Short cross court

Short cross-court is a type of shot in tennis where the ball is hit diagonally across the court, over the net, and lands on the opposite side of the court closer to the net. This shot is often used to catch opponents off guard and create an opening for the player to hit a winner or approach the net. It requires precise timing and accuracy to execute successfully, but can be a very effective way to control the pace of a rally and gain an advantage in a match.
