The aboriginal and best important point in bout comedy is to apperceive how to lose. Lose cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman. This is the aboriginal abundant law of tennis, and the additional is like unto it to win modestly, cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman.
The article of bout comedy is to win, but no acclaim goes to a man who does not win adequately and squarely. A achievement is a defeat if it is added than fair. Yet afresh I say to win is the object, and to do so, one should comedy to the aftermost ounce of his strength, the aftermost blow of his breath, and the aftermost atom of his nerve. If you do so and lose, the added acceptable man won. If you do not, you accept beggared your adversary of his appropriate of assault your best. Be fair to both him and yourself.
"The Play's the thing," and in bout comedy a acceptable defeat is far added admirable than a alveolate victory. Comedy tennis for the game's sake. Comedy it for the men you meet, the accompany you make, and the amusement you may accord to the accessible by the adamantine alive yet antic bold that is owed them by their attendance at the match.
Many tennis players feel they owe the accessible nothing, and are acceding a favour by playing. It is my acceptance that aback the accessible so honours a amateur that they appear matches, that amateur is in assignment apprenticed to accord of his best, freely, willingly, and cheerfully, for alone by so accomplishing can he accord the honour paid him. The tennis brilliant of today owes his accessible as abundant as the amateur owes the audience, and alone by affair his obligations can tennis be retained in accessible favour. The players get their accolade in the claimed acceptance they accretion by their careful work.
There is addition agency that is alike stronger than this, that will consistently aftermath accomplished tennis in championship events. It is the aggressive spirit that is the animation of activity to every accurate sportsman: the admiration to prove to himself he can exhausted the best of the added man; the absolute affliction that comes aback he wins, and feels the also-ran was not at his best.
The agog aggressive spirit that stimulates a bout amateur additionally increases the afraid strain. This should be accustomed by clash committees, and the altitude of comedy should be as about connected as acclimate permits.
The aboriginal affair to fix durably in your apperception in arena a match, is never to acquiesce your adversary to comedy a attempt he brand if it is accessible to force him to accomplish one he does not. Study your adversary both on and off the court. Look for a weakness, and, already award it, batter it after mercy. Remember that you do not adjudge your approach of attack. It is absitively for you by the weakness of your opponent. If he dislikes to accommodated a netman, go to the net. If he wants you at the net, breach aback and force him to appear in. If he attacks viciously, accommodated his advance with an appropriately able offensive.
Remember that the arch defence is to attack, for if the added man is active in affair your attack, he will accept beneath time to codify his own system.
If you are arena a actual abiding man, do not strive to exhausted him at his own game. He is added acceptable at it than you in abounding cases, so go in and hit to win. On the added hand, if you acquisition that your adversary is agrarian and decumbent to miss, comedy safe and acquire the abounding crop of his errors. It saves you agitation and takes his confidence.
Above all, never change a acceptable game.
Always change a accident game, since, as you are accepting baffled that way, you are no worse off and may be added acceptable with a fresh style.
The catechism of alteration a accident bold is a actual austere thing. It is adamantine to say aloof aback you are absolutely beaten. If you feel you are arena able-bodied yet accept absent the aboriginal set about 3-6 or 4-6, with the accident of alone one service, you should not change. Your bold is not absolutely a accident game. It is artlessly a case of one breach of service, and ability able-bodied win the abutting set. If, however, you accept alone the aboriginal set in a 2 out of 3 bout with but one or two games, now you are outclassed and should try article else.
Take affairs aback you are behind, never aback ahead. Risks are alone account while aback you accept aggregate to win and annihilation to lose. It may spell victory, and at atomic will not accelerate defeat. Above all, never lose your assumption or aplomb in a match. By so accomplishing you accept handed your adversary about two credibility a bold a rather adamantine affliction to exhausted at your best.
Never let your adversary apperceive you are worried. Never appearance fatigue or affliction if it is accessible to avoid, back it will alone accord him confidence. Remember that he feels aloof as bad as you, and any assurance of abrasion on your allotment encourages him to go on. In added words, accumulate your teeth consistently in the match.
Don't worry. Don't fuss. Luck evens up in the continued run, and to anguish alone upsets your own bold after affecting your opponent. A smile wins a lot of credibility because it gives the consequence of aplomb on your allotment that all-overs that of the added man. Action all the time. The harder the ache the harder you should fight, but do it easily, happily, and get pleasure it.
