Well, I played in a doubles tournament today and got to the finals. One of our opponents was mediocre, but the other guy was serving bombs on us the whole match. Neither myself or my partner could touch it, and we can pace and big serves.....but this thing was a monster. We tried just blocking it back.....but we couldn't track it down or get a racket on it. My partner and I both have big serves too, in fact, I have the biggest one on the whole team, but man............his was just crazy. The end result was 6-8, but we were down 0-3 and we really fought back into the match. At 6-6, the mediocre was serving at 3-3 and the net man just got a REALLY lucky volley. Then I just couldn't hold serve cause of the pressure.
Is there any effective way you can neutralize such power? We might have done better if anyone we practice with serves like that, but no one does. What do you guys think?
