Wow. I recently took a set off the number 1 player in canada in the 50-55 age group. I'm 49 so I'm getting close.
This was by far my biggest set win in my life and although I lost the match it validated a lot of the work I've been doing on my game and my tactical approach.
How I'd do it? I served big and well. More interestingly, I noticed a few patterns that were working to my advantage and I kept on using them.
For example, I noticed that my hard flat serve to the backhand wasn't giving my opponent trouble . He was able to block them back with a short slice backhand stroke. But ,when I hit hard kick on the first serve the height of the bounce surprised him and he made mistakes.
Also I noticed he was vulnerable to a really tough slice serve so I really went after my slice to give it a mean curve after the bounce.
My confidence that I can take a set off anybody is now sky high. Can't wait for the next tournament.
Until next time,
