As we all know, the game of tennis has changed over the years and still continues to evolve today. Racquet and ball technology, string composition and even innovations in fitness and movement training have profoundly affected how the game is played today. The grinding baseline rallies, the use of the open stance, the angular momentum, the kinetic chain, vertical follow throughs, topspin, power and speed just to name a few have become the epicenter of what is now commonly referred to as “modern tennis.”
So check out this week’s tip featuring some of our top USPTA Professionals sharing their perspectives on the modern game.
