Hey, hey, this is Shaun with the GoTennis Podcast powered by Signature Tennis.

Speaker:

Today's tennis tip comes from coach Nathan Singleton.

Speaker:

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker:

Hello everyone, this is Nathan from FirstServeUniversity.com, your tactical specialist here to give you advice on how

Speaker:

to win more matches.

Speaker:

Today let's talk more about the serve and having variety.

Speaker:

One of the most common mistakes that servers make is they don't mix it up enough.

Speaker:

And I'm not just talking about switching from your wide serve to your body serve to your

Speaker:

T-serve.

Speaker:

I'm talking about playing with the pace and your position.

Speaker:

As far as pace is concerned, sometimes throwing a kick serve on the first serve, throwing

Speaker:

a slice down the tee, throwing a hard serve out wide.

Speaker:

Instead of the slice serve, and then also adjust your position on the baseline.

Speaker:

Sometimes staying really close to the hash mark, sometimes staying close to the alley.

Speaker:

Like a good pitcher and baseball.

Speaker:

You never give the same pitch over and over again.

Speaker:

All that does is give them practice over the match until they start to get used to it and

Speaker:

then start to hit good returns.

Speaker:

So next time you're in a match, make sure that you use a lot of variety and see how you

Speaker:

start to win more easy points.

Speaker:

This is Nathan from FirstServeUniversity.com here to give you advice on how to win more matches.

Speaker:
