Coach's Corner, Serve, Tiebreak & Beating the Pusher

Coach's Corner, this week from Ethös

One thing I tell every student who wants a Federer-level forehand: the swing starts from the ground up. Before the racket moves, your outside leg loads and your hips begin to rotate, the arm is the last thing to fire, not the first. This week we go deep on tactics, serve placement, the tiebreak, and beating the players who just get everything back. Pick one, drill it this weekend.
