Hello Alois
Is pushing or blocking a topspin (serve) a good receiving tactic (with a normal rubber)?
greetings

Hi Joris,
For a topspin serve you can push or block it but the preferred return would be to topspin the ball back if the serve is long.
Pushing is a difficult option as you need to control the topspin on the ball.
