Hi
Holding the diagonal is a classic exercise in tennis and it is a situation that we often encounter.
The exercise is very simple. With a partner We play diagonally with the forehand and we must hold the rally as long as possible, seeking length as much as possible.

In a match, this is a game situation that I often encounter. My opponent holds his baseline and I also engage in an exchange diagonally, trying to push the other back and trying to obtain a ball favorable to an attack or variation of strategic play. Maintaining this diagonal is important.
In a doubles match it's even more obvious. an exchange begins diagonally between the two background players and it is often the one who makes the mistake first...
