Play with what you have got.
Play with what you have got. Quite often when you go to play things aren’t perfect in terms of preparation. You might not have played much, or you might be getting over an injury, or you might still have a little niggle. Or you might be exhausted from your last game. Whatever the reason- things are not exactly as you would like them going into the match. It has been my experience that your mental and emotional state are so crucial to the result. You can tell sometimes by people’s body language right from the start how they are going to go. You have got to put all the negative stuff out of your head, and concentrate on a game plan before you get on the court. Play one point at a time, and play each point one shot (the right shot) at a time. The top four inches (your brain) is so important, and your attitude and frame of mind is crucial when you walk on the court. Work on getting this right as much as your physical skills, because they are at least as important.
