In the game of tennis, there are a number of shots which players use during the course of a game. Each shot is made with the use of a racquet to strike the ball and ensure that it gets hits over the net. These tennis shots are then given names according to when they were struck by the player in the case of a serve, or the manner in which the player struck the ball. Any person interested in learning how to play tennis has to make sure that he will learn the basic shots as these will be the foundation of his game once his skills improve through constant practice.
