Tell me what the general strategy is for beating each of these players

Player A
Left handed
Good forehand with no much spin
Weak backhand
Strong first serve but if missed, Weak second serve
Fast
Bad at volleys and overheads
Mentally weak

Player B
Strong forehand
Pushed Backhand
Very Consistant
Strong first serve with weak second serve
Not fast but has stamina
bad at volleys and ok at overheads

Player C
Strong first serve and weak second serve
Can play a hard flat forehand or a looping forehand
Consistant off both wings and good strokes
Backhand is weaker side
Not as good at volleying but can get the ball in
Decent at overheads
Slow and low stamina
Likes to fool around, eg: tweeners when lobbed
 
it all depends on what you are personally capable of.

for me, seeing that they all have no net game, i wouldn't be worried about them finishing the point at the net. so if i was ever in trouble i would just get the ball back in play any way i could (probably lob)



so i would be very patient and not be the one to make the mistake.
 
For player A, try to utilize a weak return from either his 2nd serve or backhand and send short balls to his backhand side. This will force him to go to the net, where he is bad at volleys and **** him off if he hits the net or goes long.

Or, just lob/moonball player A onto his backhand side. Expect him to either hit the net while waiting for the bounce or mishit his overhead.

For player B, you will definitely have to get a good angle on him. Take advantage of his lack of speed and force him into a tight crosscourt rally and wait for him to give you an easy ball to hit down the line. Or, as I would do, outconsist him. If you can, do a short slice or dropshot him so you can force him to the net.

For player C, move him around the court. You're going to probably match up to player C and duke it out in long, strong rallies. During these rallies, try as much as you can to change the rhythm and bring out an unforced error.

Then again, these "strategies" are mainly defensive in nature.

For all of them attack second serve.

For player a: Attack backhand.

For player b: Attack backhand, but you'll have to be decent at putting away balls.

For player c: Break down his backhand, bring him to net and make him volley, drop & lob, move him around. Don't give him time to rest, i.e, rush him through breaks/ start serving as soon as possible, but don't rush too fast that it forces you to make errors urself.
 
I don't think just playing at their backhands is going to work. Player A is fast and has bad net play so attack him a lot. Try to chip&charge on his second serve sometimes? Player B has pretty good groundstrokes so don't get into long rallies with him. Again, try to attack him because you don't want him attacking you. For Player C, I guess you would have to await a short ball and pull the trigger from there

Player A is left-handed and doesnt hit with alot of spin???! That's just foolish. :)
 
Player A- Get into rallies from your forehand to his backhand. Attack his second serve by putting it to his feet off his backhand wing.

Player B- Hit to his backhand all day until he gives you a short ball, pounce on it and hit an inside out forehand winner.

Player C- Don't let him set-up run him around the court. Change up how you it the ball, throw some slices in. Don't get caught up in his stupid shots.
