to improve her mental strength?
It is quite obvious that Marta still lacks the experience and the mental strength of a top player. Quite simply, she played like a top 20 player at IW but mentally, she's still not in it...... To have 2 match points against a great player like Coetzer and to lose the match eventually is mentally quite damaging....
I think Marta needs to believe that she can do it. She's had matches like this last year where she's leading by a set, has match points and eventually loses the match. Eventually, this mentality has to stop. She needs to start thinking positive and knowing that she CAN compete with the top players.
I know she can make it to at least top 20, possibly top 10. But in order to get to these positions, she needs to improve mentally. The way she collapsed after being unable to close out the match against Coetzer is something that has happenned before and might happen again if the problem isn't rectified....
Anyone got any othe suggestions cause' I'm quite worried that if this lack of mental strength continues, she might never play to her full potential.....:sad:
Meanwhile, Vamos Marta!! Hopefully, she can put this loss away from her mind and concentrate on NASDAQ,.....
VAMOS!!!:hearts:
