Wim's Wisdom:

Forehand

Working on this was a key to Naomi winning the US Open in 2020

Tip #1. Use the left hand to bring the racquet back.

- Keep the racquet close, and imagine you are looking at yourself in a mirror to get into the right position.

Tip #2. Hold the racquet loosely.

- Keep it loose in your hand.

Tip #3. Face the butt of the racquet in the direction you are going to hit the ball.

- Get into this position as soon as the ball bounces over the net.

Tip #4. Accelerate to the contact.

- Move to the contact right in front of you.

Tip #5. Finish with the butt of the racquet in the direction that you hit the ball.

Volley – a future big weapon for Naomi

There are a few technical keys to a good volley.

Tip #1. Hold the grip really firmly.

- The opposite to the forehand where the grip needs to be loose.

Tip #2. Don't accelerate to the ball, accelerate through the backswing to the ball.

- Step in and cut the ball.

Footwork – the key to setup the shot and hit with the right precision

Tip #1. Start in a split step.

- Stay low in the legs

Tip #2. Stay strong in the upper body.

• When the upper body is straight we can rotate better, hit from low to high
