So here is a hidden way to force errors from your opponent that most players don't know about or aren't using nearly enough. Let's say your opponent hits a serve, you hit a good return, and then your opponent hits like a mediocre shot that you can attack with your forehand. So most players in this instance would immediately attack the backhand. And that's not necessarily a bad thing to do, but in your next batch, here's what you should try instead. So instead of going the backhand with this next shot, so you've hit a return, your second shot of the rally, this forehand attack the forehand instead. So this is going to be the fourth shot of the rally. There was the serve, that's what number one, the returns number two, number three was this weak shot, and then number four is that shot there. So if you look at tennis analytics, the best time to force forehand errors from your opponent is within the first four shots of the rally. So mix in attacking the forehand early, do it with your stronger shot, which I'm assuming is the forehand. And the benefit here is if you don't draw an error, but you surprise your opponent and they hit like another mediocre ball through the middle of the court. Now you can rip this next ball, this would be the sixth shot of the rally at their backhand. And because you've pulled them into their forehand corner, you're now forcing them to hit a running backhand. Ton of errors.
