I won 1-6 6-2 6-2 today in my singles but i learnt that it could've been a 1-6 1-6
loss today if my forehand went south on me.
What did I learn from playing this match?
I played the match in hot sticky humid conditions. That is probably the worst kind of conditions to try to play a match in. The White Wilson Pro overwraps do not protect the player from hot humid conditions unfortunately...
Unfortunately in order to play good tennis, the swings must be all fluid and smooth, which means there must be no hitching issues happening while the racquet needs to turn in the hand when doing the pronation serves, or doing groundstrokes, ect.
But I found playing in Hot humid conditions however make these wraps become super extra clingy in the hand, combine that with sticky hot fingers and that causes HITCHING problems in the hand while the racquet is trying to turn and that then causes a nasty snowball effect, causing the swings to crash or become unstable from the hitching or completely derailing them and also derails the serve in the pronation causing
poor incomplete pronation leading to strings of double faults down
into the net and spraying the ball long wildly, causes all sorts of
troubles.
serve and stroke breakdown crashes in the match..
How do we solve this humidity clingy problem with the hands?
