In singles, do you ever unintentionally hit a great groundie to a corner, see your opponent is hopelessly stretched out trying to get to it, and then horrors of all horrors, you back up behind the baseline…?

And then as your opponent puts up a weak semi lob, they’re scrambling back to the middle of the court as you have to now wait for their shot, your mind is just going ballistic telling you what a golden opportunity you just let slip by?
Get in line, you’re not the Lone Ranger, I see that happen all of the time.
When I’m back on the baseline in singles, I’m always thinking volley…
My mindset is – what shot can I play that will give me an opportunity to move forward and play an approach volley?
Some times I play a shot with the intention of getting that opportunity, but lots of times I play a groundstroke that ends up as an unintentional opportunity.
Here’s what I mean…
Don’t let these unintended opportunities slip by. I’m sure that if I charted one of your singles matches that I’d see lots of those juicy chances that you don’t recognize.
What do you think? – Are you missing out on some unintended opportunities?
Let me/us know your answer below in the Comments area – thanks.
