| One of the main strategies when playing clay court tennis is to try to expose the full length and angles of the court.
For this drill, the coach feeds three balls deep to forehand.
For all three, the player aims for a high net clearance and the target deep cross-court.
Then the coach feeds ball four shorter to simulate a weak reply from opponent.
The player should then play a straight drop shot or a short cross-court angle, to practice utilizing the opponent’s weak reply.
This drill can also be done on the backhand side.
