Serve and Volley Tips...

Serve and Volley 
-is the signature game play of tennis legend Pete Sampras well know for a massive twist serve and powerful volley, this style of game play can put your opponent pace into defensive state where you can control and quicken the pace of the game, here area some tips to adopt this kind of playing.

First you have to geared-up for your first serve this is the key, for you to be able to execute serve and volley effectively, poorly done serve means a massive return and leave you defensively... OK let us say you mastered our twist serve, next thing to do is to approach the net, by following your serve down to the center of the tennis court near the net Keep in mind to run only far as you can while the ball is traveling in the air, one it hits the ground, you have to stop and be ready to returns opponent's shot, with you racket in front of you above the net, don't put your racket pace lower than the net for you to be able to hit more accurately. 
Now that your are at the net, you have to face the net with knee bent and racket up held in front of you, you better have quick reflexes in Volleying, so you have to be focus at all time and be ready to move when your opponent hit the ball. 
Volleying is an advantage, an has high risk too, to pull-off a big serve and approaching the net putting pressure to your opponent to have a good down the line shots, or an overhead lob shot where it be difficult for your opponent to place.
Once you have establish at the net prepare to aim your return to a point that your opponent cannot reach, be smart at where to aim it.  If the ball comes a lob lob try to finish it off by an overhead shot pointing at the ball with one hand to position yourself, and then swing like you are to serve, don't hesitate being at the net try to control the game and finish it quick the key serve and volley is to kill the ball in 3 or less shots.
