Willy (tweener)
A shot hit between the legs while running back towards your own back wall, used to reach a lob that has got past you. Named after Guillermo Vilas.
Hvornår du spiller det
When a lob has passed you and you cannot turn in time. Mostly a crowd-pleaser: a lob or the glass is usually the better choice.
Sådan spiller du det
Run back facing your own back wall, with the ball dropping in front of you. Let it fall low and flick it back between your legs. Aim high to give it time to clear the net.
Typiske fejl
Trying it when there is time to play a normal shot. Hitting yourself: keep your legs wide.
