ADVICE

Return Deep And Follow To The Kitchen

  • Return serves deep and follow your shot forward to the non-volley zone (NVZ).
  • Move forward immediately after the return and get side-by-side with your partner.
ANECDOTE

Using Spin To Pull Returner Off Court

  • Michael described using right-handed spin from the ad court to pull a left-side returner way off the court.
  • That created a huge gap which his opponents failed to cover and won him several points.
ADVICE

Use A Brief Split Step To React

  • Use a split step as a tiny hesitation to load springs and improve reaction.
  • Land light and immediately move in the direction of the opponent's paddle rather than holding the split step position.
