Being able to draw your opponent away from the court will give you an advantage in potentially winning the point. To do this often, one has to be able to create a game situation which will pull the opponent out of the court. We hope the following tactical moves will assist you in giving you an edge in your next game.
The first thing to do is to to able to hit an acute angle ball cross court. This will usually draw your opponent wide out of the court. Usually, a good forehand cross court would do the trick and this will be followed by a weak return from the opponent which you can put away down the line.
Given the high level of difficulty in executing a wide angle shot, one must practice many times to have the feel and confidence of delivering such a shot.
One should only attempt an acute cross court shot when the ball is normally on the right hand side of the tennis court where an inherent angle is created. Such a shot ideally should be executed when the ball is somewhat short and towards the right hand side of the court. Inherently a natural angle is created for you to hit that acute cross court angled shot. Be bold and confident when trying the angled shot.
Lastly, be always on your toes and expect a cross court return from the opponent who is pulled wide. Finish off the weaker return with a down the line shot. Do not underestimate your adversary's ability to retrieve the ball and hit a strong angled return back. Be alert and you will be rewarded for your tactical acumen. Make use of the natural angle created based on where the ball is at your court. Do not be anxious to open up the court unnecessarily.
