5. Master the Serve
The serve is arguably the most important shot in tennis. Every point starts with a serve and it often sets the tone for the point. Would you rather start the point on offense or defense? Master the serve and take control of your matches!
Every tennis players knows that a powerful serve can change the dynamic of the game. A big server is never fun to face. So why do players still overlook practising the serve? Many players find serve practise repetitive and boring.
Use Zenniz to make serving fun and informed. Try the serve drill by Zenniz to stay motivated when serving. The data provided from the serve drill also allows you to see how well you are serving and how you can improve your serve.
Here are some serve-specific statistics to keep track of:
First serve percentage: The first serve percentage is crucial if you want to play dominant tennis. Free points on-serve don’t matter if you can’t make first serves consistently. Try decreasing your serve speed and adding spin to achieve a higher first-serve percentage. Aim for a first-serve percentage of 60-80% to make sure you take “controlled risks” to achieve an upper hand in points on your serve.
Serve more: Don’t expect to improve your serve if you don’t practise it. You have to hit a lot of serves to master it. Stay motivated during your serving sessions with Zenniz!
Accuracy: You need to be able to serve to different areas with accuracy to keep the returner on his toes. Changing up the target for your serve is one of the most effective ways to get more free points on your serve.
Tracking these statistics helps you understand which areas of your serve are strong and which could be improved.
