Hi Greg

As you probably know, once your shot hits the front wall, your opponent then becomes 'the striker' and you are required to "make every effort" to get out of his way - he shouldn't have to "wait for you to move away".

However, if he has deliberately taken an indirect route and run into you, or is crowding you as you make your shot, this would usually be deemed "creating his own interference" if he cannot then get to the ball and he should not normally get a let (this can happen when your shot was too good and he is trying to 'milk' a let). However, if you had 'wrong-footed' him, causing him to accidentally run into you, if he was still in a position to recover and retrieve the ball, this could be a let.

It's also unlikely this would be a stroke against you (if you had "made every effort"), as it is unlikely he would have hit a winner from the back of the court.

Anyway, I agree with Ron - probably a let (sorry, no certainty unless I can see the replay!)
