Hi Varun,

The important thing is to keep them away from attacking.  To do this you need to develop your short play.  Keeping the ball low and close to the net.  Also think about which side they like to attack with and try to keep the ball as far away from that shot as possible.

Berry v Datta

Shibaji Datta is a hot favourite in this match up against the unusual style of Brian Berry who loves to mix the game up with some great defensive play and some whippy forehand attacks.

Plus, now and again try to start an attack yourself - it needn't be a strong attack, just become more active (they often don't like that)
