		<description>Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme  at here.  There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program.  It reminds of  ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases  one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs. 
I don&#039;t have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks. 
Right now, I&#039;m very close at catching at last a guaranteed  variant to make a sharp rise .  Turn to my web site to get additional info.

		<description>This is such a great observation and I couldn&#039;t be more pleased to read your comments.

I remember way back when another player telling me that in singles (and this also really applies in dubs), there are times when you&#039;ve simply just got to make that opponent play.

You have to allow your opponent to feel the pressure by having to make that volley, ot 1/2 volley, or groundies, whatever, but you have to give them the chance to feel the pressure.

Especially if they&#039;re facing break point.  I see this way too often, and I&#039;m guilty myself more than I liked to be, but when we get up break point against the server, we tend to want to really rub it in and go for the glory.  And what happens most of the time?  Another unforced error on our return of serve.

Make them play...

As you may know, I&#039;ve put together a series on the fundamentals of the strokes that I believe are common to all strokes.  

That series focuses more on stroke &amp; footwork mechanics, but another set of fundamentals that needs to be added are the strategies that are common to all strokes.  

One of them is that it&#039;s OK to stay in the point.  You don&#039;t have to be thinking that every shot has to be hit so well that it&#039;s going to be a winner.  With this thread we&#039;re talking about here with the return of serve, the common theme is that we&#039;re trying to be consistent, meaning that we&#039;re not going for winners, but in fact hitting shots where the chances go way up that are opponent will be able to get to our shot.

That in no way means that the chances go up that are opponent will have a set up to put away.  Just because my opponent can get to my shot doesn&#039;t give him/her/them any advantage.

If my shot is down at their feet and forces them to hit AND I&#039;ve improved my court position geometerically, guess what, I&#039;ve put pressure on them to play a shot that won&#039;t set me up.

Same applies for you.  There are times such as the return of serve where geometrically you just don&#039;t have that greatest court position, so whether it&#039;s singles or doubles, the value goes way up if you can consistently get your return of serve back in play and in such a way that it doesn&#039;t give that server a clear advantage.

Thanks again BGF for your great comments.

		<description>I think most of the principles you point out for doubles return are readily applicable to singles, too. The desire to hit a winner in singles is perhaps more enticing because it&#039;s only you out there. But I have learned more from playing doubles and applying it to singles than the other way around. The tips you bring re: consistency are critical to 3.0 players like me who face a variety of skill levels and ages in that band (up to 3.5). So being consistent esp. with service return is a key ingredient to staying in the point let alone winning it! Thanks.</description>
