Excellent players study the game. "Form begets function." Click through to watch on YouTube, full screen, and adjust the playback settings to 0.25 speed.
The video should start at 1:50:16.
Adriana with a clean first pass. "One bad pass often leads to another." She passes high and to the middle of the court. She is low and her platform is away from her body in good position. Sadie gets to the ball and delivers a "cheddar biscuit" for Sabine.
Watch Sabine's initial position as she backpedals to about 6 feet behind the ten foot line. Her three-step attack footwork is pristine, excellent backswing (arms extended behind her to about 90 degrees), and launch with great armswing and high contact point.
Reminder: you can practice your attack footwork and backswing without a court. You can simulate an attack throwing a tennis ball.
