Challenging Match Play
These following games are meant for spicing up the regular way of playing the tennis sets.
CMP - 1
The two players play a set using regular scoring.
The only changes are: servers are allowed only one serve per point and the “let” is played.
The game promotes serving under pressure knowing that only one serve is allowed and also that the receiver will attack it.
CMP - 2
Two players play a regular scoring set where the server must follow the serve to the net on every point.
Variation: The returner must follow her return to the net also.
CMP - 3
Two players attempt to win a set against each other by playing as follows: either player who gets to 40 will have to win the next point; otherwise he/she will go back to the score of 0 (within the game).
CMP - 4
Two players attempt to win a set against each other by playing as follows: every ace wins a game; every double fault loses a game; everything else works as dictated by the rules.
CMP - 5
Two players play a regular set with one “little” exception: every time a player serves she should do it from inside the baseline (feet should be inside the baseline).
This game will force the returner to react faster and shorten the back-swing.
