Glossary

• Open-stance vs Closed-stance
  • Closed-stance: Toes are pointed towards the side fence
  • Open-stance: Toes are pointed more towards the net. The open-stance has interesting advantages (but might be the cause of more injuries or body stress [1]).
• Grips
  • Grip Guide - A Grip on Your Game - A complete overview of all forehand and backhand grips in Tennis.

Tutorials

• TENNIS.com - Article Instruction - Lots of instruction articles on various parts of tennis play (serve, forehand, double...).

Serve

Flat Serve / Cannonball Serve

Some serve videos on YouTube:

• Tennis Serve - intosport.com Tennis Academy - How to serve
  • Starting point is right behind the base line, close to the center mark (for the single games to reduce open court available)
  • Front foot making a little less than 45° angle with base line, and rear foot parallel with base line
  • Weight evenly balanced on both foot, or a bit more on the front foot
  • Grip: most common grip for beginner is the continental grip, also referred as the chopper grip.
  • Tip 1 : Throw ball as high as you can reach with your racket and far enough from you (so that if you don't hit it it will land in front of the base line)
  • Tip 2 : Head up, watch the ball, high contact
  • Tip 3 : Recover quickly to ready position
  • Drill Tip 1 : Ball throw - high and consistently land in front of the base line
  • Drill Tip 2 : Hit both sides of the service box
  • Drill Tip 3 : First and second serve sequence
• How to perform a tennis serve
  • Grip: Hammer grip
  • Make the ball bounce for concentration with left hand, racket in right hand in your back
  • Bring the racket and ball together
  • Head up towards your adversary
  • Separate both arms, tossing the ball
  • Bend front leg, bringing your weight on it, and bringing your racket in your back, right arm bended
  • Hit the ball!
• Tennis Tips: Six steps to a proper serve
  • Grip
  • Positioning
  • Bending the knees
  • Toss
    • Wrist upwards, elbow locked, release the ball when arm is horizontal.
  • Point of contact
    • The racket and arms aligned, slightly tilted towards the net. In the movement after hitting the ball, the wrist gives a downward twist to the racket.
  • Follow through

Topspin Serve / Kick Serve

• The Ultimate Topspin Tennis Serve Video Guide - Technique for the topspin tennis serve and drill exercices through videos

Forehand

• Tennis Forehand - intosport.com Tennis Academy - Introduction to the Forehand
  • Basic forehand you play around the base line when the ball as bounced once
  • Grip: as a beginner, use the Continental or Chopper grip; As you improve, use a semi-western grip (allow to hit the ball harder and with top speed).
  • Always start from ready position.
  • When you hit your forehand, always be slideways on, and slightly behind the ball.
    • And transfer your weight from rear leg to front leg.
  • When done, always back to ready position, right behind the base line.
• Tennis - the mechanics
  • The linear power - horizontal force, stepping up the court, moving through the ball.
  • The groundforce power - vertical force got by stacking your weight down, and then letting that weight exploding upwards with the shot.
  • The circular power - your arm swinging around your body, in a circular motion.
• TENNIS.com - The Forehand with Nick Bollettieri
  • Consider the back of the racket handle as a flashlight. When preparing the forehand and waiting to hit the ball, the flashlight should be aiming at the ball, ie. the racket must not be too much in the back.

One-Handed Backhand

• Tennis One-Handed Backhand Progressions: Step 5: Full Motion
  • Move rear foot first so that to bring it parallel to the base line
  • Move front foot
  • Loop!

Advices

• [Match La Raquette - 8 Août 2009] - Service
  • Attention au lancer de balle!
  • Si mal lancée, recommencer!
  • Ne pas pivoter en lançant la balle.
