OMMON ENOUGH ADVICE TO THE NEW TENNIS PLAY- ER IS "ALWAYS ENDEAVOUR TO PLAY WITH BET- TER PLAYERS THAN YOURSELF." ASSUREDLY, IF YOU ARE THE BEST PLAYER IN EVERY SET YOU PLAY YOU HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF IMPROVING YOUR GAME; BUT THERE IS A LIMIT TO THIS IT WILL NOT IMROVE THE GAME OF AN AVERAGE CLUB PLAYER TO HAVE A SET AGAINST F.

Content yourself with carefully watching those who are a lot better; study their strokes; observe how they "play to the score" a much neglected art by the inexperienced-and concen- trate on their footwork. Footwork is the foundation of sound tennis!
Do not refuse to play with players below your own standard, but under no circumstances "food" on the court. By far the best plan, if at all possible, is to have three or four hard sets, one after the other, and then stop.
