Take Your Time when Serving by Daniel DiVita, andro Future Champ

I've seen many players not taking their time when serving. I recommend that you learn a comfortable routine for serving. There is no one rushing you, and you actually control the pace of the game when serving. So, take advantage of this, and serve at the pace that you want to. This will help you make the least number of errors when serving.

“Winning at Deuce” by Sean O'Neill, Team STIGA

At 10–10 relax; try to play the point with the same discipline as you would any other. Thinking that it is a “do or die” point will cause tightness and pressure. Go with your strengths or force your opponent into their weaknesses. A well-placed push can be as effective as a loop kill if it is done at the right time and to the right place.

Preparing For Battle by Daniel DiVita, andro Future Champ

When going into battle or playing your match, the first thing you want to know is what kind of weapon your opponent is using. I've seen many players never check what kind of rubber their opponent is using. There are many different kinds of rubber that someone can use: long pips, short pips, medium pips, inverted, anti, and so on. So, before your match always look at your opponent's paddle. This way, you will know what strategy is needed to win, and save yourself a lot of headaches.

Prevent Your Opponent from Attacking Your Serves by Joseph Wang

If your opponent is particularly aggressive and attacks your serves, here are a few tips to keep him at bay. Always remember to look at where your opponent is standing before you serve. If he is itching to step around, do not hesitate to serve down the line. It is best to throw the ball a little higher when you serve, so you can have some time to sneak a glance from the corner of your eye before actually serving. If you think he is going to step around, you can always serve a side spin into the wide backhand, so the ball chases him as he is stepping around, or you could just serve short (at least two bounces before the ball leaves the table). Remember that serving is meant to give you the advantage and allow you to attack, not your opponent.

Tournament Tips by Marielle Chua, andro Future Champ player

• If you ever get frustrated during your match because of a dumb mistake you made, just shrug it off and concentrate on the next point. Take it one point at a time. Getting frustrated never gets you anywhere! Think it through.
• Always mentally rehearse before a match. Concentrate on the great shots you made and what you did to make them. When you picture good things, you will do them. Always stay positive.
• Always arrive at your tournaments early and get a good warm-up. When you warm up well, you play well.
