at Is usually well to start serving
to your opponents backhand, for most
girls have weak backhands. Be careful
that your position before delivery
does not betray the destination OF
the ball. Some girls tell you by their
movements exactly where the next
service is coming. An occasional
variation of speed and length Is de.
sIrable. but be wary of the slow ball
against a good opponent; she will do
as she likes with It and probably
score.
Once you have served, do not let
your impetus take you into the court
unless YOU are playing the net game.
Stand behind the base line to await
the return, with your eye always on
the ball. Then return as the play
