Hi Jonathan,

Against flat hitters the best thing is to use a lot of spin.  You can vary between backspin and slow and varied topspin shots.  They tend to like the ball coming fast and flat to them but struggle against the heavier spin.  They will struggle against the backspin because their topspin may not be as strong because they hit the ball flat.

We have a Match Strategy lesson on this in our Match Strategy Course.
