Constraint sets
Success target: Two completed constraint sets, win or lose.
How to run it
- 01Play a normal set with one constraint for your pair: for example, every point you win must include a lob, or you may only finish points at the net.
- 02The constraint applies to you, not the opponents — they play free.
- 03Pick the constraint from your weakest test dimension.
- 04Play 2 sets with different constraints.
Why it works
Constraints smuggle deliberate practice into real matches — you get match pressure and repetition of your weakness at the same time.
