Question

Mention any five fundamental skills that a Tennis player must possess.

Answer 1

The five fundamental skills that a Tennis player must possess are:

1. Forehand: In tennis, a forehand is a shot made by swinging the racket across one's body, palm first. Except for the phrase forehand volley, the term refers to a type of groundstroke in which the ball bounces before being struck. For a right-handed player, the forehand stroke begins on the right side of the body, moves across the body as contact is made with the ball and ends on the left side of the body.
2. Backhand: The backhand is a tennis stroke in which the racquet swings around the player's body with the back of the hand ahead of the palm. Except for the phrase "backhand volley," the term refers to a groundstroke (in which the ball bounces before being struck).
3. Chopper grip: The Continental Grip (chopper grip) is achieved by putting the hand so that the base knuckle of the index finger is right on panel 2. It naturally occurs when holding the racket as if it were an axe, hence the second name "Chopper grip".
4. Correct grip: The grip is proper if there is a finger-width gap between your fingertips and palm. A proper tennis grip should feel firm but not tight, like a firm handshake. The fingers should be in an angled position along the handle.
5. Smash: In tennis, a smash is a shot hit above the hitter's head with a serve-like action. It is sometimes called an overhead. A smash is typically hit with a lot of force and is often a shot that ends with a point.
