Hi Alois

How can I return a fast long sidespin+backspin push. My opponent just have a very big action when doing the push and generates this kind of ball.

Hi Yap,

You can still use a topspin stroke against backspin that we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  Just focus on brushing the ball fast and fine to generate a lot of your own topspin.  This will help to negate the sidespin that is on the ball.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
