Tennis Terms

The Business End of The Set
Four games all and what do you focus on to keep it simple and play your best? Make a high percentage of first serves. Play solid rather than spectacular returns. Get to net before your opponents. Leave the last point behind and focus on this point.

A Tell
Any verbal or body language hint that tips off your opponents that you are angry or dejected.

Consolidate a break
Winning a serving game immediately after breaking serve by playing high percentage tennis.

Turbulence.
Unnecessary racquet commotion on volleys. You don’t score bonus points for excessive swings when volleying. KISS…..Keep It Simple Sista!

Penultimate.
The next to the last shot. Wisdom dictates that not every shot is the ultimate, point ending shot. Wise are they who place the penultimate shot accurately so the winning shot is pretty routine.
