How do you define insanity? Well one way is to describe it is to repeatedly do the same actions but expecting a different result each time, very much like playing tennis in fact.
Playing tennis is very strategic, and if you find your self losing in quite spectacular fashion, is it time to change your tactics.
So why don't people change their style of play to give themselves a better chance? You know that what you are doing isn't working, so why stick to it?
A change of strategy should be included in your game plan, if something isn't working it's time to change it. There are players who you expect to lose to, changing tactics may surprise them and you end up the victor.
If you're opponent is well known for rushing the net and volleying, don't let them get there. Beat them at their own game and get to the net first, this will confuse them.
This will confuse them as the net is their comfort zone and it should be them there, not you! Keeping them at the back of court makes then have to defend instead of attack.
If your opponent is slow around the court and relies on ball placement, do everything you can to run them ragged. From the baseline make them run after the balls, in they come the net, make them have to run backwards very quickly.
Your opponent literally won't know what's hit them when you play them at their own game. They will think they know your game and now you've caught them completely off guard and they are way out of their comfort zone.
So next time you walk onto a court be aware of your opponents weaknesses or style of play so that if they start beating you it's easier to change your strategy and really confuse them.
