| Summary: | The study identifies specific principles of geometry that can help players play lawn tennis more effectively. Specific aspects of the game are discussed with the corresponding principle in geometry that can improve a player's game. Proper positioning when returning shots is discussed, together with the advantages of hitting the ball deep. Similarly, the benefits of the crosscourt shot versus the down the line shot are discussed. The importance of minimizing the ball's angle of inclination is demonstrated. The serve is studied, in particular, deliberating on ideal positioning, good serves, and areas of good serves. |
