Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.
Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
Tennis is all about mental toughness, and you have to keep your head in the game. I make time to relax away from competition pressures, travel and intense training schedules to make sure I'm looking after myself. Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.
Tennis is a big puzzle. It's not any more physical or mental; you have to have all the pieces first, and then you have to put all the pieces together. For me, it took me time.
Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.
Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.
You don't just have to be skilled and talented at tennis, but you have to be so physically strong.
To be a tennis champion, you have to be inflexible. You have to be stubborn. You have to be arrogant. You have to be selfish and self-absorbed. Kind of tunnel vision almost.
Tennis is basically a game where you try to create an opportunity for yourself to finish the point, because you can't wait for the opponent to miss anymore. Well, if you create an opportunity and don't take advantage of it, you let the opponent back to even, then you are just starting the point over, so you have to take advantage of them.
I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.
