Share this article

Keeping your cool when facing break points. This week's episode of Inspired by is all about the psychology of tennis, looking at how players like Cam Norrie and Jodie Burrage approach pressure moments in matches.

Every episode, we join our team of LTA expert analysts and coaches to break down the pros performances at our summer tournaments and give you tips on how to apply their skills to your game.

Presenter Kate Mason is joined by expert coach Matt James and for the first time, by LTA lead psychologist Matt Thompson to analyse how the pros set up to defend break points. They'll talk you through exactly what is going through the players mind and give you tips and advice for clearing your thoughts and playing to your strengths in the big moments.

Then Kate and Matt will put this into practice, using the methods discussed in part one to change and adapt the approach into a real match scenario.
