I had a singles match this morning and my opponent took an early lead which resulted in me losing it pretty early on in the match and I started shouting and throwing my racket and stuff, which probably cost me the whole match because I was just getting more and more frustrated as the match went on and I ended up losing... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I legitimately don’t understand how people end up throwing their rackets, but maybe find yourself a little routine (something small along the lines of straightening strings) and do it between points to refocus.
Also maybe go see a therapist. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Act like a mature adult. Throwing your racket and shouting is absurd. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
If you're able to, catch yourself as you're about to throw your racquet, count to 3, and then decide whether or not you still want to throw it. 10 out of 10 times you won't end up throwing it, and you might be able to salvage some mental from that | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Why are you throwing your raquet? That's fairly extreme... You need to take some deep breaths and try and treat a game like it's no big deal. Focus on your game and set yourself little goals.
For example, focus on how you will return their serve, one point at a time. Then closing your point. Think of things calmly and... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
> Throwing your racket and shouting is absurd
I know that’s why I want to stop doing it lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Build a routine of what you do before every point. This will get your mind off of pervious points and help you stay locked in, thus distracting you from your emotions. This could be something like spinning your racket before a point or staring at your strings for a few seconds. Secondly, take deep breaths and remember ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
It's hard for me to fully understand where your head is at as I've never had this problem on the court, but perhaps it's about a change in mentality. Especially when losing, focus more on strategy than mistakes/frustrations.
What lead to you being frustrated in this moment? Perhaps your opponent is abusing your game ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I feel like everyone can be different. I've had different coaches tell me different things over the years. From training yourself to just yell absurd things if you miss a shot "banana smoothie!" for example, to becoming hyper focused on individual points. The other thing that's probably helped me is to stop caring abou... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Therapy, my man, therapy. If you are losing control of your emotions because you are playing subpar or frustrated with how the match is going, it usually means you have something else bothering you in life, past or present. Tennis at any level below a pro level should be challenging and fun, but when it becomes anythin... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
There's only one true way: mindfulness meditation | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
As someone else who struggles with their emotions in a match, I have found it helpful to try and forget about each point after it happens. Someone on here once said you should have memory like a goldfish. Sometimes I say the word “ball” over and over again in my head like a mantra to keep my focus on just the ball and ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
How old are you? I’m sorry but throwing your racquet and shouting???? This is extremely immature and incredibly disrespectful to your opponents.
Remember the game means nothing, no money, no title, no rank. It’s for fun! Stop, breathe a few times and remember no matter what the outcome, you will be a better player af... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
At least you're aware that's a huge problem
What I think to myself when I'm frustrated is that this is not important at all to my life. Winning or losing a match is not a huge achievement, it's not anything. I do this for fun, it's not my job.
If you're getting frustrated enough that you're throwing your stuff, you ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I’d go to a therapist if you can afford it. This advice applies to all people as well, but at least you have a minor topic to break the ice with. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Everytime I’m down, I yell out “goin for DEUCE BABY” and just focus on the point. And if I lose the game, I think about boobs. Boobs always make me happy. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Give yourself five seconds after every point to let your emotions out. I don’t care if you hit an amazing winner or whiffed an overhead l, you get five seconds to process and flush it out of your system and move on to the next point. Don’t let losing a single point turn into losing an entire set because of mental weakn... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Deeper issues that may involve therapy as others have suggested aside, it's important to come to peace with the fact that part of why tennis is such a great sport is because of how easy it is to win AND lose from any situation.
Consider Djokovic. The ATP website says he has a 68% service game point win rate, and 42% r... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Try to notice yourself getting angry or irritated and take a moment in between points to recoup. Try not to focus on winning the point or the match, but on fighting for each point. Remind yourself what has happened has happened, but you still have the current point. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

It truly depends on the type of ball that they are hitting and the way it moves after the bounce. Their ability to hit targets is also factored in. Racket head speed (+strings and racket) factors into two things: spin and ball speed. Most of the time it's just having them focus on more spin than hitting through the bal... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
It's not really anything to do with mechanics. But probably the most important thing I tell people on serve is to take their time. It's the one shot in tennis you have nearly complete control over.
