Tip:
As we all know, concentration plays a huge role in tennis. Lack of it leads to poor performance and bad losses. Concentration does not only imply channeling one’s mental focus but also the ability to control one’s emotions such as nervousness, anger, fear and so on.
Concentration is a player’s ability to control the direction and attention of his thoughts and focus on the primary task at hand. It involves narrowing one’s focus to his shots and other technical skills, tactical decisions as well as the ability to block out any surrounding distractions for an extended period of time, such as a long match or rally.
