Find Your Tennis Coach Near You in Montecito

In tennis, the 80/20 principle suggests that a small number of fundamentals drive most of your match outcomes.

• Serve consistency: landing your first serve regularly sets the tone and keeps you in control.
• Return reliability: a steady return neutralizes your opponent's serve and opens up rallies.
• Court positioning: smart court positioning turns defense into offense.
• Point construction: choosing the right shot at the right time wins more points than raw power.
