ADVANTAGE IN TENNIS
STRIVING FOR FIRST SET “li> a three-set malch,” ffli’s Mrs Godfreo, "the first act is the big advantage for> which; you should strive- In a, iivc-aet match two out of the first threo lie your primary endeavour. In any given set the most crucial games are usually the.fifth, sixth and seventh, because they consolidate or retrieve a substantial lead. When the score stands at 2 all those next three gayies give a lead of 5—2, which practically ensures the set. Should the score be 3—l the server must make every effort to advance to 4—l. The third point of the game is the most vita! because the winning of it may give or save a big lead in the game.”
