In practice games it is not matter of great moment, whether you win or last is therefore much better to de vete your whole attention to good atrok production rather than to concentrate the result of the match.

Always make a point of trying to win your service game. The, possession of the -service is in itself a great advantage, and ode that should be conserved if possible at all costs. Naturally your opponent has the same advantage when he is serving, And therefore, if the match is likely to be a close one, the winner will be the player who contrives to lose the least number of service games.
Playing to the score is one of the most important points in match play. When ever you are within one point either of winning or losing a game, play an care- fully as possible, and wait patiently for a chance of winning the rally. This is where you powers of endurance will be tested to the utmost.
TAKING CHANCEH.
If, on the other hand, you are well be- hind your opponent with a senre of 0-40 against you, you are in a position to justify your taking a chance. Play your stroke, play "it well, and hit hard. If it succeeds, then play it again. You will find that your success, the result of your willingness to take a risk, has invigor ated you and given you fresh confidence in yourself.
If you are lucky enough to reach the scure of 30-40 resort to careful play, and styla stone-walling persist in this. ustil a really good opening occurs for you to smash your winning stroke past. your opponent.
.
"Above all things you must use your head if you aspire to be a successful matele player. You must cultivate the habit of making quick decisions before you play your strokes. decisions which enn ever be changed in the time it takes the ball to traverse the length of the court, literally in the twinkling of an eye; for, frequent ly, your opponent betrays his intention by a slight change of position.
Play carefully the whole time, and son- centrate. Never allow your mind to wan der during the rally, for if you do you are almost certain to be caught unaware. Keep your attention steadily fixed on the ball until the end of the rally.
