The 16 second cure in tennis

The court ruled that in tennis the breaks between one point and the other is part of the performance.

Why it is not taught to handle the ase time as it’s done for the game?

In English this time is called “the 16 second cure”

It consists of four phases:

  • Physical response positive – 4.3 seconds end point – go baseline, decisive steps, neutral facial expression and gesture of incitement
  • Relaxation – 06.05 seconds – back to camp, relax, look at racquet strings
  • Preparation – 04.05 seconds – back bottom line, mental rehearsal or service response
  • Ritual – 4/5 seconds ritual of preparation, ready to serve or respond

When do: always!

Easy!!!
