Hi Jared,

This does seem to be a trend.

I think defenders take a little longer to mature as well so perhaps their period at the top is similar.  However, Chuang Chi Yuan is also 33 years old.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
