What should you do when you're faced with a point (in play) scenario of backhand to backhand and your opponent has switched you down the line to your forehand?
Here are 3 tips to help you
Tip 1:
Closing the angle when you move towards your forehand side and aims to take the ball early which will enable you to go wide with your forehand to their forehand. Try your best to avoid going backward when being switched. this is because you will enable your opponent to dominate you with time and angles.
Tip 2:
Anticipation, try not to over anticipate, this means to get into a natural position after you have played your backhand. If you over anticipate either to the backhand or forehand side, more likely than not you will play a weaker stroke or make a mistake.
Tip 3:
Reading the body language, look at your opponent's timing point. Where are they connecting with the ball when playing their backhand. often a late timing point near the body will mean the ball will go down the line. early timing points away from their body often will mean they are going crosscourt. The next element is looking at the body language where is your opponent's body facing, often where they face is where they are going. Lastly, if you can try and track where their eyes are looking and this again will often tell you where they are going.
Bonus Tip
when being switched keep your stroke short if you can and use the angle given to you by taking them out wide to their forehand.
Tip two: try to be the first person to switch which can give you the upper hand in this match scenario
