Opening up a rally

Strategy

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.

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.
