 Welcome to One Minute Tennis Lessons with The Tennis Mentor. In this video I'm going to show you one of the drills that I like to use to improve a player's ability to keep their opponent under pressure and it's called the danger zone. First of all you need to mark out a zone in the centre of the court it can be a circle or a square. This is the danger zone. The player at this end should aim to hit their shots into the court but avoiding the danger zone. Now doing this cooperatively your aim is to see how many shots you can hit in a row before a mistake is made or a ball lands in the danger zone. If you want to do this drill competitively the players will play the point out as normal however if this player hits the danger zone a point is awarded to their opponent. Both versions of this drill done cooperatively and competitively can be done with a zone at one end of the court or with a zone at both ends of the court like this. Give this drill a go it will definitely get you thinking a little bit more about how your shots could be more effective and it should help you to improve your depth and the quality of your ground strips. Enjoy!
