The reason the games run more smoothly is because many students finally understood the strategy of the game. The strategy is an important factor in tennis because it tells you how to put the ball away. My doubles game was effected more than my singles game. We were taught to rush to the net during a doubles match and volley the ball away. This aggressive method puts pressure on the opponent to make unforced errors or allows you the opportunity to put away the ball with great ease. In the singles game, the

class taught us to hit the ball deep. This is done so it is hard for an opponent to put away the ball. Also, I learned the "Serve and Volley" method. I wait till a serve is fast and then rush to the net and volley the ball to the corner. My opponent would be all the way back near the service line so he/she would be unable to return it.

Another component to win games is the consistency of the strokes and to know which strokes can help you the most. We learned the forehand the first day of school and became my most valuable weapon. The forehand is the stroke I use to put away the ball or to hit the ball nice and deep where it is difficult for my opponent to return the ball. Before this class I use to run around my backhand.

I am able to save some time and get ready to put away the next ball. My volley has improved significantly because I am able to use more angles when I hit the ball. This lets me win easy points during the game with little or no effort. Like me, my opponents have improved their game, so when I come to the net, they eas
