I Hate That Shot!!

I played some singles today and it got me thinking. This particular friend of mine KILLS me on cross court passing shots every time we play. It feels like even when I hit a solid approach shot, he still gets me with it nearly every time! I have to give him a lot of credit as it is just a bread and butter, beautiful shot on his part. I spent today trying to attack it in different ways but it still gets me the majority of the time. What about the rest of you? Is there a particular shot or opponent for you that is just difficult to overcome? I want to hear some responses (mostly so I can feel better about myself not being the only one!)
