Hi guys

My opponent sticks to the middle of the table and no matter spin or speed he always gets to the ball. Fast /slow topspin, side, under and if I find a way he adjusts.  What should I do in this situation ?

Hi,

Try to use variation yourself.  Change the spin and speed of your shots as well as the placement.

Sometimes a slower shot can be more effective in this situation.
