Hi,
When your opponent topspins you have two defensive options. One is to Block and the other to Chop.
Remember these strokes are defensive strokes and you need to have soft hands with them. Initially, don't try to play them too aggressively.
Take a look at the lessons on these on our website. Practice them and see if you can master these strokes.

#12 - Defensive Technique
Although attacking is the most popular style at the top level in Table Tennis, it is important to be able to defend well. If you choose to play a defensive style then you should be practicing these strokes all the time. If you play an attacking stroke then you should still try and find some time for these strokes. If you can win one extra point by defending well when pressured, it could make the difference between winning and losing.
