Serve and Volley
Pat explains the technique he uses to close the net after serving, and why rhythm was so important to him.
He also explains why Pete Sampras’ style of serving and volleying isn’t the best model for a recreational player to follow.
Don’t want to serve and volley? You’ll still be getting plenty of short, weak returns that you can take as a groundstroke. Recreational players HATE handling short balls, and they hate missing those shots even more. Pat’s got you covered by showing you how to close short balls and end points quickly.

Improve Serve and Volley
Serve and volley is a style of play in tennis where the player serving moves quickly towards the net after hitting a serve. The server then attempts to hit a volley (a shot where the ball is struck without allowing it to bounce), as opposed to the baseline style, where the server stays back following the serve and attempts to hit a groundstroke (a shot where the ball is allowed to bounce before contact is made).
The serve style of play has diminished in recent years with the advances in racquet and string technologies which allows players to generate great amount of topsin on ground strokes and passing shots. Patrick Rafter was the last pure serve and volley player to win a grand slam. Also the slowing of court surfaces and deflation of the balls for greater rallies for the enjoyment of spectators has also put a dampener on the serve and volley style
Other male tennis players known for their serve-and-volley technique include Rod Laver, John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Patrick Rafter and Richard Krajicek.
