-an important one is  to follow through with your swings...

your wrist should start near your hip, and end around your shoulders.

-stopping half way doesn't give it full potential, and the ball can tend to go towards the net (downwards).

-remember, low to high.

that's my biggest problem..

coach tells me that all the time xD.

-staying active on both feet helps you be ready for anything unexpected.

-always be ready for the ball just BEFORE it comes over the net.

-also, be sure you're holding the racquet properly.

most people tend to not hold it from the very bottom the way it should be.

there are certain methods for holding it (some give more advanced effects than others), so you should check up on it.

takes time to get the hang of, but you'll get it eventually.

you should look up some tennis  basic technique videos on  youtube or something =D.

good luck, and have fun!!
