Psychological Strategies
Competitive tennis revolves around offensive tactics, aiming to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses, mistakes and court positioning.
Most tennis strategies rely on the cold logic about angles, distances, speeds, and chances of success. The other important aspects are your mental state, being patient, and staying focused even when the match gets intense.
Integrating psychological strategies into competitive tennis can make a significant difference in performance, especially during those crucial moments that determine the outcome of a match. And especially when playing against a stronger player.
And most times, even just starting a match on the right foot is a challenge for most of us!
