How to return a serve that is going like around the net?
Hi Luis,
It is really difficult to get a serve to move around the net... but if the serve has a lot of sidespin then you need to watch to see which way the ball is curving. If the ball is curving from your left to right it will spin off your racket to your left. Therefore you should angle your racket to yoru right to counteract this affect.
For our Premium members, we explain this in our Introduction to Receiving section in detail.
