Hi Alois ! My friend is not the kind of player I used to play against. When he topspins, there is a lot of sidespin and I can't block it. But my friend blocks 70% of my topspins. He never tops from the backhand; he only pushes the ball. How should I play him ?

Hi Yoan,

Try to push the ball long and fast to his backhand and then make a topspin on the next ball so that he doesn’t get a chance to play his sidespin topspin on his forehand.

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.
