Just as one is born a musician

A naturally tomperamental per- son is always fighting against him- self. There are some people who go on to the court as if nothing

them-wrong worries

decisions, bad bounces, or tiresome ball-boya. There are others who if they have a wrong decision are quite put off for the rest of the game.

I know it is heartbreaking at the critical point of a match to have a wrong decision, but umpires and linesmen are only human, and it is very kind of anyone to sit for hours in the cold or heat and watch a ball go to and fro. If you have a bad decision at the critical moment, try to forget all about it, and win the next point. If one thinks about It, the concentration on the game will be lost and probably the match.

I always feel so sorry for those players who get frightful nerves when they have to play in front of

I know the feeling so well-often on these occasions I have longed for the ground to open and swallow me up as every ball I hit sails over the stop-netting-that is the way "nerves" affect me,
