Compare 3 videos of Stefania Boffa. Picture 1 is the still of the video one frame before contact where you see Stefi reaching with her arms without stepping forward positively, which causes her upper body to collapse and her behind to stick out (typical picture of negative footwork)

Still of video 2 one frame before contact shows slight overreach but very good forward step so the upper body does not collapse.

When you land in the court after the serve it is important to have a large 1st step into a split before stepping into a volley. In the first clip you see the type of length of step required. We also show a 2 step aproach from Stefy. We show two correct clips and an incorrect clip.

In this video clip George Bastl (who beat Sampras in his last Wimbledon) wrong foots MCTA Player Ilija Vucic twice in a row. This happens because Ilija is recovering and looking towards moving to the open court. Observe, especially in the second point how George does not even hit the ball hard to put Ilija in trouble. It is always a good idea to test your opponent by serving and then placing the ball back to the side that you have served to, as many players make the error that Ilija has made, looking to cover the open court rather than balancing properly to be ready to move either way.

In the following tip we will show the importance of a wide base when playing tennis.

We have video of a player called Tim, who asked us to analyse his game.
