Tennis isn’t a single sport. It’s actually two different games, depending on who’s playing. When professionals – like Nadal – take the court, tennis is a “Winner’s Game.” But when amateurs play, tennis becomes a “Loser’s Game.”
Simon Ramo explains the fine details in his book, Extraordinary Tennis for the Ordinary Player. His overall findings are incredibly simple…
When the professionals face off, the winner of the match determines the outcome. In amateur tennis, the loser determines the outcome.
You see, professionals tend to make fewer errors and hit more winners. Ramo found that professional tennis players tend to earn around 80% of the points. They only lose around 20% because of mistakes.
Amateur tennis is exactly the opposite… Ramo found amateurs tend to lose around 80% of their points. They only earn around 20%.
He used these simple ideas to develop a winning strategy for amateur tennis. Play conservatively. Keep the ball in play. Allow your opponent (who is almost surely an amateur) to make errors. He will.
Sure, he’ll make a great shot or two. But over the course of a match, he’ll try to beat you by winning. And he’ll fail. He has no idea that amateur tennis is a Loser’s Game. But his constant losing decisions will easily allow you to win the match.
Investing is a lot like amateur tennis. It’s a Loser’s Game…
