There are 4 weeks left before the start, but your game is already falling apart on the scoreboard: double faults, rushing on important points, and legs fading by the end of the set. Below is a practical plan to help you approach a tennis tournament in a more focused way: technique, fitness, and match habits.
Week 1: Diagnosis and Stability
Goal: understand where you are losing points and remove unnecessary mistakes.
2 training sessions: serve + return; 10–15 minutes focused only on the second serve.
1 match / 1 set: note the reasons for mistakes (serve, return, baseline).
2 general fitness sessions: legs, core, short accelerations.
If children are playing lawn tennis
The focus should not be on “winning at any cost,” but on routines: the same preparation before every serve, breathing before each rally.

Rule: on important points, play more safely — higher over the net and deeper, without risky shots down the line.
