Hi Alois and Jeff
I am struggling to get a more deceptive fast long service when I serve fast and long my opponent anticipates it and plays a powerful forehand topspin can you help.
Thank you regards Arjun

Hi Arjun,
The key is to get your setup and action as similar as possible for the short and the fast serve. This will give your opponent less time to be able to react.
If you are setting up differently for the two serves or even if your backswing is different for the two then your opponent will anticipate the serve early.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
