Would you get a massage before a big tennis match?
I have a 3.5 Singles Semi-final match on Sunday, that I want to do well in (win). I played my opponent before, a month ago, in a fairly close match where I lost 4-6 6-0 6-7. I plan on getting a tuneup private lesson on Saturday morning to help me get ready. My back feels a little tense, though, and I was wondering if any tennis players get massages before their big matches? Any other tips to help me do my best? Thanks for your help! Wish me luck!
If you feel like its necessary. It does help you get loose, but I’m guessing that this isn’t going to be some grueling 5 setter. Usually when I’m getting ready for a big game later on in the day, I go for a run and maybe hit a little bit in the morning, get in a ice bath for about 15min, then take a hot shower.
It will help you more to get prepared mentally, than to go get a massage for your body. Come up with a plan of attack, what are you going to do differently than last time? Why did you lose last time? The mental game is huge.
Anyways, Good Luck.
