Semi-Pro
Hey everyone, I'm getting back into tennis and this is a set I played earlier today. I ended up losing 4-6 in the video and 0-6 after I stopped recording. I'm the guy in black shirt and white shorts.
I never played competitively other than high school division 5, and am entirely self taught. I gained quite a bit of weight since I last played, and am struggling to keep up with my opponent. I would normally just rally whenever I would go hit, but figured I'd try playing more sets.
Usually my ground strokes are much better during rallies... but playing sets; it's difficult to hit to proper shot in the proper position because the ball is coming at me inconsistently, and I suppose that's tennis in it's essence.
I recognize my footwork is crud, and everything else really, but what could I do to improve my game overall? What should I prioritize?
The video is an entire set unedited so... those who are bored or genuinely curious/kind, please feel free to watch it.
Thanks.
