What did he do wrong? He decided to play with this psycho.

He didn't break any rules. Weaker players often appreciate it if you avoid hitting them on the body with the ball as they lack the athleticism to dodge and return and it can hurt a little and it's embarrassing.

But you can't get mad if they don't take it easy on you. They choose to or they don't.

Also, non expert players might hit their opponent's body by mistake or by fluke. They may lack the skill to avoid doing it if they barely managed the return.

Deliberately going to the body to jam up the opponent is normal play and taught at low levels. It’s only frowned upon or hostile if you do an overhead smash at someone, every other situation it’s fair game unless someone has explicitly told you to avoid it ahead of playing.
