USTA's Winning Patterns of Play

Aimed at sharpening intermediate tennis players' serves, this tape, presented by the United States Tennis Association, uses clips of the pros in action to examine net play, back court and defensive patterns. Particular attention is paid to developing strategies in mid-play; choosing patterns that emphasize strengths and anticipating opponents moves are the keys to a tactical advantage. Obviously, this would be confusing to beginning players simply concerned with getting the ball over the net, but there's lots of good information here that could be of use to school tennis teams and intermediate-level players.
