Pushing to elbow

Strategy

Hi Alois why does tomkazu harimoto always push long to the opponent's elbow of return of serve when he doesn't flick?

Thanks

Tam

Hi Tam,

He has a very good counter attack. By pushing to the elbow, it makes it an awkward attack for his opponent and allows him a little extra time to make his counterspin.
