mental game

Hey ! I've been buying from Tennis Warehouse for a long time and I was not even aware there was a forum ! In a few weeks, I will be launching a small tennis news sharing blog that I hope will transform itself into a community over time. Besides news, I will also be sharing different articles...

What is the skillset which makes up a good tennis mentality? What do I need to master to become mentally strong? Thanks all :)

Hey everyone, I'm doing a project investigating how important mentality is in comparison to skill, at professional and recreational levels. I was hoping that this was the right place to post a question like this just to get some different inputs and perspectives. Feel free to ask any questions...

Yesterday I was playing a match against a player I'd never won against. I've never even come close to winning against him. The best I've ever done was lose 6-4, 6-0. I also hate his guts, as he was really unkind to me when I started out. I was totally dead, mentally. I had no confidence in any...

I was surprised that my search for cannabis and CBD had so few results, so decided to start a new thread. I live in CO where marijuana has been legalized and have been doing some "research" lately ;-). I became interested awhile back when I noticed the “1.5 beer syndrome” during social tennis...

This thread is about Rod Laver's temperament - and how much it contributed to his success' I've never seen a Grand Slam, and when I imagine it, the picture that comes to my mind is one of sheer and utter dominance - straight sets, breadsticks, bagels - that sort of thing. Hence, I find the...

Hey guys. I'm a 3.5. Ten of my losses since February have been either 6-4, 7-5 or three set losses. In many of these I have been up in a set, sometimes as much as 5-2 in a set or 9-6 in a 10 point tie break and end up losing. Many times I've been up 4-3 or 5-4 and lost as well. Nothing...
