After Ruud’s win in Madrid, who are the new best men’s tennis players seeking their first "big" title?

Do you lurch forward on your volleys and finish them off-balance? I call this the “Cadillac volley.” When you quickly stop your feet, the rest of your body continues forward, just like in a car when you slam on the brakes. To prevent this, practice moving to the ball in small steps. Many people stop moving too soon and lunge forward or sideways in a last-second attempt to put the racquet on the ball. Don’t be afraid to take an extra-small step or two to adjust your feet until you’re balanced and ready to step forward naturally and punch the volley.
