Looking back during my tennis career, I remember those days, when it was 6:4 5:4 and 40:15 on my serve. With the next point, I could take home the victory and advance to the next round of the tournament. On paper this seemed very easy (just one more point); but, my heart during these situations was racing, while my anxiety level increased dramatically. Many times my anxiety got the best of me and instead of leaving the tennis court with a victory, I had to shake hands with my opponent and congratulate him.
These situations are part of the learning curve for every tennis player. Most of us probably have been in a similar situation like it. Especially when losing, I was hoping to compete in another match on the same or, latest, the next day. Unfortunately, many times the tournament experience was over, and I had to wait until the next tournament was scheduled to make up for this heartbreaking loss.
