Four (4) Stances

Currently there is much debate in professional tennis circles over common ground stroke stances, of which there are 4 variations. Open, closed, semi-open and neutral stance. The most common discrepancy between teaching methods is the open vs closed debate. In the modern game, you don’t need just open or closed, you need to use all 4 stances according to your position on the court and the location of the ball. In this article I will outline each stance with an explanation of when to use it and an image that will serve as an example so you understand the positioning of the feet.
