G.O.A.T.
As a budding singles player, I think I finally need to tackle my inner demons and develop some shot tolerance. Right now, I have none. Even in singles, I will sometimes hit the return and follow it in for no good reason. I will panic after the first couple of balls over the net and try a moonball, a drop shot, a slice, or rush the net outright. I change the direction of the ball willy nilly.
Has anyone who was born with no shot tolerance ever built up a decent shot tolerance? How many balls should I expect to have to hit before it is time to Make Something Happen? Should I just count and when it gets to 10 then feel justified in doing something rash? Should I just rally until they close the facility down?
How do I even know if I am "working a point?" The only way I know to work a point is to hit to one side (preferably their backhand) again and again, with more and more angle each time. Are there other options?
