Hi Thanasis,

You need to use the Push stroke if you want to use defence.  However a defender usually likes their opponent to push to them because that is what they do well.

Try to use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  This will give you the attacking position ans make it harder for the defender.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
