ROAD TO 1550 TTR Week 12 - State Championships 2024

It's generally a bad idea to carry on playing when you injured yourself, although I fully understand why you did it, but I'm happy it turned out not costing you, but rather gave you some nice matched and satisfaction at the end of the day. As always, thanks for sharing.

🎉🎉🎉 you did it well. I like the self awareness you have about your mistakes and how decided you are to correct them. Also it is so inspiring that you continued playing. This is amazing

Nice run in the tourney, i gotta say thou i would enjoyed it more if u show the last points of a close set as well.
Its a bit strange when u say u do too many easy mistakes and the set isnt going well while u only show the points u win and the viewer is thinking oh its going well what is he talking about..
Also as said b4 u should definitely put in TTR of ur oponents and ur current one afterwards, since the whole series is called Road to 1550 TTR and you leave us completely blind on that road. Also makes it less interesting to watch u play opponentes when we have no clue what level they are.

No, mate, playing warm-up sets beforehand WILL NOT help you.

Being cautious is not a physical problem, meaning that it won't matter how warmed up your body is. Being cautious is a MENTAL/EMOTIONAL PROBLEM. This means that you have to come in with a different mindset. You have to be sure in your heart that you will win and never have any doubts in your mind.

On Wednesday, I was extremely tired going into my 3rd, and final competitive league match of the day. I had won my previous 2 matches (I'm on a very long unbeaten streak right now. My level is extremely high in the past 2 months, even for the highest level of play). But, I hadn't slept very well the night before, which is one of the worst things that can happen in this sport. Not many things will drop your level more than that. Anyway, I went down 2 sets to none in a best of 5 in that 3rd match. But, I am so insanely clutch because I have MENTAL and EMOTIONAL resilience and assuredness at all times. So, at the end of the second set I immediately said DIRECTLY and very seriously to my opponent "All right. That's enough of that. Here comes the big comeback.". I said it calmly and without any question in my heart. I got pissed off at myself and woke myself up just enough to start really making plays. Then, I came back and won 3 sets in a row to win the match. Sets 3 and 4 both went to multiple deuce points too. But, if I get to deuce, I simply am not losing. Period. Then, in set 5 I won 11-6 because I had defeated him MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY, as he'd had multiple match points in sets 3 and 4, but he'd failed to capitalise on them (due to me ALWAYS bringing my best serve and receive game with my back against the wall and due to him very obviously being nervous and excited). I broke his heart by getting to a 5th set and I knew that I would just need to come out the gate strong with my serves and take my first 3 or 4 serve points while trying to make him make the mistakes that gave me each point. I knew that would crush his spirit and give me the opportunity to simply play solid and hold him off the rest of the way. And that's exactly what I did. The minute that I smelled fear on his end is when I began starting to make quick little movements while his serve toss was in the air, just as he began to toss it. I wanted him to catch me out of the corner of his eye looking as if I was about to pounce on every serve of his. It's very difficult to get good touch on your serves when you're nervous. So, doing that disrupted the quality of his serves and it also put him flat-footed on the 3rd ball because he was worried about what I was about to do and it made him late to get reads on my ball.

Next year you win, if your back doesn't break again.

the over 70 guy looks crazy jacked lol
