New style of receive
Receiving
Josef Novy Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
I noticed an untypical stroke when receiving - starting from backhand finishing on forehand -
like the one that is played here https://youtu.be/6B9loBc1DPI?t=429
Is it anything one should try to copy in amateur level and what is it actually good for ?
Thanks,
Regards
Josef

Hi Josef,
This is an interesting variation of a long push. It is basically a long push with sidespin. Try it out and see if it works for you.
You need to use it as a surprise tactic otherwise it will be too easy to attack.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.

Looks like something halfway between a long push and a banana flick (bat goes upwards) that helps her lifting the ball over the net (the serve seams to have a bit of backspin).
Nice match by the way, thanks for sharing! You know you'll see something interesting when the video is 55 minutes long. Smiling players, even a little playful at times (especially Renata), attacking style, and for once no Tchooooing! So pleasurable to watch. Will try to find more matches of these ladies.
