“Cut back on your errors”

Most of the points in a tennis match are over after only three or four hits. At every level, the majority of points are lost and not won. This means that most of the points are won due to errors rather than winners.

The best way to understand errors is to learn the four mistakes in tennis. They are:

hitting the ball into the net
hitting the ball over the baseline
hitting the ball wide to the left
hitting the ball wide to the…

Clijsters upset by Li at Sydney

It's about time for me to put up a good women's final and here it is. Clijsters was up 5-0 in the first set but failed to close out.

This may change the outlook of who may win the Australian for…

Del Potro on the comeback, defeats Lopez narrowly.

Del Potro looked sharp enough, frustrating Lopez at the beginning. His trademark forehand and rock solid two hander all seemed intact, along with that thundering serve.
