A good game, and quite close. I think you were a bit too passive with your blocking which meant his spin reacted off your bat rather than you controlling the returns, and I think he worked that out. Do you do practice drills on club nights? Some drills which promote topspin practice vs active blocking (also with lateral movement as you were reaching for a few shots) might be useful. Just my 2c 🙂
@@InBodWeTrust thanks Ian - great FB - he did well getting in on both wings - next time I will be more aggressive on the return of serve - I let him in every time. He struggled with my serves 1st game then got the hang of them and I was in trouble. 4th game I changed it and won it - poor in the 5th - all the best
