- Tennis Tactics - Where To Aim In Singles. Crosscourt vs down the line in tennis, when should you hit either one and why?
When you play singles, tennis tactics and strategy should be the main priority for you if you want to have the best chance of winning that match. Deciding where to aim your shots is a big factor in building points and playing the percentages.
Crosscourt - Hitting crosscourt in tennis gives you three main advantages, firstly you're hitting into more court so the margins become bigger, there is less chance you'll miss the stroke. Secondly, you're hitting over the lowest part of the net, which helps you out when you're tight on a big point for instance and every cm counts! Thirdly, the zone you need to recover in to is closer to you because of the dynamics of the tennis court. So a higher percentage and you need to run less!
When you go down the line, the major advantage you gain is taking time away from your opponent, the ball has less court to travel into when you hit down the line so the balls gets to your opponent much quicker, reducing the amount of time your opponent has to read, react and respond to your shot.

Thank you for this video! I have a question - If I am serving from deuce side, to her backhand (so center of the T), should I still recover to right of center? I did this a lot thinking I was doing the right thing and expecting her to return cross court. But she kept backhanding it hard down the line and I couldn't get to it because I was standing right of center. I am still so confused because I thought returning down the line was a risk, but she did it repeatedly and beat me over and over. I also thought serving to the backhand side was best but it kept helping her do this to me.
What am I missing? Thank you!
This is an invaluable lesson, a concept I learned recently but still need to work on. Thanks as always TTT.

Best video I've watched on this channel, so far.
After you learn the proper technique, it all comes down to footwork, anticipation and court positioning (or, simply put: strategy).
Tennis is a challenging sport, specially if you care about doing everything "right" - I' m talking to you, tennis nerds (myself included hahaha).
Keep up the good work, you guys are the best tennis instruction channel on UA-cam. 👏👏👏

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Sorry for the late answer! Everything related to proper court positioning and space coverage, point patterns and also adapting to different opponent play styles.
Regarding personal flaws of my game, how to avoid doing a streched volley motion (a bit of over movement, bringing the racquet back too much etc) and how to do a proper pinpoint stance - in my case, I tend to bring the back foot to the front of the left foot, not to the side. It works, and I've seen some pros doing the same, but I'd like to fix it somehow. It's probably my toss, I don't know. I've tried hitting platform, but it feels weird to be stuck in the place and without much forward motion.
Great video! I don't know why so few coaches talk about this subject. This is so important!

Yup! That was good. Most people at recreational level don't get into trading and don't understand the importance of being in a neutral rally, pushing the opponent and building a point. They are always trying to hit a winner. This video really explains the concept of court positioning and playing to the percentage well. I find the idea of leaving the high risk difficult shot open to the opponent but closing in the low risk easy one, very interesting. So that even if they hit a winner it should come at a great physical and mental cost to them. And this should eventually grind them down. I often play with some people who don't realize this. They would be very upbeat in the beginning of the match and be hitting winners on the high risk shots, but eventually the percentage catches up with them and the winners become errors and match begins to slip away from them.

Not really "...it should come at a great physical and mental cost...", but actually, they're taking a lower percentage shot which means they'll miss it more often statistically. It's not about wearing them down, but just making the probability a little higher that they make a mistake.
Thanks for covering net position in this vid, I found that very helpful 👍

Excellent. Keeping the game tight. It's easy to get lazy and casual and lose sight of what went wrong on points. Mainly I think cause you want to forget a bad point quickly while playing. But this gives a great pattern to review after you play and before you play again. Great job and keep an eye on that 🐻 peaking out of the trees in back.

This is a really good video. One thing I noticed watching nadal is that he doesn’t always actually recover to the ‘correct’ position, is that because the rallies at that level are so good he might not have time to and/or tactics are so advanced that he might purposefully recover to a slightly sub optimal position but one which tempts the opponent to for example hit into the slightly bigger space towards his forehand strength for example?
Often the player doesn't get back into position simply due to the speed of the rallies, but also Nadal tends to lean one way, teasing the player with the higher risk shot or he often gives up space on his forehand wing so that he can get more running forehands, or run around the backhand to hit reverse forehands, so it puts the opponent in a hard predicament

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thanks for asking. I’ve watched a fair amount of your videos. As someone who is working toward 5-6 UTR, I would say:
1. Your suggestions on how to play based on what the score is during the game and the game count during the set. I realize not all opponents are the same, and it’s best not to focus so much on the score, but I’ve noticed I win more matches when I try to hold my opponent to 30-30 and won’t give up easy points.
2. Is there a specific way you aim your shots to make sure you it flush on the sweet spot? You guys make such good contact on the videos, and I feel like I am so close to raising my game, but when I hurry my shots and don’t aim for a certain zone in the racquet frame (I aim to hit the ball with the dampener on serve and grounds). Just seeing if there is any trick you guys use to make sure you don’t frame the ball or is it just muscle memory?
3. I have a one-handed backhand. Is there any tips you guys have for returning high kick serves on the backhand wing as a one hander or if they serve very well to your backhand and it is low and fast, how do you quickly determine if you should slice, do you guess? I just feel like when I’m playing someone who hits high kick to backhand on the ad court and does Serve and Volley, Slicing is almost a give up shot and they dunk it easily, a coach told me it’s better to just hit at them and hit more side to side above your waist. Any good advice?

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Hi Simon! Yes, I would actually. I am really struggling with my aim on serve. My technique is certainly not the best yet, but I have no problem to hit with effortless power on serve. On the other hand I have big problem to hit consistently into a service box. Most of my serves are just too deep, even without trying to generate much power. I would describe myself as intermediate player. I've been trying to find something on the internet on the subject, but I haven't found anything that helped me to improve this. Thank you for asking! All the best!

Thank you for this. I hope to remember it when I step on court next!
There was one aspect I hoped you would cover, which I've been thinking about. Should I always recover to position X with no momentum to either side, ready to split step? (That seems to be what you're doing) Or does is make sense to recover less far than X but retain momentum in that direction?
Very good question, on paper you would say for sure try to get back to X but that's not always possible. If you're at the level where you can start reading your opponent's shots then building momentum in the right direction and leaning one way for sure helps you conserve energy and get to the next ball quick enough.

I had been pondering where to stand after a down the line approach - too close to the net & get lobed, too far back & get dropped, too far one side & get passed. Not always able to do an aggressive approach when the ball is short & no pace so cross court & recover to cross court side of center service line mid point?
If you approach crosscourt, you leave the down the line pass open to your opponent. I'd work on your approach shots and getting into a good position faster

Hi Simon, do you know some drills to practice keeping the eye on the ball/keeping your head still when hitting the ball. I can't seem to be able to focus on it for longer than a couple of games. Especially when I'm playing a match when the score gets tight i get into my old habbit.
You have to master it many times over in training before it will stick in a match.
Start off every training session with 10-20 minutes of solely focusing and tracking the ball, with 100% concentration.
Once you master that skill, you'll know what true tracking means and try to replicate that in points
Great video! But how do you actually aim your shot? How do you go about hitting a crosscourt/down the line shot?
That's an entire video in itself
The advise to hit cross court and to do so at an angle is good advise. But as a 3.5 player, I often find my opponent has a weak backhand. If I hit it cross court but it is short, he will now be offensive w his forehand. In the other hand if I hit a slice or looper to his backhand let's me force play to his backhand. The big move to position left of the center line is a challenge but the advantage I get going backhand to backhand puts me on offense. The theme of my comment is that for park players, other strategies might be considered.
Absolutely. There are plenty of ways to construct points against different opponents - ua-cam.com/video/zD3_GHYTp7w/v-deo.html
I had an 'Ah-huh' moment during the video. I was always taught to recover to the middle and logically that made sense. As my game has improved I have naturally started to recover to an off-center position as you say. Especially important when playing stronger players with consistent groundstrokes. I have been finding I'm much better positioned for the next rally ball (FH or BH) without really knowing why. Now the fog has lifted... Thanks for the lesson Simon.

The only time you recover in the middle of the court is when you hit down the middle so your opponent has less angle on both sides.

At the rec level, I find a lot of players more comfortable hitting down the line to a big target than hitting short angle cross-court on the forehand. Their cross-court shots are usually still deep to the baseline. In this case I should probably shade towards cross-court less, but how much less?
It would depend on the opponent, once a few games have passed, you'll see their main strengths and will know where to position yourself
Superb session 👍

@David - This was filmed in August 2019, I wish the weather was this good now haha, I'm missing that heat
A friend of mine and a great player said that your first side move should be almost always crossing legs.
What are your thoughts? I saw that on the volley section at 13:40 you moved with a small split before the crossing legs. Wouldn't be more efficient to cross and then side step?
Thanks
By the way. I have been doing it wrong for 20 years. Thanks for correcting me!
Do you mean at the net?
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial
Yes. More precisely at 13:34.
And by side step I mean that if I am standing and want to move left I will jump left with both legs.

And by step crossing the legs I mean that if I am standing and want to move left I will cross my right leg over my left leg and take an impulse.

The footwork you will need to use will depend on the type of ball that's coming at you and how far you have to move. You'll always try to do a split step (wide base with body weight on both feet) and then you'll either step across the body with the inside leg if the ball is close to you/coming fast at you (one step volley) or you'll step out with the outside leg and then cross over with the inside leg (two step volley)
Thanks great video as always. Quick question - I am a righty but my friend is a lefty do my recovery positions change.
They stay roughly the same, exception would be if your friend uses acute angles with their crosscourt forehand and on return.

Hi, I have a situation and I don't know how to solve it. I sometimes play against beginning players and I still lose because you never know where their shot is going to land. So how can I do this?
Keep playing against those type of players, you need to learn how to defeat them.
The only way is to play them and adapt to their style
Agreed, more you play - more you get to know their game and predict better.
The other thing is to do is to keep loose, active footwork and get to the ball (even if it is a defensive shot).
I sometimes its quite similar to football(soccer)
Down the line is like near post shot
Cross court is like far post shoot,
haha
And a similar ready position when anticipating a hard strike, low and wide base, ready to react
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial

4:30 then is nick kyrgios a magician?
When he rips it with sidespin, yes, yes he is!
Hey top tennis training how do you transition from a eastern forehand to a semi western?
Small changes, every week tweak your grip a tiny bit and over the course of a few weeks, you'll be in semi-western.
Why the change though?
I use an eastern gripand love it!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I feel like with eastern grip the timing has to be spot on and i hit the ball very flat with the grip so when it goes in it's like a bullet but fooling around yesterday with the semi western grip it just felt easier for spin short angles and i feel like the semi western forces me to use my lower half more for power where as the eastern grip for me is mainly arm action less leg power.
Interesting
yet another amazing video! I think Simon could improve any player so dramatically if they follow his tutor-age and advice. Do you have a video on how to counter people who do lots of down the line drop shots or slice backhands to your forehand, either bringing you into the net or then coming into the net from that approach shot themselves?
I'm about a 6.1 at the moment but stangely my backhand is actually slightly stronger than my forehand, just always loved hitting a 2 handed backhand and clever players realise that as i'm a counter puncher they won't out rally me at the baseline if they're similar level to me and even agressive baseliners struggle due to too many errors so what some of them do is chip and charge to my forehand or they literally do a drop shot to my forehand and i just don't know where to hit it from there, do i do another drop shot in return and if so also back down the line or cross court? do i try and hit heavy topspin to get the ball back up and over the net either down the line or cross court, do i do a deep slice forehand down the line or cross court and come into the net?
Also the net is my weakness so i know i need to work on that but also at 5f 7ins i don't have the net coverage of some of the 6ft + guys, do you think that matters at this level or its more about positioning, technique and anticipation?
PS I never "got" the ATP Cup... Especially as it comes on the heels of Davis Cup and the ATP Tour Championship. But as it has gone on, the games are more exciting with some very close matches. Shout out to Canada & Australia for punching above their weight, but the cream has risen to the top. Spain & Serbia in the Final tomorrow (depending on your timezone.) 👍
It's been a great event but they should combine DC and ATP Cup and make it one event, even if it's played over 10-14 days it would be better, maybe get rid of one of the end of season indoor events and replace it with that one.
The guys have killed themselves this week and it's only the start of the season, Aussie Open next week and then a long 2020 awaits them

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks for the reply. There is just a lot of noise from filming at that distance and from the camera and being outside.

Maybe stand closer to the camera. Again, love these video so much and I've learned a lot from them!
We do use a shotgun mic, a rode one, the only issue was, that day during filming, the battery went down and was almost out of juice so the sound was very low.
Normally, you can hear me much better
Great video! I tend to cheat with my positioning towards my BH side because my running FH is much better than my running BH. Sometimes this can get me in trouble if my opponent can hit an aggressive FH short angle, but this is rare at my level. Do you recommend I switch up my positioning depending on my opponents?
That sounds good, it always depends on the opponent.

His forehand into your backhand is always going to be an issue, you have to find ways to neutralize that tactic, slices, taking it early, heavy moonballs that force him back, changing direction and going into his backhand (your backhand down the line) could all help

How would you play even level with power bashers if you're physically weaker than they are? Nothing I threw at them even pulling them to the edge then going opposite side got past them consistently.
Check the comment I left on your other question
Great video, Simon, thank you. Question, on his service return, Djokovic goes consistently for his opponents shoelaces. What are your thoughts on going down the middle and take away the angles from your opponent?
Thanks for watching Rob
I use that return tactic often myself, a great way to jam the server and exploit them when they are most vulnerable.
The server lands on one foot, is off balance and then has to deal with the ball coming right into them.
Plus as the returner, you're hitting a high percentage shot and it's easy to return the ball back to where it came from.
Couldn't recommend it more

As soon as you see your opponent in the trams, I'd go line on the next shot to get them running and off-balance.
It could even be a slice or a softer shot but get them moving.
Thank you for watching
Are there any lessons you would like to see from us in 2020?

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons Kickserve tutorial would be great!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial so you recommend keeping cross court rallies and waiting for an opportunity to attack or changing direction i.e. weaker/shorter ball.. What about changing direction in neutral rally just to mix up the play/force the opponent to run/ not to let him find the rhythm ? @ i would welcome more videos on tactics
Let’s see what i can do on Saturday
Go get them!
"Position yourself in the middle of your opponents two best possible shots" Good advice, but how do we know what our opponents two best possible shots are?
I explain this in the video, did you watch the entire lesson or skip parts?
Lol that's what the whole video explains 😅
I will win tomorrow at millswood against nikola

Cant hear clearly coach simon a little louder thal usual.
Problems with the audio?
This has been mofils problem for years. Poor shot selection and recovery. His speed and athleticism keep him in the match for a hard fought 1st set but it slowly wears him down.
Even the pros make the same errors.
Makes me feel better about my game haha
You said that you would explain 1 case in which you recover to the middle. But you didn’t...
I thought I mentioned that the only time you recover into the middle is when you hit the ball into the middle. . .
All this assumes that the opponent is going to make the rational choice of making high percentage shots.
No it doesn’t
My understanding was straining until about half way through, then the penny suddenly dropped.

This was a bit confusing. Too much information for a 18 minute video.
What would you have preferred?
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial shorter videos please. 1 idea at a time. I'd rather watch several shorter videos than one long one. My attention simply gets shorter every day. Still, I like your videos so keep up the good work!
Fala muito, fala muito...
de nada para a lição!
