Hi guys,

In that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByUX0mOVjwg when the score is 3:3 10:7, there are some backhands of Zhang Jike. What is that shot?  Topspin or just a counterhit with a little bit of topspin on it.

Hi Nasko,

That is a counterhit with a bit of topspin.  He comes over the top of the ball to generate teh topspin.
