opponent

Trying to overcome weaker opponents in tennis can be just as hard, and a whole lot more irritating, than playing stronger opponents.  And this scenario holds true for any tennis player out there who has played more than a few matches.  Again and again, you can find players at every level, including the pros, who lose to players who are definitely weaker.  The problem is that beating these weaker players should not be as much work as we're all making it.  There are ways to deal with, and succeed in, this situation.  So, to help you and me out, here are a few tips I've come up with to make our tennis lives easier when we come up against "weaker" tennis opponents.

In every tennis match you play, you not only have to play to your strengths, but you also need to figure out and take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses.  The best time to start figuring out just what your opponent's weaknesses are is not during the match, but before the match even starts, during the warm-up.  In this episode of Tennis Quick Tips, you'll learn what to look for during the warm-up so that you can quickly and easily evaluate your opponent.
