If you've ever had the feeling that you've been rushed through a match, or if you've had the feeling that somehow a match that you thought you were winning just got off track, or if you've somehow magically made an incredible comeback in a match that you thought you would lose, then you've experienced match momentum.  And controlling match momentum can be a very important part of playing winning tennis.  In this episode, we'll discuss ways to gain and maintain match momentum.

In doubles, strategy is so important.  It can be way more important than the ability to hit a good shot.  But strategy requires thinking.  Wouldn't it be great if you knew some winning strategies that didn't require much thinking at all?  In this episode, I'll give you six strategies that you can apply in any doubles match you play at any point in the match.  These are simple strategies and once you learn them, you can apply them without much thinking at all!

We all know that, as much as it is a physical game, tennis is really a mental game.  And if you are not in the best mental place possible during a match, most likely you are going down.  So when everything's going wrong on the tennis court, how do you get positive?  In this episode, I'll give you 4 quick and easy steps that will help get your head back in the game.

In this week's episode, we'll discuss how you can develop a better, more consistent serve with a service ritual.  A service ritual is the set of movements or mannerisms you go through before each and every one of your serves.  Over time, by consistently following a service ritual, you can train yourself to automatically relax and focus for every serve.

Almost every tennis match begins with the spin of a racquet.  If you win the spin, what do you do?  Serve?  Receive?  Choose sides?  Defer?  In this episode of Tennis Quick Tips, I'll explain why I think you should usually choose to receive and how this can give you an easy advantage over your opponents.

Poaching is such an important tactic in doubles tennis play.  A good poacher can put tremendous pressure on the opposing team and throws off their returns.  Even if you don't have great poaching skills, by making some attempts at poaching, you can throw your opponents off balance.  So how exactly do you become a good poacher?  This episode of Tennis Quick Tips gives you some quick and easy steps to follow to help you start poaching now.

The easiest way to increase the accuracy of your serve and to decrease the number of service faults you hit is to target your serve.  If you are not targeting your serve every single time you hit a serve, you're not hitting the best serve possible.  In this episode, you'll learn exactly how to target your serve and you'll get easy tips on how to make sure you're doing it every time you step on court.
