The finish point

Miodrag Covic Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois,

I was in many situations that I'am leading in set 10:8(an it's my serve),and in that kind position i really don't know what to serve.  Especially I mean those close tight matches when player's simply don't know what to play(frustration,scared...etc.)
So my question is what should I do in that situations? Could you please tell me some recipe for assured points?

Thanks,
Miodrag

Hi Miodrag,

In a tight situation I think it is best to serve your best serve, one that you are comfortable with.  Don't look for a cheap point but rather think about how you have been winning points to get you to 10 - 8 and try to repeat the process.  There is nothing assured about each point but you should put the odds in your favour by doing the things that have worked in the past rather than trying something that hasn't been proven.
