Yesterday, a very young cowboy had a tennis drill group that was attended by Susan, Suzie, Susan, and Susan.
Susan P. mentioned that her and her partner were starting slowly in their matches and losing the first set routinely.
I suggested they change their routine.
Find a team who is competitive and play the best 5 of 7 sets.
Start each set at three or four games all and have at it. By starting at these scores, you inject some urgency into the match where each point feels more important and you can’t afford to start slowly.
If that doesn’t work, try wearing some funky sox and see if that energizes you.
