This achievement could take a few tries, but here are some useful (at least I think they are) tips for those who are looking to attain this achievement.
1) Fast reaction - This is I think the most important tip I can give. The bottom line is: you need to be fast. This is like playing a real life table tennis match. Rallies are going to be on the long side, therefore concentration is the key. Keep you eyes on the ball at all times.
React quickly to your opponent's shots, especially top spins (the ones that come onto you hard and fast and have an orange trail).
Shuffle left and right as per necessary and recover to the centre position every time after you return a shot.
2) Control - You have control on two things in this game. The direction of the ball and the spin. If the opponent is standing to the right, hit the ball to the left and vice versa. If you are right handed, try to bottom-spin the ball (you hit bottom-spins when you lower your hand while hitting) to the left hand side of the table. and when the ball is returned, immediately top-spin it to the far right, I've managed to score quite a few points that way.
3) Smashes - when you get the chance to smash, you have two options. Either smash to the two corners of the table, or smash the ball directly at the opponent's body. The latter catches the opponent in an awkward position and as a result, hampers their ability to return the ball, just like in a real ping pong match. The former moves the opponent away from one side of the table, which opens up an opportunity for you to score on the other side.
When you are smashing, don't get carried away, sometimes your opponent will manage to return the ball without giving you the chance for another smash. This return is often top-spun (which means fast), so be vigilant.
4) Minimize your own mistakes - this is pretty obvious. Try not to make stupid mistakes like hitting the ball out of bound or mistiming a shot. This can cost you in the long term.

doesn't work over live, need to be local.

Of course it doesn't. Makes no sense playing against AI over Live. The description: Win a match in Table Tennis (Champion difficulty), kinda gives you a good hint that it's against AI.

I did this in 2 player co-op. I had tried it several times and it had never crossed my mind to attempt it with 2 players, whichs makes it so much easier.
We still got our asses handed to us a couple of times just by the opposition blasting body shots at us.
We realised eventually that it was best to both stand at the corners of the table and hit every shot as a backhand. Stand with your legs apart and slightly bent, and don't move to get the shots just lean. We barely missed any shots this way.
Don't try to hit the ball hard, just get your paddle to it. It should require minimal movement, and it's suprising how many 'slow' shots the opponents will actually miss.
When you get a smash opportunity, this is the only time you move from your position and do a normal forehand smash.
The opponents always alternate who takes the shot, so try and take advantage of this by aiming your smashes right back at the guy who just hit the ball - thanks Drabik!

co-op doesn't work over live, so you need friend or something.

I must admit some really good solutions to this one, and if you want to get it the 'right' way playing it like a real match is the only way. I only started on Beginner a few weeks ago and I wasn't good so I gradually built up through the ranks before moving on. Against Champion I was getting beaten 11-3 and the like and then I started to play with my 'lead' hand facing the Kinect - this way you don't get caught out too often on backhands as your hand only has to go left or right to play shots rather than changing sides - and a fraction of a second makes all the difference.
Lost the next 15-17 and then 8-1 up in the following until I got distracted and that is another key - concentration ALL the way through. But then I knew I could do it.
It's a hard one to get but worth the effort.

Try and play the match like you would a real table tennis match. Remember that the game registers when you put spin on the ball, and it is trick shots like these combined with attempting to make the computer stretch to the other side of the table, like mentioned below in “Roll Them Over”, that will help you on your way to victory. Take note of the shots that your opponents play to try and counter them accordingly, as your opponents can put spin on the balls too which will cause them to be returned differently eg. a shot with back spin will be slower, meaning you will have to wait longer before returning it, and a top spin shot will need to be hit earlier than a normal one. With a bit of practice, this achievement should be yours.

This achievement was troublesome for me, but I'll tell you what to do to win:
1. Use a tactic variable I will give an example:
2 quick balls (red side of the racket) 1 top-spin (black side of the racket)
You have to play alternately (so that the bot cannot predict your moves)
2. you have to train I had to train 5 times on this bot to beat it.
3. you have to be persistent. from 30 seconds to 1:50 minutes you should get a point. REMEMBER if you have a match point, the bot will react 4x faster.
4. keep moving your hand if you do not move your hand and the ball bounces, the bot will be able to "cut" it then move your hand left and right maybe you can bounce.

a useful tool I used was the controller. i know this method is not fully legit and can kind of be considered cheating but this method works. I won 11-8 on my first try using this method.
To use the controller method, you place the controller in your NON-hitting hand. So in my case, i was hitting right, so i put the controller in my left hand. If you are hitting left handed then you have the controller in your right hand. So after you serve, the champion will hit back and once they do, hit the xbox guide button (the middle button). you need to keep an eye out for where the ball is headed so that you can adjust your body to hit the ball. Have your hand in position to hit the ball. Press the xbox button again to return to the game and you should be able to hit the ball back. Continue doing this until you win the match.
You can also use this method to attempt the Table Top Triumph Achievement:

If there are any questions or comments, please let me know.
