Hi Siddharth,

Try serving the ball short or closer to the net so that he doesn't get such a swing at it.  The other thing is to stay away from the backhand side by serving to his forehand or middle more. You should also try different types of serve to his backhand.  He may just like the ball swinging one way to his backhand and not the other.  Explore some options next time you play him.
