Seriously. Several certified pros have commented on how solid my strokes are. I have read so much and watched so many videos that I pretty much know the correct strategies for match play.
BUT. This does not translate into winning tennis. I just can't find a way to win in most matches.
Not surprisingly, it mostly comes down to not being able to be consistent enough. I'm not able to "suffer" for my losses and make my opponents play.
Here's the problem: that knowledge can't help me win. Even if I say "okay, just get the ball in play" there is no improvement in consistency. In fact, I often get more timid and things get worse.
I know the standard answers like use directionals, attack your opponents weakness, play your strength to their weakness, etc.
Still, I can't win tennis matches.
Sorry this is a bit of a vent, but I'd love to hear any thoughts you guys have on competing.
