Never change a winning game

ALWAYS CHANGE A LOSING GAME, since, as you are getting beaten that way, you are no worse off and may be better with a new style.

The question of changing a losing game is a very serious thing. It is hard to say just when you are really beaten. If you feel you are playing well yet have lost the first set about 6-3 or 6-4, with the loss of only one service, you should not change.

Your game is not really a losing game. It is simply a case of one break of service, and might well win the next set. If, however, you have dropped the first set in a 2 out of 3 match with but one or two games, now you are outclassed and should try something else.

Take chances when you are behind, never when ahead. Risks are only worth while when you have everything to win and nothing to lose. It may spell victory, and at least will not hasten defeat. Above all, never lose your nerve or confidence in a match. By so doing you have handed your opponent about two points a game—a rather hard handicap to beat at your best.

Serving Speed

In March 1998 in California, Greg Rusedski showed his brute power when he smashed a record braking tennis serve of 149mph, beating his rival Mark Philippoussis by 7mph.

How did he do it , he took his time! Toss the ball slowly and controlled, Strike the ball with your arm fully extended and follow through. Use your body weight and project it into the serve, use a throwing action to accelerate the racquet from behind your head up to the ball.

Keep your eye on the ball for maximum awareness of the serve.

How to serve

Sometimes it can be difficult to teach someone how to serve in tennis. There are so many little but vital things you must to do carry out an accurate and fast serve. The best way to get the information is from a teacher teaching tennis serve techniques! Serving is one of the most important aspects of the game, because it starts out the point and if you don’t hit it in you automatically lose that game! Your opponent can win an entire game without touching the ball if you don’t know how to serve. You must have very good tennis serve accuracy. A topspin serve is also a very good serve to learn we have provided some great

topspin serve tips to help you with that second serve. So here are a few great tips on serving technique that will help beginners that are having a hard time grasping the serving techniques.

All beginning students from any age can learn these techniques and catch on very quickly. The first thing that you must understand is the concept of the perfect form of the tennis serve. To achieve this consider that it is like throwing a baseball. Kids will love this exercise because its something their parents won’t let them do! Find a grassy safe area where no one will get injured and start to throw your racquet as far as you can. If this area is not available then just use a simple tennis ball. Someone who knows how to properly throw a ball will be able to easily adapt to the proper tennis serve form. Weight transfer is quite easy to learn as you just need to be shown how to position your body and well as were the foot should point etc.

Another great technique is to line up against a fence and to throw your ball up in the air and then capture the ball against the racquet and the fence so you can see where you are hitting.

OK, here are some tennis tips that will help with your tennis game

As with any form of exercise it is very important to warm up and stretch those muscles before you play, it can really help reduce the risk of injury. Once you have finished your match, cool down by doing some stretching and maybe 5-10 minutes of slow jogging.

Remember to drink plenty of water during practice and play. And sip it; don't gulp down huge quantities in one go.

Try to maintain a healthy diet, both at home and when you are away playing in a tournament. That means having regular, healthy balanced meals with plenty of energy foods like pasta and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Train sensibly and plan your time. You need to ask an expert before setting out on any new training program. Why not contact the local gym for help? When training on or off court, think about the quality of your shots first, and then worry about quantity and consistency.
