Hi Jayalakshmi,

You should use the same tactics I would subscribe for any player.  I would start with a backspin ball to the long pimples.  This will give you back a topspin type ball that you will be able to attack with your forehand.

If you both hit shots with the long pimples, there will be very little spin on the ball. This is also a ball that you can then attack.

If they attack with their forehand then you are playing a ball like you would against any other player.

It is often a matter of getting used to the different spins that are coming and adjusting to them.
