andy beat change chasing counter federer instead strengthen turn
Somehow, Andy has to turn it around so that instead of chasing Federer, he's making Federer beat him. I would probably say don't counter him. Play your game. Strengthen your weaknesses. Make him change his game. If you're on him at the net, he has to find something else.
