Let's talk about tennis : Let's go !
Hi !
I had to skip tennis for just one week due to work. When I returned to the court, my timing felt completely off. My serve rhythm was gone, and I was mishitting groundstrokes I normally make.
It's surprising how quickly the feel can disappear. Does this happen to everyone?

It happens to me every time. The serve is always the first thing to go and the last to come back.
My return routine is simple: I start with mini-tennis at the service line, then gradually move back. It recalibrates my sense of distance and touch.
