My opponent is a better player than me, I just want to do as well as I can (maybe miraculously beat him too??).
Big serve big forehand big 2hbh. He hits flat. Makes more mistakes on his bh I'm told. Probably similar as a player to @J011yroger j011 but I imagine his serve isnt as big/good, hes not as tall, but his movement and perhaps forehand is probably better
I'm a lefty so probably my best bet is to go my fh to his bh as much as I can, and be very consistent.
What's the 2hbhs weakness? Should I hit high and deep? (Match is on grass so it wont be super high). Should I slice it low? Should I go for the angle? Maybe I could try to use my bh side spin slice at his body to jam him in rallies.
Never played him before but curious to hear opinions based on this description. I'll have a game plan going in but obviously I'll need to work it out on the fly in the match too.
His serve is big but he doesn't volley off it, my plan is to slice it back low down the middle. Maybe to his bh more if I can.
I'll try to hit low skidding first serves, mostly to his bh. And topspin 2nd serves to his body.
During the point I'll try to be consistent, focused and run hard. Try to mix my shots up with different spins to make the game ugly (unless I can find a good tactic to his bh).
Maybe in the 1st set I'll just go and play my usual game, then revert to these tactics in the 2nd if I get smashed.

before they will follow. I have a few years left before I become worm dirt ... here to help in the meantime.
... that should shut that young gun up.
