WHY IS TENIS A SPORT WHICH IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER

THE TENNIS IS A SPORT VERY DIFFERENT TO ANYTHING ELSE … I EXPLAIN THE PERFECTION OF A TENNIS AND LOVER OF THIS SPORT, AFTER NADAL’S NEW COMEBACK FROM INJURY

• YOU ONLY WIN BY SETS. ALTHOUGH TO WIN SETS YOU HAVE TO WIN GAMES AND POINTS,
• NOT ALWAYS DOES THE WINNER GAIN MORE GAMES OR MORE POINTS …
• THEREFORE ONE MUST HAVE A COLD HEAD, PERSEVERANCE, PATIENCE AND BE SKILLFUL
• “ACES” AND “WINNERS” ARE SPECTACULAR, BUT IN THEMSELVES, THEY DON’T ASSURE VICTORY
• THERE IS AN AMPLE REPERTOIRE OF WINNING SHOTS: DROP, LOBS, PASSING BANANA SHOTS, REVERSED DRIVE … TRUE CHAMPIONS, MASTER THEM ALL …
• THE “UNFORCED ERRORS” DO NOT SCORE, BUT ALMOST ALWAYS THE IN WINNER HAS LESS
• THE ATTACK IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST DEFENSE, BUT THE DEFENSE IS THE BEST ATTACK
• McENROE SAID (I BELIEVE): IF YOU PASS A BALL MORE THAN THE RIVAL, YOU GAIN THE POINT
• PHYSICAL FORCE, HEIGHT, MUSCLES, NATURAL TALENT ETC. ARE NOT DETERMINANT
• OTHER PECULIARITIES: BATTLES OF 5 HOURS OR MORE … MENTAL FIGHT OF 1 VS 1
• YOU MUST BE ABLE TO OVERCOME INTERRUPTION BY RAIN, LACK OF LIGHT … WINDS, BLINDING SUNSHINE, INJURIES
• KEY MOMENTS: “BREAK POINTS”, DO NOT COME DOWN. RECOVER FROM “DOWNS”
• SURFACE MAKE A GREAT DIFFERENCE: HARD, CLAY, GRASS, INDOOR / OUTDOOR, ALTITUDE
ALL THESE FACTORS MAKE TENIS A DIFFERENT, PECULIAR SPORT, LIKE NO OTHER…
