Tennis psychology is only understanding the workings of your opponent’s mind, and gauging the effect of your own game on his/her head and also understanding the psychological effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind.

However, it is true that you cannot be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding your own mental processes. Therefore, you must study the effect on yourself of the same thing happening under different circumstances. This is because you react differently in different moods and under different circumstances.

You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting annoyance, pleasure, confusion, or whatever other form your reaction takes. Does it improve your efficiency? If so, go for it, but never offer it to your opponent. Does it rob you of concentration? If so, either remove the cause, or if that is not possible, try to ignore it.

Once you have correctly measured your own reaction to circumstances, study your opponents in order to decide their characters. Like characters react similarly, and you may judge men of your own type by yourself. Other temperaments you have to seek to liken with those whose reactions you already know.

A person who can regulate his/her own mental processes stands an excellent chance of reading those of someone else for the minds works along definite lines of thought and can be studied. One can only regulate one’s own thought processes after examining them very carefully .

The steady, unemotional baseline player is rarely a keen thinker. If he were, he would not stay on the baseline. The physical appearance of a player is usually a pretty clear indication of his/her kind of mind. The stolid, easy-going player, who normally displays the baseline strategy, does it because he does not want to stir up his/her slow mind to work out a reliably safe method of reaching the net.

Then there is the other type of baseline player, who would rather remain on the back of the court while directing an attack intended to break up your game. He is a very dangerous player, and a deep, keen thinking opponent. He achieves his/her results by mixing up his/her length and direction and worrying you with the variety of his/her game. He is a good psychologist.

The first type of tennis player mentioned above just strikes the ball without much idea of what he is really doing, while the latter always has a solid, thought-out strategy and sticks to it.
