Tennis - Ground Strokes

Ground strokes are shots hit from baseline to baseline from either the forehand or backhand side.

The open stance is often best used when a player has little or no time to prepare for an oncoming ball

This stance is not much different to the open stance. Again it is mostly used when players lack time to prepare for the next shot. 

 

This is the basic stance, which can be used for both forehand and backhand shots, and is also the starting point for all the other stances. 

The closed stance can be used on either forehand or backhand shots, but is only recommended when a player is chasing down a ball on the run, or is forced wide.

Adding this stance to the footwork of the backhand allows it to become an attacking shot for most players.
