Today's tennis tip comes from Coach Ben Hesley
Speaker:
00:00:11
of Bull Shark Sports.

Hi, this is Ben Hesley from Bull Shark Sports.
Speaker:
00:00:19
Today's tip, we're gonna be focused on holding return.
Speaker:
00:00:24
Holding return means winning our return games.
Speaker:
00:00:28
Very similar to how you hear holding surf,
Speaker:
00:00:31
we're focused on winning the games
Speaker:
00:00:34
in which someone is serving to us.
Speaker:
00:00:36
In B and C, out to levels and low levels
Speaker:
00:00:40
of junior competition, this is often the case
Speaker:
00:00:43
because the surf is developmentally weaker
Speaker:
00:00:45
than other parts of players' games.
Speaker:
00:00:48
So it presents an opportunity to take advantage
Speaker:
00:00:51
of our opponent's surf and then break their surf
Speaker:
00:00:55
or what we like to call holding return.
Speaker:
00:00:58
So when you're out there playing,
Speaker:
00:00:59
think about how you can take advantage
Speaker:
00:01:01
of that weaker surf, attack that,
Speaker:
00:01:05
and then hold your return.
Speaker:
00:01:08
Holding return is a concept maybe something I've not heard,
Speaker:
00:01:11
but holding return is really, really viable
Speaker:
00:01:14
in order to win matches at those B and C,
Speaker:
00:01:17
out to levels and those lower levels
Speaker:
00:01:19
of junior competition.
Speaker:
00:01:21
I hope this helps.
Speaker:
00:01:22
I hope that you learn to attack people's surf,
Speaker:
00:01:25
be aggressive and hold return.
Speaker:
00:01:27

Speaker:
00:01:30
