Centre Court
Rally until your thumb aches
Rally until your thumb aches.
Angle and pace on every return, with a serve meter that punishes greed.
About Centre Court
Angle and pace both live on the same return, so the safe shot and the winner come from very different inputs. The serve meter punishes greed — the second serve is where matches are lost.
How to play Centre Court
Rally against the returner and force the error.
