Hi Abbas,

Start by doing as much training as you can.  He has obviously hit a lot more balls than you.  Don’t focus on the winning and losing, think about how you are going to improve your game.  Start by going through the lessons on our Strokes & Techniques page.  Work your way through and see if you can increase your level first.  Then you can think about tackling a player of that level.
