The subject of match play is to win, but not the credit goes to a man who did not win completely. A victory is a defeat if it is anything but fair. Again I say to win is the subject, and do you have to play to the last ounce of strength, the last gasp of his breath, and the last bit of his composure. If you do this and lose, the best won. If you do not, you have robbed your opponent of his right to beat your best. Be fair to him and you.

Play something and the game will be played a big loss is much more credible than an empty victory. Play a game of tennis. Repeat men meet; make friends, and a pleasure to provide the public with hard work yet sporting game that is due them for their presence in the match. Many tennis players are familiar with any of the debt, and to grant worth playing. I believe that when the government honors the player to match the player is obliged to give their best, freely, voluntarily and cheerfully, because the only way to restore the honor of paying him. Tennis Star today owes his public as much as the actor has to the public, and only meets their obligations to maintain public support for the courts. Players are paid by the personal popularity they receive for their conscientious work.

There is another factor that is even stronger than that, there will always produce fine tennis in championship events. It is the spirit of competition that is the breath of life for all true sports: the desire to prove he can beat the best of the other man, the real regret that comes when he wins, and feels losing is not his best. The spirit that stimulates a strong competitive player game also increases the nervous tension. This should be recognized by tournament committees, and the playing conditions should be as nearly standardized as weather permits. The first thing stuck in your mind to play a game, is to never allow your opponent to play a shot he likes if he can force him to make one, it does not work. Study your opponent both on and off the field. Look for a weakness, and when found, it delivers no mercy. Remember that you can not decide your mode of attack.

Remember that the strongest defense is attack, because if the other guy is busy meeting the attack that has less time to develop its own system. If you are playing a very steady man, not trying to beat him at his own game. He does best, and you very often, so go and win the game. On the other hand, if you find that your opponent is wild and prone to lose a game and have a safe full crop of his errors. It will save you trouble and takes his confidence.

Take That When We Were Young
