Never thought about a missed return being equivalent to a double fault 😳That’ll definitely make me pay more attention on the return. Appreciate it

One of the best videos on fundamental but v effective tips👍...thanks Ryan

Thanks a lot Ryan! Today I'm going to play my first Tournament and I'l try to keep in mind all your tips. As a beginner your videos really helped me and I love the way you explain your ideas and how enthusiastic you are. Thanks again and keep it up!

Great content once again Ryan! This will be mandatory viewing for my team, as are all your videos!

This was a comprehensive summary of playing good tennis. Can we get a doubles version please that’s all in one place like this?

Great tips. I am a lady ITF seniors player, age 67, and today I had to play against ladies half my age in a round Robin singles tournament in my daughter's colony. I used your tips effectively and won the gold.. Fantastic ideas you have. Thank you.

It really works! Thanks a lot, Ryan!👍

Shadowing your opponent - this makes a huge difference - greetz from Germany 🇩🇪

Awesome Video Coach, very simple & basic strategies, but very very effective ones, especially for beginners and intermediate players. I am teaching my niece to be more competitive for her high school tennis team, and this is the best and most effective strategies for single matches. Thanks a lot Coach.

Thanks for the input. I forgot to mention that it’s a left-hander and I’m a right-hander. Maybe your suggestion would be to return the ‘favor’ and hit it to his backhand even if it is a down the line shot. I’ve tried doing that and what happens is that we have a rally of weak backhand to weak backhand of which I was pretty successful. But recently I’ve tried to make it a ‘growth’ situation by hitting the backhand shot crosscourt to his forehand which isn’t exactly Andres Rublev, and that seems to work fairly well with the added benefit of giving me confidence that I can win points even on ‘shied to sword’ rallies because I’ve been able to get some weak returns even on forehand. Now I have to work on my volleys and overheads which often let me down!

cant wait to try all of these

I found tip 3 - ‘standing on the other side of the court on the baseline’ the most useful. Thanks.

Thank you from Brazil 🇧🇷👊🏽

coach loves a sports analogy - golf, football, basketball 👍

You are great, thank you, great tips my friend

Thank for this amazing Video...I always learn and win more Matches thank to you 😎 I hope we can play one day, If you come to Miami let me know 💪🏽🎾

Thanks for the great video

Great video!!! This will help a lot

If there’s a reactive brake on the serve and forehand, is there also one on both the one and two handed backhands?

I agree with positioning yourself on the baseline to bisect the distance to react to either direction that the ball is hit. However, wouldn't it make sense for players that have a vastly superior forehand compared to their backhand to "slightly" shade a little to increase the likelihood of hitting forehands? That would enable you to use your strengths to attack your opponents weaknesses.

Hitting most shots crosscourt seems to have helped the most, even in the games when I’m hitting it to a left-hander’s forehand. Another benefit of this strategy is that you get in the habit of getting ready a little earlier.

When I’m coming to the net after a nice approach shot to my opponents on the move backhand (we are both 2.5) I’m getting beat with the lob. I can’t jump and reach it and I can’t run it down. What do I do? This is making me not want to approach the net.

how about if your opponent is trying to hit it to your backhand on every ball?

what your opponent actually does should be a big caveat to the basic rule regarding where you stand.

For me, 1st serve is the biggest impact. I double fault too much.

Essentially I try to return back to the server

I do not aim my return. I guess I’m gonna start.
