Like how you moved him at 1:26. You seemed to try flicking just about every serve of hiz. Try a short bump or a fast push deep right at him or wide FH. That will give him something to think about. he waz too ready to counter your flick or loop it. You missed a lot of his serves that you should have made. You did not seem to see the spin or ball well, or you were not determined or confident to return some. That gets better when you get better at TT and can read spin better.
One thing I saw you do is serve to his extreme BH. he did not attack those as he didn't reall have a BH loop. Why not make a fast loop right down his FH line since he vacated it? I do this a lot with those who can only cut return my cut serve to their BH. The other option is to stay at table, do not step around FH, and make a BH spinny loop right back at the. If that doesn't win the point, you get an easier ball to deal with as you choose, hopefully with a steparound FH kill shot. You kinda did that at 2:17 with a fast BH after a fast serve right at his elbow.
Haha, a reverse serve at 3:23!
I see that when you are making those nice, deep spinny BHs and try to use a FH on the next shot, you are only stepping around halfway. You need to practice a lot more the complete pivot. You need to make the right foot go from planted behind you, to a rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise behind you. maybe even make left foot go forward a bit to make a complete step around and weight transfer forward for the return. Opponent isn't fast blocking those and the ball will not come back very far, go going for a little 1/2 step forward as part of the step around FH preparation is good for you for these blocked balls from your BH topspin.
If/when opponent makes a block, even if it is slow, and the block goes to your elbow, you are out of position to make a strong shot. it forces you to bend too much, sometimes you make the shot enough to win point, but often, you lose the point right there. The problem comes from either weight transfer too far back that makes you move back a little as part of recovery, or you stand too tall after the shot watching what is happening, instead of moving body for a FH kill on opponent's block. Either way, you are not moving soon enough. Get this worked on in practice. Even if it is not a game match practice. Have someone block your BH topspin, make your topspin predictable to a place partner knows, he blocks it in direction of BH corner, you are already moving right after the BH topspin, you need to move right foot all the way around and move left foot forward a bit, so you are now standing to the left of the BH corner in a very open stance ready to finish the ball. You can in this position hit to any area of the table, because the good positioning allows this. If you did not step around all the way, it is very difficult to hit for power cross court. Your opponents appear to be wise enough to know this.
Another multiball drill you can do is have a partner get 3 balls in his had. he feeds you one cut to your BH corner, you BH topspin, once ball crosses net, he feeds you a no spin or light topsin to your BH corner, you already stepped around like described above and you make a strong shot on balance, partner now feeds a knuckle or light topspin ball to your FH corner right after ball crosses net. You use crossover footworks to get to that ball and make a finishing shot. Thsi drill is physically demanding and is only one of the drills my coach makes me do 3x a week. My training uses a lot of single ball (drill where player and coach use only one ball and are hitting it to each other) comination drills. She was a former defensive player, so she knows more than a little bit about blocking. We can do these combo drills with single ball often. These combo drills can really smoke you. (American expression for wear you out physically, like afterwards smoke is rising from your tired body)
