Instructions
- 1Have the returner stand two steps inside the baseline before each serve.
- 2Serve normally, resisting the urge to rush the motion because of the visual pressure.
- 3Call out your target zone before each serve to reinforce a pre-serve routine.
- 4Track serves that still land deep despite the pressure look.
What to focus on
Sticking to a fixed pre-serve routine under distraction.
Common mistake
Speeding up the toss/drop and shortening the swing to serve faster.
