The ITA and college tennis continue to be leaders in the sports world at this critical moment, working hard to demonstrate how tennis can return as a safe sport. In recent years striving together has been an overarching theme of the ITA… players, coaches and officials committing to fashion an environment whereby exceptional tennis technique, strategy, tactics and sportsmanship are combined with well-considered rules to create contests of “worthy rivals.” As the 2020-2021 competitive season gets under way, once again we want to ensure that tennis matches are conducted in a safe and fair manner and that attention to the health and welfare of all involved is coupled with qualities of character such as integrity, honesty and trustworthiness.

  • How to Win Singles Matches
    How To Win Singles Matches Five Tactics To Win More Matches: 1. The Golden Tactic 2. Bread and Butter 3. Coast to Coast 4. Controlling Time 5. Superpowers Please Share This PDF! If you enjoy this tactics guide, please share it with your tennis friends. We want to help as many tennis players around the world, by sharing this PDF, you’re helping us to do exactly that! Tactic One - The Golden Tactic If your opponent makes five balls in a point and you make six, you win the point. It’s very simple. The golden tactic is less strategy but more a mindset. Any tactic you try to use will only work if you can do it within tactic one - be more consistent than your opponent. Too often, players will do too much and beat themselves in the match. They’ll overhit, go for big second serves and play low percentage tennis. Very often, all that is needed to win matches at all levels of the game is to simply be more consistent than your opponent. Out-rally them! Find your opponents threshold, in the first few games of the match, get yourself into a few long rallies and see when your opponent breaks down. Is there a pattern? Maybe they break down around six shots in, maybe ten shots in. Most players will break down at a certain level and you’ll know that it takes “X” amount of shots to break them down! The entire match, whenever you need to win a point and don’t want to force play too much, you can always fall back on being more consistent than them.
