How to play against a good player in a tournament who counter the looping topspin against a chop from my side?

Hi Aishik,

I think the key for you is to vary the speed of your topspin against the chop ball.  You have the variation of spin, speed and placement to work with.  If you can vary these things then it makes it a lot more difficult for them to counter that ball.

For help on nervousness during a tournament the key is your arousal levels.  Take a look through our Sports Psychology section for more help on this area.
