Playing a strong opponent

Strategy

Kiran Ponnaluri Asked 14 years ago

Hello,

I have taken a look at the Mental Preparation section and it contains many nice questions well answered.Thanks.

Can you please give me tips/inputs/strategy on how the game should be approached in a tournament when I am playing a stronger/experienced opponent?

The usual story has been that I can try and get up to 7-8 points out of 11 in a set. Also I have sometimes noticed that I tend to play more cautiously to avoid unforced errors.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kiran
