Map Your Strategy Out Methodically In Competitive Tennis

I’m not saying that insanity and tennis are in any way linked, however they do both involve repeating the same actions over and over again and wanting differing results.
If you are in a tennis match and are, quite frankly, getting your butt kicked, you should seriously consider changing your strategy.
So why don’t people change their style of play to give themselves a better chance? You know that what you are doing isn’t working, so why stick to it?
A change of strategy should be included in your game plan, if something isn’t working it’s time to change it. There are players who you expect to lose to, changing tactics may surprise them and you end up the victor.
A serve and volley player relies on getting in to the net to make winning shots. If this isn’t your normal way of playing they are going to beat you soundly, so adapt your game and rush into the net at every opportunity.
This will confuse them as the net is their comfort zone and it should be them there, not you! Keeping them at the back of court makes then have to defend instead of attack.
If your opponent is slow around the court and relies on ball placement, do everything you can to run them ragged. From the baseline make them run after the balls, in they come the net, make them have to run backwards very quickly.
Your opponent literally won’t know what’s hit them when you play them at their own game. They will think they know your game and now you’ve caught them completely off guard and they are way out of their comfort zone.
Little changes like these can make all the difference between winning and losing. Bear these in mind next time you are playing and find yourself falling behind; you literally have nothing to lose, but a whole match to gain.
