Almost Perfect
Note Ivanovic’s good posture. Her head is slightly forward, feet are slightly side on and the movement is not too extreme, with her weight
shifting slightly towards the back foot.

Lessons from LLeyton
Hewitt uses a nice wide stance, which is very side
on. Note that he is just the backhand side to a continental grip.

Casey’s Killer Touch
Casey almost walks across the baseline – and very
smoothly. She’s waiting with a grip that’s almost western.

Serve School

Gael Force

Serving Notice
With her first Sony Ericsson WTA titles already on her record and a ranking inside the world’s top ten, there is no doubting the huge potential of Serbian Ana Ivanovic.

In fact, after the 19-year-old dismantled Martina Hingis in the final of the Canadian Open, some observers predicted it would be a case of when, not if, she wins a Grand Slam title.

Ivanovic’s game is boosted by powerful ground strokes and a big serve. With minor adjustments to that serve under the guidance of Aussie coach David Taylor, her rise up the rankings could become even quicker. - download

Best of the beast
At 196cm tall, Belarusian Max Mirnyi is affectionately called “The Beast” by many of his friends and tour mates – but there is nothing ugly about his game.

Mirnyi demonstrates a dying art with his superb backhand volley, a stroke that has contributed to his stunning success in both singles and doubles.

His 10-year career has so far reaped 32 titles (in both singles and doubles) and more than $US 7 million in prize money. With consistency a key feature to his success, there is little doubt that more big prizes await the hard-working Mirnyi. - download

The Hot Scot’s Hot Shot
Now in the world’s top twenty and with his first career title on the board, there is no doubt that Andy Murray his taken the tennis world by storm.

And things should only get better for the 19-year-old, who boasts wins over big name players like Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Roddick and Ivan Ljubicic.

Simple, smooth and very effective, this backhand approach shows how the Scotsman can scare the world’s best. - download

Serbian Star Power
One of the young guns on the ATP Tour, Novak Djokovic is destined for big success. At just 19 he has already won his first career title and reached a career-high ranking of World No. 23.

Great footwork and movement are his strengths as a player and also the key to his impressive forehand. - download
