I'm playing a match against a guy who's been on a big winning streak lately, beating a lot of the better singles players in our leagues. He's a smaller guy, doesn't look very athletic but he gives it 100%. He hits aggressive slice off both wings, and can flatten out his forehand on high balls. His strokes are towards the compact side and I don't think he ever hits with topspin. His main strength is his ability to take the ball early and chip it accurately towards the sidelines, using his opponents' pace against them.
My game: lefty, semi-western FH, 2HBH. I tend to be a heavy top-spinner. I play dubs regularly and my net game is okay but my ground strokes are better.
My main thought is that his inability to hit topspin must give him some weaknesses. What's the best approach for this type of player?
