Advancing to the net is a tennis player’s maneuver when they move closer to the dividing net. As a rule, this is done for a volley, to maximize the aggravation of the game or to reduce the angle of shooting.

Advancing to the net is fully justified if a high-quality sharpening blow was made before that. The opponent is forced to play soft or high. This makes it possible to execute the finishing volley. As an aggravating action preceding the exit to the net, a strong serve under the back line or a “shortened” one can go.
Especially often, tennis players advance to the net on fast surfaces (for example, on grass courts). The fact is that a rapid rebound greatly complicates the task of the opponent. Often they will simply return the ball without trying to make a dangerous shot. In such cases, advancing to the net is very appropriate.
