I played this kid yesterday (high school varsity tennis) and got absolutely sheeee-lacked (6-2, 6-0) by him. He has a really slow but consistent serve with the slightest bit of slice, and he usually sends back floaty drop shots. My lobbing is awful, so when he comes to the net I was generally screwed. I managed to keep him back at the baseline by hitting the ball deep, but he would just put his racket between the ball and the fence every time. This also affected me on my serve; I could serve it 75 mph or 25 mph and the return was the exactttt same thing. He was admittedly very consistent on his groundstrokes, however. How do I "push back" when the time comes for an actual challenge match?
