Second Serve Return

Key Points

• The second serve return is your opportunity to be aggressive and take charge of the point
• An aggressive return allows you to get the first strike against a player with great groundstrokes
• Put pressure and keep your opponent guessing by changing positions as they throw the ball up
• Try and make the server serve where you want by stepping around some early and hitting big forehands or backhands
• Teach kids to chip and charge or come in off the second serve when they practice or play doubles
