Watch one point back in real time and you can name the phase of every single
shot in it: neutral, rally ball, rally ball, then attack, then defense, then
neutral, neutral, defense, and then back to offense and offense again.

That is the type of tennis worth aspiring to. An even mix of all three phases,
with the players choosing their targets based on which one they are in at that
moment.

It is also how you beat genuinely good players, and it is not by hitting
everything aggressively, but it is not by hitting everything weakly and super
tentatively either. Neither of those gets you to this level of play.

You have to span all three phases, and inside each one choose the correct racket
head speed, the correct shape and the correct target. Those targets are what let
a player weave in and out of the phases and come out on top even after being in
a really tough situation.

So before your next shot, work out which phase you are actually in, because the
right target for defense is the wrong one for offense.
