The Coach's Corner

Wayne Marshall, the teaching pro at the Hendersonville Country Club is our guest coach contributor. Wayne exhibits the "never give up" classic Aussie attidtude toward tennis. My tip for the month is, "always win the last point!"

When playing doubles he gives the following advice:
When returning serve put the net person out of your mind and focus on the open area in front of the server. Worrying about the opposing net player will hinder your returning accuracy. Aim for the oustide corner of the service box. "See it, believe it, and hit it".

As we say down under, "Thanks Mate, and see you on the court"!
