Here are those mental points and how to utilize them to play strategically against a higher ranked opponent. Realize Who the Pressure Is On Hey, when you go out there to play this great opponent, you need to realize one thing. Although it might feel like all the pressure is on you, it’s not. The pressure is on your opponent because people expect him or her to beat you. Your opponent knows this as well.

US Tennis Fans Expecting Roddick to Rescue the US TennisPosted by: Mr.Tennis in Interesting SiteThis week’s tournament the Countrywide Classic, Andy has been seeded as the number six. Many believe Roddick still has lots to give to the tennis world and especially to the United States but he does not seem to be on the right track as after reaching the number one spot in 2003 he has not able to be in the number one spot once again. That same year Roddick achieved his maiden Grand Slam in New York City.
