Know when to charge the net
Moving to the net to volley is a great way to take control of a point. But if you rush the net from a bad position, you’re setting yourself up for failure. The best time to approach the net is when the computer hits a ball that bounces short and you are able to return a deep shot. If your opponent is stuck behind the baseline, they’ll struggle to hit an effective passing shot, and you’ll be able to angle the ball off the court for an easy winner. Don’t charge the net from too far away or you’ll be stuck hitting an awkward half-volley that your opponent can put away with ease.
