Who is your worst opponent or (opponents)? The ones you can't beat anytime or against who you can't even win a set? For me the worst are absolutely Nadal and Verdasco. I hate left handed players as i like to play inside-out forehands so that my opponent will often use the slice backhand to keep the ball in play and this gives me the chance to step inside the court and start pushing him with my baseline shots. But against a left-hander, of course, this doesnt work anymore and i have to try to play more cross-court forehands, finding myself a lot of time in bad positions and i often end up taking winners from both sides. Plus, i hate players that use a lot of topspin as they force me to play 2-3 meters behind the baseline and from there i can't hit any winners anymore. Plus they are great defender (Nadal's a monster) and once my net skills are ridicolus so far it's almost impossibile for me to win a point. I come from five straight 0-6 against Nadal (i lost the first match in Australia 6-1 6-0 6-0 where i won the first game of the match) and then i lost in Montecarlo 6-0 6-0. Against Verdasco i never won more than 3 games per set in my career. Who are yours? I play at Pro 10.
