Player wingeing
Player – “Oh my legs are hurting now”, says the player to his mum on the side of the court who had won the first 3 games in the match to now find himself 5-3 down in the first set.
Coach – “Funny how the war wounds and excuses come out when a player starts to lose rather than accepting your opponent has just outplayed you in the last 5 games and loosing focus on getting back into the game by playing some more solid tennis as he did in the first few games when perhaps changing his game plan to try to be more consist could have been the answer rather than focussing on a little niggle!!!!”
