Semi-Pro
WHY?
I played a really strong player last night; great serve, strong groundstrokes of both wings. Competent (not great) volleyer. A really close game that I played really well in and edged in 2 close sets.
Last week I played two 'realtively' weaker players. Edged one in 3 and lost to the other in 3. They weren't bad players, they had sound strokes, but lacked power and were nowhere as accurate as the guy I played last night - honestly I just underperformed. I've played both of these guys a few times before and had beaten them every time previous, once 6-1, 6-1 but more often than not they are close.
This seems to be becoming a pattern with me. Against strong players I play well (don't always win, but invariably play well). Against relatively weaker players however, I seem to increasingly struggle. I can see their weaknesses and plan/play accordingly - but never seem to be able to execute. More often than not, I win but its not as comfortable as it could be??
Someone please enlighten me!!!!!:???::???::???::???:
