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.
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.

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.
