Opening up a rally
Strategy
Frank Lucas Asked 7 years ago
Hey Alois
When you open up a rally with topspin, do you aim long or short? Does this change if your opponent is the better attacking player?

Hi Frank,
You can do both. It more depends on what the other player is ready for. Variation is important so that they are not always expecting the same length, same way as direction is important so that they are not always waiting in one position.
