Hi Luis,

You should try to make the first attack.  It gets more difficult the longer you leave it in the rally. See if you can set up the attack with your serve or return of serve.

You should also tye to improve your Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  Then as soon as your opponent gives you a long push, you should make the topspin attack.  This is a vital stroke to be able to lift your level.
