A lot of things in tennis depend on perspective.
One player sees pressure. Another sees opportunity.
One player focuses on everything that can go wrong. Another focuses on the one thing that needs to be done right.
This is especially important on the serve. The serve is the only shot in tennis that is completely under your control. It is the only moment when you have the opportunity to fully prepare before the action begins.
That is why it is crucial to use that time focusing on what matters, rather than on the score, the consequences of missing, the opponent, or everything that could go wrong. The mind can only focus on so many things at once, and the direction of that focus often determines the quality of the outcome.
The situation is often the same. The difference is where attention goes.
What you focus on tends to grow.
