Hi Alois! I just fought in my first tournament and I won my first game. I'll be fighting again tomorrow. This time, I have an opponent who is really good. He has great topspin attacks and great pushes. His mistakes come rarely. His serves are fast sidespin serves, and "snake" serves. Any advice? I'm really nervous right now. By the way, my forehand rubber is a DHS Hurricane 2 and the backhand rubber is a 729 Lightning.

Hi Rey,

Well done!  Good luck tomorrow.

If the player you play tomorrow serves long then you can topspin the returns.

Be ready for his long serves and be ready to topspin them back to him.  This will set you up for the rest of the rally.

Just focus on enjoying the contest and doing your best.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
