Great analysis! One thing I'd like to see on the approach other than as you say to hit more aggressively is to hit down the line instead becasue: 1) Being a shorter physical distance for the ball to move, it will reduce the baseliner's time even more 2) That side of the court was more open- further for the baseliner to run 3) It's an inside-in shot which is generally easier to hit 4) It reduces the distance that the net player needs to move to recover ready for the first volley
Great footwork by Bruce leading up to that first passing shot! So hard to get out of the way of the ball, and to have the calmness and presence of mind to keep it low. I bet he’s a tough opponent.
Should Curtis have been moving through his approach shot? It seems he stopped his movement to take the shot and took a moment to begin moving again - this may have cost him several feet of distance to the net. I thought you generally want to stop to hit the approach only on a high or very slow ball that you think you're going to put away or really hurt your opponent.
Hello sir.....I'm a recreational tennis player from India....I'm able to crush some forehands and get a winner which I earlier couldn't do....but the only thing is I couldn't create any power while serving...0 power and my opponent just hits a winner in my every serve.....what can I do to fix this issue....???

The two returns are so good
Agreed. Thanks!!
Ryan, can you do a video on returning body serves? I feel like the first motion after landing the split step is quite difficult
Here’s the video you’re looking for. Go to the 14 minute mark : th-cam.com/video/bEmQwy-w7VA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ybYs2PcLIqnu9C-3

Very good eye. The footwork he used required him to hit a better approach shot bc of what you said.

Curtis should've hit an inside in forehand me thinks.
