Singles approach focused on forcing the challenger to move as much as possible. This means that singles strokes are normally directed to the corners of the court. Therefore, players utilize the length of the court by combining lifts and clears with drop shots and net shots. In singles, players will often start the rally with a forehand high serve or with a flick serve. Low serves are also used frequently, either forehand or backhand. The singles court is narrower than the doubles court, but the same length. At high levels of play, singles demands extraordinary fitness. Singles is a game of patient positional maneuvering, unlike the all-out aggression of doubles.
