Curve the ball away with a slice serve to open the court.
What coaches agree on
- Use a Continental grip — it's the foundation of a slice serve, since a frying-pan or forehand grip can't produce spin no matter how fast you swing.
- Keep your ball toss in the same spot for every serve — slice, flat, or topspin — so your opponent can't read which one is coming.

- The curve comes from swinging across the ball at an angle — strings turned toward your target while your arm travels out to the side through contact.
Common mistakes
- Trying to manually curl the racket around the outside of the ball, instead of letting your arm swing through normally while the wrist and racket face do the work — several coaches call this out directly as a myth that kills racket speed.
