🏆 #1 Takeaway - What is the best way to return tricky serves off the glass?
To return tricky serves off the glass, focus on proper starting position, giving yourself enough space from the glass, early racket preparation (low for slice), and blocking the ball back into play for consistency rather than going for winners.

What Your Guru Thinks
