Hi Kaivalya,

Try to improve a variety of serves to start with.  Just keep experimenting and trying to generate lots of spin and to various positions.  Against each opponent try a few different serves and see which one works the best.  There isn't one serve that is the best necessarily.  It will change against each player you play.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
