Hi, I'm Rob Carver, author of the book 366 Days of Tennis, a tip of day to improve
Speaker:
00:00:35
your game.
Speaker:
00:00:36
And today, I got a great tip for you.
Speaker:
00:00:38
Recently, a player asked me, "Where was the best place to stand when their partner
Speaker:
00:00:42
served?"
Speaker:
00:00:43
I told him, "Anywhere but the same spot for the next two hours."
Speaker:
00:00:47
There's no absolute best place to stand.
Speaker:
00:00:50
Tennis is a situational sport.
Speaker:
00:00:52
When your opponent is live often, you should stand farther back in the box.
Speaker:
00:00:56
If your opponent drives the majority of the returns, you might want to stand closer in
Speaker:
00:01:00
the box.
Speaker:
00:01:01
Does your opponent always hit the same shot?
Speaker:
00:01:03
Of course not.
Speaker:
00:01:04
So, why would you stand in the same spot for every point?
Speaker:
00:01:07
Try to stand in a different spot and see how many times you can influence your opponent's
Speaker:
00:01:11
returns.
Speaker:
00:01:12
It's also fun if you force an error from your opponent when all you did was stand in a
Speaker:
00:01:16
different position.
Speaker:
00:01:17
Remember, anywhere but the same spot for the next two hours.
Speaker:
00:01:20
Hang tough!
Speaker:
00:01:21
Well, there you have it.
