Hi Umar,

This comes down to playing style. There are some excellent defenders who chop balls back and rely on their opponent making a mistake. However these days there are a lot more attacking players who prefer to block or counter topspin the ball back aggressively. This can be hard to do but if you are successful puts a lot of pressure on your opponent.

Do you like to play aggressively or defensively?
