When playing singles, most players feel more comfortable staying at the baseline, but there are times when you have to come up to the net and try to close out the point. You work so hard to get to the net and now you want to make sure you position yourself well for the volleys. The rule of thumb is to follow the ball. This means, if your approach shot or first volley is hit towards your opponent’s ad side you want to move to your right a little bit to follow where the ball is going. If you hit the next volley towards the deuce side of your opponent, then you must move to your left side more to follow that ball. It maybe only 2 or 3 small steps, but when you follow the ball, you close down the angle that your opponent has, thus placing yourself in a good position to anticipate the passing shot.
