“I should not try hitting winners or any flashy shots. I can comfortably win this match if I am able to stick to this gameplan.”

Today, I am playing a practice match with one of my friends. I was up late doing homework and I feel very tired. I want to make sure to play this match intelligently. My opponent has a huge serve and can hit big shots but is inconsistent. I have to play high and heavy up to his backhand to win the match. I should not try hitting winners or any flashy shots. I can comfortably win this match if I am able to stick to this gameplan.
