I hope that you are all enjoying your tennis experiences, and having fun playing as much tennis as possible. Have you ever tried to understand what type of game style your opponent plays. I have listed the main styles of play below:
The net rusher/serve and volleyed
This type of opponent has the ability to combine the serve and the volley very well, and they move forward toward the net quickly. They also make a high percentage of first services; they try to put you under pressure by making you aware that they are coming at you. Tempting and inviting you to hit the tennis ball away from them. This type of opponent is usually more effective on fast tennis surfaces, rather than slow ones.
The aggressive base liner/good returner
These types of opponents play their tennis shots close to their baseline, taking the ball early with powerful ground strokes. Their forehand is usually a big weapon, and they try to dominate the point from the back court. They are very effective on all types of surfaces but especially on the slower ones. They have good returns but usually not a dominating serve.
The counter puncher
This type of opponent is usually defensive baseline player who reacts to your style of play. They usually allow you to dictate the play. This type of opponent will play a bit further back from the baseline than the aggressive base liner. They are usually physically very fit and mentally strong. They are more effective on slow surfaces than fast ones. Come up against one of these type of opponents and they will tend to vary their style depending on your style, and the court surface.
All round player
Do you really want to meet this type of player, of course you do it will be a real challenge. This opponent is capable of playing all styles of play because they use a variety of pace and consistency. If you aspire to an all round player you will be effective on all types of court surfaces.
