How to return a backspin serve when the opponent does a 3rd ball attack.

Hi Jack,

The best thing is to be able to push the ball back short on your opponent's side.  This will make it more difficult to make a 3rd ball attack.

If you can't it short then think about making the return more effective by pushing the ball fast and long to a difficult position for the server.

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.
