The one thing that helped me the most with reducing my double faults was shifting my thinking about racquet head speed. Spin gives you control, for more control you need more spin, to get more spin you need more racquet head speed, racquet head speed on 2nd serve should be greater than the first serve. This paradigm shift was the game changer for me.

Yes, that's perfect!

Frustration is always a key element in Tennis, especially at ages above 40. Cause you still know what you actually can do, but due to lack of practice and age only a fraction of that still works. Besides that I forgot what pressure is. Mostly because I don't give a sh... if I win or not. I only care whether I play well.

I serve simulated games. I win 2 of 3 first serves in and 1 of 2 second serves in. Missed 2nd serves are a double of course. It is pretty easy when you start over each game, but if you don’t it can get pretty tough because you might start a game with your 1st first serve in and 1st second serve in losing points. For example I make my first serve, 15-love. I miss my first serve and make my second serve, 30-love. I miss my first serve and make my second serve, 30-15. I make my first serve, 40-15. I make my first serve, 40-30. I double fault, 40-40. I make my first serve, my ad. I miss the first and make the second, my game. At this point you can start over or you could start with 1 first serve in being good and the 1st second serve in losing the point. I aim for corners on the first serve but don’t require them to be in the lanes to count. Really difficult would be requiring both 1st and 2nd serve to be in the target lane. I’d probably go with 3 out of 4 first serves being good in that case.

I don't understand the issue with serves. It's the only stroke in Tennis where it's only you. No spin, no slice, no running. Just toss and hit. My problems start when the return comes back.... Another great video, Meike, think you.

@tennismoos6448 Жыл бұрын

The issue most people have with serves is that (mostly club players) rarely practice their serve. If the pressure in a match is getting on they don't have a decent serve to rely on. Great video anyway.

@grunchlk Жыл бұрын

@@tennismoos6448 I know, and I don't understand. I play on club level and people have great technique for ground strokes, but they can't serve or volley (let alone serve-and-volley). I find returning much more stress than serving. When serving, you set the pace, you are in charge.

Very timely after my serve collapsed in my first tournament despite serving well in all my practice matches

I serve a simulated game. If I get a first or second serve in I win the point. If I get a crappy pushed second serve in I lose the point.

I play a regular set against myself and I almost always win 60. Next I play another set where I only get one serve. This is obviously a little bit tougher but I still win usually 61 maybe 62.
