Objective:
Improve specific aspect of match play by accentuating the importance of not making errors early in the point and therefore handing your opponent easy “pressure relieving” points.
Instruction :
Play a set or tie breaker penalising any player who makes an error in the first 5 shots 2 points (excluding a forced error from the 1st serve.)
Look to work at:
· Playing aggressive but safe (ie. deep cross court) shots early in the point · Look to build the point, opening up the court and exposing the opponents weakness’
Scoring and Details :
Making unforced errors early in the point is the worst way to hand the momentum to your opponent. It takes the pressure off mentally and physically giving the challenging player every opportunity to take control of the match.
