Ghosting in to the net: TENNIS MASTERCLASS by Patrick Mouratoglou, EPISODE 2

Спорт

In this Tennis Masterclass, I talk about an important tactic that will help you make your game more aggressive, and ultimately, more successful. We call it “ghosting in” to the net.
Do you want to transition from defense to offense in a heartbeat like top pros Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune and Jannik Sinner? Do you want to outsmart your opponent and make them unsure of when your next sneak attack might be coming?
If so, I have a brilliant way to finish off points at the net, while keeping your opponents guessing.
The goal of ghosting in is to take advantage of the fact that your opponent is in a position of weakness. When you’ve hit a strong shot and forced your opponent into a defensive posture, why let him get out of jail with a weak slice or a moonball? Instead, pounce on your opportunity and close down his options by attacking the net.
In this video, I break down each aspect of the tactic. From how to know when to ghost in, to what path to follow as you rush the net, to where to make your split step… I can assure you that you will leave this video better at making the most of your chances. Let’s go!

    @@joseppi4cinqua well if Patrick is doing his job then he's stimulating our tennis IQ. So it's a good thing for people to absorb and formulate ideas on their own within the framework of the lesson. Then go practice and see how it plays out. I learn a lot of tips from him and also Boris Becker. Tennis is fascinating in that there's so many ways to play the game and ways to look for weaknesses to exploit. Last night I was playing doubles the guy on the BH side had a killer topspin BH and he was blasting crazy shots but when we played a low slice he would hit into the net or blast past the baseline. But that's from nobody telling him maybe when you get that slice you have to maybe play a slice back or not go for a glory shot BH. You see Djok and Fed hit slices back an forth in rallies till they get a ball that sits up to hit a good drive and take control. But I'm not gonna coach him on it and probably he won't appreciate it.

    Absolutely great instructions by this wonderful coach. I have seen Federer playing this numerous times, he comes in whenever he catches his opponents off guard with low short slice backhands, he is right there at the net and put away those volleys. The best thing about this approach, the surprise element it has, hard to see it when your opponent does it.

    Interesting content, interesting focus on a particular tennis tactics. Obviously to put in practice this scheme youìve to be an already evolved player because it requires an important techical base. But we can also adapt this scheme to a lower level: for example, there was an amateur player in my tennis club who often did this "ghosting in to the net" doing an high lob on the opponent's backhand(that at his level nobody can do it well, especially in the form of a winner) and he rushed to the net, playing a smash in the other side, obviously because amateur opponent could only do a lob with his precarious backhand. Winning tactic!

    Especially the slice preparation by opponent is a very good cue if you are not extremely fast and nimble. A slice return at recreational/intermediate level gives a huge amount of time for you to close in to the net. It's one of those type of balls where you have a lot of time to say to yourself "crap, I should have run to the net on this ball" and then, when it lands close to the baseline, you sigh and start over the point all over again with opponent back in position ;-)

    after a few successful "ghosts" it's good to sometimes do a "fake ghost" by acting like you're coming in but then backing up when the opponent hits the ball. this will get them to possibly play a short ball in an attempt to pass or to overhit from a defensive positiobn.

    The other benefit that he doesn't mention is that you put doubt into your opponents mind. So even if you lose the point that you ghosted in, maybe you will win the next point because the opponent is thinking about you and not the ball.
