Fix This First - Depth of Return of Serve

If you want to understand why we place so much emphasis on the return of serve, watch what happens at the highest level of the game. In the epic final at the Rate Cup in Las Vegas, the rally is effectively decided before it looks dramatic. The short return sets everything in motion. Even Ben Johns, arguably the best player in the world, is immediately in a compromised fourth-shot position. He is defending instead of building. Andrei and Christian are crashing forward. From there, it becomes a speed exchange. The final winner is impressive, yes. But the point was earned off the return. That is the lesson. Short returns of serve get you in trouble. At every level. If you want to improve your results, fix your return.
