Strong and stable legs provide the foundation for almost every movement on the tennis court. In Part 3 of our tennis fitness series, the focus is on developing leg strength, stability and controlled explosiveness. The exercises target the legs and glutes while combining strength with balance, body control and dynamic movement. Single-leg and multidirectional movements are particularly important, as they closely reflect the physical demands players face on court.

Improved leg strength helps players accelerate more effectively, control lateral movements and maintain a stable base even when hitting from challenging positions. It also supports efficient deceleration and quicker recovery for the next movement. A varied tennis-specific fitness session for players looking to improve their footwork, stability and explosiveness on court.
