Receiving
Shivam Agrawal Asked 5 years ago
Recently, I had participated in a tournament where I was playing doubles. And one of my opponent did a very long , fast serve which also swung in the air. I could not receive it. What should I do?

Hi Shivam,
Watch the ball carefully. It will tend to curve in one direction. Then if it is long use a topspin to make the return.
