Controlling the Point

Sometimes, I have to mix it up. I just can't play the same point over and over. I try and change the pace of the ball. I hit with more topspin and then throw in a slice. I move the ball around. I try and maneuver the ball, becoming more cerebral in play. I think through my points before they happen. It can be done. I move the ball around. I move my feet. I see my movements before they actually occur. And then I put the ball away, an overhead smash, well hit and out of my opponents reach. Sometimes, I mix it up, changing my positions and tactics. Never becoming complacent, focusing on a high level of execution. Sometimes, I hit the ball into the net, anyway.
