Objective:
Improve specific aspect of match play by emphasising the importance of setting up and using your strengths.
Instruction :
Play a set where the server always starts the game at 0 - 30. The coach should emphasise endeavour for the serving player (“fight back”) and concentration for the receiving player (“secure the break”) This variation teaches:
· Converting break point opportunities; and
· Comeback efforts from the server.
Scoring and Details :
Think of Pete Sampras serving his way out of trouble “all the time.” Think also of the best return players like Hewitt and Agassi who step up the pressure and don’t miss their returns from 0 – 30. This game is also a great mental exercise – exposing players who will cruise at 0 – 30 or 30 – 0.
