Hi Anna,

The things to vary with your serve are the amount of spin, the speed and the placement of the serve.  If you can vary these well then you will definitely confuse your opponent.

Think about each of these when you start to work out some tactics to use against a player.  Think how you can make it difficult for them by changing one or more of these.  All players will have things that they don't like.  For example, they may not like a particluar direction of spin. or they may not like a certain speed of serve, whether it be fast or slow, they may also not like a particular placement.  Some players like to return from their backhand and others from their forehand and so on.

Your job is to find what is difficult for them.
