Today we had our first match of the adult season. In Delaware it is always cold and windy early in the season and this seems to be the big equalizer.
Today I played singles against a guy that I smoked 2 seasons ago. On that day two years ago it was warm and still ... I completely out hit him and felt great doing it.
Today the weather stunk ... we played on crappy courts with no wind breaks and although I did win the match, nothing about it was satisfying. There were points in the match I felt like an 8 year old playing ping pong. Just knocking the ball back and forth being careful no to put in to close to the sidelines because the wind would move it 8-24 inches almost unpredictably.
So the question is what strategies do you employ when the conditions are awful?
