I see many players trying to get too close
to the net after they serve, thinking that they must at least
be inside the service line to hit the opponent's return. The
problem with that is they cannot change directions and cover
the court adequately, because they are on the move when the
ball is hit and are not in a balanced position, which would
enable them to spring at whatever shot the opponent has hit.
Therefore, their obsession to get in close after the serve
leaves them open to a wide angle, lob, and low return. Speed
with balance before the ball is hit is terrific; speed for
speed's sake may be your downfall.
