idea. The umpire could add to the above announcement, "First set,
Parke, 6-3." This latter announcement is unnecessary when there
is a score board that gives full details of the match.

Tournament committees should see that all courts have sufficient
room behind the baseline and at the sides to insure a player
against running into the stops.

Galleries should strive to retain their appreciation and
enthusiasm until a point is completed, since noise is very
disconcerting to a player. However, all players enjoy an
enthusiastic gallery.

The players themselves must now be considered in relation to the
reaction of the match.

The first thing to fix firmly in your mind in playing a match, is
never to allow your opponent to play a shot he likes if it is
possible to force him to make one he does not. Study your
opponent both on and off the court. Look for a weakness, and,
once finding it, pound it without mercy. Remember that you do not
decide your mode of attack. It is decided for you by the weakness
of your opponent. If he dislikes to meet a netman, go to the net.
If he wants you at the net, stay back and force him to come in.
If he attacks viciously, meet his attack with an equally strong
offensive.

Remember that the strongest defence is to attack, for if the
other man is occupied in meeting your attack, he will have less
time to formulate his own system.
