In reply to Martin. Thanks, Martin! Math skills are great for tennis, stay tuned for more topics on math and probability in the future as I start to tackle more the tactics part of the game.

Very excellent blog and post. Thank you very much

I am a research mathematician so I have a tendency to think too much.

The best match I played in junior ínter-club tennis in argentina was with 5 hours sleep, and with 5 hours sleep I can’t think much

In reply to Diksha Chakravarti. Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback, Diksha! Improving is always nice but enjoying our current tennis skills is also something we must not forget. When we focus on good hits and not pay much attention to mistakes then our experience of tennis can change to the positive.

Dear Tomaz…I could cry having read your article; I have loved tennis for a long time and decided to try and learn it at the ripe old age of 60! I had regular coaching for a couple of years but I never got to practice in between coaching sessions; then we were hit by the Pandemic and I have only just found a club where I can play social tennis. I am now 65, relatively fit and still eager to be a good club level player…but I think that might be a goal too far. Growing up I played badminton but my hand eye co-ordination has always been poor. So, I have stopped coaching sessions and am trying to simply enjoy playing tennis with other humans and getting the occasional ball over the net! I have given up trying to improve my strokes because it was frustrating me so much, I wanted to give up. Thank you for all the videos you post, I love watching them because I think tennis is ballet on court…

In reply to Robyn.

And thank you, Robyn, for sharing your feedback!

Yes, tennis is one of those sports that look deceptively simple and yet it is in my opinion the most difficult sport to master.

And because we fail to see the difficulty of it we blame ourselves.

Stay tuned, I plan to release a series of videos this year to demonstrate this “invisible” difficulty of tennis and make it visible and obvious.

I told my Dad, who was a coach, when I was eight years old that I hated tennis and wanted to stop playing. He refused to let me off the hook. Five decades later, I’m on the court five times a week and hope to keep playing as long as I possibly can.
I can only say if my dad had explained the game of tennis in the way you have in this article I would not have had so very many frustrated moments where I told myself I was rubbish as a player and questioned why I bothered playing at all.
No one was harder on me than I was and now I realise I was my worst enemy on the court and that I beat myself far more often than I have been beaten by my opponents.
I’ve followed your channel for a long time and it has helped my understand more of the technical side of the game.
But this, this has absolutely changed the way I think about the game and how I play it. Thanks so much!
