Players play a set where the server always starts at 30:40.
Variations:
- Play no-ad
- The server has only the second serve
Benefits:
- Players will inevitably win some of the games when they are
30:40 down and this will start building their confidence. When
they experience this situation in the match they'll know that
they can win from there. They won't panic or surrender before
the point even starts.
- The returner will realize that it's not the best tactic to play
passively. Unless of course he plays with a very scared opponent
who chokes under pressure. But hopefully eventually the scared
player will realize that this approach doesn’t lead anywhere (coach’s
suggestion helps) and will change his game. That's when the returner
will have to step up again.
