Hi Allyot,
That’s a great question! Firstly, I would say Timo plays with a lot more spin and control over speed. So essentially when hes playing he has a fine touch on the ball during contact. This enables him to produce a lot of spin and rotation. This applies both on his backhand and forehand side. Whereas Dimitrij Ovtcharov plays with a lot more power, so both players have different styles. I would say Timo has a fantastic touch on the ball and that’s what enables him to produce more spin than others. I also think he works very hard and is an intelligent player with an incredible amount of experience. Timo also has very good footwork he is very low to the table with a strong center of gravity.
So to answer your question Allyot 🙂 To play like Timo you need to focus on spin, timing and brushing the ball. Let us know how you get on 🙂
