The 80/20 rule in tennis means roughly 80% of your points come from 20% of your shots.

Focusing on fundamentals like a reliable first serve and solid groundstrokes pays off more than perfecting drop shots.

• A consistent first serve reduces pressure on your second serve and keeps opponents guessing.
• Steady baseline play builds pressure without taking unnecessary risks.
• Good returners make their opponents work harder for every service game.

Once you embrace the 80/20 mindset, you'll focus on quality over variety.
