Your doubles team has just won a hard fought first set by the score of 7-5.
What’s your plan as the second set begins?
First, realize that your opponents may be a bit deflated after dropping such a close set.
Second…understand the natural dynamic of relaxing and taking your foot off the gas because you have the lead.
Third…commit with your partner to fight like junk yard dogs to get a break up in the second.
Who knows, break their serve right away and they might fold like a lousy hand in poker.
