Strategy
Hello,
I have identified a recent problem that in almost start of every match, I tend to lose first couple of sets. But then once my momentum builds up, I make a come back and win remaining sets to win the game. Sometimes from match point down.
But the problem is against high level players, this does not work and I easily lose the match in straight sets.
This has cost me a lot particularly the score line is either 3-0 loss against high level players or a 3-2 win against good players.
Any advise on how can I improve on that aspect.
Thanks
Noman
Hi Noman,
Try to prepare for the match and make sure you are ready to play the first point as well as you can.
Some things that will help this are:
Takes these steps and see if this improves your ability to start a match better.
As a defender you need to keep the ball low and deep, use variation of spin, speed, and placement, and attack occasionally.

Thank you so much.
The same thing happened yesterday. I lost the first two sets.
Will let you know the progress.

Don't let it become a psychological barrier. If you convince yourself that you'll always loose the two first sets, chances are that you will. Try to break that "habit" and focus on winning the first or second set, regardless of what happens next.
