Match Strategy
Hi coaches,
I have a friend who serves topspin most of the time. His serves are really easy to flick but after flicking, I turns into an open rally battle and I usually lose. I've tried to finish the point with a faster flick but failed. I always make errors. So how should I beat this type of player?
Hi Eugene,
In this situation, you can mix it up with some long pushes with a bit of backspin on them. Flicking may not be the answer because it puts him into a good position in the rally.
You could also try placing the ball wider even if it isn't too fast. The extra movement may be the difference.

But he serves topspin and float serves, isn't pushing a little risky?

It can be but it is a change up that you can try. Even stepping back and playing a chop may help.
