Play for fun, or get a personal coach. Or join a club to meet some serious players.

I have joined a club... I’m just gonna ask my coach to train with me at the club I don’t want my technique to be bad just by an amateur player.Im a decent higher level than the player but I’m not a pro lol.Whenever I train with pros I improve a ton.Tbh since the club has no charging I’ll just wait for my coach

Treat it like a random footwork drill. Try to be in perfect position to put every ball right back on his racket so he can keep it going. Increase difficulty by using only your forehand and then only your backhand. It's like the opposite of a match; the better you can get him to play, the more you get out of it.

When it is your turn to serve, it is a 3rd ball attack with random return drill. When he serves, it is service return practice! I have a few friends that won't agree to practice no matter what, but happy to play matches for hours straight. That is how "practice" with them.
