As the Pro Tour moves from the American hard courts onto European clay
nike air max 90 nere e rosse , the players will need to make small adjustments to their game because of the different surface. For some, these changes will be
fairly natural, for others the change will be fairly un natural, but changes
will have to be made. The same applies to you!! Here are a few simple changes
you may need to think about and follow when you make the transition to clay
courts. FROM THE BASELINE This first change concerns your ground strokes and is
this hit them higher over the net with a bit more topspin. It sounds like a no
brainer but you would be surprised how many people don?t do it and for many
people adding more topspin ?at will? is something they need to work on. If you
can do this however, you will find that this will not only help with your
consistency, but will also help to push the balls deeper into your opponents
court as well as getting the balls up at heights that they may find difficult to
handle. The second change is to hit behind your opponent more often. Hitting
behind your opponent means hitting the ball back to the same part of the court
that your opponent has just hit from. It means not always going into the open
court (unless you can obviously hit a winner of course) and has 3 big
advantages. 1. With your opponent probably recovering towards the centre of the
court the behind ball means they have to quickly change direction to go back
again. Doing this on clay is very difficult because of the slippery nature of
the surface and so will end up with them struggling to maintain balance and
footing and therefore struggling to control the ball. 2. You will also find that
you make less errors as this often means a cross court shot (more space to aim
into and lower part of the net) and you are not over hitting in an attempt to
put the ball away into the open space. 3. You will pick up a lot of free points
if you can do this well as your opponent is sometimes forced into trying to end
the point quicker than they would normally want to or they will be forced into a
very defensive shot just to stay in the point while they slide around. WHEN
SERVING Just like Rafa
nike air max 90 bianche e nere , focus on getting a high percentage of first serves into play. Because the clay surface negates the power of even the fastest
of serves, your second serve may well be vulnerable to attack. So, getting more
first serves into play will mean your opponent gets less looks at your second
serves and therefore less chances to attack it. If you don t do so already, you
need to develop a good spin serve that you can be aggressive on as your first
serve. A slice is good but a good kick serve will be better as it will bounce up
higher and be harder for opponents to attack. AT THE NET Remember I said earlier
about the use of the hitting behind your opponent when playing from the
baseline?? Well, I also said when you get the chance you should attack and that
can mean getting to the net to finish off the point. Just be aware that
volleying on clay is different to volleying on a hard court or grass court.
Because the ball doesn t go through like it does on other surfaces, you need to
make a couple of small adjustments. 1. Use more angles and shortdrop volleys The
lack of depth on your volleys will work in your favor as getting up speed and
possibly changing direction will be hard for your opponent as they attempt to
get to your shots. 2. Bodyweight into ball If you do decide to play a
penetrating volley
nike air max 90 bianche pelle , then getting your bodyweight behind the ball and moving it forwards into the ball will help it gain momentum off the court
surface and away from your opponent. MOVEMENT I have found that the number one
thing about playing well on a clay court has nothing directly to do with shots.
It is in fact about your movement, more specifically ? SLIDING. Sliding into the
ball on a clay court is vital and is the one thing that the players who don?t
grow up on the surface find the hardest to add into their game. In fact most
people think that you have to learn to hit the ball and then slide. No!! You
have to learn how to slide into your shots and then begin your recovery for the
next ball ? and that requires timing. So how do you learn to do this? Well, one
of the best ways I have seen is to just get out there and slide around. Getting
a partner to throw a tennis ball onto the court in different directions while
you run to and slide around to get the balls before getting the ball back to
them is one of the best ways to work out how to move and recover on a clay
court. Just progresstransfer this game to when you have a racket and are hitting
balls and you are well on the way to feeling comfortable and moving better on
?the dust?. SUMMARY So there you have it, a few simple things you can do to make
your game more effective on clay. Try to implement them slowly and you will be
more successful over the season. Here?s to the best clay court tennis you?ve
