  • 7 Deadly Sins In Tennis - You NEED To Avoid These Errors
    If you're serious about becoming a better tennis player and want to win more matches, it's vital that you avoid these seven deadly sins in tennis. Download our FREE Tennis guides here - www.top-tennis-training.com/f...
    These aren't rules that you'll find in a tennis rulebook, but they should be rules that you play tennis by. These seven errors are very costly for winning tennis matches, and you need to avoid these errors.
    In this tennis lesson, Coach Simon Konov of Top Tennis Training will share with you the seven deadly sins in tennis, and how to avoid them.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Seven:
    This tennis sin is hitting approach shots crosscourt, unless you have a clear opening or are attacking a weakness. There is a time and a place for hitting your approach shot crosscourt, for example, if you want to hit into a weaker backhand of an opponent. However, in general, you want to hit 80% of your approach shots down the line, so that you can cover the down the line pass and be in a good position at the net.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Six:
    This tennis sin is recovering to the middle of the tennis court after every shot, instead of moving into the correct position. The only time you should recover right into the middle of the tennis court is when you've hit your shot directly into the middle of the opponent's court. At all other times, you should be recovering off centre on one half of the court, so that you're in the middle of your opponent's two best possible shots.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Five:
    This tennis sin is going down the line when you have no real reason to do so. Hitting down the line in tennis is something you should earn by creating space or getting a shorter ball.
    When rallying, avoid going down the line unless you have the upper hand, as down the line is a higher risk shot.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Four:
    This tennis sin is trying to use different grips to volley with. Time is a very valuable commodity at the net, and trying to change grips between each volley will cost you time and cause you to hit many errors. We should all be using one grip at the net, the continental tennis grip. This allows you to hit every type of volley with the same grip.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Three:
    This tennis sin is hitting the net. When playing tennis, try to take the net out of play by lifting the ball a few feet at least over the net. Rafa Nadal often plays with 2-3 metres of net clearance, so he knows there's no chance he'll hit the ball into the net.
    Deadly Tennis Sin Two:
    This tennis sin is holding your breath.
    Deadly Tennis Sin One:
    This tennis sin is not tracking the ball.

      I grinned at that too. Still, I want to point out that the racquet's position and angle at contact don't fully determine the shot yet. The racquet's momentum is also essential to spin and speed. You can't generate a fast topspin forehand or a firm smash off a soft incoming ball just by getting the racquet in the right place. It doesn't add any kinetic energy to the ball. If you want to do more than just use and redirect some of the incoming power, the racquet needs to be moving in the right way too. That's much of the reason we have all that takeback, after all.

  • @MsStaceyBrooke
    @MsStaceyBrooke 11 місяців тому +1

    All super recommendations. Number 5, knowing then to go down the line or go cross court is essential.
    The breathing tip is huge and an uncommon tip you’ll hear as a beginner since it’s a micro technicality. Every lesson for every coach should begin with, exhale as you swing 🤣😂😅
    Also all continental grip for volleys!!!!
    All 7 are awesome tips. I could (probably should) watch this video 10 times. Thank you so much Coach Simon!

    If the drop or shallow shot is down the middle, where do you suggest going with the approach shot? Great video by the way.

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      I’d look to approach into the weaker wing in that case, if the opponent has a solid backhand and forehand, I’d approach into the middle to reduce their angles

  • @connormacpherson4274
    @connormacpherson4274 2 роки тому +2

    Hi simon i realize things are stylistic, but would you say most pros hit with a closed racket face at contact/strings slightly pointed down at the moment of impact for the atp forehand?

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      When going for more topspin, the strings will be angled slightly for sure, although it's very minimal.
      When hitting flatter, the strings will be more square on to the net

    @molybdaenmornell123hopp5 2 роки тому +2

    I have one problem with watching the ball at all times. Don't I also benefit from reading my opponent's shot preparation? I can obviously anticipate a lot of shots from the rally situation, but shouldn't I also take the other player's setup into account? How can I see that while watching only the ball? Or is it OK to watch the opponent briefly before contact and then quickly get back to watching the ball? That's what my coach suggested.

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  2 роки тому +2

      If you’re tracking the ball properly, you’ll see the opponent set up with your peripheral vision. That will give you clues, but ultimately they may set up and deceive you, so it’s better to wait until the strike and actually see where they hit than guess and go the wrong way

    #1 tracking the ball 💯. I work with lots of kids who are new to tennis. I like to see them throwing and catching bouncing balls before we even pick up rackets. The ones who show good instincts for finding the ball and catching it with both hands are the ones who advance quickest - not the ones with the strongest swings. Advice to parents of very young players: play catch with your kids!

  • @ryankiel4895

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      It could be, I always feel it's a better mistake if you miss long or wide when comparing that to the net. But at the end of the day, a mistake is a mistake, so hitting long or wide has the same impact as hitting the net.
      We should hate errors, I know I do haha

For you or most viewer know you mean ground stroke is baseline, but I thought ground stroke is the bouncing back ball, not only at baseline.
