How to return Dimitri Ovtcharov serve?

Alois Rosario Answered 9 years ago

Hi Pedro,

It looks strange but it turns out to be just a Backhand sidespin serve. Angle the bat to your right as the sidespin will want to take the ball off to the left.

We have a Premium Ask the Coach video response on his serve. Ovtcharov serve.

← Backhand topspin angle Timo Boll serve →

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.
