Concentration:
Do not consider tennis a game of racquet only, your ability to perform in this game is also determined by the ability of your mind. You cannot give your best on the court if your mind is not at one place. There can be many reasons for your mind to wander away while playing; primary reason for this can be indifference to tennis and not enough motivation to do better. If you are not interested in playing tennis in long-term, then naturally your mind or you will not have the required amount of concentration during the game. Till the time you do not have great concentration, you can very easily get upset and distracted by the crowd behavior and the noise they make, more so if they are hostile or supporting your competitor. Also, the highly experienced and best sportsmen go through such dreadful experiences particularly while playing under different surroundings and conditions. In such testing times only a determined and well-disciplined mind can come out as a winner.
Always keep in mind, that points result in winning a game, which results in winning a set and finally it's the number of total sets you win determine the outcome of a match. However, you cannot earn a point till the point you give your best in each shot you play. When you have decided to win a match, put your mind into one place and concentrate completely on your shots. Try and put everything aside; and if you play your strokes properly, the match will take care of itself.
