Hi there
I've been struggling last weekend during competition. I lost a match against a much worse player then myself, because I couldn't handle his service.
The guy just used his forehand to do a kind of drive - dead spin - service extremely deep into my FH or BH and I couldn't predict where it was going.
Normally, I like deep services with sidespin, underspin, topspin, whatever, and I know what to do against them, but here I was just baffled.
Either I tried to topspin them, but missed the first 5 or 6 times because I was probably too late, so I tried to chop them, usually making the ball go long and eventually I ended up more or less blocking them, with my opponent greedily waiting to do a kill shot (which worked every ******* time).
I was extremely frustrated, cuz this guy couldn't do a topspin, a drive, a chop, a block, and still easily won this game in three straight sets.
Has anyone got a good idea how too humiliate this guy next time I play him?
--> In other words: how can I best return this no-spin-dead-ball-deep-service
Thx for your advice in advance...
