Comeback 10-8
Strategy
Luke unknown Asked 10 years ago
When it's 10-8 for my opponent. And it's my serve, what type of serve should I do if I want to do a comeback, or does it just depend of the player your playing against. In tournaments for my first serve I usually serve long side spin or chop to the middle, then I if I win the point I do short heavy backspin serve. Is it a good combo of serves for the comeback.
And also if I am the one leading 10-8 what serve should I use to finish the set.

Hi Luke,
Every situation is different.
In general, try to use the serves that have been working for you previously in the game.

You shouldn't take risk of doing a serve you didn't do in the match before.
