A solo practice routine matters less for how many balls you hit than for whether each segment has a clear purpose you can actually measure.
Pre- and post-match conditioning isn't about pushing your body harder, it's about reading its current state.
A shaky forehand is usually fixed by checking your ready stance, contact point, and recovery โ not by rebuilding the whole swing.
A steady backhand comes less from a bigger swing and more from elbow position, a short setup, and a fast link to the next shot.
Footwork isn't about raw speed โ it's the habit of setting up hitting distance before the ball arrives.
