Wanting to win a tournament increases the stress on all athletes. Ability of utilizing different strategies in sports, specially under match-situation’s pressure, is important. Changing the rhythm of game (e.g. moving from baseline to service line) can be one of these strategies. Approaching to the net could be very useful among junior tennis players, although not many of junior tennis players do not use this tactic when they have to do it. This article mentions some reasons and implications for approaching to the net during a match play.
