I played against Kai twice in this tournament both videos are in here the semi finals is the later match.
Topics discussed in this match.
-Kai had a noticeable quicker touch on the ball with pushes and loops, which gave me less time to react.
-He also has a very strong push to my backhand corner with both forehand and backhand, something I will try and copy as it was very difficult to deal with it.
Things that were working for me.
-mixing up my serves in a way that made him play reactive for example I would play two short to his forehand, one time no spin then side top the next, then I would serve long to his backhand, as soon as my serves became predictable I would lose because he was to fast.
-Same with receives If I flipped to his middle I would have a chance to win the point, when I went directly to his backhand he would rip it. Some short pushes all over the table and then an occasional long push worked well.
Things I have started working on after the match
- I now know I need to move in and out much faster so I have to get in my ready position after serve nice and low faster.
- I need to get used to serving and preparing for my opponents flip, I will practice taking that half step back with both feet as soon as I see the flip coming, as well as keeping my hand nice and high.
-I will continue trying to find my opponents middle with my openings, I feel that this is a scalable tactic that is worth mastering.
Thats all for now!
Have a good one :)
