- Play Consistent Tennis In 10 Minutes - Instant Tennis Improvements
Being consistent is the most important element in tennis. Too often, tennis players focus on hitting winners, going for big serves, trying to hit the lines and this costs them as they make countless unforced errors. At the core of every good tennis player is one thing - being consistent. Rafa Nadal couldn't win without his consistent foundation. Novak Djokovic couldn't enforce his tactics on opponents if he wasn't consistent at what he does. Roger Federer wouldn't be the player he is today if he didn't have an extremely solid base to build from.
But how exactly can we play consistent tennis?
There are many physical elements involved in playing consistent tennis, we'll cover these in this video, however, it all starts with your mindset.
How To Play Consistent Tennis In 10 Minutes?
Step One - Having the right mindset. If you walk on the tennis court with the goal of hitting winners, blasting your opponents off the court with raw power, or plan on hitting the lines with every shot, you'll struggle to be a consistent tennis player, day in and day out. However, if your goal is to make every single ball, regardless of how you do so, you'll change the way you play tennis instantly. Having the right mindset is vital to being a consistent tennis player.
Step Two - Being free on the tennis court. We often defeat ourselves and make a lot of unforced errors from trying to be "perfect" on the tennis court.
We see Federer, Nadal and Djokovic playing flawless tennis and try to copy them. Or we play a match and think we need to play a few levels above our own in order to win. This causes a lot of tension in the body and makes us play worse. By getting rid of that feeling of trying to be perfect, you'll free up your body and mind to play the game without restrictions.
Step Three - Play with good margins. There are two main obstacles on the tennis court. The net is the first one and hitting within the confined lines is the second. By hitting with good height, you'll eliminate the net from your game. The next step is to get the ball to dip before the lines. Hitting with good levels of topspin will help you do that. Think about Rafael Nadal, someone who makes very few unforced errors. Nadal hits with good net clearance and heavy topspin.
Crosscourt vs down the line - aim around 80% of your baseline shots crosscourt. By hitting crosscourt, you're going over the lowest part of the net, hitting into the most amount of space and you'll greatly reduce your recovery.
Step Four - Hit to big targets. If you're constantly aiming for the lines, even when hitting with good topspin and net clearance, you'll make a lot of unforced errors. But if you hit those same types of shots to large targets, a few feet inside in each line, you'll increase your margins once again.
Step Five - Find the ball and then speed up. A lot of unforced errors in tennis come from players speeding up the racket too early and losing control of the racket angle at contact. To counter this, try to find the ball first and then speed up.

Hello Simon
Thanks for this video I was not a consistent player I lost all mh matches because of this...I watched this video yesterday and today I played wonderful
Thanx a lot
Learned a lot of things from your channel...
1. Track the ball consistently before hitting and after hitting.
2. Breathe in while preparing for the shot and breathe out while hitting.
3.Have the intention of clearing the net and making the bill dip before the lines
4. Aim cross-court for 80% of the shots
5. Hit the ball from low to high to produce topspin
6.Go with the mindset of hitting every ball and drop the idea of being perfect.
Thank you, Simon and TTT for helping me to improve every single day...Have benefitted a lot from your content... Keep inspiring and educating...

i can vouch for this. you basically helped me learn tennis.. thanks simon and alex!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I would love to see the Nadal banana shot. I learned from you to breathe while I hit my shots, and it has significantly improved my game. Thank you so much.
Great re-cap
"Find the ball, then accelerate" is great advice. I make errors when I try to crush the ball like a drunken bar-brawler. Or, as the redoubtable Brad Gilbert puts it: Swing with your racquet, not with your ego.
Haha brilliant

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial How to deal with lobs to your backhand side. The backhand overhead is a bear I prefer to run around if I can.
1. Eliminate the net, use topspin and load with the legs
2. Hit cross court, more margin, lower net, easier recovery
3. Find the ball, Then accelerate
4. Aim for safer margins
And #1 - your mindset 👍

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Simon - I have been a fan of this channel for a while but am yet to go through all your videos. I am in my late 40's and live in Aus; in the last several years, my level has dropped from an advanced to an intermediate as I struggle with injury, fitness (lack thereof) and recovery. What is required is a change of tactics and a diff mindset to win more; and that's what I like most about your channel, as it represents a combination of technique improvement and tactics development to suit all levels. This video appealed to me a lot as my mindset is to win more pts as opposed to making fewer errors; and there are reasons for that - I don't trust my fitness enough to grind through a pt and rush to finish pts early; which results in a higher risk game and poor results overall. Generally, the strategy of my better opponents is to keep me off-balance and not allow me to set-up to unleash my weapons and play first-strike tennis. A lot of 'analysis paralysis' also sets in - a common oft-used phrase is "perfection is the enemy of good" and that certainly applies to me. I'd like to win more to enjoy my tennis more; and I seek to find the right balance. I do like your channel.
Hi Simon and especially Alex: will you ever consider making a video talking about your experience playing professionally? Would love to hear your stories!
For sure we will 👍
It could be very interesting
the mental side is such a hurdle for me... often i dont even realize it. It is so easy to just try playing at a high level and hitting nice hard shots instead of focussing on staying consistent no matter the cost. Great video!
Thank you for watching 👍
Good luck with the mental battles, we all have them

You hit the ball so cleanly! Very glad someone hit on the mental side of being consistent. While we all have out ideal tennis styles and there is always that "correct" shot that we want to go for, consistency is always the #1 factor in a match. Many of my students struggle with having a balanced mindset as they don't want to be viewed as "pushers" or "grinders". Thank you for your content!

I've lost a ton of matches because of the desire to look like a good tennis player with pro Federer-like form, and you busted me in this video. One of my opponents said I play like a Ferrari in a small village (hitting every shot with full power), and that completely opened my eyes. Now I strive to hit my shots at about 60% and keep them in and deep, and am now beating people in my league 6-0 6-1. This is the best video on consistency and I salute you, Simon and the team!
Just by being self aware of your mindset, you’ve already improved leaps and bounds.
Well done 👍

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I'm strong technically (my NTRP is 5.0 -- I know this isn't the same system used in the rest of the world, so not sure if this means much to you). My problem is mental: I don't trust myself and my strokes enough (if you've read the Inner Game of Tennis, my Self 1 has no confidence in my Self 2). Ever since I started playing tennis as a junior, I didn't want to just win, I wanted to annihilate my opponents (especially if I thought their strokes weren't as good as mine and/or they were pushers). As a result, I developed a very aggressive style. As you correctly observe, when you play like this, there are days when you're unbeatable; far too often, though, playing this way results in tons of unforced errors. If you don't have issues of self-doubt, maybe you can just shake these unforced errors off and this approach can work. However, in my case, these errors trigger my self-doubt and I play worse. I recognized this issue recently and have been working on it over the past few months. (I've definitely seen progress, but old habits are hard to break.) Anyway, I thought you did an excellent job of summarizing the correct way to approach the game for the vast majority of people. If you have other thoughts on conquering the mental side, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for your great tips.
My pleasure!

This came just in time for me - trying to 'wow' opponents lately with power shots/tight angles. Also, losing a lot of matches lately. This is just the reset I needed, Simon.
As an aside, every time the hand flashed on the screen seemed random. Also, the video edits while the airplane was overhead created a descending diatonic scale in the background audio, which I'm sure was intentional.
You’re welcome.
Great hint with loading up the legs! I could do that more often... Off-topic: the court couldn't more British. What a lovely place to play tennis. :) The trees in the back could be Sherwood Forest. Thanks for sharing free insides again.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial ;)
Maybe it is
Nice one coach Simon. A valuable summary reminder of what seem to be simple tenets, but at least I find difficult to put into practice regularly.
One follow-up: the one about "FIND THE BALL, *THEN* ACCELERATE" seems most important - and possibly my most common mistake at the moment. Now I know it must relate to your other lesson(s) to constantly track the ball with both eyes. Yet that crucial step constantly eludes me as I "lose the ball" just at the critical moment ... any further tips on that particular step of seeing or finding the ball prior to making the forward swing?
It's a battle to stay zoned in on the ball, but try to keep the head as still as possible and fixate on the ball.
With practice, you'll get it.

Simples! Great advice , thanks. Not entirely sure what you mean by 'find the ball ' before accelerating
Slow until you get the ball in the slot and then accelerate 👍
So... place the ball in the slot that you make by getting in your preferred position... ?
@@transklutz No, let the ball get close to your ideal contact point while you stay relaxed with the swing and once you feel ready to speed up, you do so.
tennis is such a mental game. have to go with a winning mindset

Many thanks 🙏
Simon,
Thank you for another video. I wanted to ask a question about the leg drive. My big problem is depth control. I find that adding the leg drive makes me hit a higher trajectory, with the ball going out, rather than adding more spin. I end up hitting the ball at 50% rather than hitting at 80% just to keep it in the court. Clearly the pros aren’t doing this and I don’t hit it nearly as hard as they do. What’s the key to generating that extra spin in order to allow me to really swing through?
Thanks again

Great video. Billie Jean King said if she could keep the ball in play down the middle and never miss she would never lose.

There is no absolute right or wrong in sports. only depends what you want and under what kind of situation.
Lots of time, the "correct" position is not the correct one. we need to practice both the correct and "incorrect" position and send the ball back into the court.
So we need to practice down the line and cross court even in the game maybe you try to hit back more cross court. It depends on how to make the opponent to be more difficult to return, not only on how easily we return.
Great mindset tips 👍
