So just wondering how in game do you use it as an advantage because i'm taller then most of my friend but certain beat me 6-4/6-3/6-2 and sometime 6-1/6-02
So just wondering ^^
Let me know what tips you have

And in the other hand if the guy is taller than me what should i do?

use height to serve hard. Other than that, taller players can cover alot of the net so you might wanna try volleying

I though for the serve but i'm not that much taller then him (One inch more i think might be three idk has i know its 2 xD)
But i don't think my service his good enough i will need to work on that point
As for volleying i'm going for and more to the net but i'm still uncomfortable on WHEN i need to go to the net

if your opponent leaves a ball short, approach and hit a precision shot to either of the corners (must be deep though or you will most likely get passed). if you hit it well enough and cover the angles at the net you shouldnt have a problem.

serve and volley


short points and you can win them easily

if you play against a very tall person, try to use low slices, it's more difficult for them to effectively return those balls

being that tall for the most part is a disadvantage against smaller agile players, your serve has to become ur weapon, getting broken as a tall player usually means lights out if u lack a ground game. the best way to play when ur tall is to be aggresive, work on taking the ball on the rise (del potro, soderling for example) becuase if u stand behind the baseline and try rally it will be difficult since ur height wll most likely mean ur not the best at covering the court. serve and volley is a dead technique atm and a very hard 1 to master, it shouldent be used as ur main game unless ur serve is good enough to hit exactly where it needs to be every time (position is more important then power for SnV) and u need to be agile enough to make it to the net to put away the points.

I'm not a tall person
But i'm taller then my friend
as for running side to side i'm good at having the ball where i want it

Thx for all types
