Serve mixing

Strategy

Hi there!

I have drastically improved my service game and now thinking about how I can 'mix' these serves so that once I play all my serves in a game, I can play a serve (e.g pendulum serve) and make it look like something else (e.g down - the - line topspin serve) however, I have no idea how to do this so how can one do this?

HI Andre,

It is a matter of making subtle changes to gain a small advantage that will allow you to attack the next ball.  It is important to read your opponent as well to try to feel what they are expecting next and then give them something different all the time.

Variation is an important strategy.
