Starting Point: The serve initiates every point, making it crucial to start off strong and put pressure on your opponents.
Positioning: A well-placed serve can force your opponents into a defensive position right from the start, giving you the upper hand.
Variety: Mixing up your serves with different speeds, spins, and placements can keep your opponents guessing and disrupt their rhythm.
Strategy: A strategic serve can target opponents’ weaknesses, such as their backhand or less dominant side, giving you an immediate advantage.
