A simple strategy for RETURNING SERVES

In this video, coach Emma, shares her secrets for returning serves. Emma favours a more controlled and strategic approach when returning serves, with one overriding principle - put the ball where your opponent doesn't want it! This strategy has given Emma a lot of success over the years and could have a big benefit for your game too.

In the video, Emma is using this equipment:

"slow shot can be as effective as a long attacking one" love that.... Very wise Lady, will try to book a training sess with her!

Wow, this strategy really simplifies the process. No more struggling with unpredictable serves. Thanks for the awesome tips! 👏🔥

Good video Tom. I do enjoy these videos where you use this lady.

Love it! Another great video from you & Emma. Usefully, i can watch & analyse your slo-mo sequences of Em's returns to you, as i work gradually towards the goal of not losing every game to her... 😂 Fab stuff, thanks again, Tom!

I initially thought this video would be about reading spin to be able to not miss returns 😅 really hard to put the ball where the opponent doesn't want it when idk what spin is on the ball😬

Hi Tom. Can you bring the solution for that video of yours talking about playing against the "brick wall"? I struggle a lot when playing with this type of player.

Good advice, but what if you can't read the spin on the serve? If you can't do that, you haven't got a chance.

You’re also very static and not anticipating where the ball is going. I know easier said than done but ya gotta be a bit more aggressive and more confident that your shot’s going in. 😅

All fine assuming you can read the spin... If you can't you won't be able to dictate much...

[pratimputatunda]

What a rubbish video ... Put the ball where the other player doesn't want it... Such crap. When you are being served to, one needs to first deal with the service, and the video needs to explain the best returns.

Most horrible video on YouTube. Misleading title. Very general and intuitive points. Did NOT add anything
