Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 8:35 pm Post subject: Dealing with Cheating
Today, I was playing a match for my school. I was playing extremely well, and I hit like 10 aces in the first six games to go up 5-1 (it was a proset, so first to eight). Then, I fired two aces within two points, and they were both called out. So I basically screamed at the person, and my game went down. I even threw my racquet at one point. Although I eventually won 8-6, those two instances of cheating threw me off.
Does anyone know of any effective techniques of dealing with such cases (without asking someone to be an umpire, because that's impossible in school matches)? _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
call the umpire for hawk eye no just kidding. i try to block it out and tell myself it was a close call and anyone could have called it in or out. and move on. forget about!!!! if you can teach yourself that then it shouldn't be a problem _________________
I tried, but I just couldn't get it out of my head that the kid called a shots which landed inside the line out simply because I was whipping his ***. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

there's two ways you can handle it. one, cheat back. teach him what he is doing and make it VERY clear that you are doing this because he is. Second is to move on and/or don't aim so close to the lines....
That's just unfair, but J-man was right, are u older than this kid? _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"

No, I think he was older than me by a few months, actually. After his cheating, I started playing bad. I had an easy overhead which I hit on the frame and the ball just flew. Then, I spiked my racquet. It's one of the few times I have had an outburst like that. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
i had the same problem, only at a much lower level. I was playing doubles with my partner and our opponents were calling every line shot out, i got so angry i almost spiked my racquet, but my partner let actions speak louder than words and he told me to call their line shots out if their cheating progressed _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"

Yes, but I don't really feel comfortable doing what my opponent is doing dishonestly. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
xdoublea I am not saying to go a cheat like your opponent, just channel your anger for good and start hitting more winners. I guarantee this will make your opponent even more increasingly frustrated where they will make more errors. And all I do is walk around the court with a big smile on my face.
Unfortunately, though, I'm the type that loses focus and quality of play the angrier I get. I usually don't get angry; I usually keep my calm very nicely. However, when I get angry, I start to rush.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
in my thread about the new racquet, my anger played a big part in me buying a much lower powered racquet. i have the same problem as you do, but instead of rushing i try to get more stuff in by hitting it a lot harder and faster, resulting in a lot more shots going long _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"
