"Court positioning when cutting off a serve. Again, we've talked about standing a racquet's length away, here prepared for the serve. They hit a lob serve, I want to be aggressive, I want to come up and cut off that ball. The court positioning is key because there's a little line here, the dotted line, that a referee is keeping a very close eye on. So, you cannot cross this line here, or here in this plane before the ball bounces. So if the ball is still in the air and I cross over, I lose that point. So, court positioning, come up here, wait for that ball. I've got a stand here a foot behind the ball and not cross over until it bounces. Ball bounces, I cross over and I'm good. So, go from right back there, your court positioning when you return the serve, get up here, stay behind this dotted line, let it bounce, take your swing, and stay in center court. If it's way over here on the backhand side, you'll hit it, and go back to the center. If it's way over here on the forehand side, let it bounce, hit it, and go back to the center court and get prepared to see what your opponent's going to do."
