Counter-attack

In tennis, a counter-attack refers to a tactic used by a player to respond to an opponent’s attack with a quick and unexpected return shot. The counter-attack aims to catch the opponent off guard and disrupt their momentum. This tactic requires excellent reflexes, anticipation, and the ability to quickly change direction and redirect the ball with power and precision. Counter-attacking can be particularly effective against aggressive opponents who frequently come to the net or hit with pace and spin.
