Persistence

By Mike Hall, February 15, 2019

During a televised women’s singles match this week, a commentator praised a player for ‘digging in her heels’ and playing error free tennis.

What would ‘digging in your heels’ mean for you?

** refusing to go too big too early in a point

** shrugging off a double fault and making four first serves in a row

** playing determined tennis and breaking serve after losing a first set tiebreaker

** resolving to get the return of serve in play and force your opponents to earn their serving games
