Hi Alois and Jeff,
Today i just played in a state tournament i had to to pass the quarter to come to national but i lost, fortunately i still have a chance left in the doubles and team event. Anyway my concern is that the player i lost against as a very bad player he just made space and countered i just don't understand that -i gave him some chop he played it, i rolled the ball he smashed it. I found out 1 way to defeat him but when the side changed I could not understand whether it is its forehand or backhand. Now I want to find out how i could do something to defeat him plz plz plz help me defeat this player.
thanks in advance

Hi Eshaan,
I think you need to make the first attack ball faster. If you have good technique on the topspin stroke, then make the stroke slightly faster. Sometimes it doesn’t take much of a difference to change the whole game.
