In padel and tennis, mastering the serve is only half the fight. Whether you control the point or lose it depends on what happens next. Renowned coach Javier Serer has revealed important tactics that players need to use after serving in order to increase their winning chances.
Positioning just after the serve is one of the best strategies. Serer stresses the value of moving forward and waiting for the opponent to return, whereas many players make the error of remaining motionless or backing away. Players can take charge of the rally and set the game’s pace by doing this.
The serve-plus-one technique is another important tactic. This entails preparing the subsequent shot before the serve is even made. An aggressive follow-up shot, such as a deep forehand or a fast volley, should be set up by a well-placed serve. Serer emphasizes that players who plan ahead and make a precise second shot frequently have a big edge.
