This is one of the most frustrating feelings in tennis. You feel mentally locked in. Your strategy is clear. But when you go to execute, your shots betray you. The forehand flies long, the volley finds the net. Your body just isn't doing what your brain is telling it to do.
It feels like a disconnect between focus and form.
