Coach a player to victory over your favorite CHALLENGE

Hitman

Bionic Poster
The Challenge - You will coach a player picked for you by another TTW member, and you will coach this player on how to defeat your favorite player by explaining key tactics, strategies, and exploiting weakness and specific patterns of play that your favorite player is vulnerable to. You need to take into consideration that your favorite could be in form, so what would you do to combat that if your primary game plan doesn't work....

You've studied your favorite player, so you've done your homework, now is the time to let your professional side take over and put it all into practice.

The key things you will need to address in your coaching statement.

- If you win the toss, should your player choose to serve or return? Take into account the time of day, the conditions.
- What primary key tactics should your player do when serving? Take into account serving BP down, or after a long rally for example, or SP or MP
- How should your player return serve? Court positioning, on BP, SP etc
- How to approach the tie-break
- Primary tactics and patterns of play to use during a rally
- What things must your player not do during a rally
- What key strengths of your favorite must they be wary of and how to combat it
- What happens if your primary tactics fail, what is plan B or C

Remember you need to take all the above things into account in accordance to the capabilities of your player. You can decide what court it gets played on. Can you ensure a solid coaching plan that can lead a player to victory over your fav?

To participate - post a reply stating who is your fav tennis player and that you are ready to help coach a tennis player to victory over him or her. Any poster can then nominate a player for you to coach. If you accept this player, you will provide your coaching tactics here for us all to see. Readers and other participants will then give opinion how informative your coaching skills are, and we will see who comes out as the winner. Remember you must cover all those key things mentioned above, and of course the more you add on how you see the match going and it's possible scenarios the better and more enjoyable of a read it will be for the rest of us.

OK TTW coaches, lets go for it.

I'll start my throwing my own name into the hat

- My favorite player is Novak Djokovic and I am ready to take on a nominated player by a TTW poster to victory should I accept that challenger.
 
So you want me to coach Kyrgios to beat Djokovic? OK, I will accept the challenge and provide my coaching strategies for Kyrgios to use to beat Djokovic. (y) :cool:

Sorry, I got it backwards. I meant coach N0-VAX to beat a hot Kyrgios. Nick is already pretty good at beating ********.
 
Hitman, how do you think Nadal can beat Djokovic on a slow- medium paced HC.

OK - I will take this challenge on and provide you with how I would personally coach Nadal to a win over Djokovic on medium paced HC. :)(y)
 
Really good idea Hitman.
I've actually thought about this very topic myself but didn't know how to put it in a thread in such an intriguing way

You up for the challenge yourself? Coach someone to a win over Nadal?

Yh I'm ready. Just let me know whose the lucky one that gets to be coached by me ;)


Cool. You're going to coach Tsitsipas to a win over Nadal in a HC slam. Let's see how you can turn it around for the Greek player and get him a major victory over Rafa.

I'll post my coaching strategy for Rafa to beat Djokovic today. Remember, you need to cover all the key points in the OP, lay out the match for us. Good luck! (y):)
