The top players have few weaknesses, however to reach the top in tennis there are 4 essentials I have always put a premium on when developing players. Here are my 4 Must Own shots for players wanting to compete on the professional tour.
# 1 A great serve is a huge asset in tennis. If you can hold serve or even put your opponent on the defensive at the start of each point you will win a large percentage of your service games.
# 2 During a rally the most effective ball is a cross-court (Forehand or Backhand). Dominate the crosscourt exchange and you dominate the rally because you are constantly forcing your opponent to change out of the crosscourt exchange and hit down-the-line.
# 3 A consistent return of serve puts a lot of pressure on your opponent to come up with something extra, either with their serve or during the rally.
# 4 Owning a big forehand allows you to finish the point whenever your opponent hits a short or high ball. Players today are involved in longer rallies and the player with a weapon to finish the rally has a big advantage.
