Cheese Statement (Fair Play at the ITST)

[Nico Swiss]

Heya guys

I've got a question. The two last matches i played, but espacially the last one my opponent always used x-serves when it got close on his/her serve. What should I do? Because if i use something else as a lob i get crucified and that is really frustrating

I would like to know it too. Are defense lobs allowed in a rally at ts4? Yes or no?

[Moralspain]

Not allowed to return a serve, cheap tactic in my book.

[Burna747]

and if my opponent use defense lobs to comeback into the point? Thats cheesy tactic in my oppinion because you can do nothing instead of waiting that the ball touches the ground and your opponent can go easy back in a good position. And if he uses it at a important point he can change a match to his advantage.

pls an answer...

From my point of view that's not a cheesy tactic, if you see he's over using that shot you could plan ahead and rush the net to finish the point, your opponent will stop using it if he sees his tactic doesn't work anymore

hey all!

is it cheesy to only hit serves around 130-150 km/h when you have 75 on power?

I think that it isn´t realistic but some players do it... I prefer serving hard first serve and second serve slow.

They were talking about Top Spin 4. In xbox "x-serve" is a slice serve. In PS3 is a flat serve (if i 'm not wrong)

Hi, apparently my opponent said it is cheesy for me to play with a serve and volley player and using drop shot volleys, however i dont see what the problem with this is. Surely this is my advantage of having a serve and volley player, whilst my forehands and backhands are weak, and this happens in real tennis a lot of the times, especially when pete sampras played.
what are your thoughts?

I agree with you, even if you know where your opponent is going to serve you lost the point and is impossible get a break.
