This article will share with you some tips on how to improve tennis that you have been playing. Tennis is a though sport, but you can improve right now if you wanted to. So do not let anyone stop you from getting better. If you are interested to get better in tennis, do one or all of the following steps according to your needs.

  1. To improve your overall game, find a training partner that around the same level as you and play with him or her as many times as possible. If you wonder why it must be around the same level as you, the reason is if your play partner too good, you will likely be frustrated and quit every time you play. If it is around the same level, you know you can beat him or her, but you will need more effort. This will push you to play to your limit, therefore you can learn much more. One more tips which is optional, when you play, play with a small bets, for example winner pay today lunch. This is to encourage you to have mentality ‘play to win’ and not ‘play not to lose’.

  2. If you are alone, you can try to hit the ball to the ground with your racket to improve your feeling for your racket sweet spot. If you want more challenge, find a flat wall around your house or anywhere you like, draw the net on the wall and hit the ball to the wall as if you are playing a match with the wall as your opponent. If you want even more challenge, find a wall with an irregular surface. Irregular surface will cause the ball to bounce back to any direction so it will train you in your reflex, speed, and your swing. From my experience, try not to use a lot of power when you hit unless you can follow the ball.

  3. Run, run, and run. There is no such thing as walking when you are playing tennis. You must run all the way in the game. So you need to improve your run. Train your run by running while lifting your knee as high as possible. Train yourself to run backwards. If for any reason you cannot run outside, you can try skipping rope to replace it.
