Hi Alois I'm Dilena how do you play/beat someone that is a much, much higher standard and hits the ball much faster and harder than you ?

Hi Dilena,
Firstly this is a difficult task. What yo need to focus on is to play well yourself. Think about the tactics that you need to use such as where to serve, where to return and what type of speed you should play and in which direction during the rally.
If they are very strong they will probably have a good attack. You need to find ways to stop them from making that attack. Keeping the ball short and low is a good starter. Then think about which side they are weaker on and play a lot of balls to that side.
This will give you the best chance to play your best and challenge the better player.
