Why Your Tennis Forehand Breaks Down Under Pressure (And How to Fix It)

If you want a consistent, reliable tennis forehand that holds up under pressure — whether you’re playing league tennis, tournaments, or practice matches — this video breaks down the exact fundamentals every great forehand is built on. Many players get stuck copying pro forehand styles (Alcaraz, Sinner, Swiatek, etc.) and end up losing consistency. In this lesson, you’ll learn the difference between style vs fundamentals, so you can build a forehand that works for your grip, body type, and athletic abilities. This video explains why elite forehands look different but perform the same, and how you can apply the same principles to improve control, topspin, power, and consistency at any level.
