who is your toughest opponent you have faced

Jeff Plumb Answered 13 years ago

Hi Rahul,

The toughest opponent I ever played was Ding Song at the Australian Open. He was an incredible player who was a chopper with the most amazing counter attack.

← Waldner's serve backhand chop →

That's amazing.

I didn't know that caliber international players joined the Australian Open. What was the score???

There's that famous video of him versus Timo Boll in that looong rally.

Yeah, I think the year was around 1997 or 1998. We had a lot of International teams come down for the Australian Open that year. I think they wanted to see what the travel would be like ahead of the Olympics in 2000. Even Sweden and Jan-Ove Waldner came down.

Anti spin wont allow you to generate any spin. Since you already have good control, it is probably not a good choice.
