You're Losing Your Service Games for These 3 Simple Reasons
Tennis
Are you getting broken almost every service game? Your tennis serve might not actually be the problem—you could be making one or more of these **3 common mistakes**.
In this video, I show recreational and intermediate tennis players how to hold serve more often **without needing a huge first serve or a complete technique overhaul**.
You'll learn:
🎾 Why blasting every first serve can hurt your chances of holding serve
🎾 How to develop a more reliable **"match serve"**
🎾 Why aiming more down the **T** can help you increase your first serve percentage
🎾 Why you should practice your serve when you're **fresh, fully activated, and tired**
Too many players hit first serves harder than they can control, miss too many, and then start the point under pressure after a defensive second serve. A better strategy is to find a serve that is **aggressive enough to challenge your opponent but reliable enough to make consistently**.
Which of these serve mistakes do you need to work on most? Let me know in the comments!
