Recently, more and more people are fond of tennis. There are ways that will improve your tennis game in a short time.
10. Develop accuracy, not speed.
Of course, professional players develop a very high feed rate. The record holders in men's tennis are able to develop it up to 250 kilometers per hour. But, if you are an ordinary amateur, you can only dream of such a presentation. Although many players try and hit the ball with all their might, accuracy suffers. Even the pros tune in to the first hit, try it yourself. First you need to work out the pitch so that it is accurate, and speed is an added bonus. Do not chase after her. Remember that the more time you devote to training, the better your feeds and strokes.
9. Find your intensity level
It is very important to find a level of intensity at which you will feel comfortable. You can reduce or increase it depending on the situation. The most common mistake of all lovers is too fast pace. They are worried, nervous, in a hurry with blows. Just take a little breath, you will notice that playing has become much easier. It is clear that many players strive to give everything in 100, but if they play at a pace that is comfortable for them, there will be more chances to win. Become the master of your condition, control it, increase or decrease stress depending on the situation, only in this way you can become a worthy player.
8. Do not strive for performance
Of course, looking at professional players is very nice. Their punches are accurate, worked out to the smallest detail. After watching a couple of matches, you can decide that hitting the line is a great tactic. This is a kind of encircling stroke, in order to perform it you need to have a sufficient level of skill. If you make a mistake in the calculations or performance technique, most likely give your opponent a point. If you are a beginner, choose your goal on the court - a place where you can get without risking yourself. When you become an experienced player, then you can experiment. Remember that recklessness does not replace experience. Work out accuracy of blows and do not strive for showiness. If you want to catch admiring glances, then tennis is not suitable for this purpose.
7. Take time to prepare
No matter what you are going to do, participate in the competition or train, do not forget about the preparation. First you need to warm up the muscles, perform a small set of exercises. This is necessary in order to avoid injuries during the game. After warming up, be sure to do some stretching exercises. Professional players do stretching before and after training. Muscles will become more flexible, resilient. Tension in the muscles and joints will decrease, movements will become free. The dynamics of movements and their amplitude will also increase, which will undoubtedly affect the abilities of the player.
The next time you play, ask relatives or acquaintances to film you. Only when you watch the video, you will understand what mistakes you are making, can you determine your strengths and weaknesses. You can understand what you should work on. If among your friends there are those who play tennis professionally, you can show the video to them. They will indicate your mistakes and shortcomings. This is a very effective practice, even some eminent tennis players use it. Even if it seems like a waste of time, try it, you won’t regret it.
5. Choose the right racket
Many beginner players think that choosing a racket is easy. I went to any specialized store and bought the one I liked. It's not so simple, you need a racket that fits the level and style of the game. You won’t believe it, but if you get a racket of Murray or Federer in your hands, you won’t play better. First you need to decide what you want to get. Increase ball control or impact power? Maybe a racket with shock-absorbing technologies is right for you? You can study this question yourself or turn to knowledgeable people. If you already have a racket, perhaps it needs a constriction.
4. Find enemy weaknesses
A very important condition for victory is an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. Professional players in this regard are even easier. Most of them have their own technique, which is known throughout the world, so they make up the tactics of the game in advance. Of course, here too you can not do without surprises. If this is your first time seeing your rival and don’t know what to expect from him, use the warm-up to your advantage. Test the punches left and right, determine which punches are weaker. Force the enemy to use those blows that he does not possess very well. Be careful, victory will not take long.
3. Drink while playing
Professional players drink water throughout the game, and some even have a snack. Of course, they do this at intervals. Fans are so busy playing the game that they cannot afford a sip of water. During the game, a person sweats, he loses not only water, but also electrolytes. High loads and increased sweating lead to a violation of the water balance in the body of players. Drink water during each transition, you can eat. No, not a sandwich with sausage, a piece of energy bar will be enough.
2. During impacts, transfer weight to the hind leg
Before hitting the ball, check to see if you have transferred your body weight to your hind leg. Only in this case the blow will be strong. During the game, you need to monitor the position of the legs, it all depends on what position the player is in and what speed he can develop. If you do not have the slightest idea about how to stand, move, refer to knowledgeable people. A tennis coach will teach you the basics and kicks. If you rely only on yourself, you can learn from videos or books. There is more than enough information on the Internet. Do not hope that the body will “tell” you what to do on the court. Master at least the minimum level of training.
1. Find your playing style
Professional players use only a few punches, which they do well. On the contrary, amateurs rush to extremes, they experiment, and nothing good comes of it. Think about what you do best, train and improve your skills. Please note that the play style and presentation style must also be consistent. Use the strongest tricks, then in the game you will not be equal.
