Thank you!!!

I'll try to apply all this knowledge in the next games and I'll tell you what where the results...

A hard hitter will love playing another hard hitter because all balls will come to the back for him and all they have to do is move side to side. The advantage for you is that they will most likely hit any short ball deep. It may be hard to hit dropshot winners as the ball will likely be quite hot, but still use dropshots to move them around.

Hard boasts should also work well to keep them moving around. Lobs will slow them down since they probably want the ball low where they can whack it. Keep the ball tight. Try hitting only straight, boast, and drop any ball you can volley. Crosscourts are too easy to retrieve from the back.

For the guy that hits close to the tin, keep the ball deep and wide. Lower their percentages by making them hit from further back.

As a natural hard-hitting player myself who has just about learned to take a lot out of shots, I know a fair bit on this. There are a lot of positives you can take from a player like this.

 

If he is a hard-hitter, most shots are likely to go into the back corners. This puts you at an advantage as it makes him very predictable.

 

They are going to get tired easily. Whacking the ball all the time, especially in a hot court, will kill him off after a few long rallies. Make him work for the ball, vary your game and you will torture him.

 

Volley his shots with ease. Hardly put any swing in the racket at all, the power will be generated for you by your opponent. Aim to place the volley in the back corners, FOCUSING ON PRECISION and you'll have him beaten.
