Footwork & Form for open stance groundstrokes.

ATP training coach Brian Dabul has produced this easy to follow footwork for the forehand. This player is basically covering the baseline with two steps. He’s being coached a 1-2 timing which is a great way to cover lots of court with the least amount of steps. If you are a smaller player you will need to take more. A wide athletic base with your knees bent and feet beyond your shoulders is required. This is a counter attack forehand. youtube.com/shorts/u0YvuPbd8J4?si=Rz-G1WOEgdM5NvUh
