Whether you’re just beginning to play matches or you’re already a seasoned veteran, there’s one play that works no matter what your level is. What is this magic formula, you ask? Hit to your opponent’s weaker side. Sure, this is really basic advice but the truth is that many players who should know better ignore it. That’s too bad because directing ball after ball to your opponent’s inferior wing is often the surest way to win.
Try this. Identify early on which of your opponent’s ground strokes—his forehand or backhand—produces the most errors or, if you come to the net, gives you the ball you can volley successfully. Then pound that side ruthlessly. Don't change because you think they will catch on. Don't worry they will improve their weakness because you're hitting there so much. Don't worry that they know you're going to hit there. Just hammer that side without mercy.
