Hi,
What is the plan of vladimir samsonov's playing style?
Thanks!
Hi,
Samsonov utilises his serve well and also isn't afraid if his opponent attacks first. He is able to counter attacks well.
He will however, take the opportunity to attack if he gets it. He may seem passive but also puts his opponents on the back foot if he can.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
