Win More Singles Matches | 1 Simple Tip

"If you accidentally win a huge lottery, you get to keep the money." Man that had me busting up.

I once heard John MCEnroe explain that when he attacked the net the statistics broke down in his favor. 25% he would get passed, 25% his opponent hit it out, 25% he had a easy volley and 25 % he had a volley that he could make if he did it correctly. If you are a good at hitting volleys the percentage is in your favor. Personally I started moving in at every opportunity right away in the match so I got into the volley grove. If you wait until set point or tie breaker you will not be confident. Don’t stay back and just “ hit and hope” move in and make it happen. Play lots of practice sets then matches where you attack the net. Do lots of drills and skills training to develop your volley. Don’t be afraid to lose some sets or matches to improve. Practice the way you want to play and play to win.

Thanks alot for that shoutout and great analysis! Ill be uploading more of my footage when I can so just let me know if you want to use more 😁🎾

Love your brilliant tip. Your analysis is amazing!! Thanks, Ryan!

Awesome video !!! I feel so fortunate to receive coaching from you . 🙏🙏

Thanks. You’re just the absolute BEST online coach out there!! 👍👏👏

Thank you for the great tennis video. Have a great day today.

And I would think just moving forward adds additional pressure, which will likely draw more errors by your opponent.

You are the BEST . Thanks you take so much time for helping players to level up .

This is an excellent video!!! There are not enough videos showing WTA players technique. Also, Serena has never gotten credit for her shot selection or technique.

Good analysis; thank you for your private lessons too!

Awesome stuff !!!

Great lesson, thank you so much

Good tips, thanks our new friend. Have a great day and night to all 👍

Nice tip! Big thanks!

Thanks again great tips.!👍

Great tip. Sounds eerily familiar. I'll take that as a compliment ;) -Jason Frausto

Great explanation!

Fantastic. Thanks

Great stuff

Très astucieux comme stratégie merci beaucoup Thank U guy

Thank you. I go very often to the net but many times I get lob. I think maybe I run too fast and too close to the net, and sometimes my shots are not fast enough.

Good advice, however, in order to execute it one needs to: 1. Have proper volley technique. 2. Be fit-getting to the net and back takes a lot of effort and 3. Use proper approach shots, otherwise your opponent will pass or lob you if he has enough time to prepare. Anyway, a good player must be able to get to the net. Thanks for the analysis.

Nice analysis - now all I have to do is learn to play net! :-)

Yessir that is the GOAT.

Awesome Video. Like.

Great lesson, how many times have we hit epics shots and watched them instead of closing in on the net! I like how Serena is heading toward the net before the ball even bounces on the opponent's side...

Fantastic tip Ryan. If Fed loses 51% of points from baseline then that completely explains why I’m losing matches

I have heard John McEnroe explain his constantly attacking the net tactics in this way. Passing shot errors 25%, easy volley 25%, average make able volley 25% and passing shot winner 25%. If you make the majority of those average volleys the percentage is in your favor. Many recreational players would be surprised how many errors or easy setup shots they could get by moving forward when they move their opponents out of position. Being a high school tennis coach I have coached lots of matches and given the same advice as Ryan.

Correct - if you get a deep hard shot to the corner Automatically take the net. Plan on it before you hit the shot - say I will smoke this to corner and take the net edging a little closer to the corner you just hit - do not take the net in the court middle .

Great!

that is indeed 1 simple but powerful tip

Works for Tennis Clash too! 😁

It's completely true, I remember winning only 3 crucial points by moving forward and volleying against an opponent way much better then me

It really depends on your skills and your opponent. If you have very strong volleys and smashes and are struggling at the baseline then attack the net. If your opponent has an amazing lobs and passing shots perhaps better to avoid the net. Federer obviously decided he had an advantage with his amazing net skills vs other players so chose to come in more. Serena just hates rallies - she's built for power not endurance, so she just attacks absolutely everything to end points fast. Other players (e.g. Djokovic or Halep) will look to rally from the base line more. In the currents pro men's game nearly everyone stays back other than the odd "surprise" serve and volley. If anything you see them drawing an opponent to the net with a drop shot to put them out-of-position meaning they can put away any return for a winner. So ending up at the net is generally a bad thing because you are too easy to pass.

Not a fan of Serena at all, but she smokes that ball......love your channel, great content and presentation.

You can clearly see Serena at first wanting to go back to the middle of the baseline until she realizes what nice shot she made 😂 Baut great video

Nice tip. But Federer stats from baseline are misrepresent. He plays after his serve more offensive(before baseline) and on the return he is naturally in defense. Sometimes on huge defense. So as for me it's nice ratio 49 % for him.

Did Federer always have that much success coming to the net, or is that something he began doing later in his career?

She flattened out down the line shot. If she hit ton of topspin the opponent would have more time. The ball crossed net on fairly low trajectory.

With the kind of guys I play, if I don't wait and watch the ball drop in, they're gonna call it out fore I reach the service line.

Wish we had YT way back in the 70's. I would have ended up being a much better player..

The fact that he won 49% of his points at the baseline and 71% at the net makes no sense in my opinion. If he goes to the net, it is because he is attacking his oppenent; in other words, he theoretically already took the advantage of the rally at this moment (just before moving to the net). It would be like saying: Federer won 71% of his points when he hit a shot that got his opponent in severe trouble. My conclusion: data bias. Your opinion?

It's a pity, but Serena Williams forget to do split step before volley, as you teach us in your latest videos.😂🎾🇷🇺

@2MinuteTennis I really like you videos and tips, but with this one I very much disagree. Especially with the premise that simply going to the net will win you more matches. To me going to the net is very overrated and simply the fact that most of the pros avoid it as the plague is a proof enough. If it was an easy way of "winning more singles matches" don't you think more people would do it all of the time. Also your analysis of RFs wining percentages and stating that if he didn't do it, he would be losing in the first round is just not true to put it mildly. If he was winning 75% of his net points it is because before he went to the net he got his opponent in trouble. I am pretty sure that even if he didn't go to the net in those instances, once he got control of the rally, he would still manage to win the point in most cases. Also maybe the 25% of points he lost while going to the net, he could have won from the baseline?!?! which will again get him well above 49%. Fact is if you are not RF and you don't poses good ground game with which to control the rallies and get your opponent in trouble before you approach the net, plus (VERY IMPORTANT) the ability to volley AND hit overheads in your sleep, going to the net is a loosing proposition. Just ask the opponents of MEP over on the TennisTroll's channel :). Just to be clear, I am not saying "never go to the net", if you can construct the point in a way that you get your opponent in trouble, sure there is no harm in finishing the point early, but if you just wake up one morning and decide that from today I will be going to the net more and will win more matches, you will be bitterly disappointed.

He attacked the net because he came at the backend of the Sampras, Agassi, edberg that was the norm.

First!

Pls don’t use Serena as an example, she has no good moral. I’m sorry. I love to watch your tips but not Serena.

Great!
