Trouble Finish Out the Game, or Set, or Match.

[tennisp13]

Hi

Need some advise here, how to finish it out.

It happen lately alot. When I am up 40-15, or 40-0 or leading 5-4 and serving the set. I begin to get tenative and get nervous and usually end up lose the game or the set. I keep telling myself to be lossen up and not tight it up but end up very tenative and tight in which i tend to hit weaker shot and overhit them too much...

What need to be done to overcome this. It a mental thing!!!! I know it effecting my match play since it lose more match and the confident just gone.

Thanks,
P

Play lots of matches. Playing matches will give you the experience of the pressure of a match. Don't play with just friends or people you know maybe join a tournament and randomly ask people if they want to play sometime for a match. also at wimbleton.org they have a player search if you join for people in your area. Its free to join. Playing lots of matches will help your mental game.
