After hitting a wide forehand or backhand, regardless of what
you do to recover, you've got to start early. Begin your recovery
as you're watching the result of your shot. Too many people
wait to see if they've executed their shot succesfully before
beginning to get back towards the middle. If that's the case,
even if I've hit a good shot, it might all be for nought, as you've
probably left way too much open court for your opponent to hit
into.
