Got tennis strategy? 2 things you MUST consider!

There are two CRITICALLY IMPORTANT criteria you need to consider when constructioning a tennis strategy. They are:
1) Quality of shotmaking. This doesn't mean shots you like to hit. It's all about the matchup.
2) Court positioning. In other words, what is your positioning on the tennis court relative to your opponent's?
You can exploit one -- or both -- of these criteria when building a winning tennis strategy.
One of the things I do in this video is look back at the previous two videos I filmed -- Power is Overrated and Variety is Overrated -- and talk about how these two critera apply to the strategies and tactics talked about in that video.
So make sure you check out those videos now if you haven't already.
Also, please let me know what you think of this video in the comments below!

Hey Will, I just stumbled onto this. This video is really key and I think complements your playbooks well. As I said in emails in which you asked for feedback, the playbooks don't read that well without the videos. This video - and probably the other two that you mentioned in this video, really help connect the concepts, I think...

If you're up against a new opponent, variety is a crucial strategy, in order to test all aspects of your opponent's game. How does he handle deep balls to his baseline? Is he comfortable coming to the net? Does he run to the ball well, if you hit out wide? How does he handle your topspin shots/slice shots? What about high bouncing balls, how does he cope? It's fun to test out a new opponent and find out his strengths and weaknesses, then exploit what you've found out!

Will, thanks for your videos. I'm a big fan. I need some tips. I hit very hard and well placed serves and return of serves. I actually am very successful in doubles. However, that's where I run into trouble. I tend to over-hit everything else - particularly in singles.

I find serving to the backhand particularly effective since I am a serve and volleyer, many backhand returns end up giving a nice approach situation or even a straight up volley

I think it'd be really sweet to have a handful of some simple predetermined FYB strategies that we could learn and implement based on how we scout our opponents during the warmup with SWOT analysis.

@deadlyduck001 12 жыл бұрын

for he rec's, use your best shots ( i guess forehand ) and try to disable your opponents best shots. Think of a small pattern to set up your weapon. Like serve outside of the court, get in forehand set up and go for oppnents backhand, like the video explains. Also, like in the casino, you gotta play the percentages. In what kind of rally are you gonna win? Know what to do BEFORE you serve. For instance 'My 2nd serve is bad, opponent will return and come to net' normal: PANIC, think: play lob

Well as an amateur fan of tennis in the 80s(I used to play up to 5times a week without coaching and wrong raquettes from 17to 20 I might be naive.However trying to make a come back for fun as a senior with coach after years of disinterest sthg strikes me.However talented Nadal,Djoko Monfils Tsonga and Federer are.It is precisely the lack of variety in their games that make me lose interest in watching a whole game.Schiavone whose rigid style may seem awkward is a relief really for her variety.

@dakodadixon6011 11 жыл бұрын

when defending the 1 2 punch, i suceed by returning with a hard slice near the base line to my opponents backhand. and i have all the serves plus a coupple trick serves, and my serving plan is not to have a pattern so they cant counter with a plan. it keeps them off balance and guessing.

i have a silly question, this shot we can see in some matches for example federer forehand he uses a lot in winners, are they that fast, because in other tours they dont look that fast, is that a perspective of the camera problem? because i try to do it as hard as i can and i get embarased, comparing to federer...

@enfinlibre68 i think federer has a ton of variety if you ask me. he mixes kick serves, slice, and flat. His forehand can be hit either flat or topspin, he has a topspin backhand and slice bh, and also hits way more drop shots than anybody else on tour. if federer doesn't have variety then who does?

There's no one strategy to use unless you're so good you're ranked high. You should adjust to your opponents. In social tennis you hit with them as warmup and I use that time to feel them out. I see if fh or bh is better and which is better if they are on the run. Then I see about hitting at their feet vs in front of them and finally how they handle top spin that's deep vs short. There are times it's better to be a serve and volleyer and times when baseline topspin will when. Other times, being a junk player is best.

@enfinlibre68 13 жыл бұрын

Again I can see that the players are physically and technically much better except volleying.Furthermore with new rackets men tennis especially although faster show some really amazing baseline rallyes totally impossible to imagine before...Yet it seems like a new Sampras(really not my favourite style but to name an exceptionally fit player),a Mc Enroe,Edberg or a Becker are impossible to envisage in the top10.Then I must say that the BEAUTY of losing in a varied style is grossly underrated.

@jdude1357114 12 жыл бұрын

personally I'd rather have the federer forehand and the djokovic backhand. Then the Nadal movement. But honestly if you have any of fed's, djok's, or nadal's groundstrokes or movement your pretty set as far as winning is concerned.

yeah federer has a better forehand and his single handed backhand is vulnerable especially against nadals top spin so you would want djoks backhand....he should of included federer's smash, drop shot and tennis brain.

i agree variety is overrated. nadal hits the same topspin-lob forehand every shot, but it works. however feder has a lot of variety and mixes flat, topspin, slice shots. i think variety is good depdending on the player, but if what you're doing works you shouldn't change anything.

@davd1986 .. so what if you're just an average player and don't have the serve talent of Roddick, Nadal's forehand or any abilities of the other players you mentioned .. does that mean you're a loser? Why can't you be yourself, adopt to the situation and get the sense of what this guy, Will Hamilton, is saying and find the "code" and make it work for you? If that doesn't make any sense .. that's because your comment doesn't make sense either.
