Hi Tom, well, I tried to do all of the things you mentioned, but I still lost on most short under-spin serves to my forehand. Honestly, even if I did manage to return with a short push, the guy just kept pushing back , some long and some short, until he went on the attack first and started looping against me. However, I do think I returned more balls this time against him. I just need to work on attacking first against his longer pushes to my forehand side instead of getting stuck in perpetually pushing. Thanks again for your advice.
