Returning a Kick Serve With a One-Handed Backhand

Key Takeaways:

- Use a slice backhand for high serves above the shoulder; drive through lower bounces.

- Crosscourt returns are safer, aiding recovery and reducing your opponent’s angles.

- Down-the-line returns leave your court exposed, so use selectively.

- Aim for depth to limit your opponent’s options.

- Decide early on high backhands: retreat for a spin drive or move in for an on-the-rise slice.
