I know this sounds kind of ridiclous, but do you think on a given day
a very good 4.0 player can beat a 5.0 player?
I have been a top 5 4.0 player (#1 in 2005, #2 in 2006 ) , but I have started
playing the age group tournaments (the 50's). I am playing a big State tournament and should get by my first round and then I would play the #1
seed in the quarters. He is a former college player currently rated 5.0.
I have beaten some decent 4.5 players this year, but have never played a 5.0.
I don't have a power game. My strengths are a very hard,low slice backhand
groundstroke and approach and a very good reach at the net (6'2" and playvery tall).
The other thing I do well is fight and dig and get just about any ball back. I will literally leave my guts on the court.
I know you should never go on the court thinking you do not have a chance, but is realistic to think that on a given day and under the right conditions, that I could take several games or even win a set ot even the match?
What strategy would you use in this situation?
thanks for the advice
