| longest rally in tennis for a point: Winning Tennis with the Tactical Point Control System John Ruder, 2019-01-18 Tennis is not a game for the faint of heart. It is one of the few sports where a player must not only keep score but also act as both umpire and referee. A tennis match has no time clock, no halftime, no timeouts, no substitutions, and can last anywhere from thirty minutes to four hours. During that time, players may run over five miles and hit well over a thousand shots. In the end, both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat rest solely upon the players’ shoulders. So what can a player do today to win more games than not? John Ruder relies on thirty-five years of coaching and teaching tennis to share a Tactical Point Control System that breaks the tennis point into four distinct phases, teaches competitors how to play in each phase, provides a checkpoint system that allows players to discover why they are winning or losing each point, and shares guidance on how to develop a game plan that enables players to better compete against opponents of all levels. Winning Tennis with the Tactical Point Control System shares a simple and effective game plan that allows tennis players to excel in the game and score points against their toughest opponents. |

| longest rally in tennis for a point: Whening Tennis Larry Huebner, 2004 Whening Tennis: In Tennis, as in Life, Timing is Everything is an instructional book. It is unique in that it does not focus on the how to of playing the game as much as the when to for more tennis success. The author's primary focus on when decisions is an entirely new instructional approach for many aspects of the game. When a player learns to combine good when decisions with real effort to play the game to the best of their ability, regardless of the final score, winning has been achieved. Thus, Whening Tennis becomes winning tennis, the essence of the book. The subtitle, In Tennis, as in Life, Timing is Everything, emphasises the importance of when decisions and their crossover from tennis into life's experiences. What a fantastic job Larry Huebner has done with his great publication, WHENING TENNIS! First, one would be hard pressed to find anyone more qualified to write about tennis than Larry - no one is more respected in the tennis world by people who know the game. Second, how refreshing it is to have something other than just a How-to book to help one understand and enjoy tennis more! Larry has done a fantastic job in selecting, simplifying and organizing his topics. Everything Larry writes about is relevant to today's game. I enthusiastically recommend this book for players of all abilities, as well as parents. ENJOY... -Dick Gould, Coach of 17 NCAA Men's Championships Director of Tennis, Stanford University For more information try the website at www.w-tennis.com. or see the link to the student workbook Whening Tennis Student Workbook |
| longest rally in tennis for a point: The Art of Tennis Dominc J. Stevenson, 2022-05-01 Opening with Wimbledon 2019, The Art of Tennis covers the excitement of the sport up to the profound silence of the Covid-19 pandemic—when no tennis was played for a year—through Wimbledon 2021. As play began to resume, there were many questions surrounding its return, and the author examines these and how the sport of tennis fights to prevail as the virus continues to redefine modern life. The book follows the latest comebacks from Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Andy Murray and looks at how Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev reached their first major finals. In the women's game, Barbora Krejčíková, Bianca Andreescu, and Sofia Kenin make big stage breakthroughs, and Naomi Osaka continues to rule on hard courts. In late 2020, the calendar looked different. The tours adapted as best they could, and some remarkable tennis took place in empty arenas. 2021 saw tournaments finding a way to coincide with the virus that is reshaping daily life. With thoughtful observations, author Dominic Stevenson comments on the many aspects of professional tennis, both on and off the courts, providing his own unique perspective on this beautiful sport. |

| longest rally in tennis for a point: TENNIS BEYOND MECHANICS Bruno Simon, 2024-06-10 Tennis Beyond Mechanics explores the five levels of mind states. At any given moment, a player’s mind state is at a given level. The higher the level, the better they will perform. Most of us mentally operate at level 1 or 2 whether on the tennis court or in daily life. Few operate at level 3, and even fewer at level 4. We’ve all heard of players who have experienced “the zone,” a state where one is playing flawlessly, almost effortlessly. It has been described by those who have experienced it as a meditative state of clarity. That is the level 5 state of mind, the highest level. Tennis Beyond Mechanics is about understanding those mental levels. It is about being aware of the level we find ourselves in and learning to elevate to higher levels for better performance. Thought provoking, captivating and inspiring, this book also follows the fascinating journey of a tennis prodigy who happens to be one of those rare individuals who intuitively functions at level 4. |

| longest rally in tennis for a point: Content-Based Video Retrieval Milan Petkovic, Willem Jonker, 2013-06-29 The area of content-based video retrieval is a very hot area both for research and for commercial applications. In order to design effective video databases for applications such as digital libraries, video production, and a variety of Internet applications, there is a great need to develop effective techniques for content-based video retrieval. One of the main issues in this area of research is how to bridge the semantic gap between low-Ievel features extracted from a video (such as color, texture, shape, motion, and others) and semantics that describe video concept on a higher level. In this book, Dr. Milan Petkovi6 and Prof. Dr. Willem Jonker have addressed this issue by developing and describing several innovative techniques to bridge the semantic gap. The main contribution of their research, which is the core of the book, is the development of three techniques for bridging the semantic gap: (1) a technique that uses the spatio-temporal extension of the Cobra framework, (2) a technique based on hidden Markov models, and (3) a technique based on Bayesian belief networks. To evaluate performance of these techniques, the authors have conducted a number of experiments using real video data. The book also discusses domains solutions versus general solution of the problem. Petkovi6 and Jonker proposed a solution that allows a system to be applied in multiple domains with minimal adjustments. They also designed and described a prototype video database management system, which is based on techniques they proposed in the book. |
