Tennis After 40, Point by Point

Footwork, Reliable Strokes, Singles and Doubles Tactics, Measurable Drills, and Playing for Years

You remember the sound of a cleanly struck tennis ball. Maybe you also remember your last second serve disappearing into the net. Whether you are returning after a long break or picking up a racket for the first time, a better game begins with repeatable decisions.

Tennis After 40, Point by Point is a practical guide to tennis for adults over 40. It helps you build dependable strokes, find the right on-court starting point, and practise with a purpose instead of simply collecting more missed forehands.

Inside, you will learn how to: - Use tennis footwork drills to prepare earlier, reach balls in balance, and recover after contact. - Improve tennis serve consistency with toss checkpoints, placement targets, and measured serving sessions. - Build forehands, backhands, returns, slices, lobs, and net play around a repeatable contact point. - Apply tennis doubles strategy through clearer court coverage, partner calls, poaching, and legal formations. - Choose sensible tennis singles tactics that create margin without forcing spectacular winners on every point. - Follow a practical tennis practice plan with measurable drills, scorecards, and seasonal progress checks.

The book serves returning players and those searching for beginner tennis for adults, without assuming that everyone over forty has the same mobility, experience, or goals. One-handed backhands, two-handed backhands, singles, and doubles all get a fair hearing.

Across 15 chapters and four appendices, you will find 58 named drills, practical troubleshooting checklists, illustrative player scenarios, a match scorecard, a drill progression matrix, and a tennis glossary. Practice targets help you see progress, then raise the bar when you are ready.

You do not need the serve of a touring professional to enjoy the next point. You need a game you can trust when the score gets awkward and a reason to come back next week.

For adult beginners, returning players, and recreational competitors who want to play smarter and keep playing longer.
