I'm sitting here wondering whether it's possible to counter Medvedev's deep return position. Using normal serving positioning, it seems like it doesn't matter whether you serve out wide or down the middle... he's able to get to almost every ball and return them deep and with interest.
What if the server goes unorthodox to counter this? What if the server changes his positioning to just serve extreme cross court? Like basically serve from near the doubles alley and just go as cross court as possible? Even if Medvedev returns the ball, it has to be coming back in your direction, and of course your next shot would go to the opposite side of the court. He would have to run way further to get back into rally position.
Is this just silly or could it actually have some potential to work?
