Hi,

I am a completely defensive player so most of the time i would be blocking topspins and smashes but when i come across players who wouldn't attack much or when I am in a situation in which my opponent is not is attacking, what should I do to get the point. Can you suggest me some aggressive shots or any other trick I can use to win the point in such situation. (I am not at all consistent attacking, the ball I attack is very fine and I can play it perfectly but I am not at all consistent)

Hi Rutvik,

Try to play a fast topspin at the first opportunity.  Try the 3rd ball attack strategy as this gives you the best opportunity to play an attacking strike before your opponent gets settled.
