Great question. I think I used to get them more than I do now. The older you get, the less it matters. Winning or losing a tennis match is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things in my life now. So, in effect, I end up playing better and winning more now. :-)

Imma be honest here. For you, as a competitor attempting to reach the pro ranks. Hope they never go away. When they do, you're done or either your name is Mr. Federer.
This doesn't apply to you now, but
as for when you're an adult. A six pack or 2 of the rocky mountain dew does the trick pretty quickly ;)

I used to get really nervous but now I don't and I LOVE pressure...I eat it up when people are watching and cheering me on or going against me. I love it and I can't get enough of it.

I am only nervous if the wind is blowing and it might affect my toss or something like that my opponents dont make me Nervous at all

Sounds like you are like me and think too much. If you don't think a lot on court, it's amazing what your body will instinctively do.

Only nervous when i am not familiar with the opponent. Usually goes away in a few games after seeing how they play.

ALL THE TIME! Im a nervous wreck! i cant stand or sit still b4 a match...even if it's a "practice set", i still get jittery....usually it goes away after a couple of points but sometimes it'll last the entire first game!...i remember my first singles match back in over 3 years, i was nervous the ENTIRE first set...i got tired not from the tennis but from the nerves lol...good times...good times!
