Hi Mohsen,

The idea is to stop his strength.  You should look to keep your serves and pushes close to the net.  This will stop him from attacking.

Also look at keeping him off balance.  Use your placement to make sure he doesn't get an easy swing at the ball.  Avoid the danger zones on the table.

Good luck with the match.
