Today we share insights on improving shot selection, and strategizing returns based on opponents' weaknesses. We discuss the nuanced decisions players must make regarding serve returns, engaging in dinks, handling lobs, and when to instigate or speed up the game. The episode also covers the significance of playing with appropriate etiquette, especially regarding handling balls that enter other courts.
