Pusher (tennis)
text:
In tennis, a pusher is a defensive player who "pushes" back balls without deliberately hitting a winner. Pushers aim to hit deep strokes, dinks, and lobs, which are characterized by consistency. Backspin is typically used instead of topspin. This style of play, similar to a "human backboard", contrasts with offensive opponents who favor powerful shots. Pushers aim to elicit unforced errors from the opponent, i.e. by waiting for them to make the first mistake.
