The Pareto principle applied to tennis shows that focusing on a few core skills produces the biggest improvements.

• Serve consistency: a dependable serve puts pressure on your opponent from the first shot.
• Return reliability: getting the ball back in play on returns keeps you in every point.
• Smart footwork: moving early to the right spot makes every shot easier to execute.
• Shot selection: knowing when to attack and when to stay patient separates improving players from beginners.

Working with a tutor lets you focus on the fundamentals that matter most for your level.
