Movement and Perception

Danil Medvedev’s Footwork Pattern and Reading and Seeing The Ball Earlier

Key Points

  • Try and move just before your opponent hits the ball
  • Read with your eyes as well as your feet
  • For volleys, start moving forward towards the net as your opponent hits the ball
  • Turn and run when recovering from wide shots with big steps, similar to Daniil Medvedev
  • Turn the hips in the direction you are running and use you head and neck to look down the court
  • Short crossover stops when close to the middle, but full run and turn on the wide balls
