Hi Francisco,

I think if you look at them as sacrifices then you may be missing the point.  If you want to achieve a goal then there are things that you need to do to achieve those.  If you want to become a professional player then you need to train regularly and with great focus.

I tried to train well as much as I could when I was playing.  At the peak of my training I trained 6 hours a day, 6 days a week.  That was when we were being coached by Mr Zhou a former Chinese National player.  It was hard work at the time, but also very rewarding.

Long Returns

By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
