Good article. One of my favorite topics. The answer is simple. Serve and volley is still useful. It is only dead because kids haven't put in the time to use it. Kids today can't volley, don't know how to position at the net, and don't have the shots to play the front court- slice off both sides, lob volley, 1/2 volley. 2 good 4.5 men doubles players can beat 2 TRN 18 year olds ranked between 11 and 30 nationally. I have seen it happen.
