Tennis took most of the attention of Belarusian fans last week. “Chizhovka Arena” and the filled stands have already seen many bright matches and victories, and we have also seen tears after defeat. The meeting between Belarus and Slovakia is a playoff match for the right to remain in the World Group of the Fed Cup. And he will also go down in the history of Belarusian tennis. The Matchball section pays attention to this sport today. All last weekend we admired the performance of the Belarusian women's tennis team. All fans of Belarusian sports remember the brilliant performance of our tennis players in the Fed Cup final. Unfortunately, in February 2018, Sasnovich, Sabalenka and the company were unable to reach the second round, but in the games against Slovakia we retained our places in the elite. This was the climax of the confrontation between Belarus and Slovakia. The girls played until the doubles match; the score at that time was 2:2 after four matches. And Vera Lapko and Lydia Morozova bring our team victory. But that was after. The uniqueness of the Federation Cup tennis is in tradition and in the fact that the world ranking does not matter much. At the beginning of the week, tennis players arrive in the country that is hosting the matches to undergo acclimatization - it is known that tournaments are held all over the world. Belarusians have an advantage on home courts. But our athletes have only just competed on clay, and here there is a surface called “hard”. Afterwards there are official press conferences, where our team looks very confident. And then - the draw. But several times the captain of the Slovak national team will make a change in the lineup before the game itself - this right is given by the tournament regulations. As a result, on the first day, Alexandra Sasnovich will play with Yana Chepelova and win. But Arina Sabalenka will lose to Victoria Kuzhmova in a tense match. At the end of the day - 1:1. The intrigue remains until the next matches. Already in the morning of the next day, training at the Chizhovka Arena. This time Arina will come out first. Her desire to win was very great, but in one evening some mistakes had to be corrected. Arina wins in two sets. The advantage of our team's number one was significant. And he comes to the press conference in a great mood. And at that moment Alexandra Sasnovich starts her game unsuccessfully. The Belarusian's opponent is undoubtedly showing her best tennis. And Sasha loses as a result. And here's the most important point confrontation between Belarus and Slovakia. 2:2 - based on the results of four matches, and there is a doubles match ahead. This time, team captain Tatyana Puchek is fielding a pair that was announced. Both Vera Lapko and Lidiya Morozova have experience performing in duets, but they are absent from the match for the Belarusian national team. Nevertheless, the Belarusians are winning. Our team maintains its place in the top 8 of women's world tennis. That is, next year the team will become even stronger and take a step forward. Let us remind you that we have already competed in the Fed Cup finals.

The rules of tennis are quite simple. You can figure them out on your own by watching a few matches. The appearance of complexity of tennis rules is created by the at first glance incomprehensible keeping of scores in games and specific tennis terms that can be heard from television commentators.

One such term is “matchball”. This concept itself can cause bewilderment in an uninitiated person, and the use of this term with the words “double”, “triple” or “hidden” is completely baffling.

It's actually quite simple. A match ball is a serve that could be the last in the match. However, this does not mean that a rally that begins with such a serve will necessarily be the last. Even inexperienced tennis players can win back more than one match point in a match and ultimately win the entire match. By the way, this is what distinguishes tennis from other sports in which the duration of the match is strictly regulated. An experienced player has the opportunity to win even from a score of 1:5. This is why in tennis you have to fight to the end. You can relax only after the referee announces the end of the match.

A double match point assumes that the tennis player leading the score has a two-point advantage (i.e. the score in the game should be 40/15 or 15/40) and any of the serves can be the last.

It’s easy to guess that a triple match point is a similar situation, only with an advantage of 3 points (the game score is 40/0 or 0/40).

It is somewhat more difficult to understand what a “hidden match point” is. Speaking in simple language, this term refers to a situation when a tennis player takes the opponent’s serve (makes a break) and gets the opportunity to serve for the match (i.e. the next game may be the last in the match).

Sometimes there may be a double or triple hidden match point in a match, but such terms are used extremely rarely.

Komon! (Come on!)

What does the exclamation “Come on!” mean? Why do tennis players sometimes shout “Komon!” during the match? How to understand the expression...

Matchball is a situation in a score game in tennis when a player only needs to win the upcoming rally (that is, one point) in order to win the entire match. For example, with a score of 6-3, 5-3 and 40:30 in a three-set match. After winning a point, the score will become 6-3, 6-3 and the match will end.

Double match point - a situation when a player has a match point, but if he loses this point, he has another one. For example, with the score 6-3, 5-3, 40:15 in a three-set match. A triple match point will be in the same situation if the score is 40:0. If the points score is 6:0 in the tiebreaker (played to seven points won) in the deciding set, then this is a six-time match point. More can only be in a match tiebreaker or in games with a handicap (for example, plus 30 / minus 30 in each game).

If it is said that a player won a match point, this means that he won a point in a situation where his opponent had a match point. Played back five match points - did this five times during the match (this could be either five single match points, or, for example, double plus triple).

In amateur tennis, the average number of realized match points (that is, points won by a player with a match point) is on average noticeably less than 50%. That is, someone who has a match point wins this point less often than his opponent. This is obviously explained by the fact that a player who has a match point cannot always force himself to play at full strength (if he is very tired at the end of the match, this can be a very difficult task) and push away the thought that the match has actually already been won. The loser in this situation has no other choice but to play with full dedication.

If a player has a low percentage of match points won (notably less than 50%), this most likely means that he tends to give up matches in situations where he believes that the opponent is stronger today, that is, he stops fighting at the end of such games. If he is tall, then he fights to the end regardless of the score. In tennis, this works more often than someone unversed in the game might think, as many players relax while leading the score.

If a player has a low percentage of match points won, this most likely means that he tends to relax when he is leading. If it is high, then this best characterizes the player in terms of psychological preparedness and mood for matches. Supporters" arithmetic tennis"could object to such an assessment, but last years this theory has fewer and fewer adherents.
