Returning Service

"CONFUSE AND SURPRISE YOUR OPPONENT” IS BUDGE'S TIP

It should be the purpose of the service return to offset the offensive advantage which belongs to the server. This may be accomplished either by a direct attempt to take the offensive, or by a defensive move to keep the server from gaining the full benefit of his advantage.

As the forehand in usually the stronger attacking stroke, I belleve that it should be favoured by the receiver. In other words, he should stand a little bit to the left of the centre of the service court.

The main object in making the re- turn to the net rusher is to keep him guessing us to what is coming next. The best programme is to mix shots down the line with angled returns and to avoid any fixed pro- | gramme or rotation of plays.
