One of the many definitions of insanity is that you do the same thing again and again but want a different outcome each time; this would also apply to playing tennis.

A rapid change of strategy is called for if you are in the middle of a tennis match and are losing by a hefty margin.

So why don't people change their style of play to give themselves a better chance? You know that what you are doing isn't working, so why stick to it?

A change of strategy should be included in your game plan, if something isn't working it's time to change it. There are players who you expect to lose to, changing tactics may surprise them and you end up the victor.

If you play from the baseline and are facing a player who plays as the net you need to play them at their own game and try to get to the net first.

This will confuse them as the net is their comfort zone and it should be them there, not you! Keeping them at the back of court makes then have to defend instead of attack.

Some tennis players aren't very good athletes, so you need to exploit this flaw in their game. Make them run and run until they just can't cope with it any more. Force them to quickly change direction and basically make their life miserable.

Your opponent literally won't know what's hit them when you play them at their own game. They will think they know your game and now you've caught them completely off guard and they are way out of their comfort zone.

Build these strategies into your game plan, so if things go wrong and you start to fall behind, you are mentally equipped to change your tactics without having to think about it.
