Hi Alois why does tomkazu harimoto always push long to the opponent's elbow of return of serve when he doesn't flick?
Thanks

Hi Tam,
He has a very good counter attack. By pushing to the elbow, it makes it an awkward attack for his opponent and allows him a little extra time to make his counterspin.
