Alex de Minaur's Favorite Footwork Drills
Top ATP pro and Asics sponsored player Alex de Minaur runs the Tennis Warehouse playtesters through a couple of his favorite footwork drills. His first drill focuses on hitting backhands and getting your feet into the correct position for each shot. It allows you to practice a pattern that you can utilize during match play. The second drill focuses on isolating one foot in a quick feet drill. It is the perfect way to get your feet warmed up before playing.
