The best players are very consistent in their tactical patterns. They play fast but avoid risk. Our evaluations of the professional game will show you how they achieve this.
In this example (Watch the video) we focus on how the pro players use spin to play safer. They are able to hit the ball well inside the court but with so much spin that the second bounce is well beyond the baseline.

Top tennis players make the game look effortless. They seem to play with ease and always maintain control. Our analysis provides answers to the question: How does a top player master the game of tennis in this way?
