Match highlights from flex league 2 | + 8.5 UTR + 5.0 NTRP |
@thenewyorkflex .
Nothing teaches you more than a real match and especially a beatdown like this one was.
.
When your opponent absolutely refuses to miss but can also come forward and pressure you it’s feels suffocating especially for a counter puncher who’s usually trying to force errors.
.
Real matchplay can sometimes test whether your tennis IQ is strong enough to find ways to win points let alone games and it’s really easy to unravel from the pressure of the scoreboard gettin away from you.
.
I immediately started to give away a ton more errors than usual from over hitting or getting impatient with bad shot selection while my opponent picked me apart methodically.
.
There is nothing that can simulate real matchplay situations and experience, it’s just not possible so sprinkling in real matches into your tennis schedule is the only way to get better at real competition.
You’ll also find the guys that played US college tennis compete at a different level of intensity.

Next @thenewyorkflex utr flex league starts early December |
