The Smarter Singles Method

Beat Players Who Hit Harder Than You — By Outthinking Them

Most tennis players lose matches they should win. Not because of their technique. Because they have no plan. This book gives you one.

You've been playing more. Practicing more. Watching more YouTube tutorials.

And yet — the same types of players keep beating you. Harder hitters. Bigger servers. Players who just seem to impose their game on you.

Here's what no one tells you:

The difference between winning and losing at your level isn't talent. It's decision-making.

In 2024, Jannik Sinner won only 55% of all points played — the same percentage as Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal at their peaks. Tennis matches aren't won by domination. They're won by making slightly smarter decisions, slightly more often, than your opponent.

That's exactly what The Smarter Singles Method teaches you to do.

What is The Smarter Singles Method?

It's a complete singles strategy system built around one core framework: ROAF — Rally, Opportunity, Attack, Finish.

ROAF describes how every point is structured — and how winning players think through each phase instead of just reacting.

• Rally with purpose — control the point from the baseline with depth, spin, and intent. Not just keeping it in.

• Recognize Opportunities before they happen — so you're attacking at the right moment, not guessing.

• Attack with a plan — using Power, Precision, or Position depending on the ball you get.

• Finish cleanly at the net — with the angled volleys, overheads, and positioning that end rallies.

Most players skip steps 1–3 and wonder why their attacking shots keep backfiring. ROAF fixes that.

Inside the book, you'll also get:

✅ The Three Windows — a simple net clearance system that immediately reduces unforced errors and adds depth to every groundstroke

✅ The Court Map — Rally Zone, Attack Zone, and Finishing Zone. You'll always know what shot to hit from where.

✅ The 4 Play Styles & 6 Strategies — identify your natural game and build a plan around it instead of copying someone else's

✅ All Balls Crosscourt (ABCs) — the decision framework that stops you from giving your opponent free angles

✅ The Personalized Game Plan (PGP) — walk onto every court knowing exactly how you're going to play. Included as a free companion download.

Who is this for?

This book is for tennis players at the 3.0–4.5 level who are tired of losing matches they know they should win. If you've ever walked off the court thinking "I hit well — I just made bad decisions" — this is your book.

This is NOT a technique book. There are no drills for your forehand swing. This is 100% strategy, court intelligence, and match mindset.

About Cooper Anderson

I'm a tennis teaching professional with over 15 years of experience developing players from beginner to advanced.

But the Smarter Singles Method didn't come from the teaching side of the net. It came from competing.

While making the finals of multiple open USTA tournaments and earning a 5.0 NTRP rating, I needed a real system — not theory. I built ROAF, the Court Map, and The Three Windows to solve my own problems on court. When my game plan became instinct, I stopped thinking and started competing. I call that Automatic Tennis — and it's what this book is designed to give you.

Now I teach this same system to every player I coach. This is it.

The bottom line:

You can keep grinding without a strategy and hope something clicks.

Or you can spend $29 on a system that teaches you to outthink your opponents — and start winning matches you used to lose.
