Yesterday I played someone who was ranked higher than me but I felt I still should have beaten him. For the first few games I won fairly comfortably but later he changed his tactics to just serving long topspin to the corner of my backhand side. My backhand is more of a off the bounce wristy counter loop where I rely more on the opponents pace and my placement of the ball. Anyway my return of the serve wasn't fast or spinny enough, enabling him to punch a fast winner down the line. The game changed and he won a close 5th setter. He was also mixing up his serves well so I couldn't predict when he was doing the topspin serve so I couldn't move round to play a forehand. Im wondering if there were any other way I could have played him?
