4 Steps to Being a Better Tennis Player

4 Steps to Being a Better Tennis Player

As anybody in the UK will already know, sadly we’re not the best in the world at producing tennis players. But we live in hope that one day somebody will rise up from the ashes of Britain’s tennis dignity and become the world number 1. And that could be you.

All of these tips are designed to apply for hobbyists and full-time professionals alike.

Study the Best

To know what you should do first you should monitor some of the best tennis players in the world. Study their technique, their movement, how they pace themselves in big games, and then apply it to your game.

Tennis players which you should study, preferably in person, include Rafael Nadal and Rodger Federer. We haven’t included Andy Murray here because we want you to become better by learning from the best in the world, in other words tennis players who tend to actually win!

Serving Suggestion

A key part of tennis is the serve. The best tennis players know how to hit it as hard as possible while still keeping it in the court. When most tennis players attempt to hit it as hard as they can, though, then they end up hitting it into the crowd.

Go to the tennis court by yourself and start serving on your own. Work on how to increase your velocity while still keeping it within the bounds of the court. If you want to get fancy then try adding a little spin to your serve too.

Confidence

The thing that holds many people back from winning is the fact that they have no confidence. If the world number one came up to them and asked them for a game then their immediate thought would be that they have no chance of beating them. While this would probably be true, it’s still the wrong way to think about it!

Build a winning mentality for every game and every tennis event is so important so that you won’t be afraid of taking on any player. When you have reached a level where you can be beaten and have no issue coming back for more then you are Andy Murray. And when you have reached the level of Andy Murray you can work on your technique and become the best!

Tennis Challenge

The only way to get better is to take people on who can beat you. This might sound silly as losing is no fun, but you will never become a better tennis player if you decide to take on a random ten year old kid at the park every time.
