What is a "flick"?
A flick in tennis refers to a quick, light shot made with a sudden wrist movement. It is typically used when a player is close to the net or when a ball is coming at an awkward angle. The player flicks the wrist to add spin or to change the direction of the ball, often sending it over the opponent’s head or into an unexpected part of the court. Flick shots are fast and deceptive, requiring precision and timing to be effective in outmaneuvering the opponent.
Example
She used a flick of her wrist to add topspin to her forehand.
His backhand flick caught his opponent off guard.
