Hi John,
I have found Tennis useful. I have also found things like Qi Gong or Tai Chi useful.
I didn't do any form of martial arts when I was playing however I have done some later and I think it would be useful for balance. I also did Pilates which I think would be useful.
Certainly weight training in the correct form will help as well.

Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
