Footwork drills are a very vital part of the fitness training for all Tennis players and there are many ways in which your improved footwork can improve your tennis game. The top 5 benefits of better footwork in tennis according to me are:
1) It Maximizes your shot options:
Better footwork increases your shot options. When you can reach out to balls early and with good position, you have increased options to where you can hit your shots.
2) It Minimizes your unforced errors:
When you can reach out to balls easily and with better position, your unforced errors are less. You don't miss time or misplace your shots and this in turn reduces your unforced errors which are the main cause of club players losing their games.
Better footwork puts in you in ideal positions to hit your shots with best of your power. To hit balls with maximum power requires you to be in the best of the position to hit that shot and that is not possible without good footwork.
4) It Improves your ball control and accuracy:
Improved shot positions which you can achieve with better footwork gives you more control of the ball. And with improved control on ball you can improve your shot execution and winning shots.
5) It Prevents injury:
Once your footwork is improved, you can properly execute your shots with minimum effort and maximum control and placement, and in turn this prevents you from hitting shots from odd positions and helps to prevent injury. So improving your footwork in turn prevents injury and that in turn helps you to improve your footwork.
