Coach Nemanja’s Tip of the Week: Inside Out Forehand
“The important thing during the long rally is to try to find a weakness in your opponent. For example, if your opponent has problem with their backhand, put more pressure during the long rally on the backhand side of your opponent. Be patient, wait for a short ball and make small steps around the ball, keeping your body forward. Go for a winner with an inside out forehand. For this shot your footwork and timing need to be perfect. Good luck!”
