In this episode, I had the opportunity to work with Yanru Li, a very talented 10-year-old junior from China.
Today, we focused on how best to approach the game depending on which is your dominant eye. With Li’s right eye being dominant, we look at the open stance so the right eye faces the net, practising using the flick of the wrist to generate power (rather than the body), and then also applying this to the serve.
Watch this video for tips on how to make best use of a dominant right eye on the tennis court, and how to use the movement of the wrist to generate power on the forehand and the serve.
