The article offers tips on dealing with windy conditions in the tennis court. According to the author, when the wind is at a player’s back, he or she should counter its strength by hitting a topspin shot. He reminds players that when the wind is pushing against their faces, this will likely result in the opponent’s shot coming at them at a deeper and quicker space. For cross-court winds, he recommends aiming for the middle of the court when serving or hitting a return.
