• Serve: Always mix your serve when playing a match. This way there will be more difficult to your opponent to read your serve. For example, you can hit a flat serve to the middle or a sliced serve on the deuce side and spin serve to the add size. Also, is very important to maintain a first serve percentage to at least 60%. To achieve that, you should practice three times a week with a bucket of balls.

• Drop shots: When hitting a drop shot, it is very important that you hit it when you are inside the baseline. That way the ball will reach the other size quicker leaving your opponent with less time to get to the ball. Remember that the best court surface to try drop shots is clay.

• Approach: Hitting approach is a good way to keep the aggressiveness of your game. In order to hit the best approach, you should make sure that you are inside the baseline and your body moving forward to the net. The most successful approaches are the ones that are hit down the line.

• Playing doubles: When playing doubles there are certain tips that you should follow. One is that your first serve should be at least 80% efficient. To achieve that, you should hit it with certain spin or sliced, avoid hitting flat serves. Second, your return of serve should go right to the middle especially if your opponent has a big serve. That way, you will put the ball in play and then you can go for the big shot. And third, when you have both of your opponents at the net, you should try hitting low right to the middle. Playing crosscourt will give more chance to your opponents to get close to the net and finish the point.

• Shaping up: All the muscles in your body are important to the game of tennis. Along with practicing, you should have a gym routine with weights and a jogging routine mixed with short in-court running in order to improve your speed.
