Tennis Instruction: Feliciano Lopez Serve and Volley PDF Print E-mail

Tennis instruction: in this serve and volley sequence Feliciano Lopez makes a great forehand volley pick up on a low return, but he fails to realize that from that position he had to volley deep straight at his opponent to shut all angles. 

Instead he volleyed cross court and left himself open to a relatively easy downline passing by Roger Federer.

This half-volley situation occurs often when you serve and volley, I am going to point out some of the options you should exercise:

- Feather the ball over the net short right in front of you (if opponent is deep behind the baseline)

- Volley solid and firm deep to the center of the court at your opponents feet

- Volley the ball deep down the line (if the opponent played cross court) to the side you are stroking it

- Volley the ball with a short angle preferably into the service box (if the opponent played down the line)

These are basic principles of percentage volleying* but you are free to be creative and variable according to different situations.

*Percentage volleying - means a volley placement that will stack up the highest changes for you to win it outright or in your next shot.
