Episode 11  Shitty Wonky ScrappyYou know the match. Nothing has pace. Nothing is predictable. Balls are floating, spinning, barely clearing the net… and even if you win- it doesn’t feel you won BIG enough?? Welcome to shitty, wonky, scrappy tennis — where rhythm goes to die and your beautiful game completely falls apart.In this episode, Kim and Jane tackle one of the most frustrating (and common) challenges in ladies league tennis: playing against opponents who have very unconventional shots, and what feels like accidental winners. They break down why these matches feel so hard, how your mindset can spiral fast, and what you need to do to stay steady when everything feels off. From tactical adjustments to mental resets, this episode will help you stop overhitting, stay patient, and win ugly when you need to.👑 What We’re Talking AboutWhy “wonky” tennis throws off even strong playersThe frustration of playing opponents with no pace or rhythmHow your mindset can unravel fast in these matchesWhy trying to “hit through it” usually backfiresAdjusting your strategy when nothing feels normalThe power of patience (even when you don’t want to be patient 😅)How to stay disciplined instead of spiralingWhy practicing against lower-level or scrappy players actually helpsLearning to win matches that don’t look prettyControlling what you can control when the match feels chaoticFollow our Insta Accounts: League Queens Podcast: Teamforman TennisRallies & RacketsShop Cute Tennis Gifts:Rallies & RacketsUSE CODE Leaguequeens15 for 15% off our newCITY COLLECTION!
