Serving

Hi Alois

In your videos, you said that I need to vary my types of serve, but if I change my serve to something else instead of the one that they do not like, my opponent will get the point easily, do I still need to vary the serves in this case?

Hi Yap,

You always need to think about the serves your opponent doesn't like.  Change for the sake of change is never advisable.

Hi Alois

           So do you mean that you advise me to keep using the serve (the long fast pendulum serve to backhand side) that my opponent doesn't like all the time, or I can try to vary other serves that are short, so my opponent will not attack.

You need to try other serves but if they don't work then stay with the serves that you find useful.
