Today, I am playing another practice match. This is another adult, but he is more of a typical player. I will stay focused and fight for every point. He is a very streaky player, so I should be prepared for this. He might play incredibly well for a few games, but his level will eventually drop back down and I will be able to take control. I will remind myself of this when I am feeling like he is crushing me. He will always let up eventually.
