Secrets Of The Return Of Serve
Who has the best tennis return of serve of all time?
Agassi, Connors, Borg, Andy Murray?
Well it’s simply one of the most important shots in the game and you need to get it right.
Why is it important?
Simple, if you can’t return well then you can’t break serve.
If you can’t return serve, you can’t break serve and therefore you can’t win.
And don’t forget you don’t need to hit screaming winners to have a great return you often just need to get the ball back in play – give your opponent a chance to miss/make a mistake.
Remember to win a point in tennis you just have to be the last person to have hit the ball in the tennis court!!
If you want to learn how to hit an attacking return of serve though, just check out the video below.

This is exactly the kind of videos my kids need. They skip the footwork and motion in favor of just hitting a return (volley for volley) and overlook the attack. Thanks Paul for helping. Awesome.
excellent choice of media but i think he/she would look good with some skin.
This is one more example that you need to have focus throughout the match to be able to take advantage of shorter and slower balls. Lot of players overlook these chances and automatically return it like they are returning much more offensive first serve. Think fresh and outside of the box and the results will come. Nice biomechanic representation of the aggression
is very good video it is fun for kids to see the skeleton playing tennis. if is fun they pick it up faster.
Great video, its good for tennis players to see it in slow motion, makes it easier to understand especially for children.
Hi Paul,
I found this video to be excellent especially the repetition which allows you to focus on different elements of the stroke with each repetition.
By focusing on different elements which is what I do when I’m working on a stroke I am able to groove the muscle memory to the point where it becomes automatic or instinctive.
This allows me to focus on placement or shot selection and improves my anticipation.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Regards,
Norman
Yes… I like it… 2 hours information in a 2 min video clip.
Every second to remember!
Thanx Paul
This is so much easier to understand than actually watching a real person. You can focus on the actual movements without being distracted by the ball, racket etc.
No Bones About It!!!! Very, very good. As the old saying goes repition is the mother of learning. Even if it’s visual.
great info, thanks
I like the presentation as is. Simple, direct, and efficient. The skeleton effect reminds me of the martial arts show where they were demonstrating the bio mechanics of various strikes and kicks from the various martial arts styles.
This is fantastic.
Nice, clear and simple easy to understand instructions.
In my opinion what will make it more helpful is one or two real clips confirming that top pros do exactly that for young players to see.
First class Paul.
¡Very good! I’ll try it.
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Guillermo
