Match Strategy against better player

Strategy

Shaant Mittal Asked 11 years ago

What strategy do you need if you are an amateur and playing against an experienced player. Cuz I play with my father who is a state level champion. 

Another part, he has an angular kind of topspin much the same way as Rafael Nadal. When I want to topspin back on the same stroke, I see that the ball just flies away and does not reach the other side. 

Pls help

Thanx

The most important thing is to follow some procedures, like working out where their weakness is and what your strengths are.

If you take a look through our section on the Vault you will see the things that you can focus on.  You can do one with your Dad as the opponent and try to work things out.
