Serve Stability: The One Mistake Killing Your Power

🎯 TIP OF THE WEEK

@noahstennistips breaks down a common mistake on the serve—moving your front foot. 🚫👣 

Take a cue from Sinner @janniksin: keep that front foot grounded for better balance, power, and consistency.

Want a stronger serve? Start from the ground up. 🎾🔥.

🎾 DRILL TO TRY

@alexander.meliuk.tennis reminds us that short, precise swings are the secret to net dominance. 🎯🏆

A compact volley means faster reactions, better balance, and consistent winners.

Sharpen your technique and take control! 🚀.
