I think I'll make it an habit! Let's see if you are good enough to implement a sound strategy to your game and think like the pro. As last time; explain the answer given.
Assume that you are both right handed.
1) Your opponent is hitting a forehand cross-court in a neutral situation. You should stand about one to one and a half should length apart from the centre mark toward the sidelines.
Name the alternative to this positioning and explain the offensive advantage it brings.
2) Cross-court rallies are often play and, as a results, players place themselves diagonally and not centred.
Explain why at the net a player would be standing on the same lateral half of the court than his opponent while he would stand at the opposite half when he is at the baseline.
3) Federer often places himself one step further toward the sidelines when he is on the AD side and one step closer to the centre when he is on the Deuce side as he winds up to serve.
If you are Federer serving flat serves, where do you aim in each case and why is this positioning subtle adjustment so important?
