Semi-Pro
Let me explain what I mean. When I play somebody who is aggressive, or actually hits the ball deep and with pace, etc. I play REALLY GOOD against them. Long rallies, ending in a winner by me, etc. even when I lose against them I feel good because I know I did well.
HOWEVER, today I got to relive a nightmare that stalked me last year.
I move from not playing at all Freshman year, to 3rd seed Sophomore year, to 1st seed this year. First match of the year was this year. Turns out the kid I played as a 3 seed LAST YEAR, went to 1st this year since that team lost all their good players (graduation).
I relived the past. Last year I lost to him. He plops the ball over the net, gives me NOTHING to work with, no spin, no pace to use to my advantage, just playing patty cake. I lost.
Today, my teammate and I dominated them in doubles. They didn't win a single game.
I play my guy in singles. PLOP PLOP PLOP.
I'm 90x better this year than last year, but I STILL GOT NOTHING TO WORK WITH. Hitting like usual is thrown COMPLETELY OUTTA WHACK when I played him. I lost, of course.
Why do I play so bad against kids that can't hit good, and amazing against people who can? It makes no sense. It isn't a mental thing, trust me so don't say it is. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Just plowing the ball didn't work, I actually did BETTER when I played his game. Any help??
