Singles Neutral or Baseline Zone Objectives

/by

When rallying on the baseline, work on these simple concepts.

  • Control the Cross court rally – ff your forehand is stronger than your opponent’s, then you have your winning strategy. Playing your strength to their weakness is how your going to establish your game plan. Same with your backhand, and so on.
  • Control Your Baseline (on the baseline, not behind the baseline)
  • Push your opponent back
  • Cut down on the angles
  • Gain control of the court
  • Simplify your thought process
  • Make consistent contact with your SPIN AND SHAPE TO THE SHOT
  • Establish control of the point, trust your shot, and go for it.
