Players have to be ready to quickly react to their opponent’s shots numerous times. They have around one second to set up their body and racquet and execute a controlled shot. Tennis coach Marcin Bieniek, founder of Enjoy Tennis Blog, explains why half volley from the baseline is one of the shots that players should practice to be able to deal with time pressure.
