In this video I highlight a big error players make when trying to return a sidespin serve.

This error is very common at the beginner and intermediate level and makes it almost impossible to return a sidespin serve.

To help demonstrate the error, you will see footage of Uma. She is a Division 3 player in Cambridge. Uma is working hard at improving her game, but she finds it hard to return sidespin serves.

But when we fix the error she is making, she starts to return many more of my sidespin serves.
