hello coach,

I want to ask that if my opponent is doing pendulum serve in my wide backhand. where should I return, to his forehand or backhand. What to do if he is forehand attacker or a chopper, same question for reverse pendulum serve.

Thanks.

Hi Devansh,

The answer will depend on your opponent each time and the situation in a match.  There isn't one answer that will fit every situation.

You need to work out what each opponent doesn't like and then this may also change during a game.
