeat. No, it is not the end of the world.
Use "Under spin" shots, especially on Back hand drives. Also, "Chop" both your Forehand and Back hand drives.You may be facing the World champion, but you still can beat him/her by using these unorthodox method.
Instead of driving your shots. "chop" or "under spin" your drives.
When servicing, "drive" your service. Serve "underhand", with "under spin" Surprise your opponent.

Try Harder !

2011-01-16T06:28:00.000-08:00

Never give up. Try harder. More you practice better you will be.Keep a practice schedule.Practice 6 hours a day.You will definitely be a champ. and most importantly believe in yourself. Find a regular Partner who will practice with you daily.That's how I became Champ. It is no secret.

Surprise your opponent with a sudden Under spin shot preferably backhand to strand your opponents in his or her tracks that he/she will not recover from. Use this also to bring down your opponent mentally. When you face imminent defeat try this and you will Win at the end.

Analize your opponent

2009-10-20T18:20:00.000-07:00

Is your opponent a champion.How long has he been playing Tennis, What is his current rank.Is he a serve/volley player. or a baseline player.Does he have a killer backhand. What are his weaknesses, strengths. Watch videos of his previous matches. Is he an emotional player. By studying your opponent you find his strengths and weaknesses. By doing that you can create a "game plan" in advance thus enabling you to beat him. Concentrate on his weaknesses and take advantage of them.

Be a Champion !

2009-10-12T12:14:00.000-07:00

You ask me How. I have always been a positive Tennis player all my life. First I suggest that you write down some goals you want to achieve. In the beginning, firstly, you need to have a killer Backhand and a Service to be a winner.This may not always be the case as I know there are Baseline players who could be as good.. Regardless, first start by practising your backhand, using the ball in a sock method up to 2 hours, till you perfect it. Try, hitting at empty cans placed on the opposite side of the court. Do use backhand spin drives. This will make it difficult for your opponents to face you. Once you perfect it, begin to concentrate on your Service. As advised before, place cans at corners at the opponents serving area. and practise hitting them for hours. This will be your beginning to becoming a Champion ! Start by rushing the net as as soon as you serve. Of course, you have to make sure the service was a good hard service before you rush the net.If not I suggest you stay back and do that for the next hard service you come up with.If you rush the net with a weak service, it will be like commiting suicide.

Improve your Forehand

2009-10-03T17:14:00.000-07:00

Today's lesson is on how to improve your forehand. When I was a kid, I used our garage wall to hit my forehand.I would take a Tennis ball and aim my forehand on the garage wall for one full hour almost daily. Result, I had the most devastating forehand among my team mates. They feared it so much that they stood well behind the base line to return it. Another way to imrove it is to hang a Tennis ball in a sock and stroke it. Both ways are good to improve your forehand immensely.
