Tennis player types

Posted by Unknown on Sunday, November 4, 2012


Article I took from writing Ron White, a USPTA tennis coach or his Pelti America. This paper is none other than to evaluate yourself fall into the type of player as you are.

In the narrative of White, at least in the tennis world there are 2 types of players. Let's say in this case the Type A and Type B. Is the Type A and Type B is:

Type A
A general type of player with good technique. Players love to play with this kind of style or beauty. In the morning he will be playing with pretty, cover the entire field and closed the game with his best. At least one player has a deadly type of stroke.

But Type A player has a weakness in the mental. Sometimes when you meet an opponent who does not fit the game or surrounding conditions, such as the type of the field or the weather is not suitable, then the game becomes chaotic. In conclusion, if the player is playing outside his comfort zone then the game automatically becomes chaotic and it was evident from his body language or the emotions.
In tennis pro, there are some names that could be classified as belonging to the class A players, like Marat Safin, Goran Ivanisevic or Venus Williams.

Type B
Type B is the type of player who is more "intelligent" than type A. He does not have a perfect technique, do not have a deadly weapon, but can read and adapt well in a game. Type B usually look for weaknesses or errors opponent in tennis. He's like a wall that is very hard to penetrate so that every ball that hit can always be restored properly. This type of player I was in college when the time is often dubbed as CCKL (Search-Search Mistakes Against). Consistency, patience and tactics are capital in defeating his opponents.
This type of example in tennis pro Michael Chang, Lleyton Hewitt, or Martina Hingis.

Well, now the tennis world has been greatly advanced in technology in terms of equipment and training of both skill and mental game. Previously Andre Agassi as a young man can be said to be the type of player A. Agassi blows arguably the hardest of the day. It's just that he has a mental deficient and inconsistent. But once coached by Brad Gilbert, who incidentally is a former pro player of type B, then there was assimilation in terms of technique and mentality that he was at the time coached by Gilbert can reach several Grand Slam titles. Also players like Sampras, Davenport, Graff or even Federer came from a Type A player whose technique and then when the power has been mastered, start honing mental and tactics such as the type of player B. They then become hybrid player types A and B that can dominate world tennis pro for a long time aka last.

I think it is in the case of tennis training, players will be good when it originally evolved from the players of type A. Finding coaches who have the ability to hone the skill, technique and power is crucial in the early development of the players. As time goes by and the psychological development of the players who have had hours of flying in tournaments or tennis matches, it can switch to a coach who has a vast knowledge in terms of tactics and mentality can strengthen. Usually this stage according to White, can be applied to players on the University level or at the level of the challenger tournament.
