Aggressive Swings to Big Targets

Reducing errors doesn’t mean playing passively—it’s about taking smart, aggressive swings to responsible targets and making optimal decisions based on the situation and your playing style.

Key Points

  • Reducing Errors Isn’t Passive:
    Fewer errors = more chances to hit winnersMany players miss trying for low-percentage winners on the wrong shotsTaking aggressive swings to responsible targets is key
  • Play Smart, Not Reckless:
    Tennis isn't gambling—don't rely on low-percentage shotsSprinkle in risk strategically when the opportunity arisesPlaying simply and solidly leads to more wins
  • Think ‘Optimal,’ Not ‘Aggressive or Conservative’:
    Make the best shot choice for the situationExample: A lob on the run isn’t conservative—it’s the optimal playConsider your playing identity (e.g. serve-and-volley vs. baseline grinder) when choosing neutral-play strategies
