You're up 5-2 and serving for the match. Suddenly, as if you've awakened from a bad dream, your lead is gone and you're struggling to force a tiebreaker at 5-6. It's happened to us all at one time or another. Here is a way to help keep your lead from slipping away:
The trick to sustaining a lead is to know how you got it. If your lead was the result of your opponent's unforced errors, the lead will vanish if the opponent stops losing. If the lead was gained by winning points and suddenly your opponent begins to play better, your lead could also vanish.
Always pay attention to the underlying tactics that create your lead. You should expect your opponent to change a losing game. For example, if you're proving yourself to be a stronger player, expect them to back off the pace and try to out-consist you. If they do this at 5-2 and you don't see the tactics change, you could be very disappointed with your results.
Pay attention to where your lead came from and expect your opponents to change their losing game. Have a plan for when they do.
