Rafael Nadal has won the French Open 13 times. He is the greatest clay court player of all time, if not the greatest player of all time. One of the keys to his success on all surfaces is his mentality. He hits every shot with the idea that no matter how good it is, his opponent will make the next shot and he will be ready to do it again.

If you watch professional tennis, it seems that there are a lot of different ways to follow through. Although players tend to have different finishing spots and techniques, most have a lot things in common on their follow throughs.

Most players dread the low reply from their opponent when approaching the net. This is definitely a difficult shot but if you can handle it, your opponent is likely to be surprised and frustrated.
