Tennis Coach Greg

If you're a tennis player, imagine this:

You’re on clay or hard court, and your opponent is fast, consistent, and pushing you behind the baseline. You’re struggling to get inside the court—so how do you take control and get to the net?

Step 1 – Move Forward with Purpose
Start taking the ball at the top of the bounce or just as it’s rising. Even moving forward 1–2 steps per shot builds pressure. Do this for a few shots, and suddenly you’re inside the baseline without forcing it.

Step 2 – Rush or Approach
There are two ways to get to the net:

Rush: If your shot puts them in trouble, and they’re off balance or stretching—rush in for the volley.
Approach: Anticipate a shorter ball by reading cues—are they slicing, reaching, or lunging? If yes, step in and get ready to attack.
Step 3 – Be Intentional
When you’re inside the court, hit low over the net to their backhand and come in. Be decisive—if your shot is good, close the net. If it’s weaker, stay back and recover.

Step 4 – Read at the Net
If they pass down the line, move sideways.
If they pass cross-court, move diagonally forward.
