Which drills with the ball can you think of when you got a court for yourself apart from service?

If you dont have a ball machine, you can throw the ball up in the air and practice angled shots. You can practice a consistent toss for your serve. You can practice drop shots, topspin lobs, and non-tennis drills (speed drills, footwork drills, etc)

if you have a ball machine, you can definately do plenty of more drills.

When I'm alone on the courts, which is very often, I just stand at the baseline and randomly toss balls far away from me and chase them down, hitting winners on the run. Be careful though, you can hurt yourself like this.

Yesterday, I practiced hitting cupcake second serves. I stood at the T, tossed a ball into the air, and then ran toward it like it was an approach shot. Sometimes slicing, sometimes topspin, sometimes FH, sometimes BH.

Usually missing long, though . . . :(

Id REALLY love to see how you could hurt yourself doing that.


A good thing to do alone is throw balls really high and hit overheads

Practice your serve, it's the single most important stroke in competitive tennis.
