TENNIS TIPS
See here very interesting tips from the "Top Tennis Training team".
How To Play Loose and Relaxed Tennis (Federer Style) In order to produce effortless power and high-quality strokes, on a consistent basis, we have to be able to remain relaxed and loose with our technique.
When our muscles are tight and stiff, the range of motion is extremely limited and the power capacity of our strokes will diminish greatly.
You may be able to create power with a tense and tight body for a few shots, but you definitely won't be able to maintain that for the duration of a 2-3 hour match or a tournament.
On the flip side of that, we have a player like Roger Federer who looks so relaxed with his swings, even when it's 5 all in the fifth set of a grand slam final.
