BREAKING LEFTY'S SERVE

Serve and volleying lefties are tricky, especially in the ad court.



They pull you wide and unless you hit a really well placed return they have a lot of open court to volley into.



In my last match I was faced with playing one of these guys.



Initially, I started by returning with normal 2-handed backhand but I wasn't happy with the results. So, late in the first set which was on serve, I decided to really move my feet with his slice and then hit a soft slice return right up the line forcing him away from the center of the court.



It worked perfectly . I broke to win the first set and then broke again early and won the second set and the match in straight sets.



Moral of the story as always --keep searching for creative ways to switch patterns into your favor.



Until next time,
