Re the talk about Lee Westwood ‘almost’ winning a major in the Masters last Sunday, The Daily Telegraph have a few interesting points. Although, I will never agree with the way the media BASH our sportsmen constantly and NEVER give praise, they do give a great ‘backhanded compliment to Andy Murray, here’s some of the text:

” Lee Westwood will never be a genius like Seve Ballesteros, Tiger Woods, Mickelson or even big John Daly. Westwood will find his major buried in the ground. He just has to go out there and dig a little deeper. People used to view Ben Hogan as a mystical prophet from a far-off land. Once he said: “The secret is in the dirt.” That is where Nick Faldo found his six majors and that is where Westwood will find the final answer. It is out there in the dirt of the practice range. Each time Andy Murray gets close to a major title he goes away and increases his workload. Murray finished second in Australia, Westwood finished second in the Masters. While a few more people give up on them, they go away and work a little harder.

This is ALL that’s WRONG with british sport, instead of supporting our sportsmen and women, the Britsh media knock them when they’re down.

For those who are either new at the game of tennis, or only play periodically, a power racquets is best.

Like its women’s counterpart, men’s tennis apparel is becoming more colorful, shorter, tighter, and smaller; and is covering less and revealing much more, leaving little to the imagination.
Until 1946, men’s tennis team apparel was smart active wear that consisted of a shirt, sweater-vest or cardigan, and full-length flannel pants. Running around the tennis court wearing hot full-length flannel pants would certainly be frowned upon by today’s athletes. The beginning of today’s trend in comfortable men’s tennis apparel may be attributed to Bunny Austin who, in 1933, was the first top-ranked player to make a bold statement in men’s tennis apparel by wearing shorts.

The purpose of tennis is to send the ball over the net to land within the boundaries of the opposite court in such a way that the opponent will have difficulty returning it. Ninety percent of tennis points are won on errors, i.e., balls hit into the net or out of court. A beginner must have faith that “good form” will pay dividends, once he gains control of his shots. A good-form stroke sends the ball more swiftly and accurately to spots on the court where the opponent will have the most difficulty in returning it. Fig. 1 shows the placement-shot areas.

Beginners are warned that they must be content with a goal of “getting the ball over the net” and not expect to hit placement areas very often. Likewise the beginner will dwell in “Dubland” more often than he wants to. He must practise patiently, first to conquer the net and boundary lines so that his balls land somewhere within the court. Later he will learn to control his shots and the placement areas shown in the diagram will become his point of aim. Although many of his shots will miss the target, it is better to try for them during practise than to be content with “Dubland” shots. It takes time to achieve tennis placement shots just as in the case of a 200-yard golf drive or bowling strike.

Without proper mental toughness conditioning a tennis player can go either way in any game depending on how they feel any given day. Playing without the discipline of mental toughness can cause players to crack under pressure and give up games they otherwise could win.
