锘? A little known secret about winning tennis matches is that
you should always take notice of what your opponent does from the moment you
walk on the court.

Too many people are only bothered about themselves and
what they are going to do that they miss vital pieces of information that will
be vital in the upcoming match.

Before we move on and I get people
yelling at me that they have heard so called experts say that you should only be
concerned with what you are doing Will

Yes, of course you have to
get yourself right and ready to play but tennis is not a sport like say..golf!
Yes both sports do involve opponents, but their influence on the contest is
totally different.

Golf is a sport that demands that you play as well as
you can on every shot, every hole and every round, with the indirect
interference and influence of your opponent.

Tennis is a sport that
demands that you do react to what your opponent does but there is a direct
interaction between you.

Let me explain what I mean.

When you play
tennis DeSean

, you have to play shots according to the
shots that your opponent hits over the net to you!

You have to react to
the situations that they put you in as a consequence of those shots, because at
the end of the day you are both playing with the same tennis ball on the same
tennis court hence the direct interaction!

So, I will say it again Golf
is different!

There maybe situations that arise that force you to re
think your shots or strategy because of something an opponent has done but that
is only mental adjustment. You are both playing with different balls and
possibly on completely different holes, which is why the interaction is
indirect.

In tennis, you have both a physical and a mental interaction
with your opponent Josh

, so to ignore them is a bit like a lawyer
going into a case with only her legal case notes and no idea about what the
other party is bringing to the table.

It just wouldnt happen!

So,
with that in mind lets focus on your opponent.

THE OPPONENT

Every
player out there has shots and situations that they favor as well as shots and
situations that cause them pain. Here are 4 of the most common PAIN SPOTS I have
seen in the club player and how YOU should exploit them.

These are tennis
facts!

1. Backhand. Most club players have a weaker andor less powerful
backhand. So aim your attack there (DONT forget your serves).

Jim
Courier, was the man when it came to this tactic.

He was the first guy on
the tour to take this tactic and make a career out of it (World No1 & 4
Grand Slams!!).

He would bludgeon the ball into opponents backhands with
his forehand over and over until you either made a mistake or he got you out of
position and he hit a winner into the open court.

If you can employ this
simple tactic you will draw errors as well as getting balls that you can
dominate the points from.

The other point that is often overlooked is
that they will have less chance of attacking you if they are forced to use this
weaker shot, and that can only be good.

2. Weak second serve. You must
ALWAYS be aggressive when returning weak second serves. You need to be going for
attacking shots and winners by hitting into space and even coming to the
net.

Dont be put off if you are missing some of your attempts. Look at it
as practice of a skill that you can improve on during the course of a
match.

More importantly, doing this will have a devastating effect on
your opponent who will be petrified to miss a first serve with the thought of
you getting after their second serve. They will either take pace off their first
serve to avoid hitting a second (good news!) or try to hit an ace on every first
serve (good news as well!) This always leads to an upturn in double faults and
therefore FREE points for you.

3. Poor conditioning. Many club players
have poor fitness levels that is a fact!!

Andre Agassi was brilliant at
this tactic especially later on in his brilliant career.

He would command
points from the centre of the baseline and move his opponent from side to
side Matt
Jones Redskins Jersey
, often prolonging the points just to get the
maximum physical effect. He knew this would build up over the course of the set
and match so that his opponents were there for the taking whenever he wanted to
finish them off.

You need to take advantage of this fact by making them
move as much as you can with lots of changes of direction. This will bring about
a state of fatigue pretty quickly and we all know what fatigue leads to dont
we??

Remember FATIGUE = ERRORS

4. Inability to cope with certain shots
andor situations.
Many players show frustration over certain shots or tactics
that their opponent employs.

So, what should you do?

Find
it!

And

Keep playing it & let them beat themselves!!

It
sounds cruel I know, but worry about it when you are in the next round (believe
me they will survive!)

CASE STUDY: I was playing in a tournament and
turned up to find out that I was drawn to play my friend and doubles partner in
the singles. Obviously we both would have preferred to have played someone else
but we had to get on with it!
