Summary • Based on our research findings, coaches should design grass court practices that elicit proactive behaviours and foster attacking strategies (e.g. playing on the front foot, taking the ball early, and putting the opponent under positional and/or time pressure). • To reflect match-play, coaches should develop representative and specific serve, return and serve plus one based practice, and consider the amount of time players spend engaging in long, baseline rallies. • The four constraints-led task designs presented here demonstrate how coaches can apply the current findings, complemented by appropriate instruction and feedback, to ensure representative practice. • Coaches should tailor the implementation of such task designs, based on individual players` game styles and characters.
