How do i defeat a aggressive player with a topspin?

Hi Varun,
The important thing is to keep them away from attacking. To do this you need to develop your short play. Keeping the ball low and close to the net. Also think about which side they like to attack with and try to keep the ball as far away from that shot as possible.

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.

this is a very effective technique

Plus, now and again try to start an attack yourself - it needn't be a strong attack, just become more active (they often don't like that)
Good advice Andrej.
