How to Structure a High-Level Tennis Training Week

Key Points

• Most of the week should be spent working on the areas that will be the most impactful for the players game
• Player should generally have 1.5 to 2 days of rest per week, with 10 to 11 sessions in total
• Serving 70 to 80 serves per day can eventually cause injuries
• 2 days per week = 120 serves; 2 days per week = 70 serves; 2 days per week = 20 to 30 serves
• Every practice should include physical, technical and strategic components, even if it’s just 10 to 20 minutes before match play or serving practice
• An easier day of training predominantly including technique or match play, should generally follow a hard physical day
