- Win more matches by using your brain and not just your muscles!
Use height, width of the court, spin and time as your weapons to force errors. Unless your'e world-class (and even then it's rare) that you win matches by hitting more winners than making errors. Which, at rec level, is what you do when you try to play harder instead of smarter!

Hands-down the best tennis coach on CZcams and IRL!
I love you Meike- You speak so much sense! Best tennis coach on U tube.
The best advice I've ever heard 👏👏
There are many instructional tennis video creators on CZcams. In my opinion, you're the best. High quality content, and to the point.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate your support and very kind words!
I agree. You're hands-down the best tennis coach on CZcams and IRL!
Too good !
One of the best and simplest videos about strategy, and how to complicate your opponent's life in order to win more often.
Thank you! Feel free to subscribe and share my channel with your tennis friends :-)
Good tactics. I was a little surprised that 1. attacking the net and 2. hit a drop shot were on the list. I agree with all your points though.
many thanks! great tips ..
Excellent! Thanks
You are welcome!
Loving the lesson series. Way to go Meike!
Here's to 10k soon!
Cheers!
MM
Fingers crossed! Thank you for your support!
This is awesome! Thanks Meike!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the tips about angles. This is an area I haven't really explored in my 30+ years of playing.
It's going to be fun making your opponents run a lot more :-)
I really really like this. I will try mixing it up tomorrow. I alredy use the short angles but will add the high bounce next.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
great stuff coach!
Glad you liked it!
Your practical Tips are valuable!
Glad you think so! Feel free to recommend my channel to your tennis friends!
Great ideas!
Glad you like them!
I watched the highlights of Petra vs Ostapenko today. They both use the angle shots to get winners. The difference from them and what you said here is they were able to do it even behind baseline. Thanks for the tips. It also makes watching tennis even more fun 🙏👍🎾
And that's why they're world class ;-) For the normal player a short ball is around the service line, for them a ball is short 4 feet inside the baseline. They're just amazing players
these are very good tips!!!!

Fantastic, will employ
Great!
Thank you, Coach Meike. Many players my age hit the ball very flat or slice, and even though their shots may land short, I feel as though I am always trying to hit the ball up and down, which results in errors, or balls they can get to and counterpunch. I’ve used dropshots, slice approaches up the line, or short slices angled off the court with mixed results. Can you please help? Thank you!
Sounds like you need a neutralizing ball and that can be deep through the middle and then having the patience to wait for a really good opportunity to get at them.
Meike, you said “don’t hit the same ball twice”, but sometimes my coach told me “be patient, be consistent, let them make mistake”, which one I should take ? 😄
Both :-) You can be patient and consistent AND vary the spin. And use angles if you give yourself the right target and do it off the right ball. To my mind, both tips are not mutually exclusive.
Perhaps the odd drop shot too?
Absolutely! But that's going to be another video :-)
Too many players I know just keep hitting harder when pressed. All you need to do is get a couple balls back to them, they'll eventually lose control and hit it long. I hope they don't see this video -- I like winning.
I was going to say feel free to share my channel with your tennis friends - but maybe not :-)
