- [How to Hit a Tennis Neutral Stance Forehand](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/neutral-stance-forehand-tennis/): The neutral stance forehand is the foundation of consistent, powerful ball-striking — particularly when attacking short balls or moving forward into the court. While the modern game emphasizes open stances for lateral movement, the neutral stance delivers superior weight transfer and linear momentum that no other forehand stance can match. This guide covers every phase: grip, preparation, setup, swing and follow through — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Backhand Volley: Ultimate Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-backhand-volley-guide/): The tennis backhand volley is one of the most technically demanding shots in tennis — and one of the most rewarding when done well. The three keys that separate players who are comfortable at net from those who avoid it: non-dominant hand use, balance through contact and handling balls hit directly at the body. This guide breaks down the backhand volley from setup to contact — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Ultimate Tennis Volley Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/ultimate-tennis-volley-guide/): The tennis volley is the shot that wins points at net — and most recreational players avoid it because they were never taught the fundamentals correctly. Grip, stance, split step timing and weight transfer are the four pillars of a reliable volley at any level. This guide breaks down every phase of the tennis volley from setup to follow through — from the coaching staff at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Ultimate Tennis Footwork Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/ultimate-tennis-footwork-guide/): Tennis footwork is the foundation of every stroke — without it, even the best technique breaks down. The split step, first step reaction, adjustment steps and recovery patterns are the movement skills that separate players who consistently set up well from those who are always late to the ball. This guide breaks down every phase of tennis footwork from the ready position to court recovery — from the coaching staff at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Ultimate Tennis Grip System Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/ultimate-tennis-grip-system-guide/): The tennis grip is the only point of contact between you and the racquet — and most players never give it a second thought. Choosing the wrong grip limits your topspin, flattens your shots at the wrong moments, and makes volleys harder than they need to be. This complete guide walks you through every grip using a simple bevel numbering system — so you can find the right grip for every shot and understand exactly why it works. From the coaching staff at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Shot Selection Drills for Singles](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/strategy/tennis-shot-selection-drills/): This tennis lesson with Erica covers tennis shot selection drills for singles that can make the difference between winning or losing a close match. Often times close matches are determined by hitting the right shots at the right time. This can often be confusing with all the decisions you have to make on the court.
- [Overcome Tennis Mistakes – Mental Toughness Training](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/psychology/overcome-tennis-mistakes/): Every tennis player misses — from total beginners to tour professionals. The difference between players who improve and players who stagnate is not how few mistakes they make, but how they respond to the ones they inevitably do. In this guide, Randy Reynolds — certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center — shares a straightforward framework for developing the mental toughness to accept mistakes, learn from them and stay focused on improving. To work on both your mental game and technique with Randy, book a lesson at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Singles Strategy and Statistics](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/strategy/tennis-singles-strategy-statistics/): When talking tennis with my peers and fellow tennis coaches it became evident that we all had our own preferences on tennis singles strategy. None of us had the data to suggest which approach would be ideal. So I researched and found many valuable resources — one of which was from Craig O'Shannessy, formerly on the strategy team for Novak Djokovic, known for sharing tennis statistics and patterns that apply to all levels of play.
- [Tennis Fitness Circuit Workouts and Exercises to Improve Conditioning](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/tennis-fitness-circuit-workouts/): Tennis fitness circuit workouts go beyond general gym work — they require explosive movement, multi-directional agility and the conditioning to maintain intensity through a full match. This guide shares four complete circuit workouts designed specifically for tennis players at all levels — each free, video-guided and built around the movement patterns that matter most on court. To combine fitness training with on-court coaching, explore our programs at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Stretches After Match Play Are Essential](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/tennis-stretches-after-match-play/): How many players have you seen do a set routine of tennis stretches after match play? Probably less than five. Stretching can help with recovery, range of motion and injury prevention — and with players like Novak Djokovic showing off extraordinary body control and shot making in compromised positions, post-match stretching should be on every player's to-do list.
- [6 Core Exercises for Tennis Every Player Should Do](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/6-core-exercises-for-tennis/): A strong core is the foundation of every tennis stroke. Every serve, forehand, backhand and volley relies on rotational power generated from the core — and if that foundation is weak, the rest of your game suffers and your injury risk increases. This guide covers the 6 core exercises for tennis Randy Reynolds recommends to every one of his students, complete with sets, reps and progressions. To combine fitness and on-court coaching with Randy, explore our training programs at Reno Tennis Center.
- [10 Minute Tennis Warm Up Routine](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/tennis-warm-up-routine/): A structured tennis warm up routine is the difference between starting a match sharp and spending the first set finding your feet. A proper warm up raises your heart rate, activates your key muscle groups, mobilizes your joints and primes your nervous system for tennis-specific movements — all in under 10 minutes. This guide covers the exact routine Randy Reynolds uses with his students before every session at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Doubles Strategy and Positioning](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/strategy/tennis-doubles-strategy-positioning/): Playing tennis with different doubles partners can be frustrating because not everyone knows tennis doubles strategy. Rather than relying solely on years of experience, I researched the statistics that determine patterns of winning doubles — and found a USPTA talk by Craig O'Shannessy, formerly on the strategy team for Novak Djokovic, known for using data to guide doubles strategy and positioning.
- [Warm Up Tennis Drills for Pre-Match Play](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/5-tennis-drills-pre-match-warm-up/): A structured on-court warm up is just as important as the physical warm up you do before stepping onto the court. Without proper drill-based preparation, your timing, feel and confidence will be off for the first set — exactly when matches are won and lost. This guide covers the 5 warm up tennis drills Randy Reynolds and Chris Ferguson-McIntyre — both former Division 1 college tennis players and certified instructors at Tennis Nation — use before every match. To combine these drills with coached match preparation, explore our tennis programs at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Measuring Grip Size – Selecting a Tennis Racquet Grip](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/measuring-tennis-grip-size/): Choosing the wrong tennis grip size is one of the most overlooked causes of discomfort and tennis elbow in recreational players. A grip that is too small or too large forces your hand to work harder on every swing — and that adds up over thousands of shots. This guide covers two simple methods to find your ideal grip size before buying your next racquet — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Novak Djokovic Diet](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/training/novak-djokovic-gluten-free-diet/): Who would have thought changing the Novak Djokovic diet would make all the difference?
- [Taking the Ball Early on the Rise: Complete Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/taking-the-ball-early-tennis/): Taking the ball early on the rise is one of the highest-leverage skills in tennis — and one of the least practiced at the recreational level. Players who master this skill take time away from their opponents, cut off angles and dictate play from inside the baseline. This guide covers the mindset, benefits, footwork fundamentals and the specific drill Randy Reynolds uses with his students at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Return of Serve: Complete Technique Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-return-of-serve/): The tennis return of serve is the second most important shot in the game — and the most neglected in practice. You hit it in half of every game you play, yet most players spend very little time developing it deliberately. This guide covers positioning, split step timing, preparation, setup and swing mechanics — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Overhead Smash & Scissor-Kick Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-overhead-smash-scissor-kick/): The tennis overhead smash is the most explosive shot in the game — and one of the most demoralizing for your opponent when executed well. At the net, it is your primary weapon against lobs. This guide covers both the standard overhead smash and the advanced scissor-kick overhead — grip, preparation, footwork and execution — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Serve Technique & Fundamentals Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-serve-technique-fundamentals/): The tennis serve technique is the most important stroke in the game — and the only shot where you have complete control. No opponent, no reaction required. Yet it remains the most technically complex stroke to master. This guide covers every fundamental: grip, ball toss, service motion and the tube sock drill — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [How to Hit an Effective Tennis Approach Shot](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-approach-shot/): The tennis approach shot is the bridge between baseline play and net dominance. Executed correctly, it puts your opponent under immediate pressure and shortens the point in your favor. This guide covers footwork, spacing, stroke mechanics and tactical options — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Backhand Slice: 5-Step Complete Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-backhand-slice/): The tennis backhand slice is one of the most versatile and underutilized shots in the game. When executed correctly, it skids low through the court, disrupts your opponent's rhythm and buys critical recovery time. This guide breaks down the backhand slice in 5 clear steps — from the pivot and shoulder turn to the follow through — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Two-Handed Backhand Groundstroke: Complete Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/two-handed-backhand-groundstroke/): The two-handed backhand groundstroke is one of the most reliable and powerful shots in modern tennis. Used by the majority of professional players today, it provides stability, topspin and control — especially on high balls. This guide covers every phase: unit turn, backswing, weight transfer, contact point and follow through — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [Tennis Backhand Groundstroke Ultimate Guide](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/tennis-backhand-groundstroke-ultimate-guide/): The tennis backhand groundstroke is one of the most versatile shots in tennis — and one of the most misunderstood. Whether you hit with one hand, two hands or a slice, the foundation is the same: proper grip, a well-timed split step and a loaded setup that allows your hips and shoulders to drive through the ball. This guide breaks down the backhand groundstroke from grip selection to neutral stance setup — from the coaching staff at Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
- [How to Hit an Open Stance Forehand in Tennis](https://www.tennisnation.com/free-lessons/technique/open-stance-forehand-tennis/): The open stance forehand is the dominant forehand stance on the professional tour. It generates explosive topspin and allows rapid court recovery after wide balls. This guide covers every phase: grip selection, preparation, setup, swing mechanics and follow through — written by Randy Reynolds, certified tennis instructor and director of Tennis Nation at Reno Tennis Center.
