When I play with my coach, I play to a reasonable standard, driving through the ball, thinking tactically and just letting loose my A game.
And we do actually play points and with pressure to keep the ball in and keep my coach moving.
Unfortunately, like most people, I find it seldom translates into even 60% of that level of play in a match....Even when I have a more predictable opponent, who is not getting anything like the number of balls back.
It's frustrating, though I only lay the blame at my door, anyone with any suggestions as to how to 'release' one's own best performance during a match? I think this is the most frustrating enigma in tennis, as I know everyone has this to some extent - but to even play at 85% of how I know I can, would be a reasonable step :) Cheers!
