“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” Benjamin Disraeli
In every set, in every match, there is at least one moment in which either side can win. The team that seizes that moment is the team that wins. Often neither team seizes the moment and the game meanders along until the next moment arrives. Often one team has only one moment, and once it is gone, it is gone. In that case, it is often the team either not recognising the moment or not being prepared to take advantage of it.
The secret of success is simple… prepare, prepare, prepare and recognise the moment when it arrives.
