What are the features of betting on the game on indoor hard:

• Forget about wind gusts, the likelihood of rain.
• In the hall were created so to say the ideal conditions for the game - is maintained at a comfortable temperature of 21-23 degrees Celsius, there are no gusts of wind. Artificial lighting is used.
• Cooled coating reduces the height of the ball bounce, but the length of the bounce increases due to the peculiarities of the surface. For the closed hardwood is used polyurethane or rubber, which reduces the load on the joints.

What determines the success of the game on indoor hard:

• Serving is incredibly important. Your serve is unaffected by wind, sunshine, and a host of other qualities. Those tennis players who have a strong serve don't miss indoor hard court tournaments.
• Percentage of passing the first serve. It is enough to strive to put the ball into play with a percentage of at least 60. Otherwise, the lion's share of points will have to be earned on the back line, and this increases the likelihood of a break.
• Playing at the net. After the first serve, it is extremely important to move quickly to the net and try to finish the rally in one stroke. By going to it, the player saves a lot of strength. Plus there is psychological pressure on the opponent. The opponent is likely to get nervous and try to play more, but more often than not, this leads to a higher number of unnecessary errors. On a closed hard court it is extremely difficult to outplay your opponent, since there is almost no time to make a decision.
• Reception. It seems that you can't do anything against a player with a solid serve and solid set piece on hard court; in fact, you can't. A simple backboard reception will be effective on this court. The receiver's job is to get the ball back to his opponent's side. The more balls you manage to return, the greater the chance that sooner or later your opponent will make a mistake.

When receiving, it is very important to understand if your opponent is coming to the net. If so, then the most effective techniques are:

• Directing the ball to the feet of the server.
• Crossover shots along the line or diagonally
• Candlestick

Your opponent is on the back line, then try to direct the ball into the court with a soft high reception. As a rule, in this case, the ball will land just under the back line.

• Reaction speed and movement along the back line. It is important to react very quickly to the bounce of the ball and get to it quickly, otherwise it will be impossible even in theory to count on winning.
• Tactics. You must not forget about reading your opponent's or opponent's game. The faster a player "reads" the game, the easier it is for him to predict the opponent's actions.

To sum it up, tennis players who tend to play actively are more successful on a hard court. Playing defense on hard court is extremely difficult. You have to try to play the ball as consistently as possible, avoiding fouls.

It is enough to direct the balls close to the lines and you don't have to do it really hard. Concentration is much more important than endurance.
