Taylor's TopCourt Tips, Skills & Drills
Taylor Fritz joins TopCourt to share the story of his journey and development into one of the world’s brightest stars. In the American’s TopCourt class, Fritz shares the keys to his signature serve and backhand, the drills that developed his lethal groundstrokes and the parts of his game he’s working on today.
Fritz demonstrates to fans the technique and drills that have seen him leverage the serve and backhand to take him as high as No. 24 in the FedEx ATP Rankings.
Technique: The backhand has not only proven to be a consistent, reliable shot for Taylor, it’s also a significant weapon that has successfully seen him through tight situations in a match. In detail, Taylor also helps you take control of the point by showing you how to hit both a powerful flat serve and a tricky kick serve. In a demonstrative step-by-step approach, Taylor shows you how you can take control of points and hit a technically sound and powerful backhand and serve like his.
Drills: Taylor teaches three personally chosen unique drills in detail and showcases on-court examples of him practising the drills. While coaching “The Fritz 10” drill, Taylor describes memories of how his father used to incentivise him to complete this drill successfully and how the challenge of achieving 7/10 shots helped build consistency and confidence in his game. The “Live Approach Volley” will teach you how to transition to the net with confidence, while the “Backhand Red Light, Green Light” (one of Taylor’s favorite drills) teaches patience and shot selection.
