For all coaches who believe in the First 4 Myth and who don’t train long rallies anymore:
Uncle Toni says:
“(In practice) I like to do games without service in order to give more continuity to the game. Sometimes when we do it with service, there are too many interruptions…
I know that in today’s tennis 70 percent or so of points are played with less than 4 shots.
Training the opposite would be a contradiction, but I think that in order to get a good command (control), it’s fundamental to get used to passing (rallying) the ball many times more than we will in the future.”
—Toni Nadal
