What’s Happening on the Courts Right Now

Recent weeks have seen a surge of exciting matches on the ATP and WTA tours. British players have been pushing into later rounds at Wimbledon qualifiers, and the indoor circuit is heating up with fast‑surface showdowns in London and Manchester. If you follow the rankings, you’ll notice a few surprise jumps – young talent from Birmingham breaking into the top 100, and a veteran from Glasgow holding steady in the doubles rankings.

For casual fans, the best way to keep up is to tune into the BBC’s live coverage or follow the official tennis app, which sends real‑time scores straight to your phone. A quick glance each morning lets you see who’s winning, who’s injured, and where the next big match will be held.

Practical Tips to Boost Your Game

Most players think improvement comes from playing more matches, but the truth is a balanced routine wins the day. Start each session with a five‑minute dynamic warm‑up – arm circles, leg swings, and a short jog. Move on to footwork drills; a simple ladder drill can sharpen your split‑step and recovery speed.

When you hit the ball, focus on contact point. Aim to meet the ball slightly in front of your body, not at waist height. This gives you more power and control. If you’re struggling with consistency, try the “shadow swing” – practice your stroke without a ball, watching your technique in a mirror or recording yourself on a phone.

Strength training off the court helps too. Core work – planks, Russian twists, and deadbugs – stabilizes your swing and reduces injury risk. A weekly routine of two 30‑minute sessions is enough for most recreational players.

Lastly, mental preparation matters. Before a match, take three deep breaths, visualize your first serve landing in the sweet spot, and set a simple goal like “keep my footwork light”. Small mental habits often decide tight games.
