How to counter aggression
Strategy
Jack Tan Asked 6 years ago
I have a friend who always uses a slow, long pendulum sidespin+topspin serve. He plays REALLY aggressively and is able to perform any attacking stroke quite consistently. I am able to attack his serve, but he just counters it back with even more speed and power. Keeping the ball low and short doesn't work either because he is really good at flicking. What can I do against him?

Hi Jack,
I would try variation of speed and placement. Even playing a slower topspin may be the answer. Also keep changing where you are playing that shot to.

Gerada v Lu
Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
