Ghosting in to the net- TENNIS MASTERCLASS by Patrick Mouratoglou, EPISODE 2.

#Tennis Tutorial
In this Tennis Masterclass, I talk about the most important shot in the game. The return. Do you want to return like Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, or Andy Murray? Or maybe some of the best on the women’s side, like Simona Halep or Iga Swiatek? Do you want to know how to take advantage of your opponent’s serve and get in their mind?

If so, I have the right strategies and techniques for you.

The goal of the return of serve is to neutralize your opponent by engaging in their first service ball and attacking the second in order to take control of the point.

In this video, I break down each aspect of the return. From your position, grip, split step, contact point, aim, and anticipation… I can assure you that you will leave this video a better returner. Let’s go!
