How to improve reaction skills in offensive, fast-paced tennis

Tennis is completely different than it was even ten years ago. New technologies, better athletes and access to broad knowledge have greatly transformed the game. It is quite simple to observe that tennis is a quick sport based on powerful shots, swift decisions and fast movement.

Nowadays, the majority of players, and that includes the best players in the world, such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Petra Kvitova, possess offensive style of play, which is based on short and dynamic rallies.
