Match Strategy
Strategy
Sandesh Shrestha Asked 13 years ago
It was the finals and a best of 5 match. My opponent was indeed a finely trained player. No matter how hard i hit to his forehand he would return it with double the power and even though i figured out during the match that he was weak to his backhand....i couldn't send the ball there...what do you think would be the best strategy against such players whose shots can't even be seen?

Hi Sandesh,
You need to try to get the rallies started on that diagonal to his backhand. Serve the ball there or try to return the ball there. This will make it easier to get the ball to the backhand side more.
You also need to think about keeping the ball lower so that it makes it more difficult for them to attack.

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.
