Thanks for your tip on Concentration. It really helped me up my percentage by a big margin, and the fact that I am confident about my second serve, is helping me be more positive on the 1st Serve.
Also, you are right about fitness. The…"
Coach Kyril left a comment for Owais"'Topspin' serves are actually a mix of topspin and side spin. Use an eastern backhand grip, keep your toss above your head, keep your elbow up, pronate, and keep your head after contact. If you do all this, you will gain the…"

What grip should one use for the Top Spin Serve? I have tried your Serve Technique, and it works Great. But, I'd like to know, How does one develop consistency on the Serve. Say, Like Hitting 70% First Serves."

- Kyril,
Thanks for your tip on Concentration. It really helped me up my percentage by a big margin, and the fact that I am confident about my second serve, is helping me be more positive on the 1st Serve.
Also, you are right about fitness. The fitter I get, the better I am able to handle the supple footwork, and positioning for each shot.

Steve Viglione said… - Hey Coach Kyril,
Im trying desperately to find your e-mail address to get in touch with you but cant seem to find it anywere. I was hoping I could send you a little something about our site and a few ideas to work something out between what my site does and what you do! My site offers a place for pros to submit articles, tips, and vidoes (many pros use it to drive traffic to their own sites). Do you think you can send me your e-mail and ill send you a little more info.
Thanks!

- Hi Coach K (the other coach k)! It's great to have you here! There's going to be tons of great ways for you to take advantage of Tennisopolis. You can easily post your same blogs here and add links in them that draw traffic to your own blog site. You can also start a Coack Kyrils Students group and invite all your students - you can post pictures and send out announcements in the group page. You can also customize this page with photos, rates, links, etc.
If you need any help, just ask.

This is my *new* generic welcome message that, fortunately, is required due to the enormous growth. We're growing by 100 new members a day, and I just couldn't keep up. But that's a good thing. ;-)
Invite your friends too. We’re trying to reach 20,000 members by Wimbledon. :-)
You just joined a super fun and infectious "community-based" tennis social network which connects tennis players, fans, coaches, and you.
To get started, please upload a photo or avatar for yourself (if you haven’t already.) Whether it's of you, your dog, or your racquet it doesn't matter, but it helps people remember you. You can also personalize Your Page with pictures, links, RSS feeds, colors and more here.
If you are looking to meet people for tennis matches, Look through the Groups or create a Group of your own and invite your tennis contacts. It's a good place to keep in touch with everyone in your circle.
Here’s a primer on how to meet other players.
The Forum is really the hub of the online community. Other places to explore: post youtube videos, add your own photos, write your own blog.
…and just hang out and meet great people.
Welcome aboard,
Mark
