Todd Martin got very little practice, but what he got, he made good use of it.
The important thing is to believe in yourself, and make use of absolutely anything that could help your tennis.
Physical Education, even a few extra moments. Sometimes with a friend, I play handtennis, just hitting the ball with your hands. Good for footwork.
I take whatever I can get, and make the best of it, but its very difficult in my family to get emotional support. Most of the encouragement I get is from strangers, or people I barely know.
LeeD, I'm curious to how Martial Arts are good for anticipation, footwork and eyesight.
I've been doing karate for more than 5 years, and have nearly attainted brown belt, but have taken a brief hiatus for a few months. My senseis were very particular about technique, and in sparring, you literally had to bounce.. How does it help your anticipation though?
Timing when to block?
