I played this guy tonight and he was just treating all my shots with utter disdain.
My general style is to hit pretty deep and flat off both wings and he just hit them back deeper and flatter.
I really didn't feel like I played poorly, he was just unconscious.
Any ideas with what to do with a guy liike that? Is it possible he liked the fact that I was hitting hard and fed off that? Should I have tried some low slice, looping topsin forehands?
I was trying to get into the net, but couldn't find a good time to do it, usually I like to move the rally along and pick my spots to come in, but before I could get the rally going, he hit a flat shot right in the corner by me.
He's probably a 4.5, I'm probably about a 4.0, so he's not so far above me that I shouldn't be able to compete with me. It was a ladder match and he won 8-3. (First to 8 wins)
Any advice would be much appreciated.
