Hi friends !
A well-executed slice serve can truly change the course of a match, thus avoiding the dreaded double fault.

To learn how to perform an effective slice serve, follow these steps:

• Position yourself on the baseline, in profile to the net, with one foot slightly in front of the other for better stability.
• Throw the ball slightly to the right (for a right-hander) and in front of you.
• At the moment of contact with the ball, tilt the face of the racket to the right (for a right-handed person) and forward to generate the slice effect.
• Follow the movement with your arm and body after contact with the ball for more power and speed.

TIPS: Aim to hit the slice serve close to the sideline to exploit the curvature effect.
