- Veteran plays: Drives and cross until opponent is out of position before playing a short. Don't go for winners outright, especially not on service returns (unless comfortably ahead).
- Play safe defense: drive straight, high, and deep when hitting from back court or when the ball is tight against the wall, play lobs from a boast (players are predicting my drop shots).
- Start to volley as soon as possible.
- Play fast serve against shooters who try to hit winners on returns.
Repeat to myself:
- The ball always comes back to you so don't overrun the ball.
- Think footwork is quick - quick - slow; quick off the mark - quick on the lunge - slow on moving off the shot.
- Improvise and adjust my swing to the situation. I must not be so rigid with my techniques.
- Exhale!
- If something works, keeping doing it. If something doesn't work STOP at once! (don't try to improve it during a match)
