What fatigue does

High fatigue lowers speed, accuracy and composure, and raises the risk of in-match injury.

A smart weekly cycle

After a busy week choose light training or rest. A physio on your team speeds recovery.

During matches

Energy-saving tactics and shorter points help in long matches. Watch the energy bar and body load.

Frequently asked questions

How many events in a row is too many?

Three in a row is usually risky. Follow it with at least a week of recovery.

Does this work in every career?

Not in exactly the same way. Playing style, age, surface preference, fitness and the current ranking can change which choice is best.

How long should I test the idea?

Use several weeks or a small tournament block so that one unusually good or bad match does not decide the conclusion.
