4 Tennis Court Zones

Understanding the Four Tennis Court Zones

One of the biggest mistakes players make in matches is choosing the wrong shot for their court position. Knowing the four court zones sharpens decision-making and boosts strategy.

🔹 Defensive Zone: When deep behind the baseline, focus on depth and recovery. Aim for a high, deep ball to the middle or your opponent’s weaker side.

🔹 Neutral Zone: You have options here. Prioritize placement and depth. Move your opponent and visualize targets to stay in control.

🔹 Aggressive Zone: Time to shift to offense. Use 75% pace with angles or spin to push your opponent on defense and set up your next shot.

🔹 Finish Zone: Close the point.
