Ok, I admit it, I must be "mentally weak" b/c more often than not, I'm losing matches I shouldnt be losing. It feels freaking horrible.
I know what it feels like to play well and be relaxed and loose (I win almost every match when I feel like this). But there are times when the match gets really close (esp. towards the end of the match) and my nerves get the best of me and I start to fall apart very quickly! It feels like sliding down a steep cliff and I cant stop. What can I do?
My pattern is that I usually start matches very strong but when it gets close, I become tight and cannot finish. I lost my last match 6-7, 6-7 b/c the level of my play dropped dramatically in the tie breakers in both sets and I basically just "gave away" the match! I felt horrible!
Sometimes I think it's kinda rediculous and almost funny that I get affected this much by some stupid match that no one even really cares about. But I guess it's not really losing the match that bothers me, IT'S THE MANNER IN WHICH I LOST!
If only I could find a good "mental coach", I'm sure my game would improve dramatically!
