What is Kobo Super Points?
There were flat, spin, slice, and American Twist serves, topspin forehand and backhand drives, slices, volleys, overheads. The western grip, which has become the most common over the past decade or two, was in use back in Furthermore, Johnston also used the same grip on his backhand--he hit his backhand on the same racquet face as he hit his forehand, without shifting his grip at all. This is exactly what I do, and I thought I was in uncharted territory.
For example, on his backhand drive, his left arm hangs limply by his side. In what other athletic motion would you not move the left arm? Ultimately his is a sad story. Some players, such as Tommy Haas , Roger Federer and Andy Roddick will only employ this strategy on grass courts or as a surprise tactic on any surface. Roger Federer uses this commonly against Rafael Nadal , to break up long rallies and physically taxing games. All-court players, or all-rounders, have aspects of every tennis style, whether that be offensive baseliner, defensive counter-puncher or serve-and-volleyer.

All-court players use the best bits from each style and mix it together to create a truly formidable tennis style to play against. All-court players have the ability to adjust to different opponents that play different styles more easily than pure baseliners or serve and volleyers. All-court players typically have the speed, determination and fitness of a defensive counter-puncher, the confidence, skill and flair of offensive baseliners and have the touch, the agility around the net and tactical thinking of the serve-and-volleyer.
However, just because the all-court player has a combination of skills used by all tennis styles does not necessarily mean that they can beat an offensive baseliner or a defensive counter-puncher or even a serve-and-volleyer. It just means it would be more difficult to read the game of an all-court player.
Holding serve is crucial in tennis. To hold serve, serves must be accurately placed, and a high priority should be placed on first serve percentage. In addition, the velocity of serve is important.

A weak serve can be easily attacked by an aggressive returner. The first ball after the serve is also key. Players should serve in order to get a weak return and keep the opponent on the defense with that first shot. For example, following a wide serve, it is ideal to hit the opponent's return to the open court.
There are three different types of serves and each one of them can be used in different situations. One type of serve is the serve with slice.
The slice serve works better when the player tosses the ball to the right and immediately hits the outer-right part of the ball. This serve is best used when you hit it wide so you get your opponent off the court. Another type is the kick serve. To achieve a good execution, the player must toss the ball above the head and immediately spin the bottom-left part of the ball.

Since the ball is tossed above the head, it is necessary for the player to arch correctly under the ball. This serve is best used as second serve because the amount of spin that is added to the ball makes it very safe. The kick serve is also effective when a change of rhythm is needed or when the opponent struggles with the high bounce that results from the effect. A third type of serve is the flat one. To execute this serve, the player must toss the ball right in front and immediately hit the middle-top part of the ball.
This is usually a very hard serve and therefore risky. However, if the flat serve is executed with enough power and precision, it can turn into a great weapon to win points faster. Though strategy is important in singles, it is even more important in doubles.

The additional width of the alleys on the doubles court has a great effect on the angles possible in doubles play. Consequently, doubles is known as a game of angles. The ideal is both-up strategy, often called "Attacking Doubles" because the net is the "high ground", and the both-up strategy puts both players close to it, in a position to score because of their excellent vantage points and angles.
A team in the both-up formation, however, is vulnerable to a good lob from either opponent at any time. To be successful with Attacking Doubles, teams must have effective serves and penetrating volleys to prevent good lobs and good overhead shots to put away poor returns. Teams that play attacking doubles try to get into the both-up formation on every point. When serving , their server follows most first serves to the net and some second serves. As a result, attacking doubles is also called serve-and-volley doubles.
When receiving, their receiver follows most second-service returns to the net. At the professional level, attacking doubles is the standard, though slowly degrading, strategy of choice. At lower levels of the game, not all players have penetrating volleys and strong overhead shots.
