Hi Mehboob,
Hi,Making the transition from practice to matches can often take a lot of time. You need to put more focus on the strokes during a match if you want to improve them. This may mean that your results suffer but in the long run you may become better.
To play a drive against backspin you need to brush the ball on contact and have a much more vertical stroke to lift the ball over the net. See the lesson on topspin against backspin at the following link on our website. Lesson - Forehand Topspin against Backspin. This will help you out.

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.
