It's amazing that Hermont camouflaged his flat, slice and kick pretty well. Without knowing beforehand, you couldn't really tell from his ball toss what kind of serve would come next. Maybe the kick toss was a tad more to his left, but they all had some sort of arch in that direction.

One huge factor is the player knows beforehand it’s going to be a kick serve out wide. It’s way harder to return it during an actual game when you don’t know what kind of serve is coming.

Two of the guys that I used to play with had 120 MPH serves. Both were 6' 5". One owned a construction company and worked construction with his employees. He also had a monster of a kick serve where you have to get the racquet above your shoulders to return it unless you tried to cut it off. One other guy I play regularly had a 110 MPH serve but he's in his 70s now. He's a former D3 player. My feelings on returning these serves is that you have to have some idea as to where it's going unless it's coming right at you. So you guess. If you guess wrong, then you lose the point. But you'll lose it anyways if you don't guess. The other guy was a competitive junior that went to college though I think that he wound up playing basketball. There's a video like this except with Roddick serving. With Roddick serving, it's more important

@@LoosSerine It's preference. Djokovic does like a horse stance (martial Arts) (wide stance) and then there's players like Nishikori/Murray, that do a side stance into a split, which gives them forward momentum. I believe Wawrinka does a combo of small horse stance into a few bounces into a split step...just practice several and find your prefrence. I believe 2 minute tennis just did a video on split step timing that may help you as well.

I thought Rick did give good tips to the guy so he could have the highest success.

Return position was pretty challenging for them. The slice should have seen them closer, and maybe leaning to their right. And the kick serve, again, closer, but leaning to their left. Also, the flat first serves were not 100% in. I think you should have allowed the returners another go for the serves that were out.

If returning deuce court then flat serve she always be T or body and slice should be body or out wide to be more fair to the beginners.
