 Welcome to One Minute Tennis Lessons with The Tennis Mentor. In this video I'm going to show you when to attack, rally and defend. Now generally when you're in a point and you're around the baseline area here, your aim is to keep the ball in play and to try to apply pressure to your opponent so you are in the rally phase. If for whatever reason your opponent manages to push you backwards into this zone, your aim is to defend so that you can get yourself back into a better position to get back into the rally. When defending, aiming high and deep is a good way to get yourself back into the point. If your opponent gives you a shorter ball or you manage to get yourself into this zone, then your aim is to attack. When attacking you want to hit the ball harder, take the ball earlier or hit the ball lower to take your opponent's time away and to apply pressure. Your aim here is to win the point or to put them into a position where you can have an even easier shot on the next ball. And finally, if you ever find yourself in this zone, you must finish the point. If you don't, you're going to be in a vulnerable position for the next ball. Give these tactics a go when you next play and be sure to subscribe to see my future content.
