78. The shot was so easy that I lost my focus.

Sometimes in life, what seems like the easiest of tasks can actually be quite difficult. This is true whether you’re taking part in a routine task, or if you’re on the tennis court. The next time you have a sitter overhead that you butcher like a pork chop, it can be quite embarrassing. But before your cheeks get redder than your Christmas lights, simply explain it by saying, “I blew that shot because I lost my focus. It was just too easy.”

79. I was so much better than my opponent that I was overconfident.

It sounds like a line out of Star Wars, but just as a Jedi Knight might tell his apprentice, “Your overconfidence is your downfall,” the same can be said in tennis. You have to take every opponent seriously. But what happens when you are clearly the better player, and you just know you are going to win . . . until you lose, that is? In a case such as this, you can simply say, “I was like young Skywalker. My overconfidence did me in.”
