Suppose my opponent is making me run- from backhand to forehand. Which stroke should I use on the forehand side?

Hi Sauruv,

You could use a slower topspin which will give you more time to recover.  Also think about the direction.  If you go wide cross court then they don’t have as many options to move you wide on the other side.
