I. Technical level
Tennis is a highly technical sport, which needs to master a variety of skills and techniques. First of all, players must have good serve and receive skills, which is the basis of the game. Secondly, players need to master a variety of offensive hitting techniques, such as forehand, backhand, topspin and backspin.
These techniques require players to have good hand feeling, strength and coordination. In addition, players also need to have high skills in front of the net, including volley, high-pressure ball and small ball in front of the net. These techniques require players to have good anticipation and reaction ability.
Second, the tactical level.
Tennis tactics are also crucial. In the game, players need to formulate appropriate tactics according to their opponents' technical characteristics, their own state and the progress of the game.
For example, when the opponent's backhand position is excellent, the player can try to keep the ball in the opponent's backhand position and make the best use of the opponent's weakness; When the opponent surfs in front of the net, the player can disrupt the opponent's rhythm by accurately passing the ball horizontally in front of the net; When the opponent is in a bad state, the player can take offensive play and actively expand the score advantage.
Third, the psychological level.
The psychological aspect of tennis is also very important. In the game, players need to remain calm, confident and focused to avoid being affected by emotional fluctuations. For example, when the opponent plays a good ball, the player needs to remain calm and unaffected; At the critical moment of the game, players need to maintain self-confidence and believe in their technical and tactical arrangements.
When the game loses points, players need to stay focused and adjust their status quickly. In addition, players need to learn to cope with various pressures, such as audience pressure, competition pressure and opponent pressure. Players need to have good psychological quality and coping ability in order to maintain their best state and play.
To sum up, tennis skills, tactics and psychology are very important. Only by having a high level in these three aspects can we achieve excellent results in the competition. At the same time, tennis also requires athletes to have high physical fitness, endurance, concentration and self-confidence and other psychological qualities. Therefore, if you want to be an excellent tennis player, you need to constantly carry out all-round training and promotion.
