Student: What would you do if you were being crushed in a big match like Yapp was at the US OPEN? I mean it was totally one-sided.
Chip: When I’ve been down in a match where my opponent is running out, locking me up and running out, I decide to change the game.
I say ok, I’m going to make everything difficult. Rather than kicking and hoping, I start to tie balls up. I complicate the rack anyway I can.
You have to find a way to stop the bleeding. Even if he gives me an option to run out, I may play position to lock him up. I want him tasting his own medicine. You frustrated me, now you have fun kicking! I really believe small amounts of emotion can help you survive matches like this. Best luck!
