Is Junior Tennis Too Much Stress?

Recently more and more parents have been pulling their kids out of tournaments. The reason for this is because they believe it is too much stress for them.

The Williams sisters weren't aloud to play junior tournaments for their whole childhood but Serena still turned up to be the best womens' tennis player of all time. Was that because she didn't play junior tournaments or is it just coincidence. Besides, your success in junior tournaments has nothing to do with whether you're even going to be on the pro tour or how good you're going to be, it's more to have a Gage of where your skill level is. UCLA researchers conducted a study to see how stressful youth sports really are. They gave athletes from ages 9 to 14 questionnaires to fill out and it turns out sports are less stressful then music recitals and solos, wrestling was the only sport more stressful. In fact, sports were found to be less stressful than regular school tests. So there really isn't a reason to be pulling out your child from tournaments, they're fun and good for learning. You might want to pull your children out if they don't like it or if they're hot heads you might want to. Federer was also banned from tournaments for a little while and he's the bets men's tennis player ever. I believe that is because when you play tournaments you don't have the guidance of your coach and you end up cutting corners on technique and end up developing bad habits and it ends up setting you back from the technical side. On the other hand, you won't get the development of mental edge if you don't play tournaments, but that is fine if your kids don't have any plans t take tennis further than for fun.

Zverev, Boss Or Bust?

Z verev has had an amazing run in his dream 2017 season and was showing no signs of stopping ahead of this year’s US Open. Last night something unpredictable happened. He lost to his fellow next gen contender, the Croatian Borna Coric 6-3, 5-7, 6-7, 6-7. Zverev at the 2015 US Open Zverev started off his year with an impressive run to the round of 32 in the Australian Open until he got shut down by Nadal 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Later he exited a tournament due to Kyrgios on 2 straight occasions. Which was then followed up by another defeat to Nadal in the round of 16 in Monte-Carlo. 8 days before his first round match he beat Raonic and Djokovic to get his first Masters title. Following that achievement he suffered a first round exit to Verdasco in 4 sets, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6. Maybe his curse is real! A little later, he reached a round of 16 match. Then he fell to Milos Raonic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1. I’m sure he and the majority of his fans hoped and believed he could’ve do

What Was key In Zverev's Triumph Over Federer And How Can You Use It?

Zverev managed to stop Federer from tying for second most titles in the Open Era, looks like most grand slams, most ATP Final events, most masters 1000 event finals, most 500 tournaments, most 250 tournament finals and most match wins is enough. Zverev is definitely happy for his second masters' event and for the check that says $894,585. There is no doubt that Zverev dominated in most aspects of the game. , but which of those stats were the most key? For starters Zverev’s serve was way more effective than Federer’s serve in every way possible average serve speed, 1st serve in %, 1st serve and second serve points won and double faults. Now, one of the biggest reasons for any win lies in there, but which one. The answer is 2nd serve points won, yes the mere three percent may have won Zverev the match (Zverev 61%, Federer 58%.) My theory is that if that stat is significantly under 50% you’re already 50% closer to losing that match. Another very important statistic lying in
