Why this drill
A movement circuit stitched into a wall rally: hit, run the loop, arrive for the next ball. Conditioning with a racquet in hand — fitness that can't be told apart from tennis.
Setup
Five meters from the wall, a cone three meters behind your hitting spot. High, soft rally pace — loft each ball so you have travel time.
The drill
Hit a high, deep ball above the line, sprint back around the cone, and return in time to play the rebound after its bounce. Every completed hit-loop-hit is one rep. Sets of six reps, four sets, resting between. Misses end the set — arriving late is the drill's whole verdict.
One thought to take on court
Loft with intention — the height of your ball is the time budget for your legs. Spend it deliberately.
