Receiving
Hi Stefan,
Yes, I remember that prblem well. I was very short till I was 14 anfd palyers used to try this tactic on me a lot.
I think the best advice is to watch the ball carefully when they are serving. This will give you a little more time to reach that short ball. If the ball haas topspin it would be best to flick or block the ball back. If the ball is long on your side you can even topspin it back. Think about placing the return well. Because the ball is wide you can give it back to them wide as well.
Alois and Jeff commentate on some footage of Alois returning serves and explain his thought process as he gets ready and then executes his return of serve.
