Indecision is costly in tennis, but there are two times when you should never be guilty of this cardinal sin: when you’re serving and returning serve. Before you step up to the line to hit a serve, know what kind of placement, speed, and spin you want to give it. When returning serve, decide and picture in your mind what you’ll do with the ball on both the forehand and backhand sides if you get a good swing at the ball.
