So, we ran the numbers using over 32,800 points from last year’s US Open (Women – 10,700, Men – 22,150 points).
Most errors are OUT, not in the NET. As a general rule of thumb, for every 5 errors made, 2 (or 40%) are in the net, and 3 (or 60%) are out..
So, lose the blanket over the net.

Missing most balls long or wide (like the pros), is an indication that your strokes have depth (or angle). Depth and angle are two key areas of controlling a point. Those errors in the net would probably have been short if they had made it over, giving your opponent the opportunity to attack.
