How do you learn where an opponent is going to return your service to enable you to 3rd ball him in the first place if I could work that out I would be ready to attack his return.

Hi Syd,

You can never be sure but in general a lot of returns come cross court, especially if the receiver isn't thinking about his return.

After a while you start to get the feel of where someone will return.  That is why a lot of the top players on'y use a couple of serves so that they get used to the returns.
