How do I deal with players with unorthodox ways of hitting the ball, especially in doubles?

Hi Aditya,
The most important thing is to treat each ball as it comes and learn from each ball that you hit. The reason they are difficult to play is that they are doing something that you are not used to seeing.
By watching each hit that you make you are learning more quickly what is happening. The more difficult hits to watch are the ones that you miss but these are the important ones to watch and learn from.

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
