Strategy
Hi,
i have seen defenders counter-attacking with their forehand, but i think that because attacker is more closer to the table, he would attack more effectively. Is counter-attacking as a defender a good option?
Hi,
Yes counterattacking as a defender makes it more awkward for the attacking player usually.
If the attacking player can get into a rhythm of attacking and controlling the rally then the defenders attack can break that up.
Often the attack of a defender is a little different to a usual topspin attack so it is something that the attacker doesn't see very often.
The key tactic against an attacking looper is to stop them playing their favourite shot, the loop. Alois tells you the best tactics to swing things in your favour when playing this type of player.
