What the good game is?

The basis of a good game is the player always being in the correct position. This requires good footwork and correct ball direction and placement.

What is the correct position on the court during the game?

The position that gives equal chances of the tennis player reaching the ball in each of its directions. We want to emphasize that correct position is not always in the middle of the possible directions of the ball.

Are there exceptions?

Exceptions can always be seen during any match, but the main reasons for these exceptions are mostly ignorance and/or inability of the playing players to take the right position on the court.

What will we consider?
In this website we will provide some precise calculations regarding the game situations described, but for them to be valid you must keep in mind that there are other factors affecting those computations such as the existing correlations between the age and the level of the players, their physical capabilities and their ability to place the ball with sufficient speed in the appropriate target zones.

Why do I have to learn that?
By placing the ball in the appropriate target zone one simultaneously will increase the time necessary for his opponent to reach the ball and it will shorten his own time necessary to get to his next court position. By repetitively working on those skills, the players will be able to execute their decisions when necessary without doubts. The players will be able to dictate the point; this in most cases will lead to the winning of the point.

For Coaches
Based on my personal experiences while working with children, the kids that have used the system described in this website have made quicker improvements and have reached good results in a short time period. The main advantage is that the children create a habit to play and think tactically correct from very early age. The children will make many mistakes in the beginning but it is only natural. However, with time as the children’s technical skills and physical abilities improve the children will be able to reach the appropriate tactical decision during a real game situation without difficulties and this leads to extraordinary results.

For Players
It is natural that some doubts exist regarding the execution of shoots located close to the borders of the zones. In this instance, it is crucial that the player take proper and quick decision. Inevitably, some decisions might seem better than others might at least at glance however; this is not always the case. Therefore, a decision based on adequate evaluation of the existing situation and on all available options is necessary.
