Serving During a Tie-Breaker
The other day my partner and I had clawed our way back from 4 games down in a set to get ourselves into a tie-breaker. My partner was serving during the tie-break at 8-9 (set point). He faulted on his first serve meaning that if the next serve didn't go in we would lose the set! How is that for pressure?
Long story short-- he got the serve in and we won the set 11-9. But the point of this is DON'T PUT YOURSELF (AND YOUR PARTNER) IN THAT POSITION. Get the FIRST SERVE IN for ALL THE BIG POINTS - and being down SET POINT is a pretty big point!
