Hi Tony,

Like with all other serves it is a matter of working out what spin is on the serve.  It will in general have some sidespin and either a bit of topspin or backspin.  You need to watch the serve very carefully and then also watch where the ball goes when you have hit it. 

Our Receiving Secrets DVD will be available early next year.
