The second set was a perfect of example of how I choke whenever I'm leading but whenever I'm just about to lose I always do the opposite and play my best.

You are not a better tennis player than me skill wise, I simply have failed due to fitness and my severe mental lapses that happen whenever I'm leading.

What's funny? It's the absolute truth. We all know tennis is a mental game and that is what is hurting me so much... I get so many opportunities and then choke. |

At the recreational level, technique usually means **** all anyway - it's just about holding your nerve and keeping the error count down. |

Of course, I'll have to use whatever crappy spare racquet you give me so at least there's something to blame if I lose.  |

Indeed I was assuming you would at least have an old one. I'm not bringing mine the whole way across the world if I might play once so we'll have to get hold of one somehow.  |
