Why can't anybody challenge Roger Federer?
Ball bounces keep the ball in the air standing still. 25 Pushups x5. suicides x5. 1 min rest in between. 10 Over under. 10 shuffle both ways. "quick feet" takind tiny steps really fast. Walls sits 2x1min.I am a freshman on varsity this year so i will try to help. Lifting weights isn't the best tennis workout because tennis is more core and legs, not upper body. Working on upper body helps but doing sit ups will probably give you more of a benefit, as well as making you faster. You can also do suicides, running, touching one line on a court, running back and continuing this process. This will make you faster and give you more endurance. Bounce the ball on your racket as well; while this seems stupid it will help you find balance on your racket. The best thing of all though is to play matches constantly.
Hope i was a help and good luck!

If you just wanna stay at home (and assuming you don't have a tennis court at home), you can do pushups, situps, running in place, jumping jacks, and stretches.Are there any Tennis drills that I could do when I am alone?
Stretching is huge for tennis players , you can defiantly do that at home . Push Ups , Sit Ups and wrist exercises are all big and do not create to much mass and keep you lean .Just do the workout I do.
1. Ride 15 minutes on a bike each day
2. Run 2 miles (or a few times around the court)
3. Do some stretching (30 seconds each, repeat 2 times)
4. Do 10 minutes rope skipping, to keep your knees flexible
5. Practice your serve, backhand, forehand, volleys 15 minutes each
6. 2 x 30 Sit-ups and push-ups
After a month, you should increase this workout, by increasing the pace OR doing the double...
After another month you should go back to the previous work out.
After another month you should increase again...
And so on, this keeps me fit and muscled.
