Tennis journal for match logs, practice drills and serve progress

This tennis journal is for singles and doubles players who want every practice, lesson and match written down in one tidy place. Undated and 45 pages long, it includes 12 practice pages, 14 match pages with score lines and a court diagram, a tracker for stroke goals and progress, a serve practice tracker, lesson notes, a fitness log, a log for gear and string tension, a planner for tournaments and leagues, a match record, and pages to set season goals and review the season.

Both US Letter and A4 PDF files are yours to download at once. Nothing is mailed.

How the tennis journal helps your game improve

When practice is over, note your focus and up to 10 drills with their minutes and reps, how each went and what needs fixing. Over time you see which drills truly lift your game. After a match, record the score lines, surface and conditions, six key numbers, what went well, your errors and notes on your opponent, then sketch the patterns you saw on the court diagram.

Each month the stroke tracker rates 12 strokes, and the serve tracker shows your first and second serve results by target, so progress is easy to see on paper. Lessons, fitness, strings and tournaments are all kept together in one binder.
