Hello sir,

Sir I am very feared to play my next match after losing state championship. My freinds told me that you don't have ability to play in table tennis but I never lose hope. Sir please gives me suggestion after my defeat.  I am a hard problem against chopper. Hence defeated by a chopper bad luck.

Hi Devansh,

Even Ma Long loses matches and plays badly for his level sometimes.

Progress is not always upwards.  Sometimes you go down a level before going up.  Losses are all part of the development of a good Table Tennis player.

Keep working hard on your game.

thanks sir for answer, you said that training improvement is needed, I am going on my table tennis club regularly and I don't get my type of players in my club. my freinds don't want to improve themselves but I want to train hard. they don't know simple block also. I am a hard trainer and a very tough attacker like timo boll. My forehand topspins had some sidespin and my backhand is very powerful. so how can I train myself against choppers remember my club freinds don't know chopping. How can I train Myself.

please help sir your answer is a cure for me.
