Dealing with low flat groundstrokes

General Advice

In a time where most people want to hit with lots of topspin, what’s the best way to deal with older “traditional” players that hit flatter and their balls tend to skid and sit low? Sometimes it feels like I almost need to stand inside the baseline to get to their shots vs standing 2 ft behind the baseline. It feels really difficult getting to these balls, being able to scoop up these low balls and sending back a quality shot that isn’t short and sitting up.
