Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Start at the baseline after serving or returning.
  2. 2Advance through the transition zone one controlled step at a time as in doubles.
  3. 3Cover the full width of the court alone, favoring center recovery position.
  4. 4Only commit fully to the kitchen line once the point allows a clear approach.

What to focus on

Center-court recovery bias since there is no partner to help cover angles.

Common mistake

Camping at the kitchen line too early, exposing the full width behind you.
