HTP Tennis Tips (Stay with your shot)

Pretend your opponent is invisible… Especially in doubles.

You’ll need steady nerves and a variety of shots to beat an opponent who has ventured to net. Don’t panic that’s what you’re told any time your opponent attacks the net and challenges you to come up with a passing shot. As we all know, that’s easier said than done. With someone draped over the net trying to rob you of time, it’s hard not to feel rushed and flustered. Instead of focusing on executing the shot, you get consumed with the player in front of you. Rather than hit a solid shot that forces your opponent to volley, you commit an unforced error.  This is what you have to do in this situation: Treat the pass as just another shot. You need to prepare early, pick and stick with a target, and complete your swing. Here’s how to rise above the pressure and hit a winning passing shot. Just pretend your opponent is not at the net, and just hit your shot. I think you will find more often then not. You will come away with a lot more points in the match, and a lot less of those unforced errors. Remember pick your shot then stick with your shot. Pick it and Stick it !!!
