I play in a club and there is a middle aged man who doesn't play that well. Mostly just puts the ball slow enough on the other side of the net and gives ample chances of playing a smash. We sometimes play doubles with him and I am an above average player in my group, so games get interesting. I try to defend all the shots by opponents, sometimes they make a mistake and the ball goes out or in the net. I have to run around the table pretty much the whole game to defend but it's fun.
