Hey Gabriel, I can understand how you feel because I also have similar problems sometimes, where I feel in rallies and also when I’m serving I feel confident but I struggle a lot more when returning serves and lose a lot of points there. It’s difficult to practice this of course if players don’t do it in training but there are some things that will help you in the long run in matches. Being indecisive when returning serves always causes mistakes, so try to commit to what shot you want to play and stick to it, of course sometimes you might make the wrong decision but in the long run you will start to have better quality returns. I also think being good with your backhand flick can really help because it’s a very flexible shot and you can return basically any serve using this shot.
So I think try to really work on your backhand flick in training and being confident to use it against different serves. Also be sure to watch that the serves you are struggling with aren’t drifting long because then it’s much easier to return them with a topspin attack and get into the rally play. Dan 🙂
