Major swings in the score line here, which indicates you can beat this opponent, provided you are applying the proper tactics. If we take a look at that 3rd set, which you won 11-2, 9 of your points came from good pushes and good backspin serves, which he had difficulty attacking. 2 other points came from pure errors on his side. In the 4th set you only continued that tactic half heartedly, giving him many short serves with side/top. He on the other hand changed his serves into side/top himself so as to make your pushes jump up, or go into fast rallies, which he dominated. Even in 1st set already, whenever you were giving him deep backspin, he was in trouble. When giving short side/top he was comfortable. 2nd set was tight, and could have gone your way by playing majority deep backspin and only occasionally vary for surprise. Your reading serve was much better than what I saw previous games, so well done there. The recovery to neutral (bat up) is becoming a good habit. Short term: stick with tactics that work, don't go back to tactics that play into your opponent's strenght (unless you want to train your weakness by exposing it). Long term: fh topspin against backspin. 0:30 and 0:50 and 3:03. For now, push back, even if that feels defensive and amateurish.
This is a really good scouting report against him. I tried this last night while I played against him - it was an interesting match, I can't wait to post it! And as always, the advice is spot on.
