Serve and returnHow to serve in tennis: the service motion step by stepA good tennis serve is a throw that starts in your legs, passes through your trunk and shoulder, and reaches the racquet last. Legs and trunk supply about 51–55 % of the serve's kinetic energy, and shoulder internal rotation about 40 % of racquet-head speed. Load the knees, let the racquet drop edge-on, reach up to a straight-arm contact and land inside the baseline.Serve and returnHow to hit a reliable second serve under pressureHit your second serve with the same swing as your first, more brush and one proven target. Slowing the arm to be safe removes the spin that gives you net clearance, so you get a slower ball with less clearance and a returner stepping in. Top-50 men win about 57.5 % of second-serve points, against 73.6 % behind a first.StrikeHow to hit a modern topspin forehandTo hit a modern forehand, turn early, meet the ball about a racquet-length in front of your front foot, and swing up as much as forward. Contact has to happen out front, where the racquet head is still accelerating. The topspin isn't a wrist trick. It comes from a path that arrives at the ball travelling upward.Move and reactWhat is a split step in tennis, and when to do itA split step is a small hop you make before every ball, timed so you land around the moment your opponent hits. Start it on their forward swing. The landing pre-stretches your leg muscles like a spring, so you push off harder toward the ball. Land too early and the spring goes slack. Land too late and you're still in the air.Move and reactWhere to recover after your shot in tennisAfter you hit, recover to the line that splits your opponent's widest possible replies, not to the centre mark. That bisector moves with where they hit from: it matches the centre mark only when they are in the middle. After a sharp cross-court, it sits toward the side you hit from, so you can reach both of their widest replies.Play the pointWhat is percentage tennis and how do you play itPercentage tennis means choosing targets and shots so the point ends on your opponent's error more often than on yours. It isn't pushing. It's aggressive with margin: aim through the net window, land past the service line, and go to the bigger half of the court and the weaker wing. About two in three points end on an error.
