Bizarre playing style

Strategy

Hi Alois ! My friend is not the kind of player I used to play against. When he topspins, there is a lot of sidespin and I can't block it. But my friend blocks 70% of my topspins. He never tops from the backhand; he only pushes the ball. How should I play him ?

Hi Yoan,

Try to push the ball long and fast to his backhand and then make a topspin on the next ball so that he doesn’t get a chance to play his sidespin topspin on his forehand.
