Hi Alois

How can liu shiwen control the huge amount of topspin by the slow spinny forehand loop by ai fukuhara and hit the ball so flat that it is like a smash?

Hi Yap,

She is very fast and can cope with the speed and spin from Ai.  It looks like she is smashing but she is putting a lot of topspin on the ball which helps it to come down quickly.
