How to change the power of a shot in Matchpoint – Tennis Championships

Power in tennis is important, but it must be balanced. Tennis players must use power to not just will the power over the net and to the other side of the court but also attempt to overpower the opposition by smacking the ball just hard enough so that the other player can’t catch up to it. But hit the shot too hard, and you may lose out on some points. Much like in real tennis, Matchpoint – Tennis Championships players need to either ease up on the power or increase it to get an advantage. Here’s what you need to know about changing the power of shots.
