Hi Alios/Jeff

I want to know that how during a match I can recognise my opponent's strengths and weaknesses when I am facing him for the 1st time. I have never seen him playing ever before.

Hi Sumit,

Take a look at the Vault.  In there it will give you a summary of things you should be looking for.

You can use the 2 minutes warm up to find out a few things about his game.  If you get a chance to watch him practicing before you play him this could also help.
