Practice Like You Play a Match

Key Points

• Set up drills in practice that can transfer directly to your match play
• The majority of points are 3 or 4 shots, so be very clear about what you’re doing with your return plus one or serve plus 1
• Players shouldn’t be too technical when analyzing missed shots
• Focusing on the specifics of drills you’ve worked on in practice, can help relieve the pressure during a match
• Set up drills with points that include patterns you would normally use in a match
