DOC'S TIP OF THE EVENING -- MOVEMENT

When moving back to hit a tennis ball always turn your body first then use the crossover step as your first move! For example, when preparing to hit an overhead on a deep lob, you would first turn your shoulders then use the crossover step to move backwards. If you are at the baseline, and you need to move diagonally backwards to get behind a deep ball, you must first TURN your BODY, then start the crossover step by using the opposite foot from which side the ball is coming to. afdd
