6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Today let's talk about predicting where the returns are going to come when you're serving.

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,200
There's a lot of patterns of play in the game of tennis.

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,200
One of the most common is where the T-serve is returned to.

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,360
On a strong T-serve where you have good pace on it and it's well placed, you can almost

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,440
always expect that return to come back to you inside out and cross court.

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,440
If you know that as a pattern of play, you can tell your partner to be in place to look

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,280
to poach that ball knowing that it's very uncommon for a strong T-serve to be returned down

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,000
the line.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
This is under the exemption of course that you move your server out in the box and you

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,520
keep the return or guessing and if you do that you can always expect that serve to come

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,840
back inside out.

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,020
Use this in your netch match and tell me how it goes.

18
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:20,280
