Strategy
Hi Ji-Soo,
This is an important question. In doubles you need to work with what your partner needs. In this case I would use your forehand a lot more and not use the long pimples because if your partner is not comfortable with the ball that comes back from it, it is difficult to change that in a hurry.
If you can play the ball short with the LP it may be more useful so that he isn't defending a topspin stroke.
You may need to get around and use your footwork and forehand a bit more!
Miao Miao, one of Australia's best female players, takes on the in form veteran Brian Berry. Who will prevail and make it through to the final? Miao with her pimples will be looking to play fast attacking Table Tennis. Brian Berry will be looking to mix things up with his unique blend of attack and defence.

Thanks for the insight Alois. Something that didn't occur to me during the tournament unfortunateloy.
I don't think I have the stamina to run around all my backhands, but next time I will twiddle and hit my midcourt backhand loops (like you taught me!).
